I do think there's a case to be made that there's been more misses than hits for the last several years.Oh grow up you guys
Not everything has been terrible, of course, and a lot of changes have been made with good intentions in mind. Some were necessary. But I can think of several things they've changed over the past decade that I very much wish would be changed back, and I feel like my list pales in comparison to those others might come up with.
Do I hope it will turn out at top quality? Of course. But given many of the decisions made in the parks over the last several years I can't blame people for not being blindly optimistic about what Disney will ultimately build or change.

I believe Ludwig was also the narrator for a ferrie wheel that was once displayed in front of Main Street Station sometime in the late 1980s.

Do you guys ever think *what would Walt think*? He would be so impressed...

I'm sure he'd love the "improvements" to things like Soarin', Pixar Pier, the increasing frequency of price gouging, and his home park's insistence at running a dinosaur rather than the state of the art parade they also have.

It's not a rumor, it's just something that we would like to see. I myself proposed a retheme of the ride in the latest thread on improving the rest of Toontown.
That's a good idea. I've thought of using Huey, Dewey and Louie for the retheme, which would entail the theme of Donald's Boat to be expanded to include the coaster. On the other hand, Von Drake definitely has possibilities. I like him. One concept I thought of was something like this quickie from "Mouse Works", in which an invention of his goes haywire:

Watching the Mickey Mouse Works/House of Mouse clip is already making me wish for a future House of Mouse revival on Disney+. Heck, Ludwig's segments were always amusing to watch just to hear his mother yelling at him off-screen. At least Ludwig is still used in newer Mickey Mouse related projects. But he's very underused at the Disney Theme Parks.

Some time and a few pages ago, I was advised about how drought conditions in the state would have one upside: allowing construction to continue without interference from inclement weather. Indeed, there were some pics taken of the area with the ground all torn up, ready to begin the overhaul process. It's all fine and dandy, except...
Now, I don't know how far along construction will be by this fall/winter, but as I was trying to clear out my news feed on Facebook, I happened upon an article from the Mountain Democrat, which stated how the rains in April helped improve water supplies for the state:
At the end of the article, there is a brief blurb that got my attention:
Next fall and winter hold out the prospect of more precipitation as La Niña conditions weaken and move toward neutral with colder water in the eastern Pacific (coastal waters and westward), according to the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center.
Mind you, the article may just be only about NorCal, as SoCal is in a state of such drought that water has to be more conserved than ever, to the point of not allowing green lawns. But if what the NWS says is true, we may (or may not) be in for more rain this fall and winter statewide.
Don't get me wrong, we need the rain, especially now more than ever. But this could easily affect the ongoing overhaul of Toontown at the time, since they said that it will reopen in early/Spring of 2023. I'm only saying this because I'm no expert on doing construction projects in adverse weather conditions.
The main reason I bring this up is that I read that, according to Neal Gabler's book on Walt Disney, during the construction of Disneyland in 1955, in which they were under a lot of pressure to build it in a year, they faced opposition from the weather: "The weather in the spring was the wettest the county had had in twenty years."

In most places, rain isn't considered an adverse weather condition.

Okay, but wouldn't rain interfere with outside construction projects, any ones at all?

Your fears here are unfounded here my friend. Because I know you're worried that somehow a little rain is going to cause HUGE delays and the project won't be finished for years. That just isn't going to happen, so calm your fears.
Lets say that the prediction of a "wetter winter in 2022" for the LA Region is correct, not all construction stops. The overall project is mostly a cosmetic facelift to TT, its not a complete rebuild. That means its primarily just surface level changes. And based on the recent pictures seen work is well underway. So its unlikely very much would be affected by a "wetter winter". Plus Disney can accelerate any "outside" work that needs to be done in order meet their timeline and miss any "wetter winter". Or lets say that for some reason that there are a few days, or even weeks of constant rain that completely stops construction even if that is very unlikely, so what. Disney hasn't provided an official reopening date just yet, and gave vague reopening of "early 2023". This gives them a lot of wiggle room in terms of timeline, so even if there are delays its not like its going to cause the whole project to be shutdown for years. Its more likely if there were a "wetter winter" and "if" it caused delays it would only be for a few days.
So again calm your fears and just let the project complete and it'll be reopened before you know it.

Just listening to the latest interview with Ken. With the new ToonTown he emphasized that M&MRR will have additions not found at DHS. As well with the new grassy picnic areas, they will be selling some sort of picnic option for families to share as a new Food and Bev offering.

I never said it wouldn't be finished for years. Maybe a few weeks, or a month at most.
Considering that the project involves the addition of a huge tree, plus some repaving, it may not be a complete rebuild, but neither is it merely cosmetic. It probably lies in the middle somewhere.
Admittedly, as I said, I don't know how far along construction will be by fall. I'm just speculating.
