The American Adventure closing for refurbishment

[Animaniac93-98]

I know. But poor management decisions have reduced the alternatives.

Happy 40th anniversary!

In all seriousness, I think it is good AA is getting a proper refurb and staying in EPCOT. Maybe the animatronics can get an upgrade?

I got a sneaking suspicion that this isn't a proper refurb. Proper refurb's in the past have been scheduled way in advance, not with 11 days notice.

This smells of either something broke or is about to break and the replacement part will be delivered in a week and a half.

Watch them put more diversity into the show. Probably the movie at the end, because it is cheap to copy and paste.

They should! The show rings hollow for me when America is a melting pot of people and cultures something about the show should actually show that off, and what easier way than the ending montage.

It’s always had some diversity, Chief Joseph and Frederick Douglas have a major part.

What the heck am I supposed to do in WS now?
I can't see Canada and now AA is going to be closed. I guess IDF exists but its' schedule sucks.

What a joke.

What the Mouse wants in World Showcase for you to do is keep spending more money ( ie Food and Wine ).

Hope this 1/4 trillion dollar company can find some time to get lance armstrong out of the ending video.

FYI, Lance was excised from the concluding montage in 2018... that's the last time it was updated, I believe.

I’ll miss it on my next trip in several weeks but it’s in dire need of one. The AAs need a lot of work. And why do I have this feeling they’ll update the Golden Dream ending again?

Going in to refurbishment on the day we were visiting EPCOT!

I would but this trip is mainly to see friends. Our 3 times a year trips are being reduced to 1 and instead of 6 nights, it's going to be 4 nights. It's not zero but it's a noticeable reduction in trips. The parks have gotten way less of my money in the past 2 years too.

Should have Grand Canyon and Dollywood next year hopefully. Potentially Cedar Point if I can round up the group for it.

sadly I think this is the new normal for us hard cores.

hopefully the lack of trips for us will start to show in the bottom line. I bet merch and food sales will take the first hit... especially at the festivals.

Breaking NEWS- During the day, half of AmAd will be turned into the greatest festival center (sponsored by bud light) and the other half will be campaign fundraisers (sponsored by the DNC on Sundays-Tuesday and the RNC on Wednesday - Friday. Saturday is reserved for Kanye.).... This is going to be great, just wait until you see the special cupcakes!!!! But don't you worry AmAd fans - AmAd will return with a once a night performance at the same time as IDF or during Harmonious! TBD See ya real soon!

The decision to close Canada F&W for 4 months of the year still baffles me.

Yes but now the space makes money selling things like Beer and Poutine.. Projectors cost $$$$$$ and don't charge a fee... they really just can't compete.

Dollywood

I went to Dollywood for the first time this past June, and it honestly reminded me of old-school Disney. They're doing so many things right in that park its incredible. Also, the crowds aren't nearly as bad! I cannot recommend enough.

Won't be surprised to see yet an umpteenth butchered updated version of Golden Dreams yet again....

 

[vikescaper]

Is this enough time to add Disney characters to all of the scenes?

The merch is pretty bad at this point. Aside from the Epcot collection and the MK throwback stuff, it's all bleh. Even then, I haven't actually bought anything for myself except a few pins.

Performed by Olivia Rodrigo?!?!

So IDF is virtually impossible to see, O‘Canada is evicted, and AmAd is closing at the same time.

Brilliant.

Come on, dude…no IP. You know what “sells”

Hope this 1/4 trillion dollar company can find some time to get lance armstrong out of the ending video.

Yeah…that…and perhaps not acting is though Beyoncé will last through the generations
