[@gracepatton1763]

I'm just waiting for the MNSSHP announcement.

[@swilt7]

Me too!!

[@krisrhood2127]

I think a Moana show on a cruise ship is a great idea!

[@dfbbreea]

🎶I have crossed the horizon to find yoooou…🎶

[@charlessumner969]

I wish they wouldn’t get rid of attractions and just instead expand the lands to have more. I like it’s tough to be a bug.

[@donnachefalo3804]

I agree 100%. Especially when it’s rides people love that they are getting rid of

[@familyoftacticaldroids309]

Yeah, I saw this when I was like...10? Maybe 11? Never got the see the show since, but I'm going to Disneyland for the first time (idk if it has that show or not) and if it has the show, I wanna try seeing it before it shuts down. Sadly, it seems most everything is happening way prior to our possible date (late September, for my birthday), so I may not see it - if DL has it at all. But on the plus side, MAYBE Tiana's will be open? I've been fixated on the movie for a while (mostly Dr. Facilier, so I'm gonna aim to see him for sure!) so to know that the attraction is nearing its possible opening date is pretty neat. Anywho, that aside, yes...I wish they wouldn't take out the show. A Bug's Life is a great movie to this day so it's sad to see the sliver of it left at the park being removed. I don't think there's anything else to represent it (excluding things like merch)?

[@CritterKeeper01]

I'm hoping they announce a budget hotel to match what Universal has been providing their guests! It would indicate that they are at least thinking a little bit about their less affluent guests, which would help their image problem, and they can make it far enough out that the travel time would be a deterrent to anyone who can afford their usual deluxe-prices-for-budget-accommodations!

[@that1guyYouknow]

The company that said "we will raise prices as long as people are willing to pay them" is going to care about their patrons and "the poors?" 😂😂 not on your life! Ain't no way. The poors can just watch KZbin, and dream they can afford Disney. (This is sarcasm, Disney execs are corporate monsters)

[@richardmercer2337]

AJ has packed a LOT of news into 30 minutes! You may want to run it more than once!

[@dfbbreea]

There’s just SO MUCH HAPPENING

[@iamlegion3093]

Always love the AJ videos!

[@courtneygreer5438]

The repeat of keeping us updated 4:51 mark makes me wonder if it's still early and we gonna get updated hehe ❤

[@Kay.gee1]

I'm just so sad the Bugs life show and Dinosaur will eventually be gone. I truely love those!

[@stevenwelti9321]

I wish they could just expand and add new rides instead of replace already existing rides

[@delwinalvarez8086]

Dinosaur is my favorite ride 😢

[@ChunkychunHealy]

@@stevenwelti9321 I think it’s ok they’re replacing It's Tough To Be A Bug because I hated it!

[@ChunkychunHealy]

@@delwinalvarez8086 I think you need to look at the future not at the past!

[@familyoftacticaldroids309]

I'm gonna miss the bugs. :( I remember the stink bug part to this day - and it's been probably 20+ years since I last saw the show!

[@DisneyGirl2day]

I was hoping for more Muppet stuff coming to Hollywood Studios since they are part of the Disney family

[@sylvie797]

The drone shows in Disneyland Paris are SPECTACULAR! I'd love it if they brought the drones to Disney World.

[@Fanficreviews]

D23 news that I want is another 2D animation movie still clinging to that hope!

[@Laura-lh6sm]

6:04 Also an Epcot kid here, also kinda nerdy and absolutely LOVED World of Motion 🩷😭 Couldn’t we have both, though? Test Track and World of Motion? 😬

[@tiffanygwinn1603]

Only because it was mentioned in the video, my sister actually works at the Cake Bake Shop in Carmal, Indiana! 🤩Best cakes ever! 🤤

[@dfbbreea]

That’s so cool!! 🎂

[@andrewcopeland6318]

@TravelingAroundDisney I see y'all at 7:38 in the video!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@SSgtTaylor96]

With the kind of wait times Test Track racks up, I'm surprised they're retheming it.

[@NisaNJames]

I’d like news that they’re going to make Disney parks more affordable…

[@metallicnole4514]

That ain't happening anytime soon...or ever

[@annlavine3576]

Amen

[@annlavine3576]

I have a hack for a snack I bought saltines and ate them with plastic cheese…. all for $ 1. 00

[@annien.1727]

@@metallicnole4514 😠OF COURSE it's gonna happen soon! I'm going to MAKE that happen once I get to work at Disney! Prices at Disney parks WILL become lower and more affordable, you'll see!

[@rayriley1334]

You’ve got jokes I see.

[@jkim412]

Positive Comment!!!

[@dfbbreea]

Positive response!!!!

[@michellestaner]

I wonder if they will put the Pirates lounge where Tortuga Tavern is since it doesn't have long operating hours. Just a thought

[@rb5078]

I feel like I’m playing Frogger trying to plan my first ever trip next year. I want to ride everything but so many things are down or are going to be down.

[@kristinavalcarce2404]

I'm wondering when they'll open Disneyland's Tiana's Bayou Adventure. It doesn't make much sense to open a water ride in the winter...

[@metallicnole4514]

It's a shame about marvel characters not able to be used in disney world cuz of the universal deal.

[@ChunkychunHealy]

Yeah! But, they don’t really belong to Disney world in my opinion! They don’t suit the theme at all!

[@metallicnole4514]

@@ChunkychunHealy If there was space, they could stick avengers campus at hollywood studios. It's no less out of place there than toy story land or galaxy's edge.

[@tonyatwal7349]

Hi AJ and the rest of DFB. Is there a video for UK visitors. Now the free dining is back in the UK , lots of people have booked for 2025 (after waiting for free dinning to come back).and Staying at Disney for 14 night as standard.

[@robertkahro4565]

Star Tours Combos - while the opening (Troopers or Vader or Kylo) are random and the person communicating coordinates to get our spy to where they need to go (Ahsoka or Andor or...) were different, I was VERY disappointed that the first planet was ALWAYS Kashyyyk and the second "planet" was ALWAYS a dogfight amongst Purrgil (hyperspace whales from Ahsoka and Rebels). We even rode in different theatres to see if the planets would be different on May 3rd but that wasn't the case at all. I miss the extra variety in the places you visit beyond the characters you interact with throughout the ride.

[@dodiswatchbobobo]

I hope Tiana gets her princess dress back for the meet and greets. The new outfit is great for the ride but we’ve already got the Skippers and the Wilderness Explorers. We really don’t need yet another person in a safari outfit to take pictures with.

[@HDBrown-wc9xt]

As long as they keep the Dinosaur ride I’ll keep coming to Disney world. If not my Disney days are going to be gone. By oldest is a Dino-nerd. And we will be going to Universal. Sounds like a new hit song. “All about that poutine!”

[@SydneyB]

AJ, if there's going to be big music and other shows in the new Communicore (EPCOT), does that mean no more concerts up in World Showcase (by the American Pavillion)?

[@DFBGuide]

Since we haven't seen the new stage areas in person it's hard to tell how big capacity will be and if they can accommodate the crowds for the bands that usually perform on the America Gardens Stage. I'm guessing they'll keep both and certain festivals may see more entertainment on the America Gardens Stage (thinking Candlelight Processional in particular), but we won't know anything for sure until Disney tells us!

[@Nuggtendo]

We're never getting that Avengers E ticket 😢

[@cameronlightsey6633]

Unfortunately I think you’re right

[@GLJosh]

Never is a long time, we will probably get something like that Avengers E ticket.

[@Nuggtendo]

@@GLJosh They probably have no idea what kind of ride they're doing yet. It's changed so much 😮‍💨

[@slowazzd2165]

​@Nuggtendo my god are you actually children or what? They announced it as a bluesky concept only a few years ago and disney typically doesn't work on multiple major attractions at the same time. Considering tianas has been planned for way longer it makes sense they'd finish that first. Things take time, it'll probably be like 2027-2028 at the earliest but I know that may as well be forever to you kids that need instant gratification on something

[@Nuggtendo]

@@slowazzd2165 just making jokes. Its been 5 years since they announced it and they haven't started anything yet. We get the land and the e ticket almost a decade later is ridiculous.

[@holllyrhode]

The water park offer is NOT a perk. Most people arrive at night or its storming. If it lasted the whole time i was staying in disney and i redeem my ticket for the date of my choice THEN its something worth bragging about

[@holllyrhode]

1:57 that water park offer is horrible. Im not getting off my long flight and going to a water park immediately. Usually land night time too

[@familyoftacticaldroids309]

Tbh, that offer is kinda lame. Like, I honestly kinda doubt most could even afford to stay at a Disney hotel as it is (as much as I'd love to, I can't see myself being able to afford it first of all, pay so much, but second of all, lose sleep because of all the kids running around), and would rather do a Hampton inn or something that's still nearby, but cheaper. Plus yeah, what if the park is too crowded, or closed? After a long plane ride, I feel like the most one would be able to do would be unpack and maybe get something to eat. They could at least extend it to be as long as you're staying at a Disney hotel or something...I don't know why it would have to be the DAY OF arrival...What if the weather's not in your favor? Rain? Cold? Water parks aren't as fun when it's storming, y'know! :P And I mean, yeah, you should probably try to plan with weather in mind, but it's honestly the deal that's more wrong, because we can't control the weather, etc, and Mother Nature is tricky like that; Maybe it says it'll be sunny that day, but all of the sudden, thunderstorms. We get that here in Texas all the time.

[@holllyrhode]

@@familyoftacticaldroids309 yeah it doesnt make sense. What do i do if i arrive and its nighttime or storming. Can i go the next day instead. Id be so mad if they didnt accommodate me in some way whilst this offer is running

[@HaleyFlood-fo1ll]

It would be nice if Disney cruise line would add some black panther wakanda forever themed rooms or some Spider-Man themed rooms you know mix it up a little bit kind of like royal Caribbean does with there cruise ships

[@ChunkychunHealy]

@@michellec5407 But, I think you black people need to understand you do mater! You just need to shut it and see it!

[@lisa-mariedowd1881]

AJ as i am going to disney from may 18th to june 1st what will happen with the festival and is there a chance it will open by my visit.

[@beetlebri]

Oh my gosh, we booked Epcot for my sister birthday on June 17 and her favorite ride IS test track!! Does it close that day or will that be the last day to ride it?? 🙏🙏

[@DFBGuide]

that's the day it's going to close!

[@maryowens-jk6gf]

When is there going to be a Stitch ride?

[@natefame]

Will Dino land still be open by the end of the year? I have a trip in November

[@delwinalvarez8086]

Disney is making me regret being a DVC with every announcement

[@user-hl2vn4kg2c]

I am so upset about the perk for 2025. Coming from the west coast we will never be able to use that perk. We would have to fly in a day early and stay off property the day before check in. So in reality it would cost me more to use that perk then to just lose it. We should be able to use it on check in day or the next. I wish someone would address this. Even when we take the earliest flight out of Ca ( 6am) the earliest we can arrive in Orlando is 3:30/4pm. So upset that there is not an option for a perk.

[@MBFF-if7yu]

Any idea of how long it will take for the new Test Track to reopen?

[@DFBGuide]

no word yet, but we'll get the news out as soon as it's announced!

[@ChunkychunHealy]

You forgot to mention the Frozen land that’s coming to Disney World!

[@ashleymcgarvey7311]

i hope the expiation behind big thunder is the villains theme not the one w Encanto and indiana jones it sounds way cooler

[@dfbbreea]

The villains-themed area idea has been thrown around for Magic Kingdom - BUT the Encanto/Indiana Jones areas are coming to Animal Kingdom!

[@ryansdisneyadventures]

hey

[@holllyrhode]

We dont need another avatar land. Sigh. Or another cosmic rewind but thanos

[@FLjcollins]

Horizons and World of Motion were the 2 best rides ever created by Disney. The OG Journey Into Imagination with Dreamfinder and Malstrom are a very close second.

[@blainejohnson8775]

I missed this news because Disney has fallen behind Universal

[@kinuckles7419]

Please no more avatar Disney 😢.

[@familyoftacticaldroids309]

Tbh, when I think "Disney", Avatar is the least thing that comes to my mind...They really should stick to more of their popular movies - old and new. Like, the Encanto and Coco lands sound great, and especially the Villains theme (then hey, Avatar villains! BUT also villains from other Disney media!). Zootopia is replacing the last speck of A Bug's Life I remember, and tbh, it deserves its own LAND not just a show here and there. I never watched Avatar so I can't say anything about it and mean it as an experienced opinion. I know people really enjoyed the movie and it was a huge Box Office hit, but that's all I know. I don't think I was really interested - and again, MY thoughts when it gets to Disney would be...Animations. Lion King, Princess and the Frog, Toy Story...Not the more live action type stuff like Avatar. Even Star Wars isn't my initial thought, nor is Marvel - even though they are now under Disney's wing. So yeah, I'll just bring it down to this: Focus on Disney films that are actually Disney, I guess? Or things that people think of when they hear "Disney". Zootopia, Moana, Coco...Something like that.

[@mikefischer9327]

Who wants to put money down that none of these ‘coming soon’ expansions are completed before 2030?

[@lisa-mariedowd1881]

your wrong

[@peejay22]

Hopelessly hoping that Bob I. will soon be gone. Also hoping to see Walt’s dream reimagined for families. I really want the parks at disney world to thrive. Things are so expensive now it’s difficult to visit. Meanwhile, I’ll keep watching and enjoying the updates AJ brings us. Thanks so much.
