    Is Phase 2 of Pandora: The World of Avatar ever coming to Animal Kingdom?

    I've been a fan/advocate of just putting the Shanghai POTC in DHS as is and then removing all the Jack elements from MK POTC. If you go back to "classic" MK, the two rides are drastically different without much overlap that would definitely function fine in different parks in the same resort...

    Rumor D23 2026 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

    I can understand a replacement show, but it would be utterly pointless to waste money tearing down a perfectly great theater that service a solid role - particularly in a park lacking enough indoor attractions (particularly in terms of total ride time) given the hot sun. Though hopefully...

    Is Phase 2 of Pandora: The World of Avatar ever coming to Animal Kingdom?

    Serious question: is that a role that ITTBAB didn't fill? I know some kids got scared, but it's largely the same sort of product (except of course that ITTBAB was better thematically).

    Is Phase 2 of Pandora: The World of Avatar ever coming to Animal Kingdom?

    I really think this would be ideal. I don't think DCA has the space to really do Pandora justice and it would really be incongruent thematically with DCA (and I know the park is already kind of hodgepodge at this point, but this would be a considerable acceleration). And meanwhile DAK really...

    News Disney Springs Bus Service to Resorts Now Requires Reservation Verification

    In particular, this year’s July 4 has a ton of celebrations going on at places given it’s 250 plus the World Cup so I wouldn’t be surprised if people opt for other celebrations than WDW.

    News Disney Considered Building Hotels Inside Magic Kingdom, Court Records Reveal

    The location that @wdwmagic suggests on Bay Lake is where the Persian Resort was planned to be. I can't really imagine they would use that spot now. For starters the "theme park view" would be directly of the Tron show building. And in general I don't think you'd be able to see the castle...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I will say that I loved Stardust Racers especially at night. It’s basically right on the upper edge of intensity that I can enjoy. Velocicoaster is too intense for me to have fun on it.

    Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

    Just for what it’s worth, the scent machines would be a hindrance to doing randomization.

    New Disney series 'Behind the Attraction' will go behind-the-curtain at some of Disney's most famous attractions

    Have we heard anything about a potential season 3? I thought there were rumors at one point of it being in production but can’t seem to find anything so maybe that was me wishcasting

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    I will say in regards to that list that Scrooge McDuck and Launchpad’s voices on the Ducktales reboot took a lot of getting used to

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Superheros with the fantasy wish casting plus baseline conceit of "good vs evil" line up perfectly well with Disney's brand identity.

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    That wouldn't "lock them in". You can have a walkway/tunnel go through to bern to another section on the land. Or, potentially depending on how the land is configured, have queues and load stations inside the berm but have the ride cross the berm and have show buildings outside it (as POTC...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    What would define it as "nearby" to the potable water? The large buildig over the current train trains seems as close to the water main along its northeast side as the other larger building is to the water pipes. Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't it have water connections enter from the side...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    New permits with a larger building is definitely a positive - implies that whatever is planned for the northeast building (suspected to be the indoor ride so tentatively a Maleficent boat ride) is larger in scale than previous. My questions regarding the plans are this: 1. are there other...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I tend to agree that the Madame Medusa theme to the restaurant makes me question the accuracy of the article. That just seems so far in left field as to just not be right. That doesn’t mean that other parts of the article are not correct - they have sources - but I’m not taking it as gospel...
