Just looked at the WDW webpage... No times for any date past January 6th... Looks to me like the parade is going, going, gone...

It sounds like the majority of 60th plans are all nixed, including any new parades and the fantasyland dark rides revamp.....Disneyland will lose its subs it sounds like, and we will lose Imagination, the AK parade,,,lets see what else gets cut. Great job Disney.

I am sure avatarland is next. YAY. I really wanna know why it took this long to figure out this was a bad idea.
And you just know I'm going to say that I can't say. Or rather name names.
How are we losing Journey into Imagination?
Bless. Thank you
DLP is getting much needed renovation love, something that's already well started. Ride effects, a full Main Street refurb and rebuild, a multi year Newport Bay renovation is starting and the multi year Sequoia Lodge renovation was completed a year ago (those are two of the largest hotels in Europe). Rat is of course opening next spring, and finally make WDSP a full day for the average guest. Dreams is scheduled to run through next year, at the expense of Fantillusion - finances were diverted to the spectacular castle show, and logistics in the summer were making the parade harder and harder to run with the sky dark enough.
And consensus amongst the French is MM+ once hell freezes over.

I could care less because if I had a fastpass old or new and the line was that long compared to standby whywouldn't anyone just hop into standby

How? It is closing next year with no replacement... Just like Wonders of Life...
Has this been officially reported? So Figment is gone for good?
And I read the spirited thread, but that's been off topic for a while, and I've seen nothing new as far as Imagination is concerned.

according to spirit, thats the current plan. thats why its important to send out letters now because once its closed its too late. but now with the new board descion putting the freeze on everything any potentional imagination redo, it sounds like TDO wont have any choice anyway.

The detail I'd like to know with regards to these long FP lines was asked on another thread. Is the line backed up all the way from ride load through the queue indoors, out past the FP return sign or is it a logjam at the first Magic Band sensor located under the sign and then the queue inside is not fully loaded? If it's fully loaded all the way inside and then out to where the photo was taken, WDWDad13's question makes a great deal of sense, why not just hop in the standby?

Hey isnt it ironic that Disneys new movie is called Frozen, when the board has now Frozen just about everything?

Hasn't been officially reported, but neither has Jammin Jungle Parade not coming back either... 74 has reported that numerous times... And on the WDW website, JJP has no times on the scheduled past January 5th...
So since it appears 74 was right with the DAK parade (along with a few others here who also said it), I think we can say there is a more than 50% chance he'll be right about Imagination too...

Im surprised the Social Media Cabal at CP hasnt put out some new scraps of info on a minor project in a blog post to distract everyone from this report today.

I dont think they can ... no amount of spin can change the fact that this is turning into a run-away train.

Give it time.. I am sure they are this close to closing down something popular to add more princess meet and greets for the 4 year old girls, since this is all they know how to do in WDW...
That is incredible, and ridiculous. What is the point of FastPass when you experience a line like this?
MM+ and FP+ are both an absolute failure. Planners of both lost sight of what makes a Disney vacation attractive. The focus on a high quality experience has been replaced with the desire to get every penny from me at all costs - even if that cost is a return trip. I visited Disneyland 2 weeks ago, and I am heading back in 2 weeks. What a breath of fresh air. I hadn't been to DLR since 2011. I don't subscribe to the Pixie dust - I do Disney vacations because they are fun, not simply because they are Disney. I don't care whose logo is on the ticket, as long as I get to have fun.
MM+ and FP+ have made me re-evaluate my annual plans for WDW, and we decided that we won't be back in the foreseeable future. Simple as that. I'd rather spend my money on vacations where I get to do and see what I want - not plan out ride times months in advance. If I do Disney, it will be Anaheim or Tokyo. More than likely, I will put more of my vacation money into New York, the Grand Canyon, London/Paris, and other things like that. I've said it before - Disney has driven me away from WDW.
I am happy that Iger is unhappy. He should be. WDW was just fine before MM+ came around. It wasn't perfect - but the lack of perfection certainly wasn't because of a lack of MM+ and FP+. What guest feedback made them think it would be a good idea? What sort of cooked analytics did they use to justify this? $1.5B for MM+...disgusting when you think about what the other parks have done with $1.5B recently.
