Love the new ads! The diversity is great. However, I feel like this will certainly stir the pot with some folks...

I get the lack of fireworks, but I wonder how they will keep the noise down to the point of not disturbing any nearby animals. (I am thinking of the monkeys over in Anandapour.) I know my previous suggestion of using headphones for everyone isn't very practical, but they'll have to find a way to limit the noise from the speakers. Maybe they will have to have very localized speakers directly at the seats. It'll be interesting to see how they handle it!

I am expecting a show similar to/inspired by World of Color.

I hope so, World of Color is one of my favorite attractions in any Disney park and AK is my favorite Disney park setting. I'd love to see the two combined.

It always blows my mind when people get their knickers in a twist over INCLUSIVITY. The ad is perfect.

All personal opinion.... Hanger is lovely. Just us - we don't go to bars. Lounges, a glass of wine... probably different.

Also hearing reports that as of right now Star Wars land will not take over echo lake but will be farther back.

I thought this all along...taking over Echo lake puts it too close to the "Hollywoodland" portion of the park. I just don't see how they handle the transition. (If the theory that I hold of them wanting immersive themed lands in the new Hollywood studios park holds - this means each land will be well distinguished as you enter and exit it. Toy Story Land feels like you are in Andy's Backyard. Star Wars land feels like you are at some far-off spaceport. This doesn't work if the Chinese theater is 50 feet away.
