WE ARE SO BACK! 😎 Please note this video was recorded the night prior to the release of the official attraction POV and the ensuing technical difficulties at Tiana's Bayou Adventure. While I start putting the next video together, you can check out what I've written about the new attraction on our website, mickeyviews.com! Enjoy the show! -Brayden

[@EnjoiTanner]

time to cover more universal

[@OSheaPunk]

Please do a video review

[@tiannam117]

So good to have you back. By far my fav disney news channel.

[@birbluv9595]

I’m sorry to hear about your computer issues! But, my God, your new documentary on Americana, based partly on your trip to the Library of Congress - with 3D software and several sections - has got me excited! I’ve needed something great to look forward to - TYSM, Brayden!

[@craigsoota1]

I don’t want to go hating on Tiana, but what I do want to do is go loving on Splash… the biggest mistake on this ride was feeling the need to change it.. the story, the characters and the ride weee magic and loved worldwide… no more laughing place and zippedeedooda… and the spikes on the drop… it’s so sad. It’ll be good, if it will not be as good

[@denisemcgilvrey3966]

The normal guest has never been “nerdy” enough to notice the small details, but it was always done by Disney anyway. And subconsciously it made the experience real and authentic. Disney spearheaded this sort of attention to detail and it is what made them different. Losing their way and it’s really sad.

[@deletedaccountdnd]

I literally point out the small details to my party that they may have missed on rides and once you point them out, they always want to ride again and look for more!!

[@walterramirez4443]

Thanks for saying what many of us have noticed but the vloggers don't have the guts to say because they don't want to lose their disney credentials. It is very sad where the current Disney is being run, but most people don't care.

[@AverageJoe483]

The little details Disney USED to do is what made it a great company .

[@IanTheBat]

They paved paradise and put up a (stroller) parking lot.

[@MickeyViews]

We might forgive, but we will never forget

[@bridgetclement2968]

​@MickeyViews Tiana Opens on my Moms Birthday 🎂

[@bridgetclement2968]

​@MickeyViews i think i wll enjoy Tiana since it revolves around NOLA and I live in Nola.

[@bridgetclement2968]

​@MickeyViews are u going to do a ride for APs???

[@hobgoblin4614]

It's sad that they did that. Seems like they are taking the imagineering out of Disney and replacing it with finance-engineering.

[@sg9414]

Magic Kingdom needs to ADD something new before closing anything else...the crowds are awful and uncomfortable. There is no magic waiting an hour for any good ride. Love Mickey Views!

[@HigherQualityUploads]

Disney doesn't care. As long as people are foolish enough to pay to go to their resort, they won't be incentivized to change anything.

[@angeliqueduvois]

@@HigherQualityUploads use your pocketbook or lack of. Too bad most will not realize their power! They just say more Disney. Disney needs to b knocked down so much that maybe it will knock some sense in them .

[@metallicnole4514]

I wonder if tron and tiana’s going to stand by queue will absorb crowds. Magic kingdom will always have large crowds since it’s the most visited park in the world.

[@bethanywashington1243]

Wait until they own Epic universe then the crowd at Disney will die down

[@romywhite290]

They make money off lines being long

[@Naotakun]

I agree about the signage and regular guests noticing. They may not know why something is off but they'll feel it. It's similar to an uncanny valley effect.

[@Songwriterbehindthecurtain]

Same.

[@506363]

They look so photo shopped and lifeless.

[@nevets4433]

They need to bite the bullet and get something opened at the stitch/alien encounter area. It’s just empty space. I’ve heard the cleanup could be difficult…but it needs to be done

[@thejerseygirl97]

You’re so right about the signage. Even each Trader Joe’s location has an employee who does hand painted signage 😭

[@Songwriterbehindthecurtain]

Splash mountain characters in country bear jamboree that’s incredibly awesome 👏🏻.

[@youmatgle]

Disney needs to get rid of the dependance of cell phone during the visit. A credit card should be enough.

[@katherinejenkins5049]

They should retheme rockin' rollercoaster to Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, don't need to worry about licensing fees when you already own the license. Plus, we could always use more Muppets in the parks.

[@hobgoblin4614]

That's a great idea. The things they could do with Animal! One can only dream.

[@patm95]

I agree!

[@writerpatrick]

People have been suggesting that for years. If the band gets replaced for Rockin' Rollercoaster, they'll either go with The Electric Mayhem or some artists Disney is trying to promote.

[@stanfordite11]

No we shouldn't. Licensing, schmicensing.

[@hobgoblin4614]

@@writerpatrick I hope they go with the Muppets. So sad with what happened with them. Disney seems to buy things and then either does very little to nothing with it (i.e. the Muppetts) or goes way overboard overproducing content which withers in quality and gets diluted (perfect example - Star Wars).

[@CruisingTipsDotCom]

Having just spent a week at Walt Disney World, I can honestly say that I'm done with Disney for a while. Planning was nightmarish, and it was impossible to enjoy the parks without buying Lightning Lanes and Genie Plus. We were traveling with a party of 12, and we did buy the Genie Plus three days... so you do the math. We are very fortunate to be able to afford that luxury, but I couldn't help thinking of all the families with kids who would NOT be able to fork over that much cash. It's sad what Disney has become. For ages, I went two or three times a year. Now... yeah, I'm good.

[@cappyjones]

Same! Once they got rid of the Magical Express, I was done. It was the principle of it.

[@jenniferrundle6870]

We purchased a lightning lane one time, but in general I refuse to spend that extra money-same for genie+. We are fortunate to be able to travel whenever we want during the year, so we always avoid holidays and the busiest times. And we have also determined that if we miss a ride because we refuse to purchase extra things and we also don't want to wait in the lines, it will be the first ride we hit next time we visit. In general though, we are enjoying more staycations where the vacation is just at the resort and traveling around for good food and activities!

[@dbrew2u]

It's unfortunate , but it's primarily Families exactly like yours that Disney now caters too .

[@b.easton1842]

Im going in 2025 and am terrified of the Genie+ stuff. I went with my wife back in 2020 right before the Genie+ stuff kicked off and it was not bad at all. Now it seems like it just became super stressful for everyone.

[@ronbloomberg]

​@@b.easton1842 - It is super stressful! Don't throw your money away. Instead, spend it on a trip to Disneyland Paris where you'll have a much better experience for your money.

[@CapeSIX]

8:43 lol Disney won’t say it but they been removing free entertainment , sitting , and shade. You want shade get in line, go shopping , or pay for a meal

[@GLJosh]

Disney Executives, so how do we monetize relaxing from the Florida sun...

[@raisingphoenix3374]

I know its been a little while, but I was just hearing about the disastrous CM previews for TBA and thinking to myself "I need to know what Brayden thinks about all this mess!!!" And here you are! Thanks!

[@purplefern6010]

TBA is such a funny acronym. Like it'll never be finished because it's always "tba" lol.

[@johnvictor2451]

Apparently, it is very forgettable in every way. Thanks for nothing, Disney!

[@stanfordite11]

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is not real and the footage is AI. Splash Mountain is alive and well.

[@teachrkimmy2898]

There's been alot [and I mean a LOT] of trash talk regarding this latest of Disney's blunders...even the diehards will eventually push WDW aside for a bigger, better, more spectacular Epic Universe. My son is one of said CMs, and he definitely will not ride this again. While there IS a definite improvement in the quality of animatronics, there's no real set storyline - just a bunch of random scenes thrown together. Even some of the finishes of the different vignettes seem unpolished, especially for Disney's [past] creations.

[@chriso1626]

Thanks for being honest. You can tell the difference between those with Disney media and those without it. My wife and I talked on how you will probably never get media because you are to honest.

[@ryanc.3372]

Disneyland's Thunder was down from the start of 2013 to spring 2014 for a complete track replacement. So its not un heard of that Disney would be willing to spend the money to do that extensive of a refurbishment.

[@Momcircus]

Unheard of in 2024, under Iger and Jeff Vahle though, but no, not in 2014

[@nick_pappagiorgio]

Splash mountain died for this. 😟

[@angeliqueduvois]

😢😢 sad but disney caved. They deserve all of this

[@johnzywko5885]

[@Jwagz17]

Always great to see a Mickey Views notification!!!

[@hobgoblin4614]

For sure! 100%

[@jimt9245]

Your comment on the used of decals verse hand stenciling is spot on. Part of what makes an immersive experience is a land seems to have aged in places instead of being freshly waxed on the showroom floor. I would expect to find some nice patina'd vehicles amongst the trees of the bayou. The down time for Big Thunder Mountain will allow for a prep for a new portal into beyond big thunder ... but a copy of radiator springs sounds lackluster. Disney should be more conscience about the placing of lands, the summer weather patterns are very different between from California to Florida. And is a Pixar focused Land right for a castle park.

[@Primogen18]

Hong kong and Shanghai have their toy story lands in their castle parks and Cali has galaxy's edge in theirs, they did a pretty good job with those so far (using galaxy only as another example of a non "traditional" ip land at a castle park)

[@BoyFlorentin]

Galaxy's Edge and TBA are both copies and you don't say that's lackluster.

[@BoyFlorentin]

There is no confirmation Radiator Spring's Racers Magic Kingdom will be an exact copy.

[@jimt9245]

@@BoyFlorentin why design something new, when you can just duplicate the same plan in Florida

[@MatecaCorp]

@@BoyFlorentin i say they are

[@iamteubing]

You're too good for Disney these days. Excited for your next chapter...we'll be there for it.

[@lesliereynolds4492]

When I first saw the Big Thunder dynamite effects at Disneyland, I was not impressed. Little changes like that don’t change my impression on the ride. I was very impressed with the long tunnel at Disneyland Paris, now that was amazing. I still love the ride at every park.

[@MaxQ10001]

Going the extra mile is what gives you perfect immersion, all those things you just feel, you can't point it out or put it in words.

[@gamesforgamers6017]

It’s a shame that they got rid of the play area.

[@reddotviews]

oh my goodness- where have you been! Please don't ever leave us again!! haha. Super excited to watch this evening! See you soon!

[@polkamikeschneider]

Thank you, Brayden, for not taking short cuts to quality like the primary company you report on has recently (hopefully that will be improving with all the money they're investing). People do know the difference, and I appreciate your efforts to go the extra mile! Keep up the awesome work, and can't wait to see your documentary!

[@mathieuadkins5270]

[@BoyFlorentin]

I understand although if they want to keep DCA original then them having the whole entire land. We shall see..it be so beautiful at night.

[@GiaBlinks]

Should have done a cool Dr. Facillier swamp storyline instead of the weird garden in a salt dome/mountain hybrid.

[@jackthomas2051]

Especially since Louisiana is a swamp. There is not a single mountain in the entire state. It’s almost as if ignorant people are in charge at Disney.

[@MimmaMom]

So happy to see a new video. Your videos are amazing!

[@lesliereynolds4492]

The birds in Splash Mountain were taken from America Sings which took over the rotating building when they removed Carousel of progress. So the animatronics on the West Coast are even older.

If you have any sway with the Imagineers, *please* drop the suggestion of Muppets Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem retheme of Rockin Roller Coaster. Anything with Animal would be insane, and it would help get Muppets tie ins at Hollywood Studios.

Gonna be honest i hate the idea of cars coming to Magic Kingdom. I wish it would be something new and not yet another copy and paste from another park. Also thats something that is special to DCA. let it be special. idk maybe I'm overthinking it.
