On your next Disney vacation, you might not notice the Frontierland cowboys moving through secret corridors in and out of the park. You’ll probably never see the Imagination Studios where designers fuse animatronic robots together or the Disney Artist Studios where painters and woodcarvers craft the hand-crafted signs for the next attraction.
You may not know what attractions are planned for 2009 or who is CEO of the Walt Disney Company, but you can be sure that there is a great team of Disney executives working behind the scenes to make your family’s trip the ultimate experience. of a lifetime.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the Disney Company is pulling the strings behind the scenes. When guests enter Disney World Orlando, Tokyo Disneyland, or one of Disney’s many “empires,” the illusion becomes real.
All worries and worries just cease to exist for people on their Disney family vacation, which is exactly how Walt and Roy Disney envisioned it. Like any business, there’s competition, and with Universal planning a new Simpsons attraction and a Harry Potter theme park, the Walt Disney Company knows it must continue to develop or be left in the dust.
There are several projects undertaken by Disney for 2008-2009. In California, the Mark VII monorail is being developed to help transport people between parks and new attractions for the ailing Disneyland California park, including Walt Disney Plaza, Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color and Little Mermaid Under the Sea Adventure.
Walt Disney World Orlando is renaming Disney MGM Studios Hollywood Studios and is adding an American Idol attraction and Spaceship Earth is undergoing a renovation at Epcot. The last major addition at Disney World Orlando was the 2006 $100 million Mount Everest roller coaster set in Animal Kingdom. Tokyo Disneyland will also add the Monsters Inc. Ride and Go Seek attraction.
Perhaps the most anticipated new attraction is Toy Story Mania which is being developed for both US parks. On this ride, guests will board vehicles and navigate through a midway carnival, stopping at various 3-D virtual reality game screens. Disney World executives hope to satisfy people’s expectations and desire for instant gratification by greeting guests waiting in line with costumed cast members and a million-dollar singing animatronic, Mr. Potato Head.
Once inside, Toy Story characters like Bo Peep, Woody and Piggy Bank will be the operators of the carnival. “We see it as a game meets immersive storytelling,” explained one of the designers.
Over the years, package deals have been getting a bit more appealing to appeal to the budget conscious. Consider that some Disney World vacation packages that include a Disney resort room, dining plan, and park ticket start at $79 per person, which is less than the cost of a park admission ticket! !
The “no expiration date” ticket option also appeals to many families, allowing them to return again and again. Throughout the years, the Walt Disney Company Imagineers have stayed true to their original dream: to provide memorable, fun and educational vacations for families, spanning up to three generational lines!
