IS THIS REAL?! Disney To Invest $60 BILLION at Parks...Or So They Say 

Concrete announcements coming in 2030, groundbreaking in 2050!!

Haha

Ahahahaha...yes exactly! Talk is cheap!

Blue sky plans to plans that may or may not happen! 😂

They are just trying to push investment and increase stock prices. Talk about what people want to hear

It took them a literal decade to build the Moana splash playground. And it's taking them 4+ years to build an Avengers store at DCA, in a building that's already built.

Disney now considers color coordinating the colors of the tiles in the bathrooms a major accomplishment.

They didn't like to have to spend it their selves.

and epcot STILL isn’t done omfg

@@squidward_tortelllini half of EPCOT was devoted to TECHNOLOGY, but that technology is already antiquated and obsolete. The countries are lame. They screwed Journey To Imagination. Disney should make Rob Reiner it's CEO - because he is the MEATHEAD. Whoever is making the decisions at Disney is dead from the neck up. I cant figure out what Disney's goals are. This is what happens when liberals take something over. They ruin it from top to bottom just to gain control over it.

Wakanda lemonade stand, need to squeeze some IP in there.

You’re right but I think it’s five ships not three at $1 BILLION apiece then adjust for inflation. This is really only about 45 billion spread out among all the parks etc.

About years ago, the Illuminations sponsor, Siemens, offered to pay for the monorails. Big Bad Bob turned them down.

Would be nice. However with money being tight, I don't see it happening. The ROI on new monorails would be almost non existent

Money being tight... Right. Something tells me when quarterly reports come out they'll still be doing fantastic in the parks sector.@@Millionaire2K

@@jonny-b4954 well investors don't care that just the parks are doing fine. The entire company is what matters. Just because parks are doing well doesn't mean you can spend freely in the parks. Spending on the parks needs to fuel growth in that division, this is why they were explaining why they plan to spend $60B over 10 years. Right now is not a good time to spend on low ROI projects as it don't help the company as a whole. I agree that new monorails are needed, I just don't think now is the time to spend that $. Spend everything on paying down debt and on high ROI projects.

The workers actually called them the monofails. I got stuck on them twice in one week missing a dinner reservation. It took two hours to get from a theme park back to Fort Wilderness and missed the dinner show. I would never book a hotel on a monofail route.

Tired of rehashed IP Just want some originality and something new

Villains land was well received at D23

@@zarajenkins6948 that’s fair. It’s not a land that’s based on one movie. Maybe that was part of the appeal.

Everything Disney has done at Disneyland recently has been pretty successful. The retheme of the former Aladdin's Oasis spot to Tropical Hideaway, Galaxys Edge, the new Tiana's Palace makeover of the former restaurant space, the new ToonTown makeover, etc. Disneyland is as busy and profitable as ever. Many times demand exceeds capacity. Adding stuff like Frozen would push that demand into overdrive.

Disney still most attended park in the world everyone compares the Florida parks but people also attend disneyland more than universal Hollywood. How bout we stop comparing and enjoy both. Once universal takes over disney then people will Hate universal to

@@davidantunez4147because one it’s actually doing what a business is supposed to do, cater to their customers. The other is trying to alienate them as much as possible. One deserves all the praise they’re getting and the other deserves all the criticism.

​@@davidantunez4147islands of adventure recently beat Epcot,animal kingdom and Hollywood studios so I think epic universe could also beat the magic Kingdom in attendance

@@frontierlandfrank5314exactly

People exaggerate this "Universal rivalry". The scales are night and day between Disney and Universal for parks, Boxoffice, streaming and IP. When we criticize Disney, we're grading it on Disney's curve. Take the box office, Disney leads and will finish the year on top both domestically & globally. If Disney at its lowest tops Universal at its best, what's gonna happen next year?

I don't think Disney understans that universal's theming is different from the Disney parks

Why does everyone bring up universal in disney videos do they want disney to fail? Then universal has no competition and people hate on it to?

Disney has been around a whole lot longer then universal theme parks.. they aren't worried about them at all

@@davidantunez4147 Universal just does not match up to the quality of Disney; I don't care how many rides they build.

Disney is not worried at all. They are clearly show it by not doing anything out of the ordinary. Everything planned was something that was expected to happen at some point or is the usual new thing. They don't really need to worry because tbh a lot of the universal parks are quickly aging and it looks ugly. Islands of Adventure, their strongest park is definitely showing its age between toon lagoon, jurassic park and Dr. Seuss. Universal is forcing in the same IP in 3 different parks. Universal still has problems with mostly screen based rides. This new park will cool, does not really scare Disney. The IP isn't incredible for a new park, the How to Train Your Dragons land is coming out about 8 years too late, Universal Monsters is strong but doesn't appeal to kids, Nintendo is easily the flagship, and no one cares about Fantastic Beasts enough for a whole land, it was just a desperate attempt to shoehorn more Harry Potter. (The Universal Cash Cow). Universal doesn't have the IP to build much themselves, every big and major land they do is someone else's IP that they had to buy. That's exactly why Disney isn't as terrified as people think they should be.

The lines are so long because despite being the most visited theme park in the world Disney World has 3 theme parks with 10 rides or less. Instead of adding new rides which increases capacity at parks like AK, HS, and Epcot they have mostly just rethemed existing rides never adding the capacity to my desperately need. Not to mention the ridiculous genie plus system that clogs up the standby line

they also are probably understaffed everywhere bc they don’t want to pay to have the right amount of cast members in the parks

I was in line for rise of the resistance for 2 hours. Usually its about an hour. But I found out they keep letting all lighting lane and Genie plus users go. And they make standby wait for way too long. They need to up their game.

​@BornYeti I waited in line 2 hours also for Rise- after my boarding group was called 40 minutes early! Had I known half my evening was going to be wasted I would have skipped it. NOTHING in WDW is worth a 2 hr wait! 45 minutes is about my limit. Genie + is awful- nothing but a cash grab.

@@Daisy-cj3og I couldn't agree more!

He's clearly full of S. Every time I've ever seen footage of him it's always empty nonsense.

Who does?

Breaking news! Some unknown internet person doesn’t like someone! Stop the presses

There's something slightly creepy about him to me.

Until they actually implement their ideas, what Josh or any of the other Disney reps say is absolutely worthless.

Entitled springs to mind 😂

@@rsmith8434 I agree, but as always some will defend being take advantage of.

@@zarajenkins6948 By having an opinion on something it makes you entitled? Ok sure. Go back to the woke left. I’ve spent more on Disney than you can imagine, so yes, I have an opinion and I can go elsewhere if they want to continue down this path. I’m not worried either way. And no one agrees with you it would appear 🤷‍♂️

😅Great play on words.

Great point. A bit like the refurbishment of Disney Hotels are given to outside companies. That's why they don't look like Disney Themed hotels anymore...

The problem with a reskin is that there's no growth. Without growth, you're not gaining capacity. More capacity=more money $$$$. The problem with magic kingdom is that it's the most visited park on the planet. If you look at the entire WDW resort, magic kingdom has more rides and attractions than all of the other parks combined. Disney should be focusing on the other parks and increasing capacity at those parks by increasing new lands and attractions. But they're not. But I can tell you that they don't have the money to do anything. The putrid state of the parks says all you need to know. Disney is dying and gasping for the last few breaths. I'm here to watch it die...the death it deserves.

@@thewalkingdad68 Again, you can't just say "hey let's expand AK" and the next day construction starts. It normally takes a few years of development to get a project ready to start construction. Disney does not want to just do reskins, theses are temporary answers to try to maintain attendance while the expansion projects are being figured out. Again, the COVID layoffs set back development of projects about 2-3 years. This is not Six Flags were they would just call up and order some rides.

I won’t believe it until it’s built

Disney has become very cheap over the last few years when it comes to things like customer service, maintenance and dining choices.

They won't age well. It's not a watchable movie. And it's not very merchandisable
