Are you flying through KC to drive to Marceline?
Great work. I agree with you on how to see Disney the 1st time.
Hopefully the queue is nothing like the Tron ride, the queue made me mad thinking they spent 5 years on that ride and didn’t bother to Theme the queue.
I’m hoping theming on the level and quality of Mystic Mannor, grizzly gulch and seven mine dwarf train.
Marceline is amazing. I went several times while I was living in Saint Louis MO. You will have a blast.
Tiana's isn't an addition, it's another re-theme. They REMOVED a popular attraction (100% purely for woke purposes) and are now rumored to completely re-theme the entire Frontierland to make it fit, and make it into some New Orleans swampland instead. As if we don't have enough swamp in Florida that we need a whole Magic Kingdom land for it? What's next to get the axe? Country Bear Jamboree? Thunder Mountain? Those things aren't woke enough for the modern Disney. Next we get Encanto and Coco land with a bunch of meet & greets! Yay! All of 1% of us are excited for that! What a great response by Disney to Universal's Epic Universe!
I still say the main issue is they are rethemeing a thrill ride to a princess theme. Which means the targeted audience who are children won't be able to ride because of a height requirement or just scared of the thrill aspects of the attraction.
The main question is: are we getting actual beignets in Magic Kingdom??
I don't think the interior of Bayou Adventure will take very long. It's the exterior that will take up all the time! Well I don't think Magic Kingdom Tiana will open for a long time. But I think Disneyland Tiana will open in spring of 2024. Possibly even summer of 2024. But yeah I don't think the interior will take that long (at least in Disneyland) Because Mission Breakout opened up only 4 months after it closed. But the exterior had already been getting worked on for a long time. I think it's the exterior that will take up all the time. But I don't think the interior will take that long
Idk if I'm the only one to feel this way but I just think human characters in Splash Mountain just sounds interesting
4:30 I wouldn't mind another Runaway railway. I think that would do good at Walt Disney Studios in Paris! But I get what your saying. We can't have Disney keep cloning attractions. We need them to replace something very good for something either just as good or better. I'm sad about Splash Mountain! But I'm gonna give Tiana a chance
Problem with the Splash Mountain re-theme. IMO
1. Money spent does not increase park capacity or lower wait lines on existing rides.
2. A Disney Princess ride that you have to be over 40 inches to ride. Not only that you get quite wet. There goes all your Bibbidi Bobbiddi Boo customers.
3. Topography. It would have been more realistic to make a new attraction. Take the Navi River Journey ride idea and make it Tiana's Bayou Adventure. No height requirement either, all the little kids could ride and see their Princesses.
4. If Disney had there heart on the re-theme, why do both parks at the same time. See how one is received by the public first. Imagine if they made 2 Galactic Star Cruisers?
5. Why make the same ride at all the parks. Give people a reason to go to different parks to experience new things. Soar'in the World in Epcot, Soar'in over California in DCA. Hello?
6. Lastly Splash is a proven beloved ride. There was nothing wrong with it. I hope you're right Tom, because Tiana's has some pretty big shoes to fill.
I have such high hopes for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure – you can really tell that they are being incredibly thoughtful and intentional with this retheme! As a lover of Princess and the Frog, and jazz – I think this is really going to be something special! 💚💜💛
Speaking of ink and paint, what happened to Jill’s show? Any more episodes coming up?
🎼Sounds like the music is going to be really good…hopefully Disney surprises us all with the finished product.
If they will just sell New Orleans-Style Beignets at TBA, then they’ll have a bigger gold mine than those “7 guys” over in New Fantasyland.
I REALLY liked the show that the barges had cuz it was this BIG SHOW in the middle of the lake that everyone could see, they had all the music, they had all the characters, and everyone could see the screens no matter where you were. Now it’s just gonna be fireworks, which are cool don’t get me wrong I LOVE BIG BOOMING fireworks but, now it feels now it’s a downgrade from a show with projections for visual aid for ppl who don’t immediately recognize everything Disney, music, AND fireworks to just music and fireworks.
Just seeing how castle empty the lake is after the barges are gone seems like they’re almost incapable of having something interesting in it.
I would love to do the "World Disney Private Jet", but I'd have to leave my 4 kids home, and wife 😂
$115k to ride Soring in real life. Wish I had the money!
Dude you just complain so much about any thing Disney does, but you never have a complaint on your Universal theme park coverage. Do you know how much their fast pass costs? How long the Mummy was closed. No park is perfect.
If they are piping in the smell of beignets, then they better sell them nearby. I can foresee big problems for them if they do this with something that smells that amazing (tastes amazing too, just in case anyone doesn't know) and they don't have them anywhere in the park. With the way people are so on edge these days, I could see it promising to be a nightmare for cast members who work on the ride and near it. With kids being hungry at weird times and anyone else that stood in that line for an hour or more smelling that delicious scent and then being told that there aren't any available unless you go to one specific hotel's cafe. That cafe is Scat Cat's Club Cafe at Port Orleans. IMHO, it's worth staying at Port Orleans just for the beignets… not that it isn't nice w/o them but you get the point 😂 (although it has been quite a few years since I've been there due to a massive car accident and then covid.) Hopefully it's still the nice resort it's been for a long time.
Take care all and big hugs, k
Terence Blanchard!! Can’t wait to get in line just for that.
I’m still waiting for a WDWNT tour group to Japan ! Who better than Tom to show us Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea???
I’d love to take that trip. It ain’t never gonna happen, but a girl can dream 😍
Maybe the new $115,000 trip is to make the Starcruiser experience seem like a great deal lol. I could spend almost $500,000 for my family for less than a month or do the Starcruiser for $5,000 for 2 days
Disney consistently overpromises and underdelivers, so I'll just wait and see how many animatronics actually make it into the ride. I foresee many screens… 🤣🤣😭
We have friends doing the around the world Disney ABD trip this year, what a dream holiday that will be.
