Well... Some not so great news here. Its now being said this will be affecting the DHS budget. It shouldn't affect toy story much but what comes after with Star Wars and the possible phase 3 or 4 is really what it could hurt.
You're kidding right?Hey maybe they can reopen C Canyon, Lights Motor, S Dangerous and A Idol instead of the planned expansions. That way we are back to a great park again.
I would hope to think that they aren't dumb enough to take money away from Star Wars because they are going to make a ton off of that. I'd rather toy story land be getting cuts.So this is hitting Disneyland too. And a 20% cut is substantial even if it's just from "non-profit centers" because then you're talking about all the nice extras. Customer service, Streetmosphere etc.
I think the future of Phase 3 (the one that had future budget set aside but not announced) really hangs in the balance at this point. It would be such an easy pot of money to dip into...

I would have more faith in that if I didn't see constantly how Frozen has been shortchanged. They will build all of it but they can cut back in many ways.I would hope to think that they aren't dumb enough to take money away from Star Wars because they are going to make a ton off of that.

That is true. I'd rather them raise prices already to help off set costs. I just hope they figure something out to make it work. This could potentially be very bad if it only continues.I think both of those are safe because they've been announced and are underway. There may be some penny pinching but we'll basically get what they promised.
Phase 3 is a whole other story, nothing was ever said about that publicly.

Based on Hong Kongs big losses this past year it's hard to be optimistic about how Shanghai will perform.Don't worry, they'll do that too!
This could be a temporary thing though. With Pandora only having another year to completion that drain will be gone and if (big if) they can open Shanghai successfully then they start drawing revenues there.

Most of those were filler at best. DHS hasn't ever been a "great park".
I would argue otherwise. I had a ton of fun there in 1991. How it would hold up to repeat visits, I don't know because I didn't go back until 2009. I thought the working studio elements were a blast, especially the animation area.
I think Toy Story and Star Wars will be fine. I think Epcot future world will continue to suffer greatly.
