This is going to be Disney's worst nightmare soon. Imagine the buzz this will have when it opens; instead, we get "Journey of Water" to look forward to (announced in 2019 - opening 2023?). Nothing in the pipeline to counter this. It's going to be a problem.

The loss of this was sad, and shouldn't have happened. I would have rather them expand the lobby out the back. Plenty of room out there to add some volume to the lobby, without destorying this. This was epic, and a really terrible loss.

If you ever saw this space in person you can smell it right now. It’s hard to believe but it’s already been 10 years since Disney changed the lobby of the Polynesian. Did you ever get to see the original rainforest? It’s iconic to us.

"This rant is essentially a plea to the organization as a whole to stop trying to be the Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Hilton, etc and go back to being Disney." - AMEN to that. That is exactly the problem. Once Disney becomes like everywhere else, it ceases to be special.

On a recent visit, I saw this statue of Roy. It made me remember how critical Roy was to buying and building WDW. Walt had the idea, but Roy made it happen instead of retiring. Glad they didn't forget him. Next time you're in the MK, stop and give a nod to this monument to Roy.

Sad to note the passing of Disney Legend Dick Nunis. Truly when he ran the parks everything was better. His contributions to Walt Disney World are legendary. Another loss of a connection back to Walt.

Dick Nunis ponders the "Euro Disneyland Hotel" during opening ceremonies. He had fought bitterly against it. Dick was a passionate believer in protecting Walt's vision and ran the parks like Rolex watches. To me, in many ways you were Disney! Passed at 91.

This is just bizarre. If they think the attraction was so evil that it had to be ripped out why would they give “subtle” nods to it? The fans of splash won’t be happy with just that (they want the attraction as it was), and if it’s “ok” enough to nod to then why rip it out?

There was a time when we had an actual vintage working penny arcade, a cinema, a real bank, and swan boats, all as part of the MS experience. It added a layer of charm and interest and made it feel like a real town before Disney felt everything needed to be turned into a shop.

When you look at the legends who were there, Eisner, Nunis, Card Walker, Roy E Disney - this was truly a high point in Disney's park history. We are so far from this now, and the execution has declined. It's scary - to go from this to what we have today. A better time.
