Stitch from when he took over the Tiki Room in Florida.Who is the little guy on the left in the Moana picture?
That guy in the middle! Hahahaah
There is so much wasted space around the pier, love what this picture shows. Imagine if they had actually done a show that is 360 and then expanded the actual pier into some of that wasted water space by the Mickey wheel and sand pit behind the zephyr and Silly SymphonyThe AI used the area for much better viewing but kept the fountain show the same size. We really don't need such a large body of water.
Publishing took a huge hit as well when Ipads and Iphones and other digital equipment came out. Thousands of books stores, printing houses, new paper outlets went out of business and left thousands without work. It is a constant evolution of new technologies that ca not be stopped and just like you say will have to adapt to change.All of that is accurate. We should also mention Fotomat and all the people put out of work now that they're no longer needed by society. I used Fotomat often and happily. They were great.
I always smile when I see an abandoned Fotomat hut in an old parking lot somewhere, but they are becoming very rare.
Also, just think of the Cast Members put out of work now that Disneyland no longer offers a "Rental Camera" service for the day, and staffed camera experts to help you with technical questions and problems. A once important service and employment option that is now as needed by a Disneyland guest as a buggy whip manufacturer.
Back OT, what if they actually made the Hyperion Theater like it was a grand theatrical palace as found on Hollywood Boulevard circa 1925? But not just a cheap stucco warehouse box with a faux marquee pasted on the side sitting at the end of that long DCA street, but a fully fleshed out grand theater from Hollywood's Golden Age?
(Again, requiring Tokyo level budgets, not cheap TDA budgets)
In each development, (not including the last 4 yet) jobs were lost and entire career fields became extinct as other jobs and careers were born and the entertainment industry morphed and adapted.
Speaking of TDA being cheap and tacky for the past 25 years...
One of the ugliest and most derided aspects of the "Disneyland Resort" project of 1997-2001 was the awful "East Esplanade" and main entrance plaza off of Harbor Blvd. This is where tens of thousands of visitors per day, mostly the tourists staying at area hotels who thus spend a lot more money than locals stopping by for a few hours once a month, entered Disneyland via some of the cheapest and ugliest architecture and environments that TDA has ever done. And it never has been fixed.
So I asked my new friend A.I. to fix that for us...
The new Harbor Blvd. entrance esplanade and security screening complex, but done with a proper budget from a company that makes Billions of dollars in profits every year and claims to value showmanship and their "guests".

Or, here's another option that's more American architecture in style, instead of the vaguely Parisian one above (I think it's the Mansard roofline and Art Nouveau font that makes it look a tad too Parisian for my tastes, but I still like the general concept above with its sense of grandness and importance aimed at the "guests" who pay a lot of money to be there).

This reminded me so much of the gorgeous Disneyland Paris.Tom Sawyer's island makeover
The original Kung Fu Panda was actually Dreamworks/Paramount (only KFP3 was distributed by 20th Century), its now under Comcast Universal I believeKung Fu was Fox yeah? So Cross-over!
