One of our biggest complaints on Fantasyland type rides lately has been the book report approach.That is my issue exactly... I liked the film and characters... I don't need a whole new story into a character that (could have) evolved after story we love... Just like other classic Disney film characters...I don't need a sequel to know what happened afterwards...The idea of being in the bayou and having Dr Facilier send you over the water to the "Other Side" or escaping the "Other Side" over a waterfall sounds like an amazing attraction to me... Ending at Tiana's Palace is great too...but all this gobbledygook they have created does not make sense to me...
You need a story other than the film for the ride to be enjoyable?One of our biggest complaints on Fantasyland type rides lately has been the book report approach.
I agree with literally every word of this.He’s my favorite character in the film. I’d rather they drop Naveen. Tiana can do better than that duckboy.
The Other Side would’ve looked fabulous in dark light replacing the Laughin’ Place…
I think the bigger problem with the idea of going with “here’s what happens after the movie” rather than a more evocative book report approach is that, with very few exceptions, the sequels to Walt Disney Animation Studios productions are pretty terrible
I don’t think we are coming up with ideas they didn’t also discuss. They just ended up where they are because of numerous constraints on the project.Why is it so many of us can come up with better stories for Tiana's Adventure than the Imagineers themselves?
Because we do it out of the love for Disney…they do it for a paycheck and a paycheck ONLYWhy is it so many of us can come up with better stories for Tiana's Adventure than the Imagineers themselves?
The gist of itBecause we do it out of the love for Disney…they do it for a paycheck and a paycheck ONLY
Because we aren't mandated to tie it into a D+ series that already has a premise the ride needs to work with?Why is it so many of us can come up with better stories for Tiana's Adventure than the Imagineers themselves?
This is extremely insulting to people who work in this industry. I'm sure there are a few exceptions whom this statement would actually apply to, but I doubt many of the people pursuing a job at WDI are doing it just "for the paycheck." Many of these folks are truly passionate about the work they do. It is not the fault of the creatives for literally doing their jobs when unfair mandates are placed onto them by people higher up on the corporate ladder.Because we do it out of the love for Disney…they do it for a paycheck and a paycheck ONLY

I’m not sure why people are intent on framing Facilier’s absence in ideological terms. The ride takes place after the movie, by which point Facilier has been carried off to the underworld. You wouldn’t expect to see Ursula or Maleficent in rides set after the events of the two movies to which those characters belong. (For my part, I would love for Facilier to make an appearance in spirit form, but I’m not holding my breath.)
We last saw him being overpowered and carried off by spirits, after which his tombstone appears. I'm not sure how he would get out of that one.Why even spirit form? In a magical/fantasy setting, it’s not uncommon for characters sent to the great beyond to come back in the flesh.
He’s got friends on the other side.We last saw him being overpowered and carried off by spirits, after which his tombstone appears. I'm not sure how he would get out of that one.
