You mean Neighborhood 1, 2, 3, and 4 aren't good names?

I really like going to Disney park 1,2,3 and 4 while I’m at the world too

I wish it wasn’t a slushy.

I wish it had alcohol!

If it wasn’t in magic kingdom then they could.

or if it was at a table service location in MK they could (although, I guess they are still just doing wine and beer, no mixed drinks)

I am sure Club 33 will have alcohol too.

Yeah that park is just strange at this point. I’m not against a Pixar land by any means but they could have done so much better.

I assumed Pixar Pier was just a short term fix to try to convince locals that there was something new and exciting.

Though DL really confuses me. I've heard that the parks are just unbelievably swamped all the time. So with that reasoning they don't really need a short term new thing to draw in the crowds. But if that is the case, why even bother with Pixar Pier? It's mostly just putting a new coat of paint on things.

So basically this show creator just copies popular, non-Disney movies that have come out lately and turns them into Disney cartoons? Was he behind Wizards of Waverly place as well?

Vampirina= Hotel Translyvania
TOTS: Storks, or whatever it was called.

Was Storks a popular kids movie? It didn't seem very popular to me or those around me that are much younger.

I thought I remembered it being a 100 million + entry, but box office mojo is down right now, and I don't feel like opening google or another site.

I remember reading when it was first announced that it was a project given as sort of a "test" to see how quickly imagineers and others involved in planning could turn around a "major" project. But I have no idea how true that is. The whole thing seems pretty pointless.

I'm not doubting your quote...but geez Disney. I don't think re-theming an existing coaster and re-naming some snack stands is a 'major' project.

If they really want to test the imagineers they should have just let DL and WDW Star Wars construction and design race against each other.

WDW would end up with the less superior one then. WDW is already the one who complained about the cancelled third SWGE attraction.

I got over my laziness. Looks like Storks made 183 million worldwide, 72 million domestically. Budget of 70 million. Not bad.

Still, all Disney's latest cartoons sound an awful lot like popular movies.
