But that also illustrates the need: people have a lot of options in close proximity for DL, so the park has more options of (arguably) better quality to keep people from choosing non-Disney places to eat. MK is a hassle to get to and leave and has a more captive audience.
(Not arguing that it's "right" just mentioning why there is less motivation for TDO to do something about it)

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
Yes, and it’s such a bummer. The food is unmistakably better and cheaper in California (not right now, the menus there right now are even more limited than the ones at WDW, but rather pre-covid), and it wasn’t long ago the food was better in Orlando.
Anyhoo, Tron looks cool.

The places I was referring to are Disney places... unless we aren’t counting 3rd parties on Disney property but that’s throwing quite a lot out.

Universal benefits from this as well. The food inside their parks is almost uniformly awful (I've heard there are a few exceptions, but every meal we ate in the parks was atrocious), but you can just walk out of the front gate and eat at CityWalk which has plenty of decent options. Epic Universe won't have that, though, so they may have to step up their food quality when it opens.
There's as much (and probably more) solid food at Disney Springs as at CityWalk, but going to Disney Springs from one of the parks is a much bigger commitment/time sink.

Isn’t Epic Universe getting its own (smaller) entertainment district?
Not that we should continue along this tangent.

No idea -- that would make sense, though. Probably a good idea.

Tear down the horrendous arcade/ store monstrosity

I fully support getting rid of the arcade. We don't need this many gift shops. I'd like the Space Mountain exit to return to its original design.

With a speedramp. Yes please.

I think that Speedramp is great idea for Tron: Lightcycle run entrance!

It looks like (depending on how big it ends up being) this building might end up blocking some of the views of the big box. Hopefully this building is more themed

If you match it up with Shanghai's version there's definitely a structure (circled in red) that they have that WDW doesn't but WDW also doesn't have the space for that structure either. So maybe its just a smaller version of it being built here?

The building in Shanghai is the post show building. That’s not coming to the US and the pad is a lot smaller.

Yeah. That’s the corner that I always thought would be a good spot for a bunch of taller trees to block the show building from the most egregious in park views (from the pathway and circus area). A themed building works too. Still wouldn’t be great but would help by putting more visually interesting in the foreground

Might be wrong here but pretty sure that’s a private lounge for the corporate sponsor of Tron at Shanghai. Which is Chevrolet, I know for sure they have a meeting space in the attraction.
