At least for the first six months anyway

Probably in the second half of the ten year plan.

Did that rumor run dry? Last I heard it was still on the docket for future magic kingdom expansion.

Insiders have said it's on the table. But since it wasn't part of the D23 five-year plan announcement, don't expect it until the currently announced ones are done, I would guess.

Are we even still getting Moana?

Weren’t the relevant surveys here TP surveys, therefore not Disney? Idk if I’m misremembering

I don’t understand what your issue with this survey is. Left to right? If it was right to left you’d complain it’s the last thing they read so they’d click it first. Secondly, as far as I’m aware, most applications of these surveys consider anything below “Excellent” to be a failure, so having 3 positive options isn’t 3 chances for these surveys to “succeed” it’s 2 options to miss the mark and 2 options to fail, and 1 option to pass. You’d rather people answer surveys about super specific details (bathroom amenities, shows, lounges, etc.) after a couple months when they forgot it? Two months later you’re probably not going to remember a random soap smelled bad, but you’ll remember that you liked the food at a restaurant, but was it day 2 or 6? You don’t remember because it’s two months later. Secondly, if you do multiple days at Magic, you want to be surveyed shortly after that specific visit, because a second visit might have a separate level of staffing, attendance, etc. or if they’re running a test, you might respond about one day when the survey is tied to another day. Of course there’s limitations in surveying, but it’s naive to suggest your alternative captures (or is attempting to capture) the same thing. The people creating surveys and people requesting surveys are two different groups. As I said before, there are biases that are inherently human and are hard to minimize, but there’s not a huge conspiracy about an exec wanting a survey to say one thing and then that survey gets created. If a survey topic has an obvious answer, the surveyors bias is hard to minimize, so that obvious answer might lead to a skew in results from the provided options, but that’s human surveying limitations, not a grand conspiracy.

I definitely don’t want them to clone the ride from California. If they use that ride system here they should use it for Moana.

I'd love it, but probably hoping for too much. But the park needs at least one more ride (especially an indoor, less intense one that won't shut down due to weather) after what is already announced so I'M hoping DAK gets at least the TLK or Pandora ride at some point in the near future in addition to the return of a nighttime show.

doctornick22 hours ago

We absolutely do. One reason is because that part of the park is fairly isolated and having only two attractions there generally leads to people automatically waiting for both because they've made the effort to go there and it is annoying to cycle back. And that is a big contributor to the long waits and subsequent disappointment for folks with NRJ. NRJ needs to be the filler third attraction in Pandora, not a second one which needs to hold its weight. Now I think a high quality walk through with AAs could potentially work as a third attraction in Pandora, especially as that would essentially be a walk on/anytime type experience. But the area would really benefit from another ride and the one going into DCA seems like it would be great to compliment DAK's offerings.

I would love that - don't recall much chatter about that being something considered but would be cool if that was made a more complete ride

Jungle book. That’s all I’m going to say.

id rather they expand/redo KRR before adding a 3rd avatar ride. KRR is such a damn shame of a river rapids ride imo
