I actually really love the Pixar Promenade so far.
TBH while Pixar Pier thematically doesn’t make sense, at least they are improving PARTS of the pier...
Still think they should just bolddoze everything except California Screamin’, hid most of the supports with fake rocks and repaint the rest brown. Then add a dark ride section to the beginning and ride scenes throughout and make it a coaster version of Tokyo’s Journey to the Center of the Earth. Then add a Tokyo Disney Sea Mysterious Island around the bay. That would be so cool and enough reason for people to go to DCA. But alas that won’t happen with current management.
