Is that where we try to follow Dash though Metroville to watch his HS band concert?

So
Is "they" in this senence the "they" at Disney above, or Scott and friends (other than you?!)?
The real problem I'm having, I think, is that I don't know why "Disney" is in quotes, and trying to figure that out is confusing me.

I just watched the video too. Great point!
Also, WDI no longer cares about such things, so…?
Seems if you believe many they do care about losing out on their precious parking and office space, so see ya, Muppets!

If they want to reuse restaurant infrastructure, couldn’t they turn Disney Jr back into a restaurant? Then move that show to either the Sounds Dangerous building or Racing Academy (might need that AA for something soon…)

The old Muppet balloon was removed because it was bright and colorful, that's a bigger visual concern than the Monster Inc big gray box.

On the topic of slinky dog, I think the draw is that it's an outdoor coaster at a resort not known for outdoor coasters. There are five, maybe five and a half, depending on how you count Tron: Big Thunder, Barnstormer, Seven Dwarfs, Everest, and Slink. Of those, Big Thunder is awesome and iconic, but Barnstormer is a true kiddy ride, and Seven Dwarfs is too short, while Everest doesn't appeal to families.
Slinky Dog is the first outdoor coaster at WDW to give high-up arial views while being accessible to families with children. It also has a fun launch sequence that isn't too thrilling but has fun flashing lights that make kids smile. But more than that, it gets you up close and personal with a beloved character from a beloved movie, and he talks! It's a ride vehicle that talks!
It's popular because it offers fun views from the sky while being accessible to families, and it's also a character experience!
While I agree it may be too lightly themed, the "Andy built a roller coaster kit in his backyard and attached Slink to the track" idea doesn't really offend me, and seems like a decent justification for building an outdoor roller coaster in an immersively-themed area. What are the other options -- a runaway train? They already did that. Twice.
Now Tron's outdoor section, on the other hand...

It’s vague, you can hear the line as soon as I publish the episode. But I think “they” means Disney here.

With our luck, they'll probably put a Family Guy attraction in Hollywood Studios at some point too.
It was SUPPOSED to be temporary - it stuck around long after Frozen Fun ended. The only reason they got rid of it was because they decided to stick a Frozen show in the Hyperion Theater.
I'd argue he's more of a Disney Legend than Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Christina Aguilera.

Nah they’re saving that for a COP overlay. /s

This might be doe-eyed optimism talking, but I think anything that currently has "Walt Disney's" in the title (all 2 of those) will exist in some form for at least a few more decades.

I think there’s exactly one fairly “safe” attraction per land (meaning safe in the sense that it will likely continue to nominally exist in some form even if significantly altered), and CoP isn’t one of them. I’d personally bet on Space Mountain, Small World, Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder, Pirates, the Castle (if that counts), and that’s about it.

I would bet on Peter Pan's Flight long before I'd bet on Small World remaining at WDW into the distant future. I would also bet on the carousel and Dumbo remaining in Fantasyland -- Dumbo was so popular they re-created a higher-capacity version. I also highly doubt the train would ever fully go away, but I'm less certain about that one.

Oh I could see it going away very soon. The construction project would be a great excuse.
Park a train at each station and you’re done.

I have no idea where else to post this and theres no way I'm the first to think of it, but in an alternate reality there was probably a GMR refresh announced at D23 for all Disney movies and the ride gets hijacked by Deadpool.
So really theres no winning.

Two days ago, the site that shall not be named said the following:
"Land will go were the animation building currently stands. the front guest facing part of this is Star Wars launch bay, parking garage and animation building will be torn down to make way for the rest of the land."
Again, this probably doesn't mean much and our insiders here have said otherwise. I thought it would be wise to fully document this though in the event it's not Muppets. The insiders here have started to convince me it's going in Muppets, but trying to hold out hope even though they are likely right.

I think I’m starting to come to terms with it. Hall of presidents is probably gonna happen at one point (kills two birds with one stone, won’t be surprised if we get an announcement with monsters closing. Even if not it’s probably gonna happen eventually), so they hopefully won’t be gone forever. I know most attractions have their times nowadays but man was I hoping this one would pull through. Monsters Inc should be cool and a worthy replacement. I will miss MV3D like hell though.

I agree, Tom C. seem very positive Monsters will go where launch bay is not, Tom did not say maybe, he was positive.
Tom is now good friends with TWDC and is back on the media list so this may be a factor?
That said, he was clear he HATES the new Poly DVC tower, so he is not totally bought and paid for.
I will miss his rants for sure
