Team Disney Orlando.I have a question, I know the acronym WDI stands for Walt Disney Imagineering but what does TDO stand for?
A closer look at the redressed Fed-Ex work station...

But....Where did that come in the ride itself? Preshow/Postshow is great, I admit, but this thing is to be ridden, after all.I know this is less than what we were originally slated to get, and that we deserve more. I know that TDO is cheap. I know that it still is a junior to DL and DLP. I know that these kind of changes could be done on 3rd shift in a perfect Disney universe.
But for what the project was scaled back to, I'm very happy with what we got.
My biggest fear (that was profulgated by some) was that we would get essential track maintenance and cleaning only, without any substantial additions/improvements to show elements. Thankfully, that was not the case.
Plus, it appears they preserved the great music too.
So I would like to reiterate that I refuse to feel guilty about discussing the changes and enjoying the awesome pics and reports from our colleagues.

Oooh.
I'm liking how they added in the new pics, and with lime and blue, of course.
MK-1 is great, too.
Does WDW get less attention than Disneyland because the top Disney executives are located in California and see Disneyland more?

It's funny to hear you whine and complain between your praising and compliments. Here is how it looks in smiley form...

That's what wasn't done, obviously. :shrug:
Disney hates APs because they LOSE money on them. Rather than buy a new park ticket everytime they come, or stay in a resort, they just waltz right on in. Sure they'll buy food and souvineers, but they still don't bring in as much money as non-APs do.
It shouldn't be about a competition of SM's....wouldn't it be kinda boring if they were clones of each other? What it should be about is appreciating each one as they are....unique to each park. Now WDW has one that has been dusted off and made fresh again.![]()
After 9 pages of posts (for me with 30 or 60 per page), most people seem to love the pre and post shows and what was done there. I'm included.
So far, no one's really said anything about the actual ride portion itself other than it's darker.
Does this some it up?
While I'm glad that so much went into the pre/post shows, I wish a bit more would have gone to the actual ride portion.
I'll judge for myself next week.
I used to think that way, but the new AP deal to add three extra months has made me change my mind. Why would Disney offer an incentive to buy an AP if they "hate" us?
Also, most DVC members are also AP holders. And I would say spending tens of thousands of dollars makes them more valuable than any non-AP. (As someone else posted, DVC members have the potential to become the East Coast version of the influential West Coast AP'er.)
But WDW has chosen to spend its "new" money on truly "new" attractions like the FL Expansion (And, it is important to point out, DL is now finally doing the same, spending money on its first new attractions - like Carsland and Mermaid- rather than more rehabs)
