I'm going to have a hard time watching Buzz and Woody playing in the jungle.

I'm not so sure how well this plan would work out. In a couple of weeks, I'm taking someone to Disneyland who hasn't been in 14 years! I got so excited about all the new attractions he'll get to experience that have been created in that decade-and-a-half.


Oh ... wait.



He missed nothing.


Buzz Lightyear? The re-do of 1959's Sleeping Beauty Walk-thu? Re-do of 1959's Submarine Voyage? Get my drift?

From the point of view of someone that missed the 80's and 90's at Disneyland, the first trip back in that long is all about nostalgia anyway.

That's how it was for me when I toured the park with NA in 2005 for the first time since approximately 1976. A memorable day!

I'm not sure what you're saying. It reads to me that you're saying my plan to require redevelopment every 15 years wouldn't work because Disney hasn't been adding much new stuff?

And you may not like it but they did add an entire new park in that window.

I think the movie should just be about Mowgli, Baloo and Baghera on a cruise.

Under your 15 Year plan, would Pirates have to be completely replaced with say an attraction based on "The princess and the Frog" or stay as Pirates but be redesigned from scratch?

Completely new thing.

Experience Pirates in the 15 year window or just hear about how you missed something wonderful.

I know it makes me an oddball but I find it kind of depressing that if I don't ride Pirates this year I'll just go ride it 30 years from now. Plus you eventually fill up the park with historic successes and eventually can't change anything significant because of the nostalgic inertia. And when they try, if it isn't an unassailable success the calls are immediately go put back what was there before. I'd prefer a culture of "oh well, we tried, on to the next thing..."

Maybe that worked when Walt Disney would have a new attraction up within a year.

On to the next thing ..... bring your grandchildren to see it.

They could alway burn down 1/3 of the park, market the rebuilding process, build an excellent new attraction with the insurance money and have the best attended year in 38 years.
