Disney is changing... and we have opinions.

In this episode of Hangin' at the Hangar Bar, Scott and Candice take a break from trip planning and nostalgia to talk about some of the biggest changes happening across Walt Disney World. From major attraction overhauls to entirely new lands, Disney is investing billions into the future of the parks—but are they making the right decisions?

Before we dive in, we start with an important correction regarding Star Tours and Star Wars Launch Bay, proving once again that we are always willing to admit when we get something wrong.

Then we tackle some of the biggest topics currently shaping the future of Walt Disney World:

• The massive Carousel of Progress refurbishment and why it has Disney fans divided
• What a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic means for Disney's future storytelling
• The transformation of Frontierland and the arrival of Cars-themed Piston Peak
• Villains Land and whether Disney's biggest expansion in decades can live up to the hype
• The end of Muppets Courtyard and the arrival of Monstropolis
• Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring The Muppets and our first impressions of the reimagined attraction
• Tropical Americas replacing DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom
• Indiana Jones, Encanto, Bluey, and the future identity of Animal Kingdom
• Disney's growing focus on Walt Disney himself as part of the guest experience
• Whether all of this construction is creating a new Disney Renaissance—or simply a lot of walls

Along the way, we discuss what Disney is getting right, where we're still skeptical, and which projects have us the most excited for the future.

What changes are you most excited about? Which ones make you nervous? Let us know on social media or in our Discord community.

As always, thank you for hanging out with us at the Hangar Bar.

Remember... there's always a great big beautiful tomorrow.
