RUMOR: Lin Manuel Miranda and Weird Al to Redo Hall of Presidents

[brb1006]

Speaking of The Muppets, looking forward to "Muppets Now" on Disney+.

 

[Mainahman]

I want Muppets darn it....Muppets don't get alot of love in the parks

Now if these 2 could get with the Muppet staff and re write it, id be all in, and in Heaven!!

The more I think about this I think we are forgetting something... IP. Hamilton is now part of the Disney IP brand. Disney isn’t just retheming Splash, they are retheming it to a princess IP (debating how popular or not Princess and the Frog is doesn’t matter... all princess movies are major Disney IP’s).

I think the goal will be to brand HOP with a Disney IP. I’m guessing Disney+ will have more from Lin in the next few years as well.

Disney was the distributor of Hamilton

The Left absolutely hates this country and anything portraying it in a positive light. Disney moving away from Walts love of America is shameful. After Splash mountain and this I am done visiting the parks ever again!

Splash is the wrong example.

Purging any and all patriotism is a mistake. No proof yet that this is the plan.

A further thought -

The show will probably focus on “Founding Fathers” and be written so that it can play at both Mk and Disneyland.

I love Weird Al, haven't seen Hamilton. Looks like I'm in the minority, but this is the stupidest idea I have ever heard of. And if a person boos
the current president AA that person is a moron and I don't care which party the President is in.

Ehh... No one goes "hey, I want to goto the John Williams Stunt Show..." because John Williams was the force behind the soundtrack and writing of the music.

Nor does anyone say "Hey, did you get tickets to Joe Rhode Park"

Don't creatively inter-swap creative forces with the actual Intellecutal Property those forces are associated with.

Lin is super talented, as is Al. If this turns out to be true and actually comes to fruition I would see this as a positive.

Love the music in Moana

It doesn’t take much creative inter-swapping to imagine “from the creator of Hamilton” being part of the advertising.

Please keep politics& social issues in the correct forum. I've deleted a whole lot of posts, and issued a whole lot of warnings.

Yes Ma'am. Of course, the difficulty about the warning is you can't go back to see what you said that crossed the line, because the post has been deleted.

I get the whole "Disney World isn't a museum" bit, but if the changes they are making are worse then the originals. Then we are left with a worse version of Disney World.

Using a museum for an example, People don't say "Take that stupid Mona Lisa painting off the wall, I'm going to put up a finger painting by my 3 year old son Oscar."

The fact is though, that they are changing things, and there’s nothing we can do about it. I generally hope for the best, though I know we’ve all been burned before. Tiki Room: UNM was obviously not loved by many. I still miss Maelstrom but don’t really hate FEA either. I personally think MMRR looks great from what I’ve seen of ride thru videos and I always had a soft spot for TGMR. I’ve tried to get my wife to do HoP but she’s never been interested. Maybe an update is what it needs

Just assume that it was political, or otherwise against ToS.

That won’t happen.

In this case, how on earth do you know it will be worse? The current HoP is not exactly the Mona Lisa and features a show that is less than 4 years old.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

That won’t happen.

Why not?

I think it would be neat if this attraction could bring a new original character into the park.

Been a while since we had a park-exclusive IP like the Orange Bird, Hitchhiking Ghosts, Figment, etc.

 

[drizgirl]

I'm thinking they should retheme the attraction to "Amish Paradise". Should be a uniquely American experience.

They'll call it

"Disney* PRESIDENT - From the Creator of Hamilton"
