The Disney Blog

The Disney Blog Not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company Since I'd been blogging personally since 1998, it was a natural thing for me to do. That door is always open.

The Disney Blog is written by fans for fans and covers all aspects of the Walt Disney Company, the Disney family, their history, fans, and related organizations. The Disney Blog started in 2004 when I looked around and saw that while there were excellent Disney Travel Planning websites, no one was covering the whole company in the blogosphere. The Disney Blog is written by fans for fans and covers

all aspects of the Walt Disney Company, the Disney family, their history, fans, competitors and related organizations. As the company has grown and added ABC, ESPN, Pixar, The Muppets, Marvel, and lately Star Wars and other Lucasfilm properties, we've added those to our coverage too. If any of those topics interest you, we'd love to have you as a guest blogger. The Disney Blog is in no way affiliated with the Walt Disney Company

It's been 32 years since EPCOT Center was renamed Epcot, and yet people are still calling it by the original name. The power of a great brand. What other old names for things do you still use at Disney's theme parks?

You can't build another Notre-Dame or Sagrada Familia. Those are singular world heritage sites. So it makes sense that they require reservations to attend, but Disney could build more theme parks anytime and anywhere it wants to meet the increasing demand for high quality immersive themed entertainment. Is the planned Dubai Yas Island park enough? It's already been 10 years since Shanghai opened.

If you had Tinker Bell's magic wand, where would you put the next Disneyland?

Name an unwritten rule at Disneyland or Walt Disney World you wish more guests would know and follow!

Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A. represents turn-of-the-century America, an era of technological progress and societal change and just 50 years prior to the park’s 1955 opening. If a new park opened today with that same nostalgic time jump, it would be set in the 1970s and '80s. Also a similarly transformative era of technological and societial change.

In this modern retro-park, Main Street is a suburban shopping mall, Frontierland covers the personal computer boom and information economy, Fantasyland is comic book heroes & villains, and Adventureland is '70s space opera. Only Tomorrowland stays the same, maintaining its optimistic gaze toward space and the future.

If this new Retro Kingdom Main Street represented an '80s suburban mall, what classic storefront or restaurant absolutely needs to be there?

What else would you like to see in this park?

Waiting for work to finish on Cinderella Castle repaint so we can have our moat back... maybe we'll get that lazy river we were promised a few April's ago.

The Walt Disney Company is riding on the success of its theme parks and cruises. The parks division president even runs the entire company now. An inversion of the model Walt himself invented.

Vacations represent social currency and status affirmation and Disney through some planning and a lot of luck has risen to the top of the must-do list. Why is this so?

In this TedTalk I will....

The current slate of expansion at Walt Disney World is setting up a new Disney Decade for the theme parks, but the second half is completely unannounced. What are the five new themed attractions you would add to the parks, ESPN WWOS, or Disney Springs to seal the deal as one of the greatest decades ever.

Here are mine:

1. Down Under in DAK. A ride though the scenery and animals (land & sea) native to Australia (exit into aquatic experience with a giant reef full of life).
2. A 3rd Star Wars Galaxy's Edge attraction (speeder bikes racing coaster with giant show building perhaps) at DHS and that dinner show idea they wrongly put in the hotel.
3. A classic New York studio stage style jazz/blues nightclub at Disney Springs with more shops and dining renovating Disney Village area.
4. Port over the Beauty and the Beast attraction from Shanghai and move iasw to EPCOT to add walkway and fix Fantasyland flow after Villains land.
5. Expand Disney Skyliner / Peoplemover routes to MK, DAK, ESPN WWOS, various resorts, and new train station connection to airport.

Ambitious enough? I'm greedy and think we still deserve that indoor theater that was announced for Magic Kingdom too.

World of Disney at Disney Springs is selling out of the Anzellan shoulder rider plush at a rapid pace. Definitely some of the best characters in The Mandalorian & Grogu.
