I swear I said that WoL was being refurbished for automated festival booths purely in jest!!!

I still want a Weather Pavilion with a indoor tornado centerpiece similar to the one they have out here at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago...
How I miss the Disney that would have considered building a weather pavilion...

That’s a pretty low level posting. Three years experience is not much in the AEC industry.

Well, the interor had a vibe of looking like a dead mall struggling to survive..

Those job executions in modern WDW do feel like Disney hires mall store and restaurant designers and decorators, rather than people with movie or themed environment backgrounds.

The job posting, titled “Interior Designer – EC Wonder of Life,” is seeking candidates that have commercial design experience, primarily in the Retail or Hospitality sectors, and a minimum of 3 years of experience at Walt Disney Imagineering or another architecture or interior design firm. The candidate must also have an understanding of construction details, “particularly casework detailing,” according to the posting.
One of the main responsibilities of the job is the “design and production of a shop/restaurant or attraction” under the direction of a Senior or Principal Interior Designer.
Additional responsibilities of the job include the development of varied Interior Design project work at all stages of assigned projects from concept, feasibility or schematic design, through the preparation of construction documentation in accordance with established departmental and divisional quality standards. The candidate will also support the implementation of the design intent as a member of the project design team, and ensure that the interior design intent is achieved by successfully integrating design with allied disciplines, such as architecture, lighting, graphics, structural engineering, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing.

Only way we can ever hope for a Weather Pavilion is if Pixar comes out with a full feature about weather. Wait... weather has feelings right? Let’s make a movie about those feelings.
Guardians of the Galaxy preview center?
And Gift shop of course.

Weather might, but TWDC no longer does.

Bob does know he is sitting on at least five other ~billion dollar underutilized franchises developed under his regime, right?
Zootopia, Jungle Book, soon to be Lion King revival, Alice in Wonderland and Inside Out bringing up the the rear.
Let’s come back to Disney’s billion dollar buy out of the Marvel contract once they actually bother using the tools they do own.
Not to mention the 20 other franchises deemed valuable enough to get live action sequels or even animated sequels (Incredibles, Wreck it Ralph) that make zero appearance at WDW. Or that whole DCA area we are stiiiiiiillllllllllll waiting on.

They used Jungle Book in that horrendous Rivers of Light replacement show when they couldn't get it to work initially, I hear a similiar type show will act either as an additional segment or be temporary replacement of RoL for few months with Lion King for WDW summer '19 promotion. Alice in Wonderland got a very successful night time entertainment at DCA and nice looking Victorian maze in SDL. Zootopia is still scheduled to come to DAK - yes its wrong, but fake 'animals' are cheaper than real ones. Wreck it Ralph and Incredibles if they can become $1 billion franchises more effort will be put into trying to get an attraction out of those.

Sorry I was more talking about current underutilization specific to WDW. All the things they could use apart from the one franchise they cannot.

Sorry but if we are talking about IP utilization it tends to be $1billion films that sells a ton of merch to get an attraction.

In some cases billion dollar franchises that didn't really move merch (Avatar).
This is completely obfuscating the point with semantics that current leadership does not care about WDW enough to spend hundreds+ millions of dollars so they can insert one franchise that's in its fifth week in theatres. No matter how well it is doing. They just don't operate like that.
The magical thinking that a Universal contract buyout is looming needs to be shut down. They quite literally have >20 other viable properties to mine first, which they still are seemingly not doing yet.

The current leadership does not care about adding a Sword in Stone, Mulan, Hercules, Tarzan, Jungle Book, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Tangled, etc C/D ticket. They would prefer it to be a Star Wars, Pixar, Indy, Marvel based where possible in O-Town.
There are many things that Comcast would like I'm sure they would like Blue Sky Animation, Family Guy, Bobs Burger and a majority control of Hulu and probs around $50billion. Money talks and like Ted DiBiase used to say everyone has a price. This isn't something that will happen this decade or next. It will be an Oswald like thing our grand kids will tell us whilst we are in the terminal phase of our life.

There was a door in Pixar Place that said, Nelson and Murdock. I would think that's in the same vein of putting Wakandan tech and references in an area without Black Panther.

The logic of buying out the contract with Uni would not be for Disney to add another property, but to take one out of Uni's pocket. IoA is HP and Marvel and if they had to retheme Marvel I'm not sure they have a property big enough to replace it.
