Have y'all forgotten that Carousel of Progress has changed many times since it opened? It's understandable to miss the current version, as it's filled with much love and history, but stop acting like it's untouchable because it's nowhere near how it was when it first opened.

@m3chpencil @theloshtv None of the houses have beaten the first one, which had so much love poured into it.

@ShawnNOrlando If you watch the video, he actually claims that Bluey does not ruin the park. He welcomes the addition while calling out those who think the park is ruined.

[Must go faster! @JPAdventurer]

@iamcg83 @ShawnNOrlando I'm already calling it. Sinners will be the best and biggest IP house this year. It's already the most hyped and has gained so much traction, so expectations will be high.

Bluey's Wild World is a major improvement over Rafiki's Planet Watch and is a refresh the Conservation Station has needed for a long time. The only sour note is losing the petting zoo and using VQ. Good luck on that, and Godspeed to CMs who will have to deal with angry guests.

@ScottGustin It's a great park! Highly recommend the historic coasters, zoo, and chocolate factory tour!

Closing the Disney Stores was always a stupid decision. It was a place for young kids to have a tactile experience with the Disney brand. But Iger bought into the whole “everything is going to be online in a couple of years” mantra.

Toy Story 5 hits theaters June 19. The villain is a kids' tablet that wants Bonnie to stop playing with her toys. It's modeled on a product called the LeapPad. Apple's iPad killed the LeapPad years ago.

LeapFrog made the LeapPad, and in 2003 they were doing $680 million in sales. Then Apple launched the iPad and LeapFrog couldn't keep up. Their sales collapsed. By 2016 they had to sell the whole company to VTech for $72 million. So Pixar's new villain is modeled on a product that already got wiped out by a bigger version of itself.

Real toys are losing the same battle. In the US, 47% of kids aged 0 to 8 own a tablet. So do 40% of two-year-olds. Kids between 5 and 8 spend about three and a half hours a day on screens. The toy industry is shrinking because of this. Hasbro's toy sales fell 12% in 2024 and another 10% in 2025. Mattel cut its forecast too. The whole industry that built Toy Story is in trouble while the tablet playing the bad guy keeps growing.

Pixar's own bank account looks the same. Inside Out 2 made $1.69 billion in 2024 and became their biggest movie ever. But their original movies keep failing. Lightyear lost $106 million. Elio opened to $21 million in June 2025, the worst opening in Pixar's 30-year history, and ended up losing money on a $150 million budget. Sequels are the only thing keeping Pixar profitable now. And Toy Story is the biggest sequel they have.

Surveys done in December 2025 had Toy Story 5 generating more pre-release excitement than any other 2026 movie, scoring 59% on interest versus a 40% average for family animation. Disney hadn't even started marketing it yet. And LeapFrog, the company whose tablet Pixar is making fun of, has licensed the Lilypad character. They're selling it as a kids' tablet to tie into the movie.

With the recent refurbishment of Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, we sadly lost an insanely great detail from the original. Do you know what’s different? Yeah, the picture of Zurg, but something even more obscure. Check out our article if you can’t spot it. Link in comments.

@RealJamesWoods There is one production you did not voice him in. Hades has one line in the Mickey's House of Villains song, "It's Our House Now!" and the line was recorded by Rob Paulsen. But still, kudos to you for voicing Hades in everything else!!!

Here's the song: https://t.co/CdCUl2UW6j

@BrerOswald That too. TBA has been in such awful shape for much of its existence and I rarely see anyone praising it anymore. Heck, I haven't been on in two years because of how much Disney has let it fall apart.

[Must go faster! @JPAdventurer]

@BrerOswald In the end, the parks are unfortunately a business and they will change things for $. Hattie is a popular character, so they shoved him into the ride. SOTS gradually got more bad press, so Disney saw fit to get rid of anything associated with it. Anything for their bottom line.

[Must go faster! @JPAdventurer]

@BrerOswald Hattie's placement is bad, no doubt, and the Imagineers didn't want this, but as a result they have to justify his placement with the lousy excuse that he's an "unhappy haunt" and while many fans have criticized this, some others have sadly embraced it. No care for integrity.

[Must go faster! @JPAdventurer]

@BrerOswald And to add to this, I was a Mansion fan before it was cool. Back when there was less merch and less lore in the attraction. Now we live in an age where new fans love deep backstory and so Disney makes changes to reflect that, even bad changes that the "fans" eat up.

[Must go faster! @JPAdventurer]

@cubanomachismo @Parkeology Agreed. The Pirate and Mansion photos are awful and pointless. The bright flash ruins the scenes.

@SplashFan2000 Me when people happily defend WDW's Hatbox Ghost.

How ironic that on the 35th anniversary of Muppet*Vision 3D, Disney shared some stuff from the attraction that made its way into the new Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

I don't think it was intentional that they shared any of it to coincide with the anniversary, btw.

[Must go faster! @JPAdventurer]

@ACal8971 @BrerOswald @BYUFlorida It's not bad, but the main reason why people are complaining is because Disney put a beloved IP on a roller coaster, something that many people can't ride unfortunately. My mother loves the Muppets and she can't ride this. If only...some kind of vision with 3D...were still here.
