What has Disney changed that makes you the HAPPIEST???

[Tonyz]

Instead of wallowing in misery of the glories of the past (Kungaloosh ) let's talk about what we LIKE that they've changed or added!

A few obvious ones:

- Toy Story Midway Mania
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (looks absolutely amazing as a landmark itself, and I'll be riding in September)
- Expedition Everest

Let's hear 'em!

I love the dessert party, and the addition of CRT.

I think the Castle Suite is amazing, and pray I will be lucky enough to see it in my lifetime!

Focusing on the positive aspect of these additions:

- adding Starbuck's drinks
- not added yet, but the night show coming to AK
- AKL

 

[LittleMissDisneyDork]

-Festival of Fantasy
-Test Track 2.0
-Seven Dwarves Mine Train
-Hub reconstruction which will hopefully make it easier to move before and after Wishes

Believe it or not, FP+ works really well with our park hopping strategy.

I love the DVC expansion. I don't want to own one, but I really like the ability to rent points from owners and stay at deluxe resorts for moderate pricing.

I actually LOVE MB and FP+. They gave us the best, most stress free WDW trip of our lives over Easter!

~Not only do I believe it but I share the exact same sentiment about FP+! I also *love* the magic bands! I'm happy about the New Fantasyland Expansion -- which was originally meant to be a Pixie Hollow meet & greet.

~And, I can't wait to see Fantasyland without walls, ride 7DMT, and see the new parade.

~I'm also looking forward to Avatar-land, AK at night and some fabulous shopping at the New Disney Springs!

FP+- loved having a TSM, TOT and Star Tours FP already reserved for the afternoon of our first day. Made the 1/2 a day at DHS much more relaxed.
And I think New Fantasyland is super cute, especially at night.

We love the MB's and fp+. The benefits outweigh the negatives.

Also - I like that they added the food booths to the Flower and Garden Show.

I like the fact that BOG restaurant is counter service for lunch. And I especially love the fp for resort guests.

I like having the MDE website. It is handy for keeping track of ADR's and fp+'s.

Forgot to add the Star Tours revamp!!! Loved the ride before, now I can ride it many times in a row!!!

 

[BuzzinDownToDisney]

I know it is older now and rarely considered a fan favorite, but I had a 15-ish year gap from the 80s till the 00s between visits and all I talked about when I finally went back was PhilaharMagic. It was my first experience with 4D and am still in love with the whole experience.

 

[TwinPrincessMermaids]

Disney has figured out how to put US in the ACTION its WONDERFUL!!!!!

For instance, Belle's Storytime is amazing! I was blown away to be in a room so close and have such a neat experience with a live princess. I loved it! I was much more excited to go on the new Ariel ride (obviously) but there seems to be less magic now cruising by animatrons as opposed to a real Ariel, but I still really like it and enjoy going on it. But Belle ended up being the surprise for me.

Another example, Monsters Laughfloor. You can go round and round and yes the script may be similar, but the jokes, interviewees and monsters are all different. I really enjoy their comedians. The 2 headed ones are SO funny. So is that Billy monster guy. Also the first time my Dad ever went, HE was THAT GUY!
A really great use of cool technology.

Which also includes of course one of our faves Turtle Talk. Righteous! Righteous! SHAHHH. We ALWAYS HAVE TO GO. (Bonus delight for this attraction visiting us on the Disney Dream! )

And a very very big shout out for Art of Animation, which literally puts US in the art studio. When we first saw it in 2008, we said "ookaaay, do we ACTUALLY get to DRAW?" and the CM said "Yep!" And we have fallen in love ever since.

Believe me, I LOVE roller coasters and attractions. So adding the thrillers RnRc, ToT and EE, these are all SUPER pluses. I can ride good rides in a lot of places (especially CP), BUT....these interactive attractions literally put us RIGHT in the middle of the magic.

Great job Disney!!!!!

Completely agree!! PhilharMagic blows me away every time I see it. Might be my favorite thing in any park.

I like PhilharMagic too but what did Disney change about it???? I can see Disney adding Frozen though!!!! Dang- just about every answer is happy about FastPass+...I didn't expect to see that. Y'all got me too excited-----I can't wait to try it!!!!!
