After Universal get settled with EU I hope they then move on to finally doing something about Superhero Island. I understand keeping it as is so Disney doesn't get to use the Marvel IP at WDW, but they can't keep that up unchanged forever. That land has felt painfully outdated for at least 15 years. It has a great ride, but visually the land feels like a late 90's relic and an eyesore.

Toon Lagoon I think is also very long overdue for an overhaul and change of theme.

 

Just booked our (hopeful) next to WDW... Nov 26-Dec 3.

 

Damn we were scrapping our fall trip (buying a house, etc) but I think we got pulled back in lmao

 

Houses are temporary, Disney is forever.

 

can I come

 

Oh shit I thought you were murph yeah you should come

 

@Sean Murphy look what you caused

 

my feelings arent made of steel once

 

iger pretty vocally not in support of writers and actors here which is pretty disappointing but ultimately i guess not surprising

 

wonder if he ever considered that top executives in America making 390 times the salary of their lowest paid workers is what’s not realistic

 

Disney: In 4-6 months you can meet Mirabel in a repurposed courtyard that will probably use used decor.

Universal:You guys want to meet Toad..tomorrow?

The new minion blaster attraction sounds great. Love game based attractions and this one pairing to your Universal account is great. All ages will love it and guests of any language understand the shoot the bad guy concept. Entire attraction (and surrounding land) was built in 16 months. Wild.

 

KNOTTS TOMORROW

they also had a deal for $50 tickets so 3 tickets ended up coming out to $150 in total which is a steal

 

Knotts had this deal my family took advantage of where it was like $30 for meals every three hours and Jesus we got so much and it was felt like we were stealing with how much we got.

they had that for $30 and then the drink plan for like $20 and you can refill every 15 minutes and they really made everything so much easier.

 

We did that at SeaWorld right when they started it and thought the same. It was so cheap and we were practically forcing ourselves to eat. Now it’s every 90 mins and only worth it if you do it from opening to close.

 

It looks really bad. And laggy. The conveyor belt thing is so bizarre.

 

Watched a few recent WDW update videos. So beyond the Epcot hub and the Splash Mountain reskin it is looking like there won't be anything new for a very long time. Brayden of Mickey Views said if they started construction on something literally right now we wouldn't seen it open until the close to end of the decade.

 

it's very odd, with the opening of Epic Universe looming in the next two years

 

I am willing to bet they will give a couple attractions some quick cheap reskins and act like it's a big deal to hold people over until Cocoland and Moanaland open in like 2031.

 

i completely lost faith in them after that D23 last year

 

Like how much would it even cost to just film a new Muppets 3D movie and give that theatre new carpeting or something? I am willing to bet not much.

Or just switch out the music and the queue on RnRC from Aerosmith to Queen and leave the ride the same. Disney literally already owns the rights to Queen's entire catalog and their Oscar winning biopic. Boom cheap effective retheme.

 

Preserve and add seasonal rethemes to country bears you coward Iger!

 

yes bring back Country Bear Christmas please
