News Round Up 2017

[Mr. lncredible]

I'm sorry but what is BGM?

I assumed back ground music but I am far from an expert of Disney acronyms.

Well, that does make sense....duh.

Background music

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Thank you, I was thinking I was the only one who couldn't figure that out...even looked at the list of attractions on the Disney site!

I didn't know that one either but was able to find via google a reference to "background music" and just chatted up about assuming that was correct/I knew what I was talking about

Background music

I guess if you had asked me about the background music anywhere at WDW, about
all that I’d really be able to quickly recall would be the entrance to Epcot, and of course the preview areas of the attractions…I’d probably remember it when I heard it again though.

Which is pretty weird since I really enjoy it when I’m aware of it, and think that it really adds to the atmosphere.

I do always notice the loon (Minnesota girl here) in the entrance to the SDMT.

The best background music in all of Disney.

 

[Bay Max]

The best background music in all of Disney.

Amen!

In regards to the alleged Tomorrowland re-theme and budget...

I'd almost rather have some more low key dark rides instead of E ticket attractions. I mean, Peter Pan's Flight wasn't an E ticket and its one of the most popular rides in the park. I wonder if a dark ride might be on the drawing board for Tomorrowland.

I can agree with that. I've downloaded all of the background music I could find on youtube and my family starts listening to it more and more as a disney trip approaches (during dinner for example). don't knock it 'til you try it.

I hear you. I do the same thing. Nothing makes me miss Disney more than listening to that music.

Yeah I don't think we will see all the budget go to an E ticket attraction here.

That's on my grilling music rotation.

I could not agree more. I think a Wall-E dark ride could be amazing

I guess this works best for the photo, but I'm pretty disappointed he isn't on the ground rolling around, and a bit larger.

My guess is that is a liability issue. He does move and "talk" but having him on a base is probably best.

I too would love a Wall-E ride, but I think the Disney parks are ignoring that movie, like so many other deserving movies.

I think they can even do it in a very innovative way. You can start out going along a base track like most of the dark rides, then when Wall-E goes into space while holding onto Eve's ship, your ride vehicle can move straight up. Then your vehicle can fly like the Peter Pan ships while your in space, then touch back down inside the Walmart ship.

Could this be better suited to Future World though? Add an education component
