Disney isn't exactly focusing on resorts. Let's remember that AoA sat abandoned for a decade before Disney felt the need to finish it, and
other than DVC, I don't see any other resorts slotted to be constructed. I would think they are building more DVC because that's what the people want. "
The only resort you mentioned that wasn't a DVC was a resort in Hawaii. We're talking WDW, not Hawaii, or
Disneyland, or Tokyo, or Paris. If we're going to do that, we have to bring Universal Hollywood into the conversation as well, and we'll combine all construction taking place at all Disney's international parks vs what's going on at Universal's. That's 15 against 6. Based on that, the "construction war" isn't even close. However, that's not very relevant to the conversation at hand. So, let's stay in Florida, shall we?
As many, many others have observed, there is little in the so-called "new" Fantasyland that is really new and only one true new attraction (which is way, way behind schedule). If you read reviews the general sentiment is one big yawn.
You can say that, but it doesn't make it true. Be Our Guest, Gaston's, Seven Dwarfs, Under the Sea, Fairytale Hall, Storybook Treats, Dumbo and its playground, the new circus character meet and greet, the new water area for kids, Enchanted Tales with Belle. In what universe are these not new attractions? They're barely a year old. Barnstormer and the train station were remodeled, but other than those, I don't see what case you have. Maybe you don't care for New Fantasyland, and as someone who has taken several statistics courses, the general consensus I always got from my professors was statistics are BS, and anyone who bases their opinions majorly on statistics is setting themselves up to fail. Reviews should be taken into consideration, but let's remember that the overwhelming majority of people who review are unsatisfied customers. Lots of people enjoy New Fantasyland. Regardless, Wizarding World isn't exactly knocking it out of the park. I've been there. We went to the Three Broomsticks, we walked in a couple shops, we walked through the castle and rode Dueling Dragons. Dueling Dragons and Flight of the Hippogriff aren't new attractions, by the way, if we're calling that out. So the Wizarding World expansion had a restaurant, some shops, and a dark ride inside a castle, and some new paint jobs on a couple rollercoasters. No, New Fantasyland isn't likely some amazing life changing experience unless you are a small child, but it's a much bigger expansion than Wizarding World was, and likely will still be more when you combine the new Wizarding World expansion.
No, there was a puffy press event a few days ago. We will believe there is actual construction going on once there is clear evidence of it.
The project has begun. You may be sour with Disney and want to downplay it and tell yourself it isn't happening, but that doesn't change that it is under construction right now.
Yes, that's a real door-busting headliner that will bring in tons of new guest traffic.
I was just bringing up another construction project improving the park. Once again, you can be sour with Disney and what they are doing, but it doesn't change the fact. You can't complain about them doing nothing, but ignore when they do make an improvement. Give credit when it's due.
As the saying goes, talk is cheap. People aren't going to flock to WDW because of vague and worthless Iger "teasers."
I hear this one was put on hold, but it's been speculation from the beginning, so who knows.
Stop the presses. More retail selling schlock and chain dining.
That doesn't change the fact that they are working on improving their parks. But don't let facts get in the way of your blind dislike towards Disney at the moment.
They can't hear you, they're busy planning their trips to Universal this summer when Harry Potter Diagon Alley opens.
Cool, I hope they have fun. Less crowds for me. I won't hold my breath though, I see they're still on the DISboards and not the Universal boards.
