It truly is the dawn of a new era in animatronics.

It’s funny you say that about the Walt show because I legit think it’s gonna end on a ‘zinger’ of Walt introducing us to the Florida project/Epcot, saying he’s got some meeting he’s gotta go and get to about Florida lol. Cause that’s a perfect segue into ‘continuing the story’ beyond him. Awesome show as always!✨

Great video I love your podcasts there so fun i was wondering if you know about annual pass previews for epic I just got universal passes for Christmas so I’m excited to be back going to universal also do you know if early theme park admission to epic universe as well?

FWIW I rode splash last weekend and the person in row 2 didn’t get that wet! Tiana is fixed btw. But yeah both times I rode Tiana I didnt get too wet either but I was in rows 4 and 5 respectively both rides

I'm so happy to hear they didn't make the Disneyland version of Tiana's less wet than it was before. That was the #1 thing I was worried about. All you aquaphobes can enjoy the light mist at Orlando.

So relieved today to see that the Epic Universe Monster animatronic figures are amazing and not like Frozen Ever After projection faces! Bayou Country sign bird is nice, but it is unforgivable that there are no birds in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Owl in the Pooh ride is the only bird in the land.

I've been following all your updates on Epic for about4 years now. They and you are great, thank you. I'm going June 1st and its gonna be like Christmas.

August tickets booked! Can’t wait

Were you able to get a ticket to Epic Universe, or are you waiting for more ticket types to drop first?

The disney adults hpping on the epic universe bandwagon is gross. Yuck. stay there we dont want you being entitled in Universal. I said it! If you dont want Universal at Supercharged, you dont get Universal at Epic. Its stupid that vloggers that go to Universal once every 6 months were in line to buy as many tickets as they could, just to make a buck off the the content. It's a log ride.

I feel like they should rename the park Disney CineMagic Adventure, give it a bit of Disney and a bit more of an identity instead of another version of the Hollywood Studios/Adventure Park generation of BLAND theme park names

Complaints about the Mcu timeliness for a theme park is ridiculous.

I trust nothing at D23. I won't believe in any of these projects until they are open.

I’m pretty confident the stark flight lab thing is gonna be another Luigi’s flying tires

The "MCU ride canon" arguement kinda falls apart when you realize no ones goes into a theme park ride wondering how this fits into film canon. No one rides Toy Story Mania wondering where this fits into the Toy Story franchise. Lmao.

Hoping Monsters Inc means we’re finally getting some quality Sushi in the parks!

Move muppetvision to animation courtyard, add a muppets dark ride that doesn’t require the offices to move, put Disney jr in the vacation fun building

I have been saying Disney cinematic adventure for a while

"Inside Out at the Wonders of Life Pavilion, SPONSORED BY ZOLOFT" When I tell you I absolutely CACKLED LIKE A DAMN WITCH lmak

when i heard u say summer event similar to hhn i was like are they doing scream break like at six flags , but fan fest makes more sense for the summer 😂love ur vids!!😊

They should definitely do Back to the Future in the tunnel, and end it with a Doc and Marty animatronic send off.

Ghostbusters coaster would be great. Two other coasters could be a jaws coaster with you in boat seats and a jaws chase after you on the track or a back to the future coaster! As for simpsons hollywood replace it with a disney philharmagic like show with ips not in the park much like et, back to the future, jaws, gremlins, beetlejuice, smokey and the bandit, casper 90s movie, the mask, bill and ted, an american tail, woody woodpecker, land before time, terminator, twister, scooby-doo, etc. For Florida replace nick studios with a grinch darkride. Put a tiny minion spinner in the unused second shrek theatre room, put he-man and she-ra in sinbad, spongebob show or marvel stage show at toon theatre and beetlejuice or back future stage show in fear factor. Fill these empty theatres.

My first visit to USH I was so annoyed I didn't get to see the clock tower. All I have is a blurry photo from the top of the escalators. I'm hoping to go back this summer so hopefully no filming later this time.

not to be a hater but universal has had scare zones in springfield before

Was NayNay just on the "Spooked" podcast?

Mention 'Ghostbusters Drifting Coaster' on the other podcast to make it happen. Please... Please. Thank you!

All heil the algorithm!

BTTF 1's 40th anniversary is in 2025, so I think they could incorporate that into the rumored Fan Fest that might be taking place next year. Would love to see them convert Mel's diner into Lou's cafe, or build a BTTF themed maze for the event.

Is there any construction updates on Universal Kids?😅

Hope we get more episodes 🙏

"yes, as they should, more boat rides please" lmmaoo

Totally agree on your stand with parks and them shying away from us being able to see wild animals! They need to stop.

Ugh, Indiana Jones 👎👎👎👎👎

Inside Out taking over Play (Life) Pavilion is a concepts I love. Would the simulator ride be reborn or can we get more boat rides! The pavilion has an odd placement with Epcot’s 3 thrill rides next door.

Great episode! At least there is some juicy stuff to gossip about with the batty ideas floating around for Disney parks - Alica, you're so accurate with the Uni rumors, you've kind of taken all the intrigue out of Universal speculation!

I NEED Zootopia land in Magic Kingdom.

For a Rockin’ Roller Coaster retheme, I’d still want it to keep the theme of music (as opposed to abandoning it all together), but instead of just replacing Aerosmith with a newer band that the younger generation is familiar with, make it about Goofy and Max trying to get to a Powerline concert. Though I’d also be okay if they just made a generic “dad rock” band for it so they could keep a lot of the same aesthetics.

My Blue Sky dream for a good Villains Land would have a Maleficent's Fury Dark Ride, a Cave of Wonders Magic Carpet roller coaster, an Underworld Cafe, a Cruella fashion clothing store, and a Dr. Facilier Voodoo Parlor Stage Show. Plus a general Meet and Greet area for other villains.

34:00 I think the reason they’re doing less single ip lands is just because they’re running out of strong ips that can carry a land. They’re probably also finding it difficult to add on to single ip lands like galaxys edge.

18:04 Building AVATAR beyond Critter Country/ Tiana’s does make a lot of sense given Critter Country will close May 1st and Disney specifically said they will improve crowd flow in the area. I think you’re onto something there!

Have a differing opinion about location of pandora. I see it as being south of pixar place hotel, so the seaside pier manifestation theme gives way to a beautiful coastal manifestation theme. Extraterrestrial or not, kind of see this being the big IP version of big sur. Carsland is the desert, grizzly peak for the national parks/mountains. Would be a really incredible payoff to work your way back there, and would flow nicely from the more real world buena vista street, toward the oier, to full blown fantasy. Or minds would naturally fill in the blanks as far as set extension is concerned, if we imagine that the pier is on the ocean nearby this wild pandora waterfront. Tearing out the built environment of hollywoodland to have a hard cut toward a wild natural environment makes no sense and disney so far has been really frugal when renovating dca, keeping existing assets and infrastructure and building locations in place. So in review, tearing down hollywoodland to build a natural env from scratch, and then building a city scape for zootopia for example in the parking lot beyond pixar pier someday, would just be abysmal financial planning and reay redundant. I think its likely we see hollywood blvd remain, but then the backlot area gets replaced with a version of zootopia. This too would be amazing because hollywood blvd is pretty right now but it is the highlight of the land since the backlot is so weak; having hollywood blvd as an appetizer for a more rewarding themed experience would be an awesome arrival sequence.

Star tours is just such a superior ride experience to millennium falcon. I think they need to go with a more traditional star wars space battle scene for millennium falcon, but also, the ride profiling is just so limited. Swapped thrill for novelty and interactivity.

Wow, what a great episode! I feel like this "Boat Era" started with Fantasy Springs--two water boat rides (Tangled and Frozen) near a flying boat ride (Peter Pan) not far from another boat ride (Sinbad). I'm wondering if the Encanto ride is a re-skinned version of Japan's Tangled boat ride. There is already merchandise of the Avatar Otters (in a pin set). The creatures were cut from the Way of Water. I think the birds in the concept art are the seagull like bird creatures that were in the film.

I’ve been WAITING for this. So excited!

Regarding the Dinosaur/Indy thing. Look up the dinosaur Ica Stones. South America artifact that depicts dinosaurs. Think of how much money Disney could save shoehorning Indy into a Dinosaur ride and recycling all those animatronics...

Can’t wait to enter Disney Adventure World and go to adventure way to see adventure bay and then ride Ratatouille l’aventure totalement toqué de Rémy

Somehow, Disney rumors have returned.

I thought the new app was as also part of the my magic plus budget.

😈 Promo`SM

I just think animal kingdom needs more capacity. Also Magic kingdom should get new Frontierland just like fantasyland.
