Wait, so WDI is involved in designing toys but not shows in the parks? What the heck?

Muppets Theater is being used to show 3 Pixar shorts in 3D. The shirts are The One With The Birds On A Wire, Lava, and Piper. There were some physical effects... wind, water, lighting, etc... and then some models in the holding space.

A handy guide to assigning blame:
Is the thing a permanent park change? - blame WDI
Is the thing a temporary overlay/promotion? - blame Marketing

Yeah, the whole “at least it’s hidden” thing doesn’t fly with me, because it’s still in the park. Anyone could ignore that, or ignore Pixar Pier as well. No one will be forced to go to either, however it doesn’t take away the fact that they’re there. The rides at PP are the same. The aesthetic is different.
Again, both look terrible. Both are examples of the lazy work being done currently within the company. If I had to suffer through one, it would be PP. I’m somewhat interested in Incredicoaster, specifically the entrance. There’s quite literally nothing about TSL that interests me. I don’t want to experience a land solely based on Toy Story.
It’s fine if you and others disagree.

It's not like anyone is actually going to write to anyone lol. Everyone is going to say how much they hate it from behind a keyboard and show up next week at the park.

I should have my ten year old write letters telling them it all looks "horrible as hell" in his chicken scratch handwriting.

But pixar fest is way more of a eye sore than toy story land

Pixar fest is basically the 2/3rd of the DCA park and toy story land is just a land... Not like it's taking over the whole park

My opinion doesn’t change. And no, it’s not 2/3. PP is a land as well and not taking over all of DCA. You’re exaggerating, but not for an effect.
My opinion is not changing.

But Raven, your opinion is wrong

I kind of look at it like this: TSL is a from-the-ground-up custom designed 11 acre Pixar themed realm with at least one featured attraction unique to DHS. Pixar Pier, on the other hand, is largely an elaborate re-skinning of existing infrastructure that's mostly been there for close to two decades. Comparing the two, and questionable Pixar theming aside, Toy Story Land seems more like a net add to WDW than Pixar Pier does to DLR.

Toy Story 4's release date was announced this week for June 21, 2019. How much you wanna bet this "festival" is recycled and returns to one or both parks next summer?
Creative Entertainment is part of WDI, and some of the teams are local to each park and handle smaller things like new PPP floats and smaller entertainment thingies. Bigger shows are handled in Glendale by WDI CE (Frozen, WOC, etc)

Why do I think this was already known, that Incredibles 2 took over the original (albeit revised from 2017) TS4 slot for 2018 and TS4 took over the original Incredibles 2 slot for 2019.
I hope to God there are no fests going on in DL next summer. DCA will need all the help it can get though!

DCA is going to be a ghost town.
