Tiana is throwing a party at her home for the city of New Orleans - Tiana's Foods is catering.
I mean, it's a Cork Board.
What should it look like?

The things posted on the board could (and should) look a lot better than they do.
What we can finally see with our own eyes today, is nothing short of a travesty.
Disney can’t hide behind their crap co-op storyline nonsense to confuse everyone.
We can see it and it’s BAD.
The Tokyo version should absolutely be preserved.
I think we will see more and more Stateside Disney fans traveling to Tokyo, as the parks here continue their descent into mediocrity.

I tried watching his video but he has his own music overlayed on top of the actual audio in the ride. Probably for copyright or something. I finally had to quit watching. Was hoping for another 3rd party video. This ain't it.

Yeah, most of what's on that board is wildly anachronistic.

The graphics of the stuff "posted" on the board are not in keeping with the time period they are trying (failing) to invoke.

I'm really confused about the soundtrack.... Disney released a whole video and multiple press releases gassing themselves up about all the new music, how it was so well thought-out for the "storytelling" and "immersion," etc.
All of this great new music must be in the queue or something, because the integration of songs in the ride itself feels thoughtless. If they really wanted to use "Gonna Take You There," they could've recorded a new version instead of having it sung by a dead character. Maybe they could've even added some new plot-relevant lyrics, like Splash did for "How Do You Do."
"Special Spice" sounds like it was written before the reported shift from the secret ingredient plot to the critter band stuff, it really has no connection to the ride as-is. And why is it proceeded by an instrumental version of "Almost There"? Speaking of "Almost There," why is the sung-through movie version played in a scene where Tiana isn't even present? Is the music supposed to be diegetic or not??? AHHHHHHH

Over the last few years Disney’s pushed more than a few subpar projects direct to streaming.

I think that yes, some folks were always going to dislike the change. That's what you're up against when you decide to change one of the most incredible and popular theme park attractions ever created. For Disney, the stakes could not have been higher-- and I think not fully appreciating this was their first mistake.
But look back on these boards and elsewhere, and a lot of folks, even many who expressed dislike over the initial decision, transitioned into the "let's wait and see" camp. Let's be fair and give Disney the benefit of the doubt.
Disney then acknowledged the stakes were high and began to tout how incredible the new ride would be, releasing teasers of animatronics and storylines and even admitting Bob Iger wanted improvements and that improvements were being made. Their message: "We understand. Don't worry. We hear you. We've got this."
Perhaps they set expectations too high; perhaps (as many folks have been arguing) they are simply completely out of touch.
The issue is larger than the ride itself at this point. Disney has been responsible for a growing number of recent and massive missteps. Starcruiser, Harmonious, EPCOT's transformation, a lifeless and sterile Star Wars land, disrespecting sight lines, instituting a firm caste system in the form of Genie+, longer lines, higher prices, endless upcharges, confusing apps, needless complications, questionable ride reliability, countless examples of poor show and shoddy maintenance, only one waterpark open at a time, destroying highly themed resort environments by supplanting or replacing incredibly themed architecture with bland and generic construction, a botched tile job in Morocco, a DJ in the train station at the MK... the list goes on.
So with TBA, the stakes could not have been higher and the consensus is mixed at best. To respond by simply calling a thread "miserable" tracks with the growing effort on these boards to dismiss negativity as whining, or hyperbole, or expressing a lack of imagination.
Read the criticisms in this thread. Yep, some are driven by an agenda, but the *vast* majority are basing their opinions on solid criticism and have expressed those criticisms in specific and constructive terms.
A miserable thread is what you get when the stakes are unbelievably high and you manage to overpromise and underdeliver.
It's not just TBA. A lot of folks, lifetime fans and paying customers who invested financially and emotionally in a brand that charges a lot but promises even more... have reached the end of their patience. And it shows.

I saw an animatronic in the Laughin Place that we hadn't seen before. Now we're up to 45!!

But they are in keeping with the stylings of the film. That seems like a reasonable choice:

I dont understand this either, why is that not a fun zippy instrumental specifically designed for the ride through that area...they just slapped the film soundtrack song through there and called it a day.

That may be, but if I'm not mistaken, they are trying to transport you back to New Orleans in the 20s, not take you into the film. Therefore, the graphics should be reflective of how flyers would look back then.

I’ve rekindled my participation in Disney forums recently after several years.
This is NOT a hyper positive Disney forum. This place is full of Disney downers. At least it’s entertaining though.
I go to a different forum if I want positivity.

Perhaps the central flyer, but the rest? What about the “Free Cooking Classes” ad?

That's exactly the one that I was going to point out as really bad, although the Beignet Wednesdays is very off as well.
The ride is full of shoehorned in modern terms and phrases that you’d hear in Corporate board room or marketing team or HR meeting. Nothing even remotely authentic.
