It's actually decently concealed from within former Future World, though that might change when/if the connection to PLAY! is restored. On the other hand, it's very obvious when looking back toward World Discovery from the World Showcase, when riding the monorail, or when parking.I’m a glasses wearer but I must need to get my eyes tested because I actually couldn’t see the huge box for Guardians from within the park, I had to really look
Anybody else find Universal's social media tack to be a total turnoff?Ummm is this a Disney dig lokView attachment 666255
Hey now, that's not just some big random box.I actually think it’s more beautiful than the big random box sitting over at Epcot but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Well that opinion varies as many feel like it was perfectly incorporated into an abandoned area of the park. The coaster only goes over people in the waterfront and barely by three broomsticks, both lands are hardly impacted from within. If one thinks it’s ugly I can’t argue with opinion but they really did a great job incorporating this ride. If one’s concern is the impact on the lands of Jurrasic and Potter though, that’s odd as it hardly does.I certainly have a problem with the boxes, but I'm never going to find beauty in an exposed coaster that towers over what would otherwise be a well-themed area. That it diminishes recent improvements by encroaching on the Three Broomsticks is even worse.
In World Showcase it’s bad, especially when people take scenic pictures. But not bad from former Future World. At least Soarin has some stuff going around it to blend in, this one stand in its own.I’m a glasses wearer but I must need to get my eyes tested because I actually couldn’t see the huge box for Guardians from within the park, I had to really look

Like, I get what they're doing, and Disney certainly deserves to be called out on a lot of their stuff, but I feel like it's just such a bad look for them. It reeks of desperation. If your parks are so great why are you always talking about the guys down the street?
It's a response to TDOs arrogance and years of trying to say the Disney way is the only way.Anybody else find Universal's social media tack to be a total turnoff?

Many times they hit the mark, many times it does seem childish.Nope. I think it's fantastic the way they call Disney on their BS but it's often in a way only fans will appreciate as being the dig it really is.
I’m glad they packaged Spaceship Earth with care. It really is a gem!Hey now, that's not just some big random box.
That's the box Spaceship Earth came in.
Think they'll throw a giant ribbon on it for the Christmas overlay?

Yup - I find it very off-putting.Anybody else find Universal's social media tack to be a total turnoff?

Yeah, but getting people like me buzzing about how off-putting they are isn't nearly as productive as just, like, trying to actually get me excited about going to their park.It's a response to TDOs arrogance and years of trying to say the Disney way is the only way.
Social media is to create buzz not set policy and here you are buzzing
Probably shouldn't read Wendy's twitter then.Anybody else find Universal's social media tack to be a total turnoff?

Wendy’s comes off as a sassy, sarcastic parody. Universal comes off as the corporate personification of an earnest edgelord tween.Probably shouldn't read Wendy's twitter then.
pretty much. it comes off super cringey to me as wellWendy’s comes off as a sassy, sarcastic parody. Universal comes off as the corporate personification of an earnest edgelord tween.
Not sure I have the same feelings as you do. Where they obviously throwing a lil shade at WDW? Sure was. Was it horrible? Nah. A little shade never hurt anyone.Wendy’s comes off as a sassy, sarcastic parody. Universal comes off as the corporate personification of an earnest edgelord tween.
It’s shade devoid of the requisite tinge of self-awareness. Wendy’s is generally making as much fun of itself as anyone else; Universal, not so much.Not sure I have the same feelings as you do.

We booked our trip in December 2021 for this coming November - purposefully for the 50th. At first, I was so thrilled with everything they announced - Mickey and Minnie in new outfits, the gold statues, weird fizzle sparkler character heads to add to your drinks, castle overlay - and the thought of both Tron AND Moana journey of water being completed way ahead of our trip - now I’m feeling completely duped lol. The 50th seems like nothing special and if anything, I’m sitting here wishing I could cancel.
We are Nov 27th - Dec 3rd. I thought we had a shot too. Oh well.Our trip is 11/29-12/7 and I really thought Tron would be available by then, but alas. I have never been to Disney before the opening of a major attraction, so I was not sure if Disney did random sneak peeks before official opening. Though with Spring being a few months past Holidays, that's a tad too early for sneaks. Guess that answer is no!
Nah, that's not really the same.Probably shouldn't read Wendy's twitter then.
