where has there been any confirmation that 1) they acknowledge things needs to be fixed / course corrected, and 2 ) they’re doing so in DL?

Over on the DL side (supposedly):

Unfortunately, no, but I *can't* confirm that fully just yet. I know there was a strong group that basically petitioned to keep a few of the original America Sings figures for the redo but only at Disneyland, because there was such a strong history associated with them. However I believe the Creative Directors won out, due to budgetary and maintenance concerns, and we shouldn't see them when Disneyland's opens later this year. However I can confirm that WDI is reassessing the attraction in Anaheim after seeing the reception online (Yes they are very much aware about what goes on online) an emergency meeting was held with the project team at 1401 a few days ago.

The easiest thing to do with spread out the animals in bands a little bit and tighten up the dialogue

The story isn’t inherently bad, it’s just I’ll presented

The staging of the ride is part of the problem which I guess they could be able to fix somewhat over at Disneyland. One solution would be more figures to fill in the blanker spots, another is to deal with all those spots where it seems like figures are posed waiting for the logs to come past and trigger some dialogue. Perhaps the two are somewhat related in that your eyes might not immediately be drawn to the Tiana or Louis up ahead if they weren't spotlighted alone in the darkness, but you instead had other things to draw your attention. It would also help if they looked more as though they were doing something before they addressed the log. Again, though, maybe that all resolves if you zip by more quickly.

Not sure what they could do for WDW without taking the attraction down for an extended period, which they're not going to do.

Is it doable to re-work the laughing place & emptier portions of the attraction? Is this on the table at all? Or any improvements coming to WDW?

I have to say, the title of the review from Blog Mickey is pathetic. Very sad to see the state of things and how low standards have fallen.

Ultimately, people need to come to their own conclusion on this. There were a lot of points in the review that I disagreed with, but I can't say that it wasn't well thought out and comprehensive.

The one takeaway that I got from it was that the author seemed like they were really really really trying to convince themselves to believe their own review.

It's going to be a real shame if the DL version ends up being superior, it'll be like Runaway Railway in CA vs FL. I'm shocked WDI actually rethemed Florida first tbh, I thought they would do CA and then do FL to get a feel of things.

I think a lot of us thought that would've been the smart ting to do but alas what do we know? Again this ride seems very Disneyland centric even their marketing focused on Land the majority of the time.

Let's be honest, it probably will be. Considering Disneyland's is a little shorter, considering the logs cut through the water quicker, and will be able to fill the space a little more with the fewer animatronics they have. I heard from somewhere (I could be entirely wrong) for their version, some of the old America Sings animatroinics might stay to fill in space, but then again, why couldn't they do the same in Florida with the duplicates?

I wouldn't necessarily compare this to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, as we are just comparing the queues here with nearly the same ride-through layout, minus a few changes.

I really think if they just filled the space more and incorporated more of an intimidating ending, fans would have been happy. Who's to say that isn't a change they can't implement in the future? What if there was a Halloween overlay they could put into the ride where Dr. F plays a huge role? I don't think it would be entirely out of the question, and if it turns out to be a wild success, maybe they'll make it a permanent change. A new animatronic or two of Dr. F, and boom. Already it's better.
