Excited about Disney
|
I like warm hugs
Let's be honest we all knew this was going to happen soon enough... Frozen is based in Norway and I really believe Disney will keep most of the tradition of Norway in the new ride plus people might actually stop and watch and appreciate then short film at the end (that's if they still keep it) Disney is a business so of corse they are going to go Frozen mad ! But agree that Cinderella's Castle should be kept as it is and not feature Frozen ice castle Personal I think they should have more in the United Kingdom at Epcot, the main feature is the Rose and Crown! Yes we do like a good drink but there is a lot more that can be done and last time we went there was nothing to do with Wales there!

The backlash on twitter over this is amazing... seems to be some real disgust over this.
I don't think people are that bothered that it's Maelstrom that's going... more that the spirit of Epcot, or in more particular the World Showcase is being destroyed. I have to say with the recent announcements over the live entertainment acts that are being axed too, there is obviously a new direction that they want to take the World Showcase into. Part of me is sad - the world showcase is different - its not your typical theme park area, instead its rich in culture and creates a unique atmosphere with its architecture, acts, restaurants and bars that you can't really find anywhere else. That being said, I've often longed for more attractions and rides to compliment it. Not really sure that Frozen is it? Or Ratatouille in France? But can't help but feel that's the way this is all heading... what's next? When was the last time Disney built a ride that didn't have a movie or character tie in? Everest?

I think with the popularity of frozen that a ride is a good idea, however I think the world showcase should be based on the actual world rather than a fantasy world from a film. Good idea, wrong place in my opinion!

So does that mean 'unpopular' equals 'longevity'?
Tatty? Really not the word to describe a shrewd commercial decision and one that is long overdue. Let's not forget that for most every Princess there is a Prince or is it wrong to encourage boys to aspire to behave like a Prince now? Seems like WDW can't do right for doing wrong ,one minute everyone's complaining of no new attractions or investment,next complaints of changes and inconvenience because of investment.

I expect the Disney justification for the Christmas castle light up is that officially it's not "Cinderella" castle (I'm sure I will be corrected if I'm wrong but I'm also sure I've read that somewhere) as for frozen in Norway... It would be nice to think that they keep the essence of maelstrom,just give it a frozen twist as Anna and Elsa' s homeland (after all I don't think Donald duck is Mexican but that ride works!)As opposed to it being the frozen ride iykwim. But I have finally seen the film a couple of weeks ago... I don't see why everyone thinks it's so great either.

Epcot, and especially WS, is unique in not relying on characters. This is a slippery slope which will see the heart of Epcot ripped out, and eventually will become a "me too" park...homogenised and devoid of original ideas.

That's very true and a very good point, but they don't give much if any time to the prince's do they? When we went last year, my daughter said oh disney must have loads of Prince stuff please bring back some...(My grandsons full name is Riley-Princenothing to do with me!) but there was nothing. The closest I could get was a shield and sword in the toy shop in Germany in world showcase, but I didn't buy it as it could've come from the gift shop in any castle over here! There wasn't even a picture frame,a t shirt or bedroom sign or something with Prince charming written on it.

I don't mind the ride so much but replacing the Fairy Godmother with Elsa just seems a bit sad - it's throwing out an old classic character who doesn't really get much attention to replace her with a character that, whilst I like her, is everywhere at the moment!

I have no interest in 'Frozen' as I have no little girls and I love Epcot for what it is! They already spoilt the mexico ride with those awful ducks keep frozen to the MK or Studios ..
I am only getting WDW tickets this year for the F&W festival and they are removing lots of my favourite things already! Off Kilter, Fife and drum and the band in UK .. I think this will be my last visit to WDW too money grabbing and penny pinching now imho
