Sounds like the Big Thunder Mountain refurb is finally happening. Let’s see if they actually carry through this time.

Not in Nov I hope

This makes me happy. I'll be there tomorrow to stream all the cavalcades

Until it’s actually reported by a legitimate source, it’s still just hypothetical. Depending on what they’d do to the ride, I would think it would need quite a few months worth of work to get it done in time for the 50th crowds.

Permits are a sign that something is coming however it doesn't necessarily signal a large refurb. There was one planned. Obviously everything has changed. I do hope the ride sees some updates.

The projection mapping and explosion addition would be ideal, and that was what was planned in the past. But this could just be minor upgrades and they revisit the bigger plans later on when they’re financially comfortable again. I’d be happily surprised if they go through with the former

It definitely needs updates, disneyland kicks it’s rear! However...

Dear Disney,
Can you please not update anything in mid-Nov over my trip dates? I am most special and want all attractions open over my trip.

it’s one of those things that if it’s never changed to the Disneyland and DLP versions, I wouldn’t be heartbroken. It’s certainly an approvement, but it’s not something that negatively impacts my my rides on the WDW version.

You could have a Big Thunder Mountain trade for Peoplemover and Ratatouille depending on when your trip. That’s of course if Disney decides to stop playing the Universal strategy of “Oh, you think you see an almost completed Ratatouille expanded France with a ride? We have no idea what you’re referring to, we don’t see that”

So why couldn’t they open fantasmic? Doesn’t seem that expensive to operate compared to other night shows & you can do social distancing in the theatre more easily than other parks.

Cost of CMs I guess.

To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if we've seen the last showing of fantasmic.

Quick Google search shows that it costs an approximate 30k per show.

Because with limited capacity they can’t justify the cost. It may seem like it’s not that expensive but there is a very large cast and crew for that production. I think the parks would have to be back closer to full capacity to justify the cost of running Fantasmic. They’d have to be making more money.

They’ve put way too much infrastructure into that show on both coasts and make too much money on it to ditch it forever. It’ll eventually be back. 30k is quite the run cost but all the dining packages and everything they sell during the show add up quick too. Not to mention it’s the only reason to stay in DHS at night.

Made my dining reservations without any errors so looks like MDE is back

Don't they still do that fairly bleh star wars projection show? Projection shows are the future!

On the cost of infrastructure etc, a few months ago people may have thought the same of RoL
