Yeah they should. But what they shouldn't do on a project like that is cut the budget substantially so that the amazing E ticket in the plans is cut out. Not just simply clone a ride that already exists in the park. Also, clone a ride from another park that had some definite story and ride design issues and not address said issues...and spend more on the queue than the actual ride. Gut an existing classic ride when there was plenty of room for that interactive meet and greet somewhere else and then create a ride that while probably cute, would be a kiddie coaster being sold as an E ticket coaster...when it could have actually been an E ticket if built to its original design. Or make the restaurant based on the blockbuster film with cafeteria style set up so the magic is diminished a bit solely to be able to get more bodies in and out, aesthetics be damned.
Hmmm. Nah. They wouldn't do that.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Kind of pulling your leg some. NFE is nice. It's very pretty. But it's not without its flaws and as nice as it is, my opinion is that its full potential definitely wasn't realized, as are sadly most of Disney's projects nowadays.
no worries, i was just busting your chops anyway. what Amazing E Ticket did they cut. I only started following the project last summer. What were some of the original plans, other then the pixie hollow and snow whites cottege.

As I understand it, there was some sort of plan to include an E ticket with original characters (ie Mickey and the Gang... it actually astonishes me that the only attraction that even features them really is Philharmagic). I think it was only sadly in very early versions of the plans... but still, oh what could have been...

I vaguely Remember a Rumor that Disney was going to create an E Ticket attraction called Villian Mountain. it was a matterhorn Flume/Coaster that would go in and around the mountain and splash through water. it was to feature Jafar, Hook, Ursula, Malicifiant, etc.
would have been nice
I reallly would like to see the indiana Jones Ride from California make its way to Orlando. same with Roger Rabbit

well, not specifically to MK, but I can think of Wall-e's statue in TL and Snow White's wishing well. That's all I've got

Oh, I wasn't thinking about restaurants. Then there's also Lady and the Tramp, Pecos Bill.. there must be others as well
I was thinking that too. I hear a refurbed attraction in Epcot may finally be worth reading about. I hear its turned out rather good...

No way!!!! I must go digging through the poop in order to read about this newly refurbished ride....
A highly themed bathroom.........which baffles me. People get mad for no themed napkins, but get mad for highly themed bathroom......

Orlando's Carousel, no. The only Sleeping Beauty stuff in WDW are character meet and greets, show appearences (Fantasmic!, Dream Along with Mickey, SpectroMagic etc.) and that dress in the shop by the castle, which is actually a neat trick.
DL's got the great walk-though and Paris has the castle.

I see no reason to complain about the world's most elaborate bathroom or M&G or whatever.
It's when they create the cheapest ride, parade etc. that's the problem.

I don't think anyone is mad about the bathroom. People are just dissatisfied with the attractions Disney has opened in the last few years. For a long time, there was nothing. And when they finally unveiled their big project it turned out to be nice-looking but very modest in scope. Especially given how long it took to build it. So when you see a highly themed bathroom, you wonder why Disney is spending resources on that rather than more attractions.

The an absurd statement and argument. Nothing competes with the castle. You're reaching. Stop being such a bummer man. the Tower is awesome ! One of the best aesthetic improvements in a long time and right on par with the the FLE details.

This is sort of my issue. I have nothing wrong with themed bathrooms or plussing smaller areas of activity. What I question is what I see as trying to make everything as an E-Ticket in terms if visual language. If everything down to the bathrooms becomes a landmark or "weenie," then there is are no real landmarks anymore and the parks have become the chaotic fighting of large signs that so dominates the outside world. The parks are a prettier version of what they claim to escape.
