Being excited about new entertainment in WDW is like being excited about getting new rims on this car.

New entertainment for WDW is worth getting REALLY excited about!!! I personally love the entertainment already at WDW but i love to see new stuff to. I would especially love to see a new parade at the Magic Kingdom because it deserves something better than it has.

My analogy still stands. Fix all the things that need repairing before you add a parade.

I want rides and proper maintenance! I couldn't care less about parades or firework shows.

I have always thought the rides were very well taken care of. The only rides i have ever seen have problems are Its a Small World and The Great Movie Ride and the problems were only with the effects and such. I give WDW a lot of credit on how well the parks and rides are maintained.

I didn't mean ride maintenance, I meant maintenance around the park: In the 80's & 90's you couldn't find a surface that needed a fresh coat of paint...nothing was neglected. That's not the case anymore.

I understand what you are saying now. The first time i visited WDW was in 2000 so I never got to visit in the 80's or 90's. I think the only reason you see more neglected things now is that the resort is SO BIG (and constantly growing) that there is not enough maintenance people to keep up with the demand.

I have recently read that Steve Davidson has 3 big projects for the next 18 months at WDW and at least two of them should be announced at the D23 expo. They include...

- Fantasmic! reboot with a new concept, scenes and effects (early summer 12)

It needs an update. I bore with it and won't give that time to wait for it.

- New "mega parade" at the Magic Kingdom called Festival of Fantasy (spring 12)

They seem to change up parades more than anything. That is good.
- Upgrade or replacement of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot (late 12/early 13)

I've been going to EPCOT since it opened. Seen many versions. I've loved them all and like the variety.

I favor the attractions. Shows I can see a few times minus Illuminations that I never seem to bore with likely cause it isn't something I have to line up for. Parades have never been my thing and I can't stand the claustrophobic feeling watching them. I also become claustrophobic watching any version of the castle fireworks up close. To me, I am just as happy to look upward from the Ferry dock or the walkway from Space Mountain.

And I agree with Maintenance of the Parks, which it looks like they are trying to overcome. The parks did go through a long period where the bar slipped from the late 90's from paint to bushes to lawns. Attractions I've had my share of breakdowns. Space Mountain and Test Track come quickly to mind.

personally i think this goes back to the latter part of the Eisner era... keep in mind that in the late 90's it was the creation of AK that took alot of time, money and man power to construct... in the early 2000's it was managements general hamster wheel progress... after Frank Wells passed away, through the Michael Ovitz debacle and eventually the Bob Iger promotion it seemed as though Disney upper management was not going anywhere... and personally i believe the parks and animation took the brunt of this... in the last few years (really since Iger finally got his feet under him) it seems the parks have really taken steps forward... though it seems like recently there are tarps up all over, and construction across the resort i think fans and tourists alike will see a cleaned up park in the near future...
