Your "nice old French Village" already exists near the parks : "La Vallée Village" Outlet. They HAVE to propose complimentary experiences with their partners !
Heh, looks like any other outlet in Western Europe…. I was in Maasmechelen this morning and it looks exactly the same, Roermond 2 weeks ago too. I meant something more in a fantasy style, maybe in a medieval-like theme, like some nice alsacian villages still look like (Riquewihr..). Or anything more exotic than what you can see in real life

Nobody wants to see a second Fantasyland? In whose name are you speaking, cuz that statement is bonkers
Yet everyone wants to see a second Shopping Promenade Claye-Souilly that's near Paris? What audience did you survey?
Let's face it...the Village 2.0 remodel is lazy, wildly generic & lacking a theme. There is nothing "american" about it, it's just globalist.
If they wanted to give us something more "american", the Hyperion Wharf concept that they scrapped at WDW would have been amazing.

This sounds a little like the argument that they didn't build the second ride in Frozenland because two rides in the one universe would be redundant: It's an explanation for why they did what they did, but it's not one that makes much sense.

Funny how you took the Fantasyland thing so literally. The main idea is that a more themed or fun looking shopping district is welcome.
I am excited for many things, Winnie the Pooh might be one on a long list. I wouldn't particularly say that mature and Disney go hand in hand or that they cancel each other? Isn't the mature public there to be immersed back into childhood one way or the other?
There's nothing Chelsea or Quincy about the proposed aesthetic. Where on earth did you get that reference from the concept art they shared, are we looking at the same thing?
How are these photos in any way related to the concept art they released?
Are we really narrowing it down to either Alpine aesthetic or suburban strip mall?
Let's take a look at what Universal is doing with CityWalk...is it cohesive? Debatable, it doesn't feel like a theme park but it looks a lot of fun! and different enough from what's out there. Also checks the box of "mature experience"...mature doesn't have to be boring.
If one is too "mature" maybe Disney isn't for them in the first place, Paris can offer all the "real deal" architecture in the world.

I can’t deny I feel like the DLP sub forum has gone off the rails in the past few months. It used to be a nice quiet place with occasional rumours and news but more recently there just seems to be complaining and negativity.
I mean I still don't think we have seen anything like that in the concept art so far? Maybe we will be surprised but, if we are then DLP is doing a fairly poor job of marketing the vision...
People are allowed to have different opinions about things like this (especially when most of us are commenting on what has been officially released so far which is... rather lacking).
I don't feel like its the forum thats the problem
Spring has been missed

I don't think disagreeing and challenging someone is hate. I'm mirroring a similar tone at the best, calling it hate is a stretch.
At the end of the day it's not that deep, it's a Disney forum for God's sake...only politicians and celebrities have haters
Haven't particularly noticed anything going off the rails. It was quite an exciting few months. The place used to be quiet because there was radio silence regarding any sort of expansion/projects being announced.
I guess the complaining goes hand in hand with people not being satisfied with what choices the WDC has been making recently.
Are we including the cast member protests as part of that negativity? I think critique can be healthy and necessary.

I think for me, I have been quite critical recently on DLP but it’s only because I believe the parks deserve more.
I like Avengers Campus. It’s solid but needs the Thanos Attraction. WDSP expansion seems to have Frozen as its centre point, yet only one attraction? It isn’t good enough.
I guess I need to think of it the other way around and be happy the park is at least getting the expansion at all.

Not quite magical is it?

Facebook and Instagram do seem much more aligned to the DLP guest profile as well as having 3bn users vs 300m. Plus it avoids the chaotic backend problems Twitter now has since Elon took over. But I will concede it is annoying and I think the DLP fanatics are more likely to use Twitter than Facebook.

I'm so nervous for what may have been done to the squid . . . I really hope it remains a fantastic show element
