  2. Controversial opinion here… I don't like the skyliner. It's extremely ugly, cheap, closes down in thunderstorms, constantly stops, it's hot as hell. Disney should really have built a new monorail line, maybe even one that was reimagined to have individual cars like the skyliner…But no, modern Disney always chooses the cheaper option now. Face it, the sky liner is hideous with it's high unpainted, unthemed, huge support towers, exposed cables, pulleys. The way it ruins Caribbean beach I can't stand.

  5. My personal opinion as a tourist, I don’t like the idea of wasting the Toy Story lot acreage on a Disney Springs area. That land has been zoned for theme park use since the 90s and I would far prefer a 3rd gate on that property over anything else. As a tourist I can’t think of a single thing they could put in a Disney Springs type area that would entice me to go over there rather than being in the parks riding rides and watching shows. Also I still want a Value resort for DLR. at one point the Grand Californian was the deluxe and Paradise Pier and Disneyland Hotel were both Moderates.

    If I were given the ok to do anything I wanted to build out DLR, I’d finally acquire the GardenWalk property and use that as Downtown Disney East. That property is the missing link to connect everything. I’d make the Toy Story lot a 3rd gate, I’d ditch the tram and replace it with the Peoplemover system going from Mickey & Friends/Pixar Pals to the current Monorail Station, then over to the esplanade. Then I’d set up a 3rd piece of the Monorail station as a Skyliner, have that go over to Eastern Gateway, then down to the 3rd gate. Basically the existing monorail station would become a new Transit Center housing all 3 modes, the Skyliner would load parallel to the Monorail but towards the DTD shops side and the Peoplemover would be on the parking lot side.

  7. I just can't help the feeling that most of that 60B is going to get dumped into cruise ships, and comparatively little doled out to the parks. Oh, they'll get a few things… but i don't think Disney is as worried about Epic Universe and that DreamWorks park as they should be. The more crowded, expensive, and logistically convoluted Disney gets, the more people are going to look to their competitors. You can only coast on nostalgia for so long…

  8. Hey Dallin, ‘great video but as much as we’d all love to get excited about their potential, could be, might one day materialize plans, it’s painfully clear that Disney has become the boy who cried wolf!!! We will not believe a thing until we see it.

  9. This is very exciting to hear but at the same time … a little terrifying bc i have lost a lot of faith in Disney creating something I really like over the past [checks watch] decad..?! It's been a lot of hype followed by "oh this is shoddier than I expected" lol. I do like Pixar Pier though! And Galaxy's Edge is immersive, i just don't like Star Wars that much. Avenger's Campus' theme is boring though, especially when compared to A Bug's Land before it. I don't even care that it was a kids area I did nothing at… they did a really good job at making you feel like you shrunk down to the size of an ant! …but I'm incredibly biased to the vibes of early California Adventure soooo yeah

    I love me some public transportation though so i can't wait to see what they do there! Fingers crossed on using peoplemover technology! I'm afraid of heights and specifically the Disney monorail and i wanna be able to ride the new stuff lol

  11. last year I went to Disney World with my family and repeatedly told my Dad that People Mover is the best ride in the park. I went on it several times and each time wished the one at Disneyland was still operational.

  14. This is how the third gate issue has been explained to me by people who work with Disney. (I'm going to use letters to better decipher this but Disneyland is Park a, California adventures park is b and the new park will be called Park c for this example)
    You can buy a ticket for Park a and that will include entrance to Park c. Or you could buy a ticket for park B that would include the entrance to Park c. Now if you're planning to exit into Park a or b from c that's when you'll have to scan your ticket, only exiting into one of the previous parks. If your pass is for b&c and you try to enter a it will prevent you from going there but Park c is going to be treated as an in-between that right now is included with a single park pass no matter the park.😂

    It just feels like to much lol

  19. I think this expansion is actually two expansions, each being a new land for DL and DCA and they will be physically isolated from one another except via ticket gates. You can see on the sound color map from the Disneyland hotel to Downtown Disney a dotted red area with lines connecting, these signifies high traffic walking area, you can see it on the streets outside the park except the dots are larger since cars make more noise than people. Then on either side (north and south) of that pathway from the Disneyland hotel to DTD there is another pathway of sound and more importantly a choke point with buildings on either side of it, as in this could be another gate to either DL or DCA via these new lands, but you can't access the other side unless you have a park hopper ticket so it allows people to enter that way as well. Notice there is a rather large area of "quieter" around that pathway from the hotel? Almost like a big open plaza similar to the one between DL and DCA which will typically be a quieter area as people don't tend to congregate there. And most importantly it allows people staying at their hotels to have almost instant access to these other lands, again simply extensions of the other parks, I would see this similar to that gate at Epcot that allows you instant access to the back of the park.

    Now how they have a pathway from the parks over Disneyland Drive to this expansion I dunno, that would be a rather long walk from either park, Peoplemover anyone?! 🤣

    Ultimately this project is too "small" to be a separate park, now they could go full Universal with the Hogwarts Express and make these expansion lands only available if you have the park hopping option on your ticket. But I don't even think Bob Chapek would be that greedy… yeah he would.

  23. Perhaps scanning, isn’t an issue anymore. They could use facial recognition. Which is actually fairly easy to implement, and at the same time, they be able to rationalize cameras and monitoring. The other possibility is they scan a chip placed in your hand or your forehead
