They already had The Christmas Show and the rest of the year it was the vacation hoedown, why not bring back the original show for the Jan-Mar season, Have a new vacation hoedown for the summer season, a halloween/fall type show for that time, and a new holiday show at the end of the year.

Nothing at all really, other then the fact that it will use a variation of the Midway Madness technology, and that rather then gut the "Meet The World" building, they wisely simply tore the thing down and are starting from scratch. A much better idea if you're going to fully utilize that enormous lot. Anyhow, my point is.... I TOTALLY feel you about the 'over Pixaration' in the parks... but again, Pixar IS Disney now. I'm pretty sure they'll make a 'futuristic' Monstropolis (which IMO fits into the Tomorrowland motif better then the Toy Story-based Buzz attraction....)
Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt Monstropolis really has nothing to do with Tomorrowland. Of course we've been down this road before. Point is, Disney seems to have given up on putting any effort into imagineering a new creative identity for Tomorrowland. They've chosen to go the route of movie-tie ins instead. And cartoon ones at that. Tsk, tsk.

I don't mind film tie ins and toon characters, as long as they find a decent connection to the theme...and that there isn't an over-saturation of this kind of stuff. There needs to be a balance between that stuff and original and innovative things in each land, connected to the proper theme. I actually don't mind Buzz in Tomorrowland- the 'fictional world' he comes from as a character (within the world of "Toy Story") is that of outer space-thus, he's a Space Ranger. Works with the more fictional/fantasy/sci-fi take on tomorrowland they are doing now. (though I would have probably took a different direction with the attraction itself, and relied less on the 'toy' references within it). Monstropolis and Monsters in Tomorrowland I just plain don't get...=(

Originally Posted By ChampDisney All I can say is Disney has so much potential on making great Tomorrowland attractions & they always seem to give it away with some great box office Pixar movie. Yes, the ride can be over the top fantastic but I rather see it else where, & I am so sick & tired of people discussing about Cars taking over Autoia. Guys, get a hold of yourselves WDI can't be as stupid to let Tomorrowland die like that because then they shouldn't be Imagineers.

Originally Posted By ChampDisney ^^^ lol, I get it but I think that would make a great attraction at Tomorrowland after the movie.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Most of the Star Wars characters wouldn't make very good plush toys (other than perhaps Chewbaca and the Ewoks) wouldn't make very good plush, but they manage to have one of the largest character stores in the entire park. I'm not how much money is made off of that one store, but I would bet it is a ton. And on top of that, they aren't even Pixar characters!
