What's your Favorite New Addition to the World?

[Pumbas Nakasak]

what a simply wonderful idea for a thread. Its all so magical I have a real struggle to decide what my bestest fave is.

On a whim Ill go with Starbucks, that old baritsa action is a sheer pleasure to watch, and the cups of delicious goodness they produce utterly amazing.

And a brand-new, awesome, fully-articulated Beast costume would be amazing. Little additions like that would help keep BOG from becoming stale.

Beast was supposed to get a facelift some time ago, but he was put on the back burner while the princesses got their new dresses and shoes and their hairs did. Hopefully he'll be roaring onto the scene before long.
My vote, BTW, went to the parade. I'm excited to finally see it in person before too long. Hopefully before maintenance and budget cuts cripple it.

Festival of Fantasy is an awesome addition to Magic Kingdom I haven't planned my day around a 3 o'clock parade in a long time but I will find myself checking out this parade way more often than Celebrate (RIP) lol

So I am sure Be Our Guest is great and all but heck its a restaurant and my kids dont get much out of that nor do I wish to encourage Disney to put its energies into places you have to spend money in to enjoy. I went with Belles Enchanted because its so original and fun, and really a great experience.

We haven't seen the Parade or eaten at BOG, so out the remaining choices I have to say Little Mermaid. We are getting ready for a trip in October so the Bands and FP+ will both be new experiences. Right now I think I like the concept of the Band but I dont like the limitation on the FP+ (3 a day). I hope they will increase it to 4 or 5 by October (If I Dream It It Will Come True, YES!?)

My vote goes to Be Out Guest. I think MK needed a really well themed and magical dining experience. The food is delicious and the decor is breathtaking, love it!

I was unimpressed with the "show and tell" aspect of it at first, but then I visited it again with an enthusiastic crowd of kids and parents. That quite transformed the experience for me. For what it is, it's very damn good.

Why no option for Test Track? Sure it was just a refurb of the old version, but it's a lot different than it was before.

I voted for the Tangled Restrooms, not even being snarky about it.

It's a beautiful rest area, it provides an important intermediary themed space in a place where it was needed, and its mere existence reminds me of a time when Disney built incredible things not when they needed to, but because they could. It even has its own really nice unique BGM loop!

And yes, I understand it was originally a meet-and-greet spot that got scaled back, but still.

I voted for BOG. We were there in June so the new parade (as far as I know) wasn't out yet. Anyway, BOG was one of the highlights of our trip, loved it! The Little Mermaid shell ride was ok... basically the same thing as the Nemo shell ride at EPCOT.

 

[Avenger117]

That is really hard for me. Picking between BOG or the new parade is so tough. I love them both and I haven't even seen the parade in person yet.

I went with Starbucks. The rest of the list is less than stellar and doesn't even interest anyone in my family. Two thirty somethings and two boys under 10.

The parade juuuuust inched past the bathrooms because of the awesome theming. It’s such a relaxing area with lots of little details that Disney didn’t have to do—Pascal hiding in the trees, equipment to charge phones, etc.

I really love the story time experience with Belle. It's just such a unique attraction. In all fairness, though, I haven't seen the parade yet. So, who knows?? Maybe that will take the lead once I get the chance to see it

 

[Matt and Kelly]

I have yet to actually see any of the new additions in person, though I am very much looking forward to being there in September and seeing all the new feature for myself.

That said, I selected the magic bands. Having the room booked and planning the colours, ADR's, eventually FP+ has really made me excited for the trip which is still so far away!

 

[CheshireCat12]

Be Our Guest. Its truly incredible. Magic Bands are second. I don't remember Spice Road. What is that?

Spice Road Table- new Mediterranean tapas-style restaurant at Epcot (Morocco)- I really liked it a lot but it is expensive for the amount of food you get. Almost voted for it, but I too voted for MagicBands/FP+. It was so convenient and easy to use, and I liked not running for fastpasses like mad.

Ahh no wonder I didn't know what it was! And yes Fastpass+ is so convenient!!!

there were limited spaces in the poll!

I voted BOG, I like Mermaid , but ..... I think it is awesome I can have a steak, and BEER, for dinner at MK! I have been there twice already, and have res. for Sept 20th. My wife doesn't really care for the food, but it's a must on my list!
