News Tomorrowland love

[brb1006]

I really love how Disneyland's Fantasyland actually looks more attractive and really lived up to it's name since it's redesign in 1983.

Here's a video of the dedication ceremony of New Fantasyland opening from 1983.

I hope Bob Chapek gets ousted

I doubt they see him as a failure at this point, unfortunately (and I hope no one took my post as a defense of Uncle $$$). No one lasts forever though ... although Iger somehow keeps hanging on ...

To think it's 35 years later and WDW STILL has not followed suit.

I absolutely LOVE the back alley of NFL from Storybook Circus past Mermaid and towards Gaston's. It feels like how DisneySea looks. If all of Fantasyland was like that (with the addition of many quality attractions) it'd be the best land in WDW, and I'm saying that as someone who has 4 Pandora posters on their walls.

That I don’t know. I’m only aware of the physical design direction.

Hope not. I love that loop.

Hope not. I love that loop.

Me too, it’s one of my favorites in WDW. However, during my past few visits I haven’t really been able to hear it. Sometimes it’s because the dance party stage thing is playing music way too loud, and sometimes the bgm itself is just too quiet to hear.

My last trip in April, I heard it quite a bit. But then I avoided the area during the dance parties.

I could live with the Tokyo version.

My only complaint about Disneyland's Fantasyland is that the queues are tight, and they should be expanded somehow.

Disney’s classic characters are their biggest IP so it seems amazing to me that we’re getting a Guardians ride but the likes of BatB, Lion King and Aladdin aren’t properly represented with rides. Fantasyland feels like a big waste to me in Florida. Even Disneyland lacks the kind of big ride Tokyo have in Pooh and soon BatB.

Also they didn't get rid of there rides for meet & greets.

Any idea if Laugh Floor will still get a new typography? (like it did on that temporary sign)

It's really clashing with the 70s sign now

This is my problem with the sign. It's 00s design being shoehorned into 70s design. And it doesn't work.

But hey, yay nostalgia.

Snow White's Scary Adventures was indeed replaced by a meet and greet in Magic Kingdom.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

You assume they had a decade to get it right.

Did they ever fix that problem at WDW, Martin?

Load less into the preshow. Come 1980 it was a moot point.

BatB has a whole mini land in NFL with Enchates Tales and Be Our Guest and Lion King has its own show at AK and Aladdin has the flying carpets in Adventureland.

Not big E tickets, but they are represented in the parks.

Yesterday and Saturday, Stitch wasn't meeting people, and I saw many cast members going in and out of the old theaters. Is something happening now?

There's arguably a difference between "represented", which is what you detailed, and "properly represented", which Disney has done a poor job of doing. An old show, a spinner, a restaurant, and a glorified M&G are not exactly what many would consider proper treatment of movies that became instant classics and revitalized Disney Feature Animation in the early 90's.

The “old show” is the best show that WDW offers band the restaurant is the best one at MK.

Not to mention the France pavilion is getting the BatB sing-a-long. But you guys won’t like that since Epcot can’t have any IP’s.

There’s many reasons not to like it. To say Epcot can’t have any IP’s is a gross over simplification of the problem.

I really think management should provide Root Cause Analysis of decisions they have made over the last 15 to 20 years. Lets get down to the who in all of this mess.
