It will be all those things. It better not have princesses.
Speaking of Disney Princesses....why does Princess Tiger Lilly get the cold shoulder? Probably not marketable enough to make $$$ for the company.

This is something we call reality, the reality of running a business, something I seemingly am reminded of by our PRO-BIG BUSINESS cabal every time I get into a serious discussion here.
You were disappointed in KRR? Awe. So was I. Such is life. WDW is a business after all.
Nothing ever gets built as seen in the artwork.
I agree with your line of thinking. However, you don't need to use it to determine my magic plus is a disaster. I have used the magic bands and I like them (a whole lot actually). They aren't a lone reason to go back to WDW but for me they enhanced my vacation and I enjoyed FP+ too (though I can see why others have a problem with the 3 reservation limit). Despite those positive reviews it's still a disaster because of the opportunity cost on the money spent. $1B could have gone a long way to restoring WDW to highest quality. They could have invested in huge transportation and park infrastructure and ride refurbs. They could have greenlit a DCA 2.0 like rebuild at DHS. Instead we got magic bands. Now add to that the rumors that cost overruns are leading to a spending freeze on new projects and it's officially a train wreck. Even if those rumors are false or highly exaggerated it's still a bit of a disaster in my mind.which again for the most part is your perspective on avatar..obviously it was popular for many reasons but people will spin it to fit their ideas and opinions, which is fine that's what this board is for
in terms of the magic bands in your opinion are a huge disaster..ill admit im not thrilled about them but I haven't tried them out yet either (I will in June)
but both paragraphs are primarily how you feel
There are quite a few "unofficial princesses" that get the cold shoulder.
And Queens. Dont forget all the Queens that get ignored.
I'm now 100% curious to see what you think is the best looking Disney stateside park....
If i have to compare them
Eisner - Good for Theme Parks
Iger - Good for Film/TV acquisitions
With a few minor exceptions, its Epcot. Sure, the attractions in FW aren't what they used to be, and there's some temporary theming problems, but compared to DAK its great.

Here's a few quick reasons why I don't like DAK:
There's only a couple of pathways to get around the park, and no quick transportation options available anywhere. There's no train circling the park (only the Rafiki's Planet Watch which is cut off from the rest of the park), no boat ride, etc.. The Tree of Life "Hub" doesn't really make things easier to get to the way MK does.
The pathways are too narrow and bumpy in many places, and with the average stroller brigade, it makes it difficult to get around.
Then the parade (which I realize is leaving now) causes massive backups....I worked as a contractor for a few months and when I had to get from the Safari area over to Dinoland...if the parade was going on, it was nigh impossible to move.
There's very few air conditioned places, only a few shops and eateries. In the summer, with the brutal heat and trees everywhere, the humidity seems to be much worse.
It is easy to get lost in the park....since the entire park is just trees, trees, trees everywhere.
The theming, while it is accurate, is far from the idealistic versions you see in the other parks. They're very run down, dilapidated and poor looking. While they are definitely accurate to the source "material" in this sense, it never gives me the positive vibes of the other Disney parks. This is more of a personal preference thing with me, and I realize that a lot of people disagree on that point. I even had a discussion with Eddie Sotto on here once about it.
To me, the park is built on too much authenticity and not enough on accessibilty for the average theme park guest.
I can't speak for him but I would say its dak. Studios has a really bad layout that is worsened by its lack of attractions.
Yuck it up and question me all you want...I don't care...believe what you want to believe but Disney is certainly not just sitting on their hands for future development ideas - enjoy
DCA post 2.0 version has some pretty impressive parts. It also has it's eyesores like Dinorama but I don't think they're as visually offensive. DAK is my favorite stateside park, but don't dismiss how much beautification was done at DCA.Agreed DAK is the best looking (Disney) park Stateside.

Well its clear that Iger never gave much of a damn to the Park zone, except to monetize on whats built and just add the minimum necessary to keep the whole thing afloat.. while he converted Disney into a Media IP megamammoth.In the case of just WDW there really is no comparing the Eisner years to the Iger years. The old times really were better. Remember that under Eisner they added 2 whole parks (or 2 half parks for some people) not to mention 2 water parks and tons of resorts. It really was a remarkable time. The only knock you could make is that in the end of the Eisner era he did begin some of the cost cutting that has accelerated under Iger.
Well, It will also depend if Harry will appear or not.. the appeal of the chars put a lot on the franchise.http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/03/...s-and-where-to-find-them-planned-as-a-trilogy
Personally I think you're talking absolute rubbish but either way this trilogy will be the start of the Potter Expanded Universe. The boy wizard remains as popular as ever and his franchise is about to get a lot bigger.
I think more like "Realism" or Balance between blind optimism and emo levels of pessimism.That is called pessimism.![]()
I wish Iger could try at least defend his magicband, mm+ and fastpass systems.. like explaining that the infrastructure was REALLY required to upgrade the ageing systems of Disney's backbone.. I really wish to believe that.I think most of us are hopeful, but not optimistic because of recent history. We are all Disney fans and want them to knock our socks off. I want to have a reason to want to visit the parks again.
I personally don't think their is a lot of substance with Avatar. Pretty visuals definitely, but it's one movie that really isn't part of popular culture the way Star Wars or even Harry Potter is. I think people would be dancing in the streets if a Star Wars land was announced, but nothing HAS been announced. Any hopes or optimism is just pure speculation at this point and nothing more.
What we do have are MagicBands, Fastpass+, a roller coaster that is taking too long to complete, a not-so-great Little Mermaid ride, double Dumbo, and a restaurant. Oh, and pictures of executives breaking ground on Avatar with hopes that it will be completed within the next decade.
Forgive everyone for not being as optimistic as you. I wish I could be. I want to be. I am rooting for Disney and Imagineering. I want my socks to be blown off! But right now the picture in front of us is bleak. And that's Disney's fault, not the fans.
Why you ask? its always those Bus Drivers! the sneaky drivers!You aren't given sources cause you don't have any... Or is Disney now in the business of feeding B.S. to supposed travel agents?
