Twilight zone puts it over the top. Generic haunted hotel would be meh to me, but I’d be cool with a story like Tokyo Disney sea has.

Revamping it to an IP would be lame to me and I’d be sorely disappointed

AGREE!

Can we say - Maelstrom?

I have no issue at all with new IP in the parks, but I seem to hate the re-dos. My trip a couple of weeks ago while on FEA is like the grumpiest most pissed off I've ever been in Epcot, including when my ex called me a very un-Dis friendly word in the middle of Illuminations. I had to have a few cocktails just to get out of my grumpiness (like I needed an excuse!). Its a cute ride, but its no "spirit of Norway." I'm very much looking forward to GOTG in Epcot, but the re-themeing never works for me. That said, I'll try the new ToT in DL with an open mind, but I can't say I'll be happy about it. I'm still bitter about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride though, so what do I know? I hope they leave the DW version of ToT as the original.
 
I really like these new patents for Marvel rides. The possibilities are endless. First you have that mechanism that allows you to hurl a shield to different targets like Captain America does, and now this Spiderman ride vehicle that emulates Spidey's swinging sounds like a lot of fun. Wonder what kind of coaster they have prepared for GotG. Can't wait to see what they do with these properties.

Okay, fair point! The Six Flags by me (Magic Mountain) just got it this summer so maybe that has something to do with it.

And there are some kid-oriented rides that are done really well and appeal to me! Midway Mania just doesn't do it for me, but it's one of DH's favorites so I say to each his own :)

Of course! I have a hard time with screen rides with too much physical sets, its almost too jarring!

Star Wars/Lucasfilm will release the next Last Jedi trailer tomorrow night during Monday Night Football. Ticket sales will start right after that.

This is what they claimed 2 years ago for Episode 7. But even though I called the theater multiple times the day of to confirm that was correct, I went online during the game, before the trailer was shown, and the theater was already filling up.

They dropped about 30-45 minutes early then...

I honestly think that was industrial sabotage...as in the individual theater chains did that through fandango/etc to reap the full theaters first...

Don't really see that this time...but you're lesson should be learned...plan accordingly.

Oh wow, this is great! I think this will draw huge lines. I might need to swap my Fastpass for 7DMT for a Fastpass for this meet and great.... said absolutely no one ever. Seriously, this is such a waste of prime real estate. It is as if Stitch has now been given squatters rights on the place.

Disney really don’t have a clue what to do with the attraction otherwise they would just close it altogether and start a slow refurb on it. They could easily do the meet and greet outside

Not totally correct since GotG is coming to Epcot. There are some other Marvel IP they may able to use as well. Plus, contracts can change...not sure Universal would bend, but everyone has a price for things like this, so I wouldn't say it's absolute...

Just returned from a quick weekend trip.

To be very brief, I can't believe that F&W has turned into the behemoth that it has.

That is what has been propping up EPCOT?!

Ok, end very short rant.

I was there Saturday, and literally went to Guest Services to ask if CM's are trained to know when to "stop" giving someone alcohol. Every 10 feet, I was seeing at least one person that had way to much alcohol. I'm questioning ever coming back to Food & Wine again unless I could go on a weekday.

It's the B team...that's my point

You can't really build a marvel land without spiderman, the avengers, fantastic four and the xmen...

...that's what they got. It's one thing to use IP to strengthen your parks...quite another to "search" for it in your own catalogue.

With food booths almost year round now, you don't have to go during F&W to get the unique food options. I'd recommend the Festival of the Arts in January and February.

Although, it may mean more drunk Epcot guests now that they do the food booths almost year round.

We ran into quite a few of that as well, but it wasn't too bad. I'm surprised that people were even able to get drunk off of the $5 4 oz pours of boxed wine.........

We did realize that we would have to take the kids back to EPCOT during the day. Kind of like most downtowns.......
