New scenes in Fantasmic at DL

Very disappointed. The Disneyland version was already perfect as it was! I hope this doesn't ruin the show for me. I guess I'll find out "potentially" in July.

The solution to the Tiki Room "foot traffic" issue is rather easy, in fact, it is easy enough that I can fix it for less than $5,000. The key to increasing foot traffic is to make the attraction more inviting to guests as they walk by. How do you do that? Install a well themed digital sign that shows the temperature of the pavement at the current moment at the top with the current temperature inside the Tiki Room below.

I appreciate the Tiki Room for what it is and don't want to lose it. I LOVE the Tiki Room for the air conditioned 15 minutes that it provides.

To the Disney employee who reads this, I will gladly accept payment for this simple fix in the form of annual passes for four for the next 10 years. Sure it is more than the cost to add the sign, but I have to make a little cash on the idea! Just think of all the money the idea saves in renovation costs and customer service conversations with those upset at losing it.

I think what you are finding in regards to the Tiki room, is pure analysis or the real estate usage in the park. Similar to Stitch and even the speedway. Could it be used better to soak up some bodies as the busier time of years.
I must admit I haven't been in the Tiki room since my first visit in the 80's, and I honestly don't remember going(maybe I didn't). Of our 3 recent visits, we always talk of going to it, but always somehow skip it in favor of something else...often pirates of the Caribbean.

Been a bit off the grid the last week or so...in Arizona.



I know exactly where this is - between Pheonix and Tucson sort of in the middle of nowhere. An ambitious idea, I think they are using hyperbole to make it sound better than it is. Since my mom lives in Mesa, we frequently visit, so if it ever DOES become anything worthwhile we could go down there and check it out.
.

Unfortunately, we live 600 feet from the proposed property line!

I just want to say that this article says the post has been taken down on the D23 website. I just checked the D23 website, and it is now confirmed on an article on D23 describing what not to miss this summer at Disneyland.

I would also like to say that this article on D23 says that there will be a Lion King scene. I am now happy about that change. More Lion King in the parks is always a plus for me.

Or maybe they should install a bird out front that draws people in like an old fashioned circus barker and explains the ride. They could call it the Barker Bird

I thought the rumor was supposed to be an interactive line like the one at WDW. I'm actually ok with having a year around Christmas shop at DLR like they do at WDW.

You're right, that one was floating around too! And yeah it honestly didn't make much of a difference to me, and this option isn't bad. I never went in the shop before, I might actually go in now!

Saw this!! Pixar show at HS is 40 mins, with three shows a night. Check the times after May 26. I have a feeling this could be a good FP choice
