It is sad the attractions that are disappearing to add someone’s dream to change WDW to add a different theme leaning tward totally different theme. Removing Bugs Life, Tree of Life and other loved attractions is sad and disturbing. This is happening through out WDW to the detriment of the parks. It is sad and angering to the point if never coming back. Soon Haunted Mansion will soon be gone.
If you ever took a behind the scenes tour you would understand the storyline of the attractions. RIP Walt and Roy. You are being erased one attraction at a time. The Carosel of Progress is Walt and Roy that I saw in 1963 at the New Yorks World Fair. Now it is going to be gone. Erasing truly Walt and Roy.
And so will I.
At this point, I’d like to see NI MORE CONSTRUCTION for a few years … I come to WDW 2-4 times a year and the walls and destruction/construction is getting VERY old
It was Walts dreams for Disney to be ever changing. Don’t say their “ruining” it, because that’s simply Walts design! Disneys design is never supposed to be static.
Walt is dead and that philosophy died with him. There isn’t any imagination left in the world. When I take over Disney the parks will go backwards until I say they’re perfect and then become static. There will be no more new rides at all or any expansion. The parks will contract and shrink if anything.
That’s the most horrible idea and way of thinking about it I’ve ever heard, you do that and within 10 years the parks are gonna die off you’ll lose money womt make enough to keep them open and have to sell or go bankrupt and be known as the guy who truly killed Disney, I hope you never work at the parks or get a powerful position in Disney, that philosophy did not at all die with him as they’re still doing what he wanted and would’ve wanted, just because you like the old rides or don’t like change doesn’t determine how the park should be, very selfish person you are. Change happens no matter what everywhere and all the time, it’s a beautiful thing yes construction sucks and doesn’t look nice and it sucks when some of your favorite rides are closed for a while for refurbishment but in the end it’s to make it all better, get with the times.
Disney can survive on its name alone and will when I take over. The parks will absolutely not go bankrupt if they stay the same. They will thrive and I will make them great again. People see a park carrying a Disney name and they will go. Always. P.T. Barnum was right about a certain type born every minute. I will toss out the idea of “Keep Moving Forward because there is no where forward left to go. Disney ran out of imagination in the 1990s and the parks will go back to those days or earlier. Change is bad and not part of my life and doesn’t happen to me. Times are over and history is over. It’s the 20th century. I will not be CEO of Disney as I will have the majority of the shares when I take over. I will be Owner the way sports teams have Owners. Like Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys or the DeBartolo family of the San Francisco 49ers. I will only answer to Walt himself and do things by asking “What would Walt do?” like management did for decades after his passing and I will cater to Disney purists and traditionalists only.
Exactly! Walt never wanted Disneyland or Disney World to be stagnant! There are classics I hope never leave but Walt would be upset if they didnt “keep moving forward”
The idea of “keep moving forward” died with Walt. It’s over. Stagnation is good and there isn’t any imagination left. Disney when I take over will be great again and locked in the 20th century never adding any new rides while bringing back old ones.
I love the classics but our children and their children won’t have the same nostalgic we have about those specific movies . They need their hot of nostalgia and it will come with the new movie being represented in the park. It just makes sense. It isn’t all being done for just one narrow demographic. It has to evoke the feeling you’ve been experiencing since a child for EVERYONE. That’s why it’s ever changing. The timeline could’ve been different but still it makes sense. As a Disney Travel Advisor I think they’re all great ideas. I do wish they kept a lot of the original stuff too though because my 5 yr old is just now discovering the classics and I would love for him to see the rides for them like a Bug’s Life. but but hey
Yeah….right. Those new sections will blend right in. Sure they will …. And safari not included, Dinosaur was the best ride at that park. What are you taking out next, Disney, the animal safari?
Well, I don’t know. I was there this weekend and there were constructions happening. What is the point on doing some work and them shutting it down?
To me the park could use some renovations on the attractions, but they yet have a lot to offer.

What happens to all the animals and the research? This is troubling.
Joe
Dear lord you are d u m b
Joel Scollo
I understand the need to replace certain attractions to perk the interest of vacationers. Be careful. It can be taken to far.
Danny B
They aren’t closing the entire park.
Verna

John
5 bucks says that you will then complain that they aren’t doing anything to update the place…can’t make people like you happy.
Mark
Agreed. We used to go every year. Stopped in 2022 due to construction. It’s lost its magic
Gerry
What is Disney going to ruin next

This is ancient news.
Karen
A couple of wheelchair friendly rides.
Kai
Their not closing or changing animal kingdom to be something else… It’s just the rides….
Firebolt
No, you can’t do that
Marie
Yeah….right. Those new sections will blend right in. Sure they will …. And safari not included, Dinosaur was the best ride at that park. What are you taking out next, Disney, the animal safari?
Michael S
In fairness …. Dinosaur (or Countdown to Extinction for us old folks) was always just a reskin of the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyland.
Michelle
Encanto wasn’t a good movie, so why bother building a ride for it? There are so many better movies to choose from. This is such crap!
Dana
Encanto was/is a great movie! Love the music, the colors, the characters. Glad to see it being represented.
Summer
Gotta appease the drones.
Lin Manuel Miranda is to composing as Hersheys is to chocolate. Cheap, stupid, appealing to the non-discriminating childish masses.
Summer
Gag me. Encanto was such a hyped-up fluffy pc box checking blip.
Barney
Can do without the Encanto area. A horrible woke movie
Adriana
