News Round Up 2017

I'm thrilled about this!!

We once bought a Christmas tree skirt in Downtown Disney and got all the way home before realizing it had a security tag on it. That tag remains today...

Don't you have a Disney store nearby? They should've been able to take it off. I'm sure it doesn't matter at this point though.

 

[rteetz]

I think that is such a cool idea and the point crude looks really neat!

Yes, they are supposed to have more as each gets filled. I'd love to participate in this.

Have you checked. It probably would go for big bucks on EBay

Any indications on FP connections?

Not yet.

 

[MommaBerd]

I really hope they theme these, especially for stores like the Emporium.

Me too...

I just realized that for me, it sort of symbolizes a loss of innocence. I know theft occurs at WDW, and this is a glaring reminder of reality.

Dang, we will just miss it...

Please, please, please tell me there's truth to demolishing the tomrrowland speedway?

In a perfect world, we'd see Tron there. Just sayin.

my little nephews are going to be crushed. Literally their #3 ride in the park. was my #2 when I was their age. not everything in the magic kingdom needs to be for adults.

Well if the full plan for the tomorrowland renovations happen then it likely would go. However Disney hasn't gone with the full plans for anything in the last 20-30 years.

It's being demolished in both Hong Kong and Tokyo, and if they were to expand Paris' Tomorrowland in the future, it would likely go away over there as well. I'm sure they have considered the possibility of getting rid of the American versions as well, though with the Honda deal going on in California, we'll have to wait and see.

I personally believe that the Tomorrowland Speedway occupies a lot of space, it's noisy and smelly, and you can find something similar in many local parks around the country. I wouldn't mind if something else was being planned for that space.

 

[Fantasia79]

It's a lot of space and dated. Go kart parks are everywhere. Certainly smells around it as well.

@luisov agreed.

There's plenty of concepts that are great for both audiences. The speedway doesn't even have to be replaced but it most certainly needs an update to the vehicles at the bare minimum. This is a good, small-scale opportunity for imagineering to really wow us.

I would like to see it stay at Disneyland with updates, like electric cars.

At WDW, I'd love to see them get something unique. Maybe Wreck it Ralph themed? Or another IP...And based on the amount of space, they may be able to put in more than one new ride, like what is happening in Tomorrowland Disney Tokyo.

Are you serious? MK has more kiddie rides than all the others combined. Aladin, Dumbo, Pooh, teapots, carousel, Jungle Cruise, Buzz, Pirates, and Astro Orbiter. Tomorrowland speedway needs to go.

I loved the Speedway as a kid. It was so much getting to drive the cars. I'd prefer Disney to update the attraction before getting rid of it completely.

 

[buteraa]

I like the concept of the speedway but it would be nice to have updated car technology or a different theme. Kids love it.
