I am soooo glad we can't have any of this Marvel garbage here.

I don't like any of the Marvel properties, but they're far from "garbage"

Full opinions at the end. Had to stop periscope because all the comments whining how they need to stop with worlds announcements got to be to much for me. Did it bother anyone else or (probably) was it just me?

Just gave everyone in the hall a pass for Fantasmic! NICE!

Just heard the Epcot news. I've got a real sour feeling in the pit of my stomach over the continuous creep of Disney IP into a park that originally had none.

So how long until Disney Resorts and Ticket Prices rise above what the average middle-class family can afford, assuming they haven't already? At this rate I probably won't be able to afford it by 2025 or so.

I don't get this. Everyone complains that things are getting out of date but panics when they build new things.

I am reading the WDW stuff and shudder to think how much passes will jump and what AP bennifits will become upcharges especially since we had lots of upcharges and entertainment cuts for Shanghi construction

and also complains about prices being too high and that it is too crowded

Then you will have an awful hard time using it!

God forbid I don't want to have to mortgage my house to afford a Disney vacation in the future.

Rat. Tron. Mickey. Guardians.

So they did announce tron?...good...I missed that and that's the big get.

Lots of money being dumped into the parks...progress. I still think they are disjointed in Epcot...but it's better than the current semi-rot...I suppose.

People are afraid to be happy!

This is all gonna be awesome and there's still more we don't know about! We are going this October to see Pandora and 2021 will be even better!

It sounds like they plan to get rid of the Epcot "spine" for the most part. Won't that leave huge open areas?

Concept art is showing quite a fair bit of greenery and such.

So it hopefully won't be concrete city anymore

but what do you want then? not build new things? Cut back even more on CM costs? run the parks at a loss?

 

[dbavis]

sorry, i'm not familiar with the 'spine' term for epcot. can someone explain that?

 

[rteetz]

So many announcements I'm out of breath.

Are they really that broke? I know that ESPN is a drain but still.

What exactly is the spine?
