The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

It'd different for sure but it grew on me by about the 4th episode. Quickly settled in once I got used to the voices. The animation is typical of today but it works. I'd give it a shot if you have the time. Great stories definitely focused more on humor.

See now this might be a hot take but I think the new show is better than the original there’s actual character arcs! Huey Dewey and Louie have different personalities! Webby isn’t just the girl! Now I am not saying the original is bad but I do prefer the new one of course I saw the reboot first so maybe I’m just viewing it though the wrong lens

Would've preferred they call it a rest stop if they weren't going to add more flowers beyond the ones by the trellis.

Perhaps they will. Disney seems to be normalizing the practice of completing projects after their public debut, so we may yet see some finishing touches.

So I have a question does anyone know what the deal with the bat in the birdcage is? It appears randomly in 2023 is taken away and doesn’t come back until 2025 what the heck happened here?

It’s been in the hallway since Mansion returned in holiday form last year.

Oh I thought it didn’t come back until they were done with the big refurbishment

Translation from Disney legalese: We didn’t make any money off it and you did, so f*ck you, you’re fired.

Or more likely, had he asked permission and gone through the proper channels he would have likely been able to publish the book AND still keep his job. Or at the very least he would have been told no, and would have been able to quit and still publish. Either way he didn't go through the proper channels.

I would imagine also there is places in the contract where its says CMs are not allowed to use the job to enrich themselves outside of the job. Its just like as far as I'm aware character performers cannot accept side jobs portraying the Disney characters just because that is what their main job is. I think I remember stories about few Tink performers from both DL and WDW got fired for that.

Took this over 10 years ago and it just popped up on my phone. Not sure why I’m sharing this other than the fact it reminds me of the kind of Polaroid pictures I’d find in one of my parents brown leather photos albums that opened up like an accordion. Also a reminder to take weird pictures. Everyone takes the same pictures from the same vantage points. There’s really no good reason for this shot but it’s the kind of picture that isn’t typically taken so when something inevitably gets changed or renovated you have a cool reminder of what once was.

Photos like this are definitely a lost art. It captures the vibe perfectly. I find that social media has driven me to take more aesthetic pictures.

 

[Phroobar]

I take pictures like that all the time. It's more for the mood and setting. My son gets upset at me thinking I'm taking pictures of some stranger when in fact its the overall event or setting that I'm more interested in. I always erase additional people that are in the way with my phone and delete a lot of garbage pictures.

With seemingly no permits in sight to hint on a breaking ground date for the EGW, is it possible they hit a snag with something and its been delayed? With Avatar supposedly slated to open in 2029 alongside part 4, they would have to start on this parking structure soon if we are looking at a 18 month construction window. Or is it possible Avatar will be pushed back to 2030?

From the moment D’amaro made his announcements at D23 I always thought Villains Land and Pandora being completed by 2029 sounded unrealistic. The rest of the announcements like they could realistically be completed by then.

From Disneys perspective it would be smart to delay villains to 2031 for Disney worlds 60th birthday they get 2 press cycles 1 for cars and 1 for villains and then at d23 2032 they can say since villains was such a success we have decided to finally build new Tomorrowland!

I also mentioned this when it was first announced. I’m changing my name to Disney Parks Nostradamus and that’s that. Just waiting for Facilier to be brought to TBA as part of a Halloween overlay and I’ll go ahead and make the profile name change.

I don’t think you can change your name on here the picture you can change but not your name at least that’s what I read when I first signed up

You can unless things have changed. People used to change their name all the time. For example Endorsightseer became George Lucas on a Bench among other names I believe. Where is that guy? He was good times. lol. A little unhinged though - hope he’s ok. Loved his vlog series

Yeah, Disney Youtuber OG55 said he thinks D'amaro got in over his head when he said everything at D23 2024 would be done in 5 years time. But in their defense, it sounds like Cars and Villains will get dirt moving in March since the permitting snag for that got sorted out, and maybe there is a plan to build the EGW in a way where some other temporary bus hub setup to take HL down and work on it alongside the EGW.

Technically what he said was “everything will start to come to life over the next 5 years”
