Personally I really hope there is some REALLY WEIRD curveball announcement about something
Because there’s a lot of things I am almost 100% positive will be announced or at least mentioned, but I think it would be funny if they were like “oh yeah also we heard you all asking for stuff with the peoplemover…. So we are bringing back the rocket rods” or something ridiculous like that
But things I’m positive will be mentioned are an opening date for Tiana’s, stuff about the avengers ride, since apparently stuff was on display about that, and like… it isn’t AS certain for me if they will do it but since there is like a whole booth dedicated to avatar I’m sure they’re going to bring up things about the avatar experience they are bringing to Disneyland!
I feel like there will be a lot about the 70th for Disneyland as well since that is next year
I feel like it isn’t LIKELY but I would like them to say something about plans for the Tomorrowland theater area and/or the launch bay lower floor, because if we aren’t getting a new Tomorrowland at least like
Fill the empty spaces there with SOMETHING
And same for Wdw Tomorrowland I would hope there would be an announcement for something to fill the stitch/alien encounter show space
But also for wdw I feel like there will be announcements about beyond big thunder and the dinoland retheme!
Share your DPEP panel predictions with me!!!

My first thought was doing something with a single-rail coaster and theming it to being like some sort of vine or something, going with like a jungle vibe, and the cars being some sort of snake or something? Not the most original idea but I feel like it could be made to look really awesome even if it is just the most simple thing
Or alternatively going candy themed and making it that like it’s like some sort of wacky candy contraption and the track is like made up of licorice and other candies
You’re gonna build a rollercoaster, it cannot be themed to a mountain/train but the track needs to be fully themed and justified in the environment/story. What are you building?

During construction, Epcot Center's Japan pavilion was planned to have an attraction called "Meet the World"! The attraction got far enough in development to have the theater be built but due to structural and budget constraints it was never finished.
#meet the world#epcot center#Epcot world showcase#japan pavilion#defunct#:I mean it never opened fully so idk if the defunct tag is accurate but hey:

I may not have been able to ride the peoplemover or rocket rods BUT I have bonked my head on the track so I think that counts for something, right?
#defunct ramblings#peoplemover track#peoplemover#rocket rods#:there is a low clearance part of the track where part of the car storage for Autopia is:#:and while I was training I straight up bonked my head on it:

A lot of life changes have been happening for me (basically all good!) and I’m at a point where I can actually start to do stuff again so
I’m planning on completely redoing the extinct attractions iceberg since the thing is like…3 years old now and a lot of things have changed since then and there’s a lot about the iceberg that I feel I could have done better (specifically that first tier, seeing YourEverydayTheorist like, tell everyone to skip it and stuff, is so valid lmao)
And with that happening I will finally make a video on it too
I’m trying to remind myself that this video is literally going to be something I’m doing for fun and to infodump on one of my favorite subjects and not something that I’m doing to like get a huge following or something… and also like it’s not too late to make content on these things because yknow what people will still watch and enjoy it, and maybe I’ll get to meet new people who also are like obsessed with Disneyland history
#defunct ramblings#:the hyperfixation also returns because D23 is coming up and I’m working it again!:#:honestly also the whole thing with the possible strike we were gonna do was stressing me out a lot:#:and that plus the heat wave going on had made me unable to do things for a bit:

I am a little bit sad that I won’t be working the opening day of Fantasmic
But it’s because I’m going to be on a cruise so, I’m not TOO sad
Still so excited that my show is coming back and I can’t wait to work it!

I’m the worlds biggest fan of RX-24
Claim yourself as the biggest fan of an animatronic. I for one am the #1 fan of Horizons Octopus
#defunct ramblings#I know there prob exists someone who loves him more than me but yknow what he is MY BOY and I LOVE HIM#close second is the emotional attachment I have built to BIRD from Autopia#specifically the one where he is spinning on the metal kite

The Disney characters in Disneyland at least feel like they belong there, mostly, and still fit the theme of it being around the world? While I like the idea of the marvel characters in the small world art style aesthetically… it really doesn’t fit in fantasyland , and especially doesn’t fit with the whole idea of small world… with how beautifully themed things in the Tokyo parks are, it’s weird that they decided this for a marvel overlay?
Marvel's taking over Tokyo's Small World for six months this winter. Not a fan of this, at least the Disney characters had a "Fairy tale adapted characters placed in their countries of origin" angle for the most part.

disneyland asks - 20
20. An unpopular Disneyland opinion
Okay I’m not sure if it is truly an unpopular opinion but like…
I feel like at this point Frontierland in its current state is just kinda boring?
Like yes we have big thunder and I LOVE big thunder but… that’s basically it.
While the Colombia and Mark Twain board at Frontier Landing, they are considered New Orleans Square attractions technically.
It’s kinda the same sort of situation that Critter Country is in right now where the only thing at this moment is Pooh (and I guess the canoes but River™️ attractions are their own class in my mind)
And the thing about Frontierland too specifically is like… I don’t know what they CAN do to add more to it…
Idk if this is even an opinion at this point or just a ramble lol
