Magic Kingdom Had a Lot More Stuff!

Garden Gate Gifts is open, but I haven't seen the Outpost open since before COVID.

Interesting, I'm sure things have changed since I've last went was 5 years ago. I think there is also a small kiosk on the left hand side before entering under Main Street Station at MK but, I can't seem to find out what it's named.

It’s called the Newsstand and it has not been open in over half a decade.

My comment was more about attitudes toward changes rather than the changes themselves. People differ on what they like and that’s perfectly fine.

Change is inevitable, but doesn't mean it has to be lazy.

Using the new Carsland for example, I'm fine with them getting rid of TSI, even though I find it all aesthetically pleasing and enjoy a relaxing riverboat ride. However, they could have literally taken an almost exact ride/track layout of the Radiator Springs Racer ride, but instead of anthropomorphic modern day automobiles, it could have been stagecoaches with a creative backstory (just for example).

Would have accomplished the same goals without shoehorning IP that doesn't A) belong and B) no one was clamoring for.

What if the goal is shoehorning IP that people don't care about?

OMG that's terrible. The shock and horror a child will go through seeing that.

Worse yet…

I don’t think anyone actually wants Disney to change drastically - if they do, they wouldn’t want to go to Disney in the first place.

Live entertainment is the best! I remember how much we loved live bands at weddings, which you hardly ever see anymore.

Yep, we had a live band at our wedding back in Dec. of ‘88, and so did every other wedding we went to, before and after ours, for years…!!!

I don’t know there are definitely some things at the parks I want to change I would make a list but it would derail the thread 8 ways to Sunday.

Change or add / improve?

I would love to see the return of more live entertainment, more parades, more nighttime shows, etc.

But I don’t want much to drastically change - cause then it wouldn’t be Disney.

Agree with all those things but see above for why I won’t say much more
