Curious that you would bring this up at this point. Currently it seems like the bigger question is whether Disney is still with Cameron moving forward with Avatar at all (further movies and DL/DCA Avatar area) My impression is that they don’t know what the right path should be and are in limbo

I’ve been under the impression that the retaining walls are to support and define the creek/stream/river(?) that’s apparently going in. But do the walls that we’re seeing make sense with this? Clearly there’s something planned, but it appears that the retaining wall is pretty small towards...

The autotune sounding dialogue in the queue televisions annoyed my 16 year old; since he mentioned it, I can’t ignore it. It was better in Shanghai since we couldn’t understand what they were saying Separate from this - I wish the handlebars didn’t have to be pulled back. To me it’s an...

I wonder if EPCOT’s delays + the fact that it took away such a beautiful area of MK makes them want to stop the bleeding as quickly as possible

So this permit looks to be valid for one year; but have we gotten an impression as to when this is likely to be done? I had thought initially that it could be pretty efficient, but with the olaf animatronic (or will he just be a video?), I would guess it’s going to take a while…

Perhaps not…but a “walk on” on Small World gets you right on the boat. Whereas a “walk on” has two ride cycles in front of you whether or not anyone is on those rides, right? Again- were the preshows better quality then I wouldn’t be complaining (or we would ride it more); but as it is, we like...

Prefer time in line? No. But prefer time in World Showcase? Yes. If mission space didn’t have all the preshows (or maybe if they were better, I suppose) we would also ride that one more often. I thought Splash Mountain was a great ride, but I was glad that the length of the queue...

They didn’t for universe of energy. Had the ride been shorter, we might have ridden it more; but since we (and apparently- others) didn’t love it, we didn’t want to spend 30min on something didn’t enjoy

fwiw, I think that the Tiana ride at DL is great. And I rarely rode Splash

How’s that dead horse? Eh - let’s take a few more swings at it Separate from whether Splash fit or not, at least they tried to keep the theme. And decades after it was built, the boardwalk along Frontierland across from Tom Sawyer’s was still a lovely area that felt better than a theme park...

Total aside - but I enjoy the scrapped-together story. My family thinks it’s a total package (but for some first room preshow fatigue)

That’s assuming that you put the context of the movie in said location- which is why it was gutted They changed the appearance of Splash to look more like the west. It could easily have been a Texas location by its characters and its appearance. The vibe of the space changed completely as the...

Except that I’m not sure he’s wrong. Putting Tiana/New Orleans feels like a real shot across the bow

Agreed - I think that’s why I haven’t noticed it But it does look much better with it down

I still think it has great bones. It just needs a very real set of enhancements
