Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.Even if it’s the right move I just don’t see PatF coming anywhere near close to the magic that Splash USED to have for me.

Conspiracy moment…what if Disney never intended on replacing the ride in Orlando, but instead generated a short term squeeze in the market to boost souvenir sales during the height of the pandemic? :look:

So they could face class-action for the Main Street theater being canceled?If they knowingly lied, they could possibly find themselves on the pointy end of a class-action vs. shareholders like the WWE did over the Saudi Arabia shows.
I believe I said "knowingly" - and also "possibly." Ask any of the lawyers in the community if you want more than a layman's wildassed guess.So they could face class-action for the Main Street theater being canceled?
Keep in mind they still haven’t announced a timeline when this would take place.
It is happening but at WDW? Maybe notWhy do we keep coming around to this conversation with no proof whatsoever? Until there is any credible rumor (or word from Disney) that the retheme is in trouble or not happening, then it's happening. End of story.
This is nonsense to keep bringing up these conspiracy theories that hold no weight and only stir the pot. Do I think that Disney is taking advantage of the ride getting rethemed by selling as much Slash merch as possible? YES. Does that mean that the retheme isn't happening? NO.
It is happening at WDW as of right now. There is no evidence that it isn't happening. There is no rumors that it isn't happening at WDW (credible rumors). Until we start to hear rumblings that it might not happen in WDW based on actual things that are happening and not just people saying things because they want it not to happen, then it's happening.It is happening but at WDW? Maybe not
They are cutting budget stuff left and right, so I can see it not coming for years over there
Disneyland, ohhh yes and they also have an easier time rethemeing that section of the land to be New Orleans if they like. Also Tokyo I just don't think they are interesting in it...the characters do well there and I see zero reason they need to change since troubled past of the characters doesn't affect them
Sounds plausible. I'm 'guessing' Disney is going into one of their budget conscious 'no new attractions phases', except the ones already started. That leaves redos/refurbs of existing attractions, like Splash, as their marketing avenue .I'mI'm pretty sure it's still coming, but I'm guessing it will be later than everyone thinks. At this point from my understanding the "new attraction pipeline" for WDW is:
Since they haven't started any kind of construction for 2024 and beyond yet and it takes the 4-5 years to build anything most of the time I'm guessing that Princess & The Frog retheme could be marketed as their 2024 addition.
- Rat (2021)
- Tron (2022)
- Guardians (2023)
- NOTHING (2024)
This, unless Poppins is the only 2024 addition :stun:Sounds plausible. I'm 'guessing' Disney is going into one of their budget conscious 'no new attractions phases', except the ones already started. That leaves redos/refurbs of existing attractions, like Splash, as their marketing avenue .I'm
'guessing' the Orlando Disney/Universal 'new attractions race' is over, and is being conceded to Universal. Chapek is CHEAP personified.
and that was already planned, though not carried out, and appears just to be a very minor B ticket level attraction.This, unless Poppins is the only 2024 addition :stun:
In all honesty, this makes sense for it to be 2024. Hopefully the new AAs are good and it has a good soundtrack.and that was already planned, though not carried out, and appears just to be a very minor B ticket level attraction.
“We did 5 hours of research and understand it all” is how I read this.So this was buried in an article about jungle cruise.

Why Disneyland's Jungle Cruise cultural changes aren't just 'woke' — they're necessary
The new Jungle Cruise shows Disney wants to be in the cultural conversation rather than an artifact or, worse, a representation of the 'good ole days.'t.co
