It’s part of the event and but hopefully continues after.

Is this explicitly due to the event, or could it also be something recreation came up with surreptitiously?

As part of CKS Pop and Art have recreation hosts hyping up the Skyliner line in the mornings. It was a nice touch, they had chalk for kids to draw with, doing quick trivia’s for sticker prizes, bubble machine, park maps etc. Nothing crazy but it’s those little surprise and delight moments that add to the overall experience.

I don't think I did that...at least not recently. :hilarious:

I think it's more fun to share my opinion on things and listen to others opinions. I find that interesting. I don't see the fun in telling someone they are wrong because they have a different preference than you. I don't believe there is one right answer to these things.

For fun?

It's completely subjective. A Tomorrowland dance party is one of the few things my youngest remembers from those early trips to Disney. All of my children (and adults with them) had a blast. It was basic but fun. Again, different people like different things. It is not like there is one winning opinion. Why do people debate these things?

It is also more popular with adults with those kids. And has has not had a net addition in awhile.

I don’t know. I assume they have a reason. Maybe because MK is the most popular with kids?

Why don’t they replace attractions with the same frequency in their other, more cramped parks?

Chi841 day ago

I was referring to underutilized areas. If Tom Sawyer Island and ROA aren’t drawing people as they should, I can understand Disney not wanting to keep them. Even though the parks have a lot of room, people have somewhat limited walking capacity. You can’t blame Disney for replacing an attraction that isn’t used much instead of having people walk around it to get to an attraction they like. I don’t have anything against any particular attraction, but the ones that no longer resonate with guests are likely to get replaced. Goofy’s dance/play thing is not meant to replace any major attraction. It’s just a fun, temporary addition.

If Disney needs to increase capacity… why don’t they do that instead of constantly ripping out capacity before building? Which is likely to create more meaningful memories for more children - a dance party or Tom Sawyer Island? How is the Goofy thing superior to a Chucky Cheese?

I’ve said it before, but my kids love Tom Sawyer’s Island. Every time we’re there we see lots of other kids enjoying it too. But it’s a chore to get to and parents (myself included) don’t love not getting the most of what we’ve paid for lightning lanes. I think they could’ve made the island more accessible and attractive to non-kids by opening it earlier, sending characters out there (like at Disneyland), and actually utilizing the restaurant.

But wouldn’t it be better to increase capacity with new rides that are utilized and then add in new entertainment (okay maybe Goofy isn’t for everyone) or just some shady places in well-traveled areas where people can rest? I’ll miss seeing the water but I can understand why Disney needs things for people to do in its ridiculously priced parks.
