Hollywood Studios is unnecessarily confusing to navigate because all the maps force up to be north which orients the park diagonally which makes it difficult to make reference points.

I think part of it is that you don't even really walk into very obvious worlds like a magic kingdom, they're just streets.

I hate these threads. Full of rich assholes. I will never go to Disney World or Disney Land. I'll probably never leave my shitty ass state again, as I only previously left it on school field-trips.

This shit is way too expensive. Always love seeing commercials on TV, with happy families, and they they drop a pricetag that's north of one grand. And that's not even covering travel expenses and food, or souvenirs.

Hey my sexy elena edition was great

>>93260413
Literally the only reason I've gone to either park is that I know people in Florida and southern California, and leeched off them so I didn't have to pay for local transportation or board. That shit ends up being more expensive than airfare in some cases.

What's the best time of year to go? Least touristy, fewest patrons?

>>93261064
The month with the lowest crowds would probably be January. Everybody just finished the big holiday season, students return to school, & it can go below freezing in Florida.

I want to wait until star wars gets here

>>93261101
I've heard that even MLK Day is one of those holidays which increases park traffic, so perhaps don't plan to visit on the 14th-16th.

I never to got visit EPCOT before the changes

>>93261224
Every holiday/weekend increases traffic. However, I would think that Valentine's Day on a Tuesday would be more crowded than MLK Day (that's always on Monday).

I must add that Disney does a damn good job of bringing guests in year-round. Even in January they have what I think is their biggest marathon.

There's no escaping the crowds. Disney keeps upping the price of admission & lodging, yet that obviously hasn't deterred park attendance.

that 50s sci fi themed drive in restaurant is the best place to eat there.

Why the FUCK did they close tower of terror for some GOTG BS

>>93260463
Really should just be 4 areas:

-Classic Hollywood around the Chinese Theater, sub-area with Muppet avenue
-Star Wars
-Marvel
-Pixar

>>93261540
If you use the strategies to avoid the massive crowds (going early, going at right time of year, using fast pass) Orlando is far superior to foreign parks

But if you show up at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon in July and want to go on Space Mountain you're gonna have a bad time though. Swept away in a flood of screaming obese hispanic children, asians with phones who aren't looking where where they're going, and overheated muslim women in those total body black tarps

>>93261885
Conversely, showing up at park opening on a temperate post-labor day morning and hitting the big rides first then going fast pass for the remaining big rides, then going for the less popular stuff (i.e. hall of presidents) when the park gets busy, and you'll do great.

because Disneyland is for cucks.

Walt Disney World is the GOAT park. They will never sell out for quiplord marvel meme themes.

>>93261833
Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard (the entrance and area around Tower of Terror) are some of the best themed areas in WDW.

The "old hollywood" feel is fantastic and the ToT fits it perfectly.

Marvel could use its own area I agree. Perhaps a rebrand of Animation courtyard.

Muppet land will probably be on the chopping block I'm afraid.

it's because, as I understand, Tower of Terror just wasn't popular at Disneyland.

doesn't help that the California Adventure version was smaller, shorter, and had less to do with Twilight Zone than the original.

Acknowledging at least the latter, they decided to refurbish it.

>>93261833
>>93262042
I don't think Disney can do any marvel attractions in Florida due to Universal Orlando's Island of Adventure.

But I think they're free to do it in California, and thus another reason they changed out ToT in California Adventure for Guardians of the Galaxy; rumor has it that it's just to test the waters and see how a 'Marvel Land' would be received in California.

So far, it looks like it's being received well.

>>93261755

Toontown in Anaheim isn't being leveled for Star Wars land, right? Yeah, I know it's all kid attractions that have already been cucked by changes related to safety measures. But the bad end scenario of Who Framed Roger Rabbit would become real if they bulldozed it for new stuff, and that's depressing as hell.

What's the best food to eat at at any Disney park, /co/?

German Sachertorte at EPCOT for me, probably the best chocolate cake in the world for that matter.

>>93264145
I wish I could have eaten around Epcot some more but that day we kind of got a mild heat stroke and had to go back to the hotel.
And then we went back for the fireworks and the smoke got in our eyes.
You can barely see that tiny globe in the water anyway.

I live down the street from Disneyland
I like seeing the fireworks every night
haven't been since I was a little kid though

Don't try and fit two adults in an Astro orbiter.

>>93262176
Gee, a Marvel themed section of a theme park would be popular? Who would've fucking guessed?
It's almost as if there's an existing one that you could just look at all of the people funneling into and say "Yup, they like it."
It's definitely more of an assured success than Avatar.

The only really mediocre part was the leadup:

Yeah I've seen videos and thought;

This is the same park with the dinosaur ride's intro. THAT ride's intro was how you were supposed to do the scientist and boss dynamic.This intro guy is so unfunny and unengaging that it just took me out of it. It was even less funny/ relevant in the videos made of it during the previews. Like pandoran parasites? Seriously? Where the fuck was the joke?

I'd get it if they want to make it more realistic and serious. But they should just remove Arab scientist guy and have Sig 2.0 just explain everything. Honestly they repeat so much information that there isn't really anything of value

At least the Dinosaur leadup was campy and is (I assume) intended to make you think "What a cock, he's gonna get us fucking killed".

The Avatar one was trying to be semi-realistic and ended up being pretty cringeworthy. I hope they refine it.

Somewhat related, the new Pandora shop was its own cool little experience, complete with a line that rivaled that of the rides. Every person and their grandmother at the park had one of these interactive Banshee toys on their shoulder, which are bought at a rookery at the shop. Lots of cool shit. A bust of Neytiri which
I shamelessly checked for nipples (there were none).

Also, for some completely incomprehensible reason, the whole Pandora area smelled like Jalapeno. No fucking idea what that's about.

If you can't afford to visit Paris then sure. But if you can save enough money for flights and hotels to Paris, it will only take extra time to save money for flights and hotels to Orlando.

I did a quick search and for me it was about 1000 euros vs about 2000 euros for 1 week

Download the WDW app and get your fastpasses set up ASAP.

You can now schedule your fastpasses for each day like weeks in advance, so the good times and rides fill up early.

All of it, basically. At one point as we were walking I saw a window into the scientist room and I actually thought "Jesus, look at all that shit, that might be worth the wait".

It was not, but only because we spent 2 hours at 11 PM shuffling along next to a... colored family, all sporting some flashing-neon Mickey ears which were on the whole time. And who tried to cut in front of us at one point and I had to physically restrain my gf from getting in a fight with.

It basically goes

I should also mention the floating mountains themselves were fairly disappointing.

Like they don't even try to make an illusion of them floating. There's basically a bunch of completely solid, very thick pillars of vines that rise out of the ground to meet them, even thicker than in pic related. I was expecting something quite a bit more impressive; something like giant, extremely-detailed balloons/floats.

Yeah. I prefer camp in my disney rides/intros. In a way it breaks the immersion enough so that while you're enjoying yourself but you know that it's just a ride and isn't trying to be something profoundly preachy and cringe. I mean it's like an uncanny valley of immersion that this new pandora seems to have. Just the hippy vibe and attachment to the script a lot of the cast members seem to have there is just…i don't know, uncomfortable? A part of it probably is because the movie Avatar is pretty shallow and disingenuous in regards to the message it blares out with no subtly. The avatar forum/fanbase is completely cringe with it's 'muh so deep' attitude. The whole land can be considered hypocritical but I'm not going to let that ruin my fun.

The banshee toys have actually sold out and are out of stock for a few weeks. Thankfully I'll be going most likely when they probably will restock…Hopefully. I want a green/yellow one

>>93274018
Not Pirates.

Jack at the end is completely fine. Its not like anything memorable was using that space before.

The Davy Jones/Blackbeard fog is probably the worst addition, but even that is so short and insignificant that it has no real effect on the experience.

Speaking of, Paris's Pirates might be getting even worse because of their movie refurb. Word's going around that they might be killing the Auction scene because political correctness and it it works, they'll do that to the other versions.

That would totally kill the ride, they're pirates who literally sing about how bad they are

But since the auctioneer and the redhead are two of the most iconic AAs I doubt all the parks would remove it

Not Disney specific, but how's the Universal Studios park down in California? Is there anything that stands out in particular?

>>93274542

I doubt it. Coco seems like it'll be another 'good dinosaur' as in be completely forgettable and nobody will talk or care about it…then again I thought that would be what happened to Frozen when I read about it before it came out so…yeah.

Still pissed as to what they did to the old Norway ride. Oh well, money trumps education.

>>93274670
I've only been to Florida's but Cali also has Forbidden Journey which is one of my favorite rides.

>>93274608
OG Test Track had campy humor? I just remember the preshow being even drier then Flight of Passage's and music that sounded like a PS1 launch title.

>>93274700
Obviously a re-skin would hinge on Coco's success.

Yeah I liked Maelstrom. I wish they had used Characters from Frozen to teach you about Norway's history, instead of dropping Norway altogether.

Seems more in line with Walt Disney's vision.

>>93274749
The part where they're picking tests and she picks the wall test always got some chuckles

I did single-rider for Test Track last time and was unable to design a car, which is part of the fun of NuTest Track.

I've researched a lot about it.

The food is generally healthier than a lot of the other choices in Disney.
The main thing is supposed to be like a Chiptole styled restaurant in that you choose portions of your meal like a base with sides and stuff. There's beef, chicken, fish, and tofu. There are also these bao buns called 'pods' that are vegetable curry or cheeseburger meat inside. Vegable bao buns are also kinda bad from what I've heard but the burger boa buns supposedly are worth the hype/taste like mcdonalds cheeseburgers. (they have mustard and spices inside with the meat)

The beers and alcoholic drinks seem ok. There's a green beer but the flavors of most of them seem just ok. The Pandoran sunrise drink is supposedly bad tasting.

The Nightblossom drink (pic here), which I'm looking forward too the most, supposedly tastes a lot like sour skittles.

cheeseburgers.

I have been there a hand full of times before that thanks to going twice as a kid with my family and three times in my high school and college years since I was lucky enough to have a good friend with well off parents. But it's just unrealistic right now.

Mystic Manor. If you only go on one ride, that is the one. That ride is fucking amazing from both a technical standpoint and storytelling. Don't watch any videos about it, don't look at any pictures of it or it will be ruined for you when you get on the actual ride.

Its fine for a Day but they dont put that much into halloween like other parks do. the only notable rides that change are space mountain and haunted mansion which turns into the nightmare before christmas. the parade with the headless horseman is the other only real attraction.

if you can do it I would say go to universal which is only like 15-20 minutes away from disney by car.

Universal does more adult entertainment for halloween, they have a ton of haunted house's themed mostly after movies and tv shows plus a few original/scary story themed ones and they have a bunch of creepy characters walking around scaring guests

I'll probably spill it on Belle or Rapunzel next time.

I've never found Illuminations to be that enjoyable.

I LOVE the Showcase, but I feel like the show could be better.

>>93279567
I'll have to check that out.

You can do both. You can use IPs to teach people science and history.

What if they had used Elsa and Olaf as guides through the history of Norway?

What if Joy and Sadness took you through a revamped Body Wars?

What if Remy from Ratatouille taught you about the historical development of France?

>>93279632
Other then Fantasyland, Disneyland was pretty much all original content in Walt's day and the park was a driver for new content in other mediums. Remember, Davy Crockett's miniseries was created to promote Frontierland, not the other way around.

>>93274120
Strangely enough, that part in the DLR version of the ride is my favorite of the changes, if only for that ominous dirge that plays as you pass through.

The haunting flute version of Yo Ho they put in the early skeleton caves is really good too.

Problem is you have Jones/Blackbeard announcing themselves as being Jones/Blackbeard like the script was written by Mushu.

>>93260413

I went a couple weeks ago. My wealthy aunt adores me and my gf and cousins so she paid for the whole shit. Stayed at the presidential suite of the Contemporary last year, even. Meal plan for the whole trip.

>>93275691

>All that space in Itally

Feel like they could expand that to a "Rome" attraction but that's just me.

>>93279976
That, I'm willing to agree with.

Surprised they haven't tried shoehorning in Salazar yet.

>>93279976
The early skelly caves are the best part, imo.

The skeleton on the steering wheel is terrifying and mesmerizing.

>>93280102
Easily my favorite part of the ride there.

Still have a T-Shirt of the skeleton at the helm.

Does Disney World do anything particularly special for Halloween except that haunted Space Mountain thing?

>>93260413
>live in Orlando

Not my problem you can't afford shit dude. Move somewhere dope like Florida, no state income tax, I can use that money to go to a theme park.

>>93280215
Magic Kingdom has Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It's a separate ticketed event to normal admission, but you can dress up and trick or treat and enjoy short wait times for just about all the attractions. Riding Tomorrowland Speedway as Mario with my friends as other assorted Nintendo characters was fun as hell.

>>93279517

Ergo Proxy. It's a filler episode.

to add on to this anon
>>93277469
If you're a fan of Harry Potter, you definitely need to go. The Harry Potter area is a representation of Hogsmeade/Diagon Alley. It's a ton of fun walking around the park in a wizard robe and checking out all the HP merch.

When it comes to rides, The Hippogriff roller coaster ride is very short and in my opinion not worth the wait.
On the other hand, The Forbidden Journey is a fantastic ride and is actually my favorite in the whole park.

If you like the Walking Dead, the maze they have is pretty worth it. I love going into mazes and seeing other people get spooked. The set inside is pretty great as well.

And a show you definitely can't miss is Waterworld. The stunts are pretty fun to watch and if you happen to go on a hot day, you have the opportunity to check it. This is definitely the must see show.

On another note, my pass just expired so I'm pretty sad about that. I'll definitely be back for Horror Nights though

Jesus, how'd I miss that kind of shit? Now I'll be spending every trip looking behind every trash can and restroom in case there's a nation tucked out of the way.

Any French in this thread? Do you guys still hate Disneyland Paris for being cultural inperialism or whatever?

>>93280482
Mexico is not South America any more than Norway is Russia.

>>93280588
Do they really think that? Kek.

They should stop going to it then, and it'll go out of business.

Too bad a shitty off-brand of WDW is still leagues better than any other park in France.

>>93280491
It used to be a table-service restaurant, now it's an "open air" market. Plus the Three Caballeros ride.

>>93261247

The problem is there are two kinds of people who go to the parks; Those who come for Kino and those who come for Disney. Many people are bored of Epcot mainly because they are trying to get a more 'magic and pure adventure and entertainment' experience like Magic Kingdom. Thing is Epcot wasn't really designed for those people in mind. Epcot was more for people who enjoy watching documentaries with a bit of camp, not for people who want thrill rides with their favorite characters.

I don't mind rides with IPs but there's got to be a balance between original and those based on franchises. Unfortunately that the parks will cross that line someday. Each park is supposed to have a theme; Magic kingdom: Entertainment and Wonder, Epcot: education, Animal Kingdom: conservation/natural world, Hollywood Studios: movie making.

At least with the Pandora addition to Animal Kingdom they're try to incorporate the theme of the natural world and restoration...albeit Avatar is very disingenuous with it's message. But at least it's trying.

The Frozen ride doesn't even try to fit into Epcot's theme.

As >>93279832 said, they should be taking advantage of IPs. However I do disagree with you to an extent. People really want to see characters be themselves and not to have them be lectured in something they don't care about. Hence why it's best to split original and IP and have a balance.

Are there any other books like this with history/design processes/lore behind the rides? I have probably read this shit 4 or 5 times.

I'll admit it ruins the magic knowing the princess you just took a photo was getting railed a few minutes earlier but goddamn would I kill to bang an Ariel or Elsa in costume.

>>93280982

Dinorama's big problem is that for a park so obsessed with authenticity, it completely fails at being a roadside dinosaur attraction.

Roadside dinosaur parks are wonky looking lowbudget walkthru/drivethru prehistory themed Jungle Cruises not a State Fair Midway. A dark ride in the vein of classic roadside dinosaur parks would have been much better for the whole "Dinosaur Americana" theme.

Also, it needs some significant placemaking to put it out west. Like for whatever reason, the backstory for Dinoland is that all these fossils and shit were found right there in Florida when that makes no fucking sense because Florida was busy being underwater during dinosaur times. So hide the show building for this new dark ride or whatever in some new mesa/badlands rockwork and embrace the shit out of the Route 66 stuff. And maaaybe relocate the Sci-Fi Dine In concept to Dinoland with a video loop that's basically an HD version of that sweet-ass Fantastic Dinosaurs of the Movies VHS of dino movie trailers.

>>93281461
>*park so obsessed with authenticity as Animal Kingdom

Also want to add, with the Universe of Energy removal rumors, there's also been rumors indicating that a Dinorama replacement is coming and might incorporate those displaced dinosaur figures.
