Re: The Imagineering Story (Disney+) -- docuseries

I hadn't thought of that. Is that how the visitor demographics break down, that Land is mostly locals and World is mostly travelers?

We are really enjoying this series. Every ten minutes or so we basically stop and have discussions about soaring and flying and dreaming in our work and lives and are amazed by what they've accomplished and tried to accomplish. Looking forward to more.

I figure this is going to be what, six episodes or so? Maaaybe seven?

Man. I haven’t thought about the Peter Pan ride in years, and after the fifth episode, I want to see the new version. That looked really cool.

Same here. That ride was always my happy place at WDW as there was nothing better after a long, hot day in the park then sitting back in that little pirate ship while being whisked through a cool, dark ride filled with soothing music and lots of little details to look at.

For the most part yeah. They hint at it in the series but that's why they built a second gate at Disneyland and the Downtown Disney area in order to make it a multiday visit so people would stay longer and spend more money. That's also why annual passes at Disneyland are so expensive and so restrictive.

Disneyland + pass
2 theme parks $1400
"Cheapest" $600

Walt Disney World Platinum pass
4 theme parks 2 water parks golf course and ESPN events $1300
"Cheapest" $520

The version they were talking about is the original in Disneyland. Again it being more of a local park they seem more willing to make these upgrades to attract people to come back whereas in WDW they seem to be a lot more lazy in terms of that. They are very slow if at all to "plus" the rides here in FL.

Well...maybe that's not entirely fair. They did put a new queue line in our Peter Pan's Flight that has some really cool interactive elements. I think they just ride on the fact that WDW is the most visited park so they don't try as hard.

Man, now I really wanna go on the Shanghai Pirates of the Caribbean and the Jules Verne Space Mountain (Tokyo?).

Oh, and Rise of the Resistance looks amazing.

That prototype Spider-Man robot they launched into the air and started moving around was awesome.

The final episode, which mostly covered the construction of Shanghai Disneyland was a solid wrap up to the series.

I attended the 2nd day of Shanghai Disneyland's opening weekend back in 2016 and was lucky enough to try the Tron ride, which was amazing. It was an insane 2 1/2 hour wait though, but worth it though. Lots of great memories from that day. I was already planning to travel to China that year, but coincidentally the new park was also opening the same time I was going. If you're wondering, the ticket cost me $70.

I also liked that they kept it pretty current and touched on Galaxy's Edge opening earlier this year. My mother has worked there the past 13 years and she got me into the early employee opening back in May before it launched to the public.

Some really good stuff covered in these 6 episodes. I'd love to see Disney + make more documentaries like this in the future. It's pretty awesome the scale of this series and that they always camera crews rolling.

I enjoyed this as well. We first went to Disney in the early 70s when I was little and was just awe-struck, took my kids there plenty of times when they were little ... planning on going to Disneyland (CA) in February. I have been to all of the parks except China. I think the behind the scenes stuff is cool. I was hoping they would show more of the mess that was the Tomorrowland re-do (Rocket Rods, etc) ... Some one off documentaries about specific rides/lands/people would be cool though.
