Vague TEST TRACK confirmation from Disney Parks Blog

[WDW1974]

The car (and ride) will stay the same. Each rider will have the opportunity to create their own "concept" and see how it performed when they reach the postshow. RFID will be used for all of this. Not sure if FastPass or Single Riders will have all, if any, of the options yet.

It should be absolutely MAGICal!

Nothing of the old WOL pavilion is the way it used to be. If they were to open this building it would have a different theme and only use the inner theater areas as "attractions."

You mean a pavilion that once held three major attractions, 2-3 minor attractions/exhibits, one QSR and one retail location?

Yeah ... much better to use it as a NEXT GEN lab (assuming that's what they're still doing and I haven't heard differently ... we need to get that Leonard Kinsey dude to sneak into there since THAT would really ________ Disney folks off!) ... and its 'Festival HQ' twice a year for events.

The next DVC to be announced will not be in Epcot. It currently doesn't have a name yet but is going by the title "2010-2012 project." It's just about ready to be announced but I think they are holding off so it doesn't steal thunder from Art of Animation.

We wouldn't want that, would we?

I just so HATE the way the WDW Co is being run. I do not understand how ANY fan can look at things and not see reality (I am not talking first-timers and casual guests).

Timeshares were always a slimey business ... even when Disney got into it, I thought it wasn't where they should be going. But I don't see how 20 years ago when OKW opened how anyone could have envisioned DVC taking over WDW.

That building is mold ridden, heance the reason why the retail spaces in there were closed.

Raven, dude, if those buildings were closed because of mold, they were really closed because of neglect that led to the mold and $$$ that they decided wasn't worth spending for cleaning up.

There is NO excuse for crap like that beyond ________ poor management. And whether that management pays your check or not doesn't change that fact.

~Imagine, mold in Florida?~

Maybe because you look too deep into things. Most guests take vacation at WDW to enjoy themselves, not to analyze it.

That was my point. Maintenence let it go.

Hmm. The #1 tourist destination in the world making more options and space for it's ever-demanding guests. Why would Disney want listen to them?

Just because guests "want" something doesn't necessarily make it a good idea. It's understandable that Disney wants to make money, they are a business but this is a bad idea.

Please. You are sounding like an apologist for TDO.

WDW has four very stale theme parks that have been this way for years. They can't do the smallest of things like rehabs .... new parades ... seasonal entertainment etc ... let alone add large scale, cutting edge immersive family attractions.

They are simply a real estate, timeshare, hotel operation. The parks are ancillary to their real business in Central FLA. People need to put the Pixie Dust pipe down, wake up and smell the pooh.

Disney isn't listening to its guests at all. That actually sounds like a Social Media rep's response, maybe you should look to transfer to the BS Dept at Celebration Place as it likely pays more.:wave:

~The Truth Hurts ... Kinda like sitting on a bicycle and realizing there's no seat!~

It's a 5 or 6 month redo. If they shift it to another time, the Holiday and Easter/Spring Break season would be effected.

Maybe they could use that 40 square miles they like to talk about

Maybe because you look too deep into things. Most guests take vacation at WDW to enjoy themselves, not to analyze it.

You don't have to be a fan of in-depth resort analysis to realize the parks don't add big attractions at the rate that they used to.

That directly influences how often I visit the parks.

But it really has little to do with looking "too deep into things."

(Wouldn't want that, now, would we? Serve up another helping of magical Disney Parks Blog vaguery, please. )

Sounds like you already work there.

Just because YOU don't like the way things are being run around Florida doesn't mean that everyone shares your same thoughts. Yet here you are, day after day, trying to throw your negative ideas into people's heads, all the while hiding while you are online. You've proven to be wrong on many levels aready. It seems like anytime someone has something nice to say on here about WDW you quickly shoot them down.

Weak. I go to WDW to enjoy myself. No one goes as much as I have or spends as much as I have to not. As to analyzing the place, I'd only do so if I were working in a consulting capacity. But I am a trained observer (although one would be blind to not notice how many things are wrong at WDW these days) and I observe plenty that goes against everything Disney always stood for and what it claims it still does. Offering someone crap, but having Hidden Obvious Mickeys and telling them to Have a MAGICal day!!! 963 times a day and handing their kid a bunch of Mickey stickers that are then placed all over and cause physical damage etc. doesn't change that fact.

It doesn't take very deep analytical skills to prove that WDW has been resting on its laurels and doing almost nothing beyond building timeshares (and now McMansions) since the dawn of the 21st century.

They should be embarrassed, but they're proud.

That was my point. Maintenence let it go.

Well, my point is whoever the hell is the EPCOT VP of the month should dip into their budget (I can't even recall who it is since they went through three in two months time!) and get the mold removed and shops opened.

Keeping facilities clean and maintained is a very basic thing in ANY business, let alone Disney's theme park business.

~Wanna be the next EPCOT VP?~

Exactly.

Disney used to be all about giving ALL (or most) guests what they didn't know they wanted ... not pandering to what the LCD think they want or some of Disney's most 'entitled' fans are willing to buy.

~Coming Soon: Disney's Cinderella Castle Villas! Perfect for your little princess whether she's 6 or he's 26!~

I go to WDW...

Nuff said. They still have you coming back. :animwink:

Do they add them at all? At WDW?

The MK hasn't since Splash Mountain. TWO FREAKING DECADES AGO!!!

It is the No. 1 theme park in the world (certainly not in quality, but by vague numbers of turnstile clicks).

And I love the Disney Parks Blog vaguery ... gives me so much material really.
I guess I'm Thomas Smith's biggest fan!:wave:

This is how I feel. I am a big fan of the parks and on these boards everyday, and although I can understand the problems people are pointing out in the parks they really don't impact my enjoyment. The parks are still magical to me and even if the quality has gone down it's still much higher then other amusement/theme parks. I like Hershey park, but when I walk in there I can't help feeling how it pales in comparison to a Disney park. As for rides, as much as I would like to see new attractions I don't go to Disney often enough to get board with the existing ones.

 

[WDW1974]

Really. I am open and honest and don't lie while spinning talking points. So, no, it does not.

Just because YOU don't like the way things are being run around Florida doesn't mean that everyone shares your same thoughts.

Raven, I don't like the way things are being run. And I am far from the only one even here. I think most people have issues with the way WDW is being run, whether they agree with all of my points or not.

As a WDW employee (and let's not play around, they know exactly who you are and what you post), one would assume you can't be entirely upfront here because you'd likely be over at UNI's HR dept looking for work if you did.

Yet here you are, day after day, trying to throw your negative ideas into people's heads, all the while hiding while you are online. You've proven to be wrong on many levels aready. It seems like anytime someone has something nice to say on here about WDW you quickly shoot them down.

I'm not here day after day ... I'm here when I can pop in (although I have no idea what my time here has to do with anything). And I'm putting forth my knowledge and REAL world perspective and trying to get people to simply think. Put away their emotions, put down the pixie dust pipe (if they're addicted) and think about things rationally.

As to 'hiding', I don't quite get that point.

I'm also not really sure what I've proven to be wrong on, although I've never claimed to be right all the time.

And I don't shoot people down when they have nice things to say about WDW, if I feel those things are deserved.

When people try to claim that timeshares in parks are somehow a good thing ... or raft rides on TSI ... or RFID tracking your every move (and Disney using the tech for all sorts of data-mining) ... or defending 1972 era parades ... and seafood resturants that serve almost no seafood etc ... well, you're right, I do try and shoot them down.
