In about five years or so there will be more Disney castle parks in Asia than the other 6 continents combined.

Is that when Abu Dhabi's predicted to come? I imagine the company would split the parks differently within their portfolio (2 resorts in NA, 2 in EMEA, and 3 in APAC, with a 6/3/4 park split when Abu Dhabi opens).

And who knows, it might not even be a castle park when all is said and done. The concept art felt a bit more like Ahtohallan meets Arrival haha

So it’s no surprise that smoking in this country has gone way down. In the 80s there was cigarette smoke everywhere. I used to choke on my grandpas cigarette smoke when riding in his car with his window barely cracked. Apparently alcohol consumption is at an all time low in the USA. So what replaced these things? Social Media, video games, theme park annual passes, marijuana? Perhaps sheds a new light on the “Disney adult” phenomenon.

I think many do drink less now, due to health concerns and changing health advice. But I also wonder if it’s an affordability thing. Alcohol is certainly something many can go without when the finances are tight.

Sure. So is Disneyland but that’s not stopping anybody! Haha

I think so but I might be making that up.

Well the concept are shows a castle so I assumed but I guess anything is possible.

If I had to pick, I'd certainly cut out drinking to afford Disneyland
