@disneytipsguy The signage on Tiana’s is so bad that I even I could do it and I have 0 artistic ability

@SplashFan2000 He would have loved it and he would have had Tony Baxter on his abc special talking about it And sharing the joy to the world.

I know it's impossible to know exactly "what Walt would have wanted" in his parks, but how do you guys think he'd feel about Splash Mountain?
Do you think he would have been satisfied with it's representation of the Br'er Rabbit stories?
English
@Mickey_Central it will be a case study foe business schools buying a brand for 4 billion and killing it in 10 years time. It’s quite impressive if you think about it.
English
If Disney PAID Lucasfilm to destroy Star Wars, I'm convinced it would look no different than Disney Star Wars.
10/10 generational fumble.

‘OBSESSION’ surpassed ‘THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU’ on Wednesday at the box office, retaking the #1 spot domestically.

@Doctor_Disney @Figment_Jedi And this line of thinking is what came out under the chapek era decisions based on the spread sheet. Time will tell whether it’s a good business decision or bad one. Personally I think disney has ripped out too much of what made them unique to the competition
English
I loved Tom Sawyer Island and frequented it often.
I know many others who lived it as much as I did and visited it very rarely.
We both loved it equally.
But to pay to maintain and staff a location of which a minority frequents…makes no sense. Not from a business standpoint.
Sucks for guests? Yes, but I get why they do things.

@ogorangebird Call me crazy but if they made a really good movie that fans wanted to see they could turn a profit off the movie plus have the profit off the merchandise perhaps even more profit as more fans would want to buy it. I guess Disney is ok with leaving profit on the table.
English
The profit margin and potential for a new IP is just staggering. Good for Blumhouse. As a Disney fan you’ve really learn to expect only about three good-great movies a year from those studios (that’s in a good year). While almost everything else is just trash to sell toys.

@nickc2189 @ScottKumka Tianas, Epcot over haul, new bluey experience in animal kingdom, Polynesian tower are more recent examples.
English
The reason why so many people are worried about the changes coming to the Carousel of Progress is because for every Muppets RnRC or Animation Courtyard we've also seen in the past Tiki Room Under New Management and Journey into YOUR Imagination.
English
@ScottKumka Let’s not forget Disney destroyed the muppets first court yard, MV3D, and pizza Rizzo so in totality as fans we get lesser than what was there before. So the muppets end up being a L in the end.
English
@BrerOswald I don’t get why 85 and then 99 for two different show scenes. to close together and not enough or a progress gap.
English
Mirroring the timeline sounds good in theory. In a way it’s a sequel to the original! But it falls apart when you consider the home technology innovations in the past 63 years are few and far between compared to the previous 63. Dishwashers, fridges, stoves … we still use them!
Liam@LiamFromOrlando
The Carousel of Progress opened for the 1964 World’s Fair Walt Disney was born in 1901, so he was 63 when it came out The show covers: -The 1900s (when Walt was born) -The 1920s -The 1940s -The future 1964 was 62 years ago If Walt Disney were creating the Carousel of Progress today at the same point in his life it would cover -The 1960s -The 1980s -The 2000s -The future Disney has announced they are making the following scenes -The 1960s -The 1980s -1999->2000 -The future They are bring BACK Walt’s vision! I don’t think he would have let it sit barely updated for 60 years. It is completely against the message of the show! You can be skeptical regarding the execution, but the announcement makes a lot of sense. This makes it near perfect timing to completely redo the show.
English
@OdysseyJurassic You call it a huge apology I call it Disney throwing the fans a bone after the carcass of muppets courtyard yard and MV3D was destroyed. Or a consolation prize as Disney didn’t know what to do with rockin roller coaster. I’m very bitter about the destruction of the muppets.
English
Seriously, why tf is half this ride just MuppetVision references
It’s not even the Muppets themselves referencing the show like saying “we’ve moved productions” or some shit like that, it’s just props or quotes or other little things
It really feels like a huge apology
TPMvids@TPMvideos
Muppet Vision 3D still lives on in Rock Around The Shop! Loved this little Easter egg!
English
@SplashFan2000 All of these range from ok to bad not exactly the Disney Standard I’m looking for and why I’m always skeptical when imagineering touches things. Epcot overhaul isn’t here but that’s another example of bad.
English
Just in case you somehow needed a refresher, here are just a few examples of attractions Disney tried to "update."
Can you seriously blame us for not trusting them with Carousel of Progress?
English
@ogorangebird In my humble opinion it’s going to take more than a year of small refurbishments. The true test will be tropical America, monsters inc, piston peak, and villains land. Im still skeptical they can pull it off as what was there before was mostly excellent stuff I loved.
English
I get why so many people are hesitant, I do but we’ve had a pretty extraordinary year from Imagineering. At what point do they earn the benefit of the doubt and trust again?
Scott Gustin@ScottGustin
NEW: Carousel of Progress will close at the end of the day on July 5 for a major update featuring new scenes inspired by the 60s, 80s, 2000 and a distant future. But the iconic song, the story of progress, Rover and the family are all staying. More: open.substack.com/pub/scottgusti…
English
@EpcotEnthusiast Yeah didn’t make sense to me either. Should Italy tear down the Colosseum so it’s more relatable to modern tourists.
English
This is like saying modern audiences can’t relate to Main Street, U.S.A. because it’s set at the turn-of-the-century, so Disney needs to update it to 1969 instead.
Hopefully I’m not giving management any ideas... 😬
Boardwalk Times@BoardwalkTimes
One of Walt Disney Imagineering's main goals for the Carousel of Progress update was to keep the attraction relatable for modern audiences by featuring eras in which guests have personal connections.
English
@GreenCheetah99 I’m so excited for this I hope we get the same imagineers who did Tianas, Epcot overhaul, and the new bluey experience at animal kingdom. Can’t wait.
English
WHAT?! Giving us barely more than a months notice is NOT COOL!!
Drew Smith@DrewDisneyDude
BREAKING: July 5 is the final day to experience the current version of Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom. The attraction will reopen in 2027 with all-new scenes and decades: • 1969 — moon landing • 1985 — Halloween night • 1999 — New Year’s Eve • “The Possible Future”
English
@ogorangebird Kind of crazy they didn’t do that with Toy Story land. Missed opportunity
English
This the kind of environment DHS has been longing for since the closure of the Honey I Shrunk The Kids playground in 2016 and exactly what I really hoped to have seen from Toy Story Land.
Scott Gustin@ScottGustin
NEW: “Drawn to Wonderland” in the upcoming “The Magic of Disney Animation" is an immersive indoor Alice in Wonderland-themed playground for kids under 5. Inspired by Mary Blair’s original concept art, the space will include the Mad Tea Party, Mad Hatter’s house, and more.

@DisneyFoodBlog Rivers of America, MuppetVision3D, Splash Mountain, and The Fountain of Nations.
English
What are some reasons you prefer Disney World over other theme parks?
English
@DisneyFoodBlog I don’t anymore Disney took to many things away that I loved so lately we have been using our vacation money for other theme parks and adventures.
English
(1/4) I'm back. Let's make this crystal fucking clear.
I will not keep quiet as you destroy my hobbies and passions.
I will not keep quiet as you label me horrid things for refusing to comply and go along with it.
I will not keep quiet just because you dislike "negativity."
English
@BrerOswald I was thinking we could put him in space ship earth. That way guests can relate to the ride.
English
“We need to put Wall-e in Space Mountain and change the storyline”
English
@DisneyOnParade I go to both parks but agree with your point. Ripping out ROA and replacing it with cars and villains land is a knee jerk reaction to epic universe opening.
English
It’s official and I’m officially sad. If I had any faith in Disney not to mess it up, I wouldn’t be so down. But lately they have lost touch with what real Disney fans want and are changing everything to court Universal customers and people that will never go to a Disney park.😡

@Savethedmagic It’s a shame they don’t. I checked out the new tower that opened And it was so sterile. even out side was sterile. No Disney magic or creativity.
English
Amazing how much Eisner era resort atmosphere still defines what makes WDW special. Disney hasn't built anything like this in a very long time, outside the parks. You can visit for free and just enjoy it even if you're not a guest. They don't do this anymore, and it's a loss.

Good morning wonderful people! A little stroll on the bridge at Caribbean Beach Resort! Have a great day friends!
