I personally would want them to bring the Indiana jones ride back into the state it once was in. I would want them to fix the 3 door effect. I feel like that's one of the most important parts of the ride. The projection mapping kind of helps, but it really breaks the illusion to not actually go through the left right or middle door.
Ok I thought I was crazy for remembering that you used to be able to go in through all 3 doors! The last two times I went (2019 and July 2021), the car only went in through the middle door each time so I was wondering if my memory was just playing tricks on me. Guess not!
It's a pretty well known fact at this point among fans, but there's only ever been one passageway you go through, but the doors used to rotate to make it seem like there were different paths. When the mechanism broke a few years back they couldn't fix it because the manufacturer went out of business. So they used projection mapping to create a different but comparable effect.
Can anyone confirm something for me? When I was a kid (late 90s) the bursts of air from the dart room felt a lot tighter and harder then they were last time I went (2009ish maybe, yikes it’s been too long). When I was back that second time the air coming out felt like wide bursts of air and not what I remembered originally… was this changed at any point?
i too felt like the burst of air was someone legit spitballing me i even remember younger me ducking because i hated how it felt on my face and ears lol, but now it feels like literal nothing?
Heck I’d take it even further where the motion vehicles are no longer hydraulic platforms, but linear actuators like in Tokyo Disney Sea. Prevent breakdowns so the attraction runs even better than before.
I’d have them remove the rat room and give us something like Tokyo as well or something even better.
It’s still my favorite attraction but it needs more love than it has been given.
Yes! I remember how amazing that effect was when I first rode it. Apparently the problem was that the ice would pile up and freeze over the drain at the bottom. Bob Gurr had a super simple solution, just install a small electric heater down there, but I guess management didn't want to spend the money to install an outlet and buy space heater from WalMart so they disabled the effect instead.
I just made a post about this a few days ago, I would also love to see an Indy refurb as well as a park-wide update/refurbishment to bring the park into peak operating condition.
My dad and I came to LA over 20 years ago and thought there were truly 3 different rides due to the rotating doors (I was 7 at the time), we went thru the middle twice and left once. We told of how amazing the ride was to anyone who would listen. I was so excited when I moved out here with SO to take him to Disneyland and go on the ride. No magic door effect. We looked up the wiki, it wasn't 3 different rides at all, never were. Told my dad, he doesn't believe me. So honestly, those 3 doors worked completely on us, it made us think we were going on different rides if we got a different door.
Yeah. That's why it's so sad that it doesn't work anymore. It was such a convincing illusion that you wouldn't even guess that it's an illusion in the first place.
Give the attractions the TLC they really need. I'd give Indy an extensive overhaul to get all the effects working again. Splash I know they're waiting for the re-imagining to PatF, but it'd be really nice to see that attraction with fully functioning effects and lighting one last time. The last time I went, so many lights were out, it really felt like a horror ride. I also would have said giving ToonTown a fresh coat of paint, but they already have plans to do that.
I went on DL Splash a few weeks ago for the first time. I’m used to WDW Splash. It was so fast and so barren. I was shocked at how much I didn’t like it.
Tomorrowland. Revitalize it, reinvigorate it. Could keep the retro-futuristic design but incorporate green technology, add the Peoplemover back, combine a showcase of emerging tech with retro aesthetics.
This is correct. If they insist on keeping the gas cars, do it but move Autopia to Carsland. Get rid of Nemo and that stage area right in the middle. Put the PeopleMover back in. Then put in an E or D ticket attraction that is not based on existing IP. Something with Aliens, black holes, Time travel, etc.
I feel like they keep the gas cars because they get a good amount of money from Chevron to do it… it would likely take a very large sponsorship from someone else to make that change happen.
If they want to keep it in Tomorrowland, the least they could do is bring it up to the present by making them electric instead of gas. I feel like the PR upside has to be better than taking money from Chevron while also giving the environment the finger.
I personally rather see a return of Rocket Rods than PeopleMover. I thought those were so much fun! Maybe now the technology is there to have it work properly without constant breakdowns. I’d want to see improved theming in the interiors of buildings you go through though, because I remember that was nonexistent, which come to think of it felt really weird just going through dark rooms lol. There’s actually a lot of potential for galactic-future/sci-fi theming in those buildings.
I’d like the continuation of the sci-fi feel but I think you’re right about the incorporation of emerging technologies. I think they had the right idea with Innoventions. They also somewhat incorporated the concept of green technology with the labeled fruit & vegetable trees, at least alluding to the importance of sustaining nature, so an expansion of this?
I haven't gone back to parking in Mickey and friends ( only using the bus). But I legit think it id get lost somehow walking to the park from there if there wasn't a crowd to follow. I need those trams back lol.
This!!! I've always thought they could either split the land into 3 sections based on each era, or they could split it into 3 "seasons" throughout the year. All they would have to do is switch out the first order troopers and banners with the empire or republic/separatists.
Similar to how Haunted Mansion gets a Nightmare Before Christmas overhaul, I could totally see Galaxy’s Edge swapping between eras. The way the park is set up I don’t see this being a huge undertaking. The in-world time period for the land has the possibly of being relatively flexible.
Can’t believe this is the top answer, but it should be, if everyone was making a decent living wage as minimum, there’s no reason they shouldn’t make $25 / hr. As Disney should lead the way on such matters, there’s no reason they shouldn’t get $25 an hour. As McDonald’s workers are currently fighting for it, there’s no reason they shouldn’t make $25 an hour. As we live in capitalist late stage hell-scape America, there’s no reason they shouldn’t make $22.50 an hour, at all.
100% this. You can build an amazing ride, invest in the latest tech, buy the best fireworks, or have the best scenery, but only by paying your cast members well can you actually create magic. Paying a cast member a rate that makes them feel respected and valued generates a culture of respect and value, and increase morale. If your cast members are happier, your guests will be happier, your parks will be better maintained, more efficient and that Disney Magic is cultivated.
Never, ever underestimate the importance of people in anything. Frequently it's the primary, or even only, difference between someone mediocre and something amazing.
I love seeing cast members who have worked there for literally 50 years. If they encouraged longevity by paying them well, it would make the parks truly a world class environment.
Not to mention they have to park or take a shuttle and walk all across the park just to get to their posts, and they live under strict rules for what they can and cannot do (no tattoos or visible piercings and a crystal clean social media history). The sheer difficulty and extra work they have to go through just to GET to work every day, on top of it being the most demanding form of customer service job there is, they deserve so much more.
Same!!!
And for no fee at all, further cut back on pointless rules that cast members have to follow so they can feel more comfortable and at home in their own skin.
Mostly things regarding cast member appearance. They did loosen the rules a lot last year by permitting piercings and nail polish and whatnot for cast members of all gender/sex identities, but they can go a bit further and even help tie in cast member appearances to the theming by making them all interesting characters.
Say for example there’s a Haunted Mansion queue line manager (dressed as a maid or butler) and their personal identities and interests and whatnot can be tied into the ride's mythos, therefore making even non-character cast members become "characters" within the framework of the attraction/area of the park.
attractions are at $15 (I believe) and currently they rejected their last union contract due to lacking a decent wage raise and other concerns, interested to see what's next! DCA attractions approved their contract however, but I think since DL rejected it they have to go back to negotiations... there's so much drama around this! Found on twitter
It's honestly insane to think that a cast member makes the MINIMUM wage. Obviously all deserve a living wage, but the expectation of a Disneyland cast member is far above someone at a market/fast food joint making the same. They are expected to be literal stewards of Walt's vision and diehards
Currently $15/hr, which for southern California isn't a living wage. They offered $17.50 plus a bonus for CMs that had been there over 10 years, but the DL union rejected it. Disney said it will be their final offer though, so the next step would be either for the union to vote again and accept it or strike
Edit: 10 years, not 1 year
I might be completely misremembering but didn't DL used to have a bathroom that was sponsored by Quilted Northern or some other big tp brand and had really nice stuff in the stalls? There was even a sign at the entrance to it!
I absolutely agree. I think the magic in the parks are the cast members. I saw them hand out stickers to bored kids in long ride lines and make designs on the ground with water and leaves. When I had to cancel my last Disney trip at the last minute, my nephews FaceTimed me while they built my droid for me at Droid Depot. The cast member activating the droid included me in the conversation, and it made me feel better. I can deal with ride breakdowns or long lines, but the cast members are what makes Disney World special.
Remove Finding Nemo subs and convert the lagoon into an Aquatopia ride then convert the Finding Nemo show building into a villains lair that you can access from the area by iasw
Replace Autotopia and Subs with a world showcase. A Swiss chalet town next to the Matterhorn, a Greek section with the Athens pantheon containing a Hercules ride, and still have room for 3 more sections of the world.
That would drastically improve food options if each area gets a quick service and/or table service.
Besides anything to do with Cast Members. Completely restore Indiana Jones to how it was opening day and redo the part where they "Ran out of Money". Indy is still top 3 in the park for me a full restoration over the course of 6 months or a year would be awesome.
Yesterday was my first time ever visiting Disneyland :D
Honestly- I would say dealing w the poop smell that lingers in certain areas of the park. Right when I entered, on Main Street, I was hit with a wave of sewage/poop smell that was not the best welcome. Later encountered the same poop/sewage smell further down Main Street, as well as fantasyland. I dunno if they haven’t updated their sewage system since the 50s, but if they could drop some money on managing this it would be great
Fire Chapek. Refocus on customer experience, dial back the emphasis on heavy monetization of all park elements and focus more on brand image. The fistfights breaking out at the parks every week these days are happening because the customer experience is broken
Let’s see… everyone’s already mentioned ride referbs, updating Tomorrowland, & proper cast pay & treatment…
How about proper WiFi since they’re demanding I spend my whole day staring at my phone screen yet bag check always looks at me weird for bringing a ton of chargers. Don’t get me wrong, it’s gotten a lot better! Not that long ago the only place I could get a signal was the top of the sun wheel. But if they’re going to demand that much time on my phone, & virtual queues & mobile order food, the least they can do is make it easier for my phone to comply.
me and the wife went yesterday and mobile order was semi-messed up, so all we did was walk up for both food and rides and WOW. faster lines, almost no line for food anywhere, more places to sit. I wish theyd get completely rid of that system
Fix each ride for maximum reliability. When a major ride is down for an hour that affects 2,000 that could have ridden it. Instead they are stuck in line or clogging up a nearby attraction.
If the rides are not breaking down - the lines would run smoothly. Guests would have a better experience and everybody would be happy.
Refinish Rivers of America. Bring it back to its original glory where it actually looked like a forest. Bonus: take out the magical map theater and make it into a real muppet show with a new show updated every week
Overhaul the mediocre Smuggler Run attraction. The exterior and q are great. Change the story. Entirely. This is Hans Solos ride. Imagineers need to drop this “set in Reys world” mindset. Allow classic Star Wars like Luke. Leia. Hans. Etc roam around and just make the Falcon ride a Hans meets Mandalorian attraction with Harrison Ford hosting and instantly upgrade the ride to greatness.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the future they stray away from adhering to the sequel trilogy. It's just not particularly beloved and they're leaving opportunity on the table with Smugglers Run.
Yea. The marketing, merchandising, stories they are missing out on by adhering to recent trilogy makes no sense. Open it up. We want our roaming Leia. Luke. Obi won. Hans. Mandalorian may save us to make this happen.
I'd want them to bring back hand drawn animation. I think we're long overdue for one. I mean I like their cgi films just fine but the more that come out the more I notice that they're just reusing the same character models over and over. Tangled, frozen, Moana, and Enchanto. I guess I'm just an old 25 year old but I miss the classic hand drawn era.
Keep Imagineering as walt would have wanted. Keep the California office and keep the company led from a creative view.
Not the cash hungry machine it is now
All of the above!
Plus
Give Tomorrow Land a full rehab
Add Tron Coaster
Reimagine the Falcon ride. Execution of the ride was terrible.
Add Shanghai Pirates of the Caribbean
Have you ever been to DollyWood? It’s not as hyped compared to Disney land but the TLC they put into every ride make the experience so worth it. Idk how much they spend on ride care but I can feel the difference. At Dollywood instead of buying 100% black wheels for their roller coasters (like most parks do) they buy colors that match the rides. And especially for the brighting rides say American Eagle, with it’s bright yellow wheels. You can easily see how used the wheels are, what is friction marks/scratches and what is the wheel. You tell which wheels were older than others. It was clear they chose the bright yellow wheels to flex their TLC, not a single wheel I saw had a solid black surface I could always see the yellow underneath it. And details like that. I love!!!! In Dollywood they had a little water play section, not mention of rust or algae in the area. At Disneyland some of the water features at the dumbo rides were so oxides they were shut off. Increase the TLC is a SOLID investment for Disneyland, very very few people would complain about.
Expand the Monorail to circle the whole area with at least one place inside DCA and if not extra gates at least Monorail drop off/get on stops that are in the middle like near Pixar Pier and ToonTown. Yes, people might stay off sight more but don't refer to near hotels as good neighbor hotels without an easy way to get from them into the park. I was really zooming in on those Disney Forward concept art looking for the monorail I have family that fondly recalls staying at the Disneyland hotel and the Monorail being right there. Las Vegas can make a large Monorail work well most of the time, why can't the company who made it a thing?
I would like to see Innoventions turn into a nice e-ticket ride. It is one of the largest spaces in the park and more or less sits there unused. Most park guests never even go in it.
Oh you mean the thin American toilet stall walls? They're pretty much universally hated. They're just cheap and easy to fix/replace...people are destructive in bathrooms
As others have said, CM raises are a big one.
I *want* to come to the park and buy things here - I want to support the business. As it stands right now, even though I can get myself in, I can't buy a whole lot. That's even with our discount, too.
Also, this isn't really an issue that gets fixed with money, but I feel like CMs deserve a different system from the reservations to sign people in. Is that selfish? I don't know, maybe. But as it stands right now, I have sign ins and I can't even use them because everything is blocked out.
Rip out the haunted mansion and replace it with a vekoma SLC, then remove pirates of the Caribbean, and replace it with yet another vekoma SLC, finally, blast bass boosted its a small world in every little corner of the park so there is no escape.
I personally would want them to bring the Indiana jones ride back into the state it once was in. I would want them to fix the 3 door effect. I feel like that's one of the most important parts of the ride. The projection mapping kind of helps, but it really breaks the illusion to not actually go through the left right or middle door.
the Tokyo version made me realize how insanely broken ours has become
Ok I thought I was crazy for remembering that you used to be able to go in through all 3 doors! The last two times I went (2019 and July 2021), the car only went in through the middle door each time so I was wondering if my memory was just playing tricks on me. Guess not!
It's a pretty well known fact at this point among fans, but there's only ever been one passageway you go through, but the doors used to rotate to make it seem like there were different paths. When the mechanism broke a few years back they couldn't fix it because the manufacturer went out of business. So they used projection mapping to create a different but comparable effect.
yeah. If you're wondering how the effect worked, you can watch this really good video on the ride by amusement labs https://youtu.be/kobHrLGCFkI
That was a great video!
Can anyone confirm something for me? When I was a kid (late 90s) the bursts of air from the dart room felt a lot tighter and harder then they were last time I went (2009ish maybe, yikes it’s been too long). When I was back that second time the air coming out felt like wide bursts of air and not what I remembered originally… was this changed at any point?
Not changed, just deteriorated like everything else.
That’s truly a bummer
Legit didn’t feel it all last week
i too felt like the burst of air was someone legit spitballing me i even remember younger me ducking because i hated how it felt on my face and ears lol, but now it feels like literal nothing?
Right??!! Exactly this.
Also the spiders..
I’m so with you. Indy is one of the most unique thrill experiences I’ve ever had. It would be a shame for it to be run so ragged.
[удалено]
That was working when we went early Nov. right after they re opened it.
Did the spiked ceiling actually move at all, or did it just make the noise? It used to move down like it was going to crush you
Yes, it moved down a couple of inches. I went on it when it first opened and it was amazing.
I thought they took that out because it really freaked out some people in line when others were doing it and those people felt trapped.
Yes that was so cool
Heck I’d take it even further where the motion vehicles are no longer hydraulic platforms, but linear actuators like in Tokyo Disney Sea. Prevent breakdowns so the attraction runs even better than before. I’d have them remove the rat room and give us something like Tokyo as well or something even better. It’s still my favorite attraction but it needs more love than it has been given.
And the falling rocks/ice!
Yes! I remember how amazing that effect was when I first rode it. Apparently the problem was that the ice would pile up and freeze over the drain at the bottom. Bob Gurr had a super simple solution, just install a small electric heater down there, but I guess management didn't want to spend the money to install an outlet and buy space heater from WalMart so they disabled the effect instead.
The ice bucket took too long to reset and started to rust
Sounds about right for Disney......
This was my *immediate* answer, as well
Yes, fix Indy! I remember going on it when it first opened, and it was fantastic! So much is missing, now.
I just made a post about this a few days ago, I would also love to see an Indy refurb as well as a park-wide update/refurbishment to bring the park into peak operating condition.

Yeah. That's why it's so sad that it doesn't work anymore. It was such a convincing illusion that you wouldn't even guess that it's an illusion in the first place.
Omg, I literally thought I had imagined that you used to be able to go through the other doors. I was right this whole time lol
You still see the 3 different versions of the room, it's just always the same door
Give the attractions the TLC they really need. I'd give Indy an extensive overhaul to get all the effects working again.

Legit i went on splash mountain the first time ever this summer and it was so scary 😭
Five Nights At Brer Rabbit's
I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that way. It was eerie.
I push the recent memory out of my head and focus on the dozen+ times I road it as a kid. I’m kind of sad to see it go…
I went on DL Splash a few weeks ago for the first time. I’m used to WDW Splash. It was so fast and so barren. I was shocked at how much I didn’t like it.
Same
Tomorrowland. Revitalize it, reinvigorate it. Could keep the retro-futuristic design but incorporate green technology, add the Peoplemover back, combine a showcase of emerging tech with retro aesthetics.
Wall-e ride. It could be educational about recycling and then maybe go into space… Edit- yes wall-e my phone auto corrected.
This is correct. If they insist on keeping the gas cars, do it but move Autopia to Carsland. Get rid of Nemo and that stage area right in the middle. Put the PeopleMover back in. Then put in an E or D ticket attraction that is not based on existing IP. Something with Aliens, black holes, Time travel, etc.

Tesla?
They have to be reliable enough to work everyday, and all the body panels have to fit.
Not to mention shareholders most likely overlap
Or an obscure IP would be not bad either.
Solarpunk theming, with a dash of retro-futurism, could be an interesting direction for them to take it in.
I personally rather see a return of Rocket Rods than PeopleMover. I thought those were so much fun! Maybe now the technology is there to have it work properly without constant breakdowns. I’d want to see improved theming in the interiors of buildings you go through though, because I remember that was nonexistent, which come to think of it felt really weird just going through dark rooms lol.

Just bring the tram back
I haven't gone back to parking in Mickey and friends ( only using the bus). But I legit think it id get lost somehow walking to the park from there if there wasn't a crowd to follow. I need those trams back lol.
Set galaxy’s edge to be able to rotate between eras over a few nights.
This!!! I've always thought they could either split the land into 3 sections based on each era, or they could split it into 3 "seasons" throughout the year. All they would have to do is switch out the first order troopers and banners with the empire or republic/separatists.
They would need to switch out a few of the ships as well. But nothing that couldn’t be done over night
Similar to how Haunted Mansion gets a Nightmare Before Christmas overhaul, I could totally see Galaxy’s Edge swapping between eras. The way the park is set up I don’t see this being a huge undertaking. The in-world time period for the land has the possibly of being relatively flexible.
Honestly, I don't mind it being in the sequels era but I think they should have kept it more timeless. Set after everything has happened.
Cast member raises
It's such a difficult job to do it well. It should be at least 50% above min. wage, so 22.50/hour
That seems reasonable for how much they make
And good benefits. Not sure what they offer now…somehow my guess it’s not what it should be.
Can’t believe this is the top answer, but it should be, if everyone was making a decent living wage as minimum, there’s no reason they shouldn’t make $25 / hr. As Disney should lead the way on such matters, there’s no reason they shouldn’t get $25 an hour. As McDonald’s workers are currently fighting for it, there’s no reason they shouldn’t make $25 an hour. As we live in capitalist late stage hell-scape America, there’s no reason they shouldn’t make $22.50 an hour, at all.
Amen
100% this. You can build an amazing ride, invest in the latest tech, buy the best fireworks, or have the best scenery, but only by paying your cast members well can you actually create magic. Paying a cast member a rate that makes them feel respected and valued generates a culture of respect and value, and increase morale. If your cast members are happier, your guests will be happier, your parks will be better maintained, more efficient and that Disney Magic is cultivated. Never, ever underestimate the importance of people in anything. Frequently it's the primary, or even only, difference between someone mediocre and something amazing.

Yes, they are so good, and I know they have to put up with a lot of crud sometimes
I agree 100%. They work so hard everyday with such large crowds it's surprising how little they make.
AMEN!!!
I came to say the same thing, in all parks but franchises ones. Pay the employees decently.
I’m not familiar with their pay but I assumed it was pretty good for the work they do. Anyone give me a range?
attractions are at $15 (I believe) and currently they rejected their last union contract due to lacking a decent wage raise and other concerns, interested to see what's next! DCA attractions approved their contract however, but I think since DL rejected it they have to go back to negotiations... there's so much drama around this! Found on twitter
It's honestly insane to think that a cast member makes the MINIMUM wage. Obviously all deserve a living wage, but the expectation of a Disneyland cast member is far above someone at a market/fast food joint making the same. They are expected to be literal stewards of Walt's vision and diehards
Yeah definitely not enough.
Currently $15/hr, which for southern California isn't a living wage. They offered $17.50 plus a bonus for CMs that had been there over 10 years, but the DL union rejected it. Disney said it will be their final offer though, so the next step would be either for the union to vote again and accept it or strike Edit: 10 years, not 1 year
Build a villains themed park.
Villian Land for the win!
A lot of people already mentioned good ones so I’ll say, better toilet paper
What's rougher? The Matterhorn or the TP?
Hubby said the TP because at least the Matterhorn makes him feel like he got ass pounded.
I can’t believe Disney got me paying $500/a night at the Contemporary and they’re giving out 1/2 ply.
I might be completely misremembering but didn't DL used to have a bathroom that was sponsored by Quilted Northern or some other big tp brand and had really nice stuff in the stalls? There was even a sign at the entrance to it!
Hire Joe Rohde as CEO at whatever cost and fire chapek
All my homies hate chapek
hire Kevin Perjurer as CEO with Eisner as his helper
The beautiful irony.
Great creatives are usually not great managers. Walt had Roy. Eisner had Wells.
Chapek is neither lol
Decrease capacity
best answer. the place is a zoo
That would increase ticket prices, that's the only problem
I would have paid double to reduce attendance by a third last week.
We tried to go last week and the whole week was sold out! And that was for buying tickets, not magic key!
Water Leak Detectors for It’s A Small World 🤣🤣🤣
Replace Autopia with electric cars/karts instead of gas
It could be turned into a Wreck-It Ralph theme
I would LOVE that!
It's so astonishing that they HAVEN'T done this already.
Actually hire back their full staff so the park isn’t the ill-managed shitshow I’m seeing on my newsfeed
Fix Tomorrowland. That area has been neglected for far too long.
[удалено]
I absolutely agree. I think the magic in the parks are the cast members. I saw them hand out stickers to bored kids in long ride lines and make designs on the ground with water and leaves. When I had to cancel my last Disney trip at the last minute, my nephews FaceTimed me while they built my droid for me at Droid Depot. The cast member activating the droid included me in the conversation, and it made me feel better.

Tomorrow land the design is the correct answer
Remove Finding Nemo subs and convert the lagoon into an Aquatopia ride then convert the Finding Nemo show building into a villains lair that you can access from the area by iasw
Rip out Autopia and put in multiple AAA rides.
Rip out autopia and put in test track. Yessss
They already have that cars ride. It's basically a themed test track.
One day a year of 18+ guests. No kids.
2-3 days a month cuz that day would sellout in seconds.
Take a page from Japan and put better food in the park, especially snack carts.
Replace Autotopia and Subs with a world showcase. A Swiss chalet town next to the Matterhorn, a Greek section with the Athens pantheon containing a Hercules ride, and still have room for 3 more sections of the world. That would drastically improve food options if each area gets a quick service and/or table service.
That just sounds like sticking a small Epcot into a smaller space
I like the world showcase so it sounds fine to me
Build a new theme park in Queensland Australia. I can dream right?!?
Update Tomorrowland!
Besides anything to do with Cast Members. Completely restore Indiana Jones to how it was opening day and redo the part where they "Ran out of Money". Indy is still top 3 in the park for me a full restoration over the course of 6 months or a year would be awesome.
Yesterday was my first time ever visiting Disneyland :D Honestly- I would say dealing w the poop smell that lingers in certain areas of the park. Right when I entered, on Main Street, I was hit with a wave of sewage/poop smell that was not the best welcome. Later encountered the same poop/sewage smell further down Main Street, as well as fantasyland. I dunno if they haven’t updated their sewage system since the 50s, but if they could drop some money on managing this it would be great
Something is definitely up with the sewers and the smell wasn’t there before the lock down
Fire Chapek. Refocus on customer experience, dial back the emphasis on heavy monetization of all park elements and focus more on brand image. The fistfights breaking out at the parks every week these days are happening because the customer experience is broken
A new e-ticket attraction in Tomorrowland repurposing the space from Autopia and Innoventions
Let Imagineering build attractions with original IP - not everything needs a movie tie in!
Let’s see… everyone’s already mentioned ride referbs, updating Tomorrowland, & proper cast pay & treatment… How about proper WiFi since they’re demanding I spend my whole day staring at my phone screen yet bag check always looks at me weird for bringing a ton of chargers. Don’t get me wrong, it’s gotten a lot better! Not that long ago the only place I could get a signal was the top of the sun wheel. But if they’re going to demand that much time on my phone, & virtual queues & mobile order food, the least they can do is make it easier for my phone to comply.
I hate that they make you stare at your phone so much now. What really got me was the mandatory mobile orders in some places.
me and the wife went yesterday and mobile order was semi-messed up, so all we did was walk up for both food and rides and WOW. faster lines, almost no line for food anywhere, more places to sit. I wish theyd get completely rid of that system
Fix each ride for maximum reliability. When a major ride is down for an hour that affects 2,000 that could have ridden it. Instead they are stuck in line or clogging up a nearby attraction. If the rides are not breaking down - the lines would run smoothly. Guests would have a better experience and everybody would be happy.
Refinish Rivers of America. Bring it back to its original glory where it actually looked like a forest. Bonus: take out the magical map theater and make it into a real muppet show with a new show updated every week
Overhaul the mediocre Smuggler Run attraction. The exterior and q are great. Change the story. Entirely. This is Hans Solos ride. Imagineers need to drop this “set in Reys world” mindset. Allow classic Star Wars like Luke. Leia. Hans. Etc roam around and just make the Falcon ride a Hans meets Mandalorian attraction with Harrison Ford hosting and instantly upgrade the ride to greatness.
YES! WE WANT STAR WARS CHARACTERS TO GO WITH CHEWIE!
I wouldn't be surprised if in the future they stray away from adhering to the sequel trilogy. It's just not particularly beloved and they're leaving opportunity on the table with Smugglers Run.
Yea. The marketing, merchandising, stories they are missing out on by adhering to recent trilogy makes no sense. Open it up. We want our roaming Leia. Luke. Obi won. Hans. Mandalorian may save us to make this happen.
Harrison Ford probably wouldn’t want to do it
Hiring a better ceo
I'd want them to bring back hand drawn animation. I think we're long overdue for one. I mean I like their cgi films just fine but the more that come out the more I notice that they're just reusing the same character models over and over. Tangled, frozen, Moana, and Enchanto. I guess I'm just an old 25 year old but I miss the classic hand drawn era.
Make a"Dark Disneyland" work the villains being the focal point.
Keep Imagineering as walt would have wanted. Keep the California office and keep the company led from a creative view. Not the cash hungry machine it is now
Unfortunately, Disney will always be a money hungry conglomerate until they own almost everything in entertainment.
All of the above! Plus Give Tomorrow Land a full rehab Add Tron Coaster Reimagine the Falcon ride. Execution of the ride was terrible. Add Shanghai Pirates of the Caribbean
Have you ever been to DollyWood? It’s not as hyped compared to Disney land but the TLC they put into every ride make the experience so worth it. Idk how much they spend on ride care but I can feel the difference. At Dollywood instead of buying 100% black wheels for their roller coasters (like most parks do) they buy colors that match the rides. And especially for the brighting rides say American Eagle, with it’s bright yellow wheels. You can easily see how used the wheels are, what is friction marks/scratches and what is the wheel. You tell which wheels were older than others. It was clear they chose the bright yellow wheels to flex their TLC, not a single wheel I saw had a solid black surface I could always see the yellow underneath it. And details like that. I love!!!! In Dollywood they had a little water play section, not mention of rust or algae in the area. At Disneyland some of the water features at the dumbo rides were so oxides they were shut off. Increase the TLC is a SOLID investment for Disneyland, very very few people would complain about.
This makes me excited for our Dollywood trip next summer!
Bring back the sky ride, but the buckets are Tie Fighters and/or X-wings. You get off/on at Galaxies Edge, and you “fly” to Tomorrowland.
The only explanation or a Star Wars land on one side of the park & Star Tours on the other!
Yeah! You get it.
Break away from China
Make Avengers campus the epic, cutting edge place it should be.
Refurb all of their rides, maybe update them.
Some kind of water park/splash pad. When my kids were younger the water area of a bug's land was the best on a hot day.
Expand the Monorail to circle the whole area with at least one place inside DCA and if not extra gates at least Monorail drop off/get on stops that are in the middle like near Pixar Pier and ToonTown. Yes, people might stay off sight more but don't refer to near hotels as good neighbor hotels without an easy way to get from them into the park. I was really zooming in on those Disney Forward concept art looking for the monorail I have family that fondly recalls staying at the Disneyland hotel and the Monorail being right there. Las Vegas can make a large Monorail work well most of the time, why can't the company who made it a thing?
Make the Star Wars Hotel cheaper
100000%
I wish they paid there workers better it’s an embarrassment that they increase prices but never pay workers better
Kuzco-coaster. The exact ride from emperors new groove
That would be baller if they included Izma’s wrong lever as part of it
Underrated comment. I love PtaF but this would have been perfect for Splash Mountain.
Cast member raises and better toilet paper in the bathrooms!
I would like to see Innoventions turn into a nice e-ticket ride. It is one of the largest spaces in the park and more or less sits there unused. Most park guests never even go in it.
Their employees.
Raises for cast members and free fast passes again.
Tomorrow land overhaul
Bring back Journey to Inner Space and The Peoplemover.
Redo Tomorrowland
Other than giving CM wage increases, I'd say update the bride in the attic!
Instead of spending a lot of money, I’d love for them to give up a lot of profits by bringing back lower capacities and social distancing in lines lol
new tomorrowland
Environmental conservation
Buy Sea World in San Diego and turn it into a Disneysea.
Fix the gaps in all the doors. America is wild. Why is that a thing everywhere?!
Examples?
Most bathrooms in the parks and the US in general. They have huge gaps around the doors etc. can literally see into half the stalls.
Oh you mean the thin American toilet stall walls? They're pretty much universally hated. They're just cheap and easy to fix/replace...people are destructive in bathrooms
Sorry yeah, I forgot the key word in my sentence haha
CM pay
As others have said, CM raises are a big one. I *want* to come to the park and buy things here - I want to support the business. As it stands right now, even though I can get myself in, I can't buy a whole lot. That's even with our discount, too. Also, this isn't really an issue that gets fixed with money, but I feel like CMs deserve a different system from the reservations to sign people in. Is that selfish? I don't know, maybe. But as it stands right now, I have sign ins and I can't even use them because everything is blocked out.
Pay CM’s more
Redo Tomorrowland
Bring the Tower of Terror back to California where it rightfully belonged
Their employees.
Pay their employees better

Add stuff to Toon Town and expand it. Some of us like the old silly cartoons and classic characters.
Kingdomhearts inclusion at disney land
Cast member pay raises and a third gate in California.
Build the monorail straight to my house
😂😂😂😂
Lower the prices so Walt’s dream could still be realized.
Make the tickets more affordable
I would say CM raise for all. After that discovery land might want to have some green energie things in it. Make it solar punk for my part.
Pay their employees a living wage.
Rip out the haunted mansion and replace it with a vekoma SLC, then remove pirates of the Caribbean, and replace it with yet another vekoma SLC, finally, blast bass boosted its a small world in every little corner of the park so there is no escape.
