News Round Up 2017

might be unpopular, and realize I am someone who is at WDW more than DLR so we still have ToT, but I think it looks pretty good and when that whole area is redone I think it could have a really cool feel

It just looks weird to me.

I think it will make sense once Marvel land opens and Tower becomes some sort of icon of the area. For a while it will be weird right at the end of Hollywood Boulevard, though.

I'm actually excited, regardless. One of the beauties of going to different Disney parks around the world is that you can experience different versions of your favorite rides.

Whatever it takes to make that thing worth $70.

I didn't see those trees reaching into their wallets to increase revenues. To the mill they go!

Swiss family treehouse better watch its back/roots/bark....

Which sucks. Its all about making things better for events like that rather than making the area that all guests see look good.

Ugh. We couldn't keep the trees and ditch the riverboat party?!

I don't approve. Think of Pocahontas.

How high does the sycamore grow Disney?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind with cash, Disney? I don't think so.

Pocahontas also does not approve.

I think it's pretty obvious that I approve this message.....

I'll say once more - just around the earnings call
Beyond cash flows - where the dividends flow free
Don't know what for the board members might send
Just around the earnings call for me, coming for me

Well, I was busy all day at work and just now checked for fp's for Rivers of Light. Of course they are already gone for the night we will be there.

And there's an example of the $$ add ons affecting the regular guest....

Sorry to be repetitive....hadn't finished the thread before responding.

sorry to rehash from pages ago but...

I've now watched both videos of RoL posted to this thread and read everyone's critiques and feelings about it. And after the initial version I was in agreement with most of them, however after watching the HD version (and I know a lot of those who chimed in didn't watch the entirety of the videos for spoiler reasons) but if you look at it separately from all the other nighttime shows provided, this show is absolutely beautiful! The score is moving, the projections are bright, and clear, and gorgeous. I can't wait to see it in person. for everyone saying there is a lack of WOW factor, originally I agreed with them, but after seeing it in HD i feel compelled to put forward the awesomeness of the "3D" images projected from the individual "lotus barges". I mention these because I can't recall a time when I've ever seen this effect done in a Disney show or any other show like it. That alone WOWed the hell outta me...

I decide to stay off the boards for one day and return to some major announcements! That doesn't exactly reward my limited self-control!

I think my strongest reaction is to Wishes being replaced. I know it's time, and I'm sure the next show will be wonderful, but it's hard to say goodbye! I teared up a little...

Volcano Bay looks incredible; the only advantage Disney's water parks will have (at least for a while) is that they are easier for on-site guests to get to. One new attraction at TL isn't much competition.

...and the trees...SMH

As my good friend T.J. Detwiler once said, "you miss a little, you miss a lot".

That's exactly how I feel too ... almost like when a kid is heading off to college/leaving the nest .... I know it is time but still hard to say goodbye
