So what was the third ride? Because FoP has already completely floored me like I haven’t been since Forbidden Journey.
Isn’t an expansion on the way or no?
I'm not going to spill the beans on what might have been because theoretically, it still could be on the table.
The second question is the far more interesting and impacting one.
Currently, things are very much in flux for the artist formally known as TDO. It's seemingly a great big beautiful tomorrow with many years of "growth" on the plate. The real question is how much of this forward momentum keeps going once we get beyond when the new seeds have sprouted and their fruit begins to be harvested.
As of now, there is a drive to keep the drive going and expansion to all of the WDW parks is park of the plan. More Pandora is something that could happen.
The 1982 EPCOT idealist in me hopes that once the guaranteed huge headliners in the construction pipeline open and the massive crowds are drawn to the resort and Disney can't find enough space to store all the money they are going to be making they will remember that expansion is what fueled the growth in the 80's and into the 90's.
The post 2001 realist in me fears that once the huge crowds flock into the resort, Disney will remember that they can do next to nothing and people will still show up and they will return to their miserly ways.
That's why I tend to try to keep my head in the comfort zone between the 1982 optimist that thought anything was possible in Orlando with Disney Magic and the me of today that still wonders how they can still sell the impression of classic Disney Parks level of quality to people even though it rarely is on display. Personally, I don't get excited for much of anything I hear anymore until I see bulldozers in motion.
For now... the plate is pretty full until around 2022. Beyond that, we're in blue sky territory.
