D23: What Do Yuo Want to Hear?

What do I want to be announced?
That they decided to get rid of Fastpass +, they realized they screwed up with raising prices by 25% and only making Galaxy's Edge a large retail outlet for Star Wars stuff.

What do I think they will announce?
More things that really won't fit with me and will reaffirm my belief that it is time to vacation elsewhere.

:P

Yeap.

I'd like to hear they've brought Walt back to life and will be taking the reigns.

That aside, I'm w/ Cindy..

Would they do a 5th park with Star Wars before they have even completed Galaxy's Edge? Wouldn't they have to do legal loopholes in order to use the Marvel characters in Florida?

Even if they opened a 5th gate, I don't think it would be enough to get me excited enough to go back more often. For me, the problem is the system, and the fact that they keep raising the prices so much. It's like they think they are too good for the average Joe.

Did they rebadge everything frozen a few years ago?

Yes, this is me. I had a lot of hope for the new stuff but have found it to be pretty disappointing. That would have been ok if I still had all the old stuff I loved. They are taking that away also though.
I understand that there will be people visiting for the first time who will love all the new stuff or there will be returning guests who are glad that the things they thought were stale are gone. That just isn't how my brain works.

Could you imagine if you walked into Fantasyland and all it had was two rides and a bunch of retail shopping? What if Tomorrowland was only Space Mountain and Monsters Inc?

I don't mind paying extra for quality, but I don't think this is Disney quality any more. I don't think anything they will make in the future will be Disney quality either. The company needs another Renaissance.

Have you heard any internal rumors about a 5th park? I know a lot of fans have speculated on what they would want, but that has always been (as far as I know) unsubstantiated, wishful thinking. With the need to fix the parks they have, I have never given it much thought. However, now they seem to have put some work into or have substantiated plans for the other parks.

Based upon the current crowd levels at the current parks, another gate would be welcomed. I can't imagine how they would staff it and it probably would not be open for another 10 years (at the rate they seem to do construction), but it is nice to think about.

I agree with much of what you are saying. Although, I will say that I have liked some of the new stuff they have done. I think Flight of Passage, Slinky Dog, and the Frozen Ride are all really well done. The River Journey ride is enjoyable, except it is way too short. This is typical of Disney of late. Only adding 2 rides to a new land, shortening ride concepts, changing a ride rather than building new, etc.... It seems like the ability to do things well is still there, but the efforts often fall short because of their business model.

Nope, nothing concrete on a 5th park...

Disney is supposed to have a special major announcement on August 22nd and this announcement will lead to a 1 hour presentation on the 23rd or 24th... This led to speculation of a 5th gate since Universal just announced their 3rd or 4th depends if you consider Volcano Bay a theme park.. Universal does so to them Epic Universe is their 4th park...

The carrot on a stick routine gets old, just make the announcement.

I get it completely... and under Chapek, all WDW is becoming is a collection of IP tossed anywhere they want... Theme has gone out the window...

Tron in Tomorrowland??? Monsters in Tomorrowland??? Tomorrowland has lost its theme... Time to move on from a space port, which it no longer is... Just now call it Sci Fi land... cause there is nothing "space" about it anymore...

Think about it... Tron has nothing to do with space... Neither does CoP or Monsters Inc Laugh Floor... And Tomorrowland Speedway???? That attraction doesn't even fit into anything sci fi...

But, things are changing at Disney... They are too focused on IP... and they will squeeze IP into every last corner of the parks even if that IP does not belong...

Yep, it gets silly making an announcement that they will be making an announcement... But Universal made headlines and Disney wanted to make sure they weren't left out...

I'm very excited about Universal's announcement. Disney would be hard pressed to make me look their way again for a long time.
