With regards to the Madme Leota gift shop: If they've got any more of Doratha Raymond's concept sketches for the Haunted Mansion, use those to hang around the shop instead of AI art.
I have to disagree on island tower…the art may be a bit more authentic but knocking down the lu’au theater and killing those jobs (many of which were worked by actual Hawaiians) was a bad move. We quite literally have a small Polynesian diaspora in central FL because of Aunty Kau’i and the others who came over here to start that show back in the day…it just felt disrespectful to her memory IMO. DVC feels like a pyramid scheme at this point with how many buildings they have to build to sell more and more contracts…I wonder when it will tumble.
@@DevlinORyan I haven’t heard anything either way, but CROW has always been on the river and wouldn’t be the same if they moved it elsewhere. I loved seeing the animatronics and static scenes as we rowed around. DAK’s lagoon thing isn’t nearly as large either…I hope they can figure something out. My friend and I rowed when we were both pregnant a couple years ago, then I missed the last one being on parental leave! I want one more shot at glory 😂
17:11 Hmm, there should be a video of Eisner era additions that are gone now. Pleasure Island, California Adventure's original opening day stuff, Dinoland, A lot of Tomorrowland...
@@Balootoyoutoo Splash Mountain is alive and well. Dinoland is not closing either. But when I take over Disney and make it great again, almost all of those other things are coming back. The entire Iger era will be undone.
Just got back home in Hawaii from Disneyland. As a park go’er from rope drop to closing, the people mover would be the best to rest on . They need to bring back the people mover!!!
Great video as always! I was at the Country Jamboree for the first time in September and was surprised by how many people were there. They were singing along and laughing, so I'd say it's well-received. My best friend's dad just reserved me a week in Old Key West for next September for cheap, so hoping Test Track 3.0 will be open by then at least.
Fantasy Springs wasn’t made by Disney though, it was made by the Oriental Land Company. However I do agree with you, it’s absolutely fantastic. I doubt Disney would ever shell out the money themselves to build anything as magnificent here in the American parks though.
@@Michael-zs9hw It was paid for by OLC. But OLC contracted Disney Imagineering to build it. Disney CAN still build these massive lands. The more fans shine a light on what OLC does in Japan, the more pressure the stateside parks get to match that expectation. Especially since more Americans are traveling to Japan then ever before. I was there in June and saw it first hand. More Americans were there then you'd expect.
So 2 reskins, one that was a big downgrade, a new line for a ride and a college cafeteria. What a year!! 😂😂 I do agree that country bears was a win. Love the new show.
Hey Offhand Disney, I know you mostly just talk about the American parks, but you forgot about Fantasy Springs at tokyo Disney sea, which in my opinion was the best thing in 2024( especially the fantastic Frozen ride) Love from Denmark.
I don't visit the Disney parks anymore, I just watch your videos. I get so much joy from watching your content and I skip all the lines, large price tags, and crowds. LOL Thank you for what you do!! 😼
I disagree on TBA. It's just okay. It's really weighed down by my memory of what was there, especially as I'm going by all the blank walls. They took one of the best attractions and turned out into a just okay attraction.
Great video, and I'm definitely excited for 2025! Here's a potential fun idea for a 2025 video. Kingdom Hearts Missing Link should hopefully finally release in 2025. Not only does it technically fall under the same Disney Experiences umbrella as the parks, but it's also a GPS based game. So theoretically you could make a video where you play the game while at one of the Disney Parks. The very thought of playing a Disney related GPS game in a Disney park just sounds very meta.
A REAL mansion would not have its carriage in the front, make the gift shop look like a small local business along the road that runs in front of the mansion, but do we really need "another" gift shop. Let's just have a pre-gift shop then the main gift shop then a post-gift shop....... lol
Aristocats near New Orleans land could be fun because they have that cat Jazz club. I'd looove to see an attraction themed around Everybody Wants to Be A Cat
Country Bears is a delight, but multiple times in a single day? Even as someone who doesn't like thrill rides, that seems a little much. Variety is the spice of life!
I am forever in the the "Bring Back People Mover" camp. It's a mountain I will forever stand on and want to be buried on. It was always one of my favorites as a kid and I cry every time I walk under the tracks. IN reality, I'm seriously done with tomorrowland on so many levels. The entire land needs to be razed, except for Space Mountain - and even that building needs a major renovation. Autopia, Nemo, Buzz Lightyear, Star Tours... get rid of ALL of it. Sure, the logistics would be rough because it would impact the railroad and the monorail, but they could figure it out.
Disney will never bring it back. Rocket rods destroyed the track theres cracks in the pillars and on the track they would have to completely tear it down and re build it. They will never do this.
Great video! Also yes hopefully we get something figment related at destination D23 we need breadcrumbs at least 😭 like updated CGI animations for the ride or the bare minimum like Figment gets a holiday sweater for his meet and greet during the holiday lol
I really wish they weren't going to actually go through with some of these plans (primarily tearing down Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America for an IP area that makes 0 sense in Frontierland), I predict that by 2026 they'll announce a re-theme for Living with the Land involving Onward, or somethin' stupid like that.
With the news that Disney is upgrading the projectors on Space Ranger Spin, I wonder if we'll have a little refurb to help some effects like the audio, you can't really hear the music in most scenes. As long as the theme stays, Space Ranger Spin is easily my favorite ride in MK!
To be honest, I actually disagree on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. It’s not actually an improvement it’s pretty much a disappointment. Splash Mountain is basically the best thrill ride with songs that actually fit the ride. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure kind of feels like it’s made for a living in the land type ride or it’s a small world type ride, it isn’t made to be a thrilling ride which is why it’s the biggest disappointment. Even the theme song which is supposed to be a song to dance to is kind of useless. The only thing that is good about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is that there are a few songs from the movie. I’ve been on the Disneyland version and my experience I will say 2 out of 10. It is a little better but Splash Mountain to me is a 9 out of 10. Hopefully, they will realize their mistake and remake Splash Mountain with animatronics that work and were made for the ride. Because Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is made for a gentle dark ride and that’s not Splash Mountain. I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be as popular as they are going to hope. My guess they’ll probably might will have to speed up the refurbishment on Big Thunder Mountain so they can get people in over there.
I know its salty, and I dont care about the "canon" of a ride in regards to the original film. Not having the Bayou Adventure Drop be to "Friends on the Other Side" is one of the biggest missed opportunities in theme park history.
I'm going to experience it for the first time this March and I'm going to try to judge it for what it is instead of what I really wanted it to be. Though, I will say that, I am disappointed that I'm not going to hear his Friends from the Other Side going "bum bum bum bum bum bum bum" as you go up the lift Hill.
It’s just too happy. I think splash mountain really had that “fear factor” by hyping up the drop, but now it’s just party party party and that kinda sucks :(
I wish I shared your opinion of the Carriage House. There’s just no excuse for it to be that bad/basic. My prediction for 2025 is that Disney will continue to do literally anything but fix Tomorrowland. 😑
Can we speculate about Villain's Land, please? What is going in it? What is the E-ticket attraction? I'm hoping for a spooky dark ride that combines tech from the Phantom Manor and Battle for the Sunken Treasure, but what is the theme? Do they come up with a story that combines our favorite villains into one experience, or do they just pick one to follow? If so, which one? What villains will they theme restaurants after? What will the bathrooms look like? What character meet and greets can we expect? Will there be a guy dressed like Jeffrey Katzenberg in Villain's Land??? Let's get into it!
Epic Universe's opening next year is forcing Disney to keep RoA and Dinoland (or at least Dinosaur) open next year so that they're not filling the parks with construction walls just when their competitor is taking them down.
I actually went to a Disney park this year, which doesn't happen very often for me--and it was, probably, the BEST ONE, Tokyo DisneySea (an unkind person would say this is because it's a Disney park not run by Disney). I had a great time. So for me it was a great year in Disney parks. Actually that's a pattern in general--it was a pretty good year for me personally all around, and if I didn't care about other people or about the future I'd say it was a terrific year. But all those other considerations soured the mix.
Calling it now... Muppets Vision 3D... returning to DCA for a limited run. Is Philarmagic REALLY what the fans want, Disney? "This has been REALLY?! with Adam." 25:23
Tiana's Bayou Whatever is modern Disney writ large. It is wan and disinteresting despite the multitude of flailing arm animatronics (actually the same ones repeated over and over to save money) with an overreliance on projections (to save money). It is not bold or ground breaking its just...breaking - all the time. A safe bet that is a palid imitation of Disney's better times, just like the new Haunted Mansion cue with its tiny Temu statuettes and oh so much stucco (so much cheaper than faux brick) or the literal prefab from a website Leota's eyesore barn (so much cheaper than designing one) featuring Amazon figurines and stolen AI art. Thank Walt that the Imagineers who developed the spectacular offerings at the foreign parks were able to have their work brought to life before the SixFlagsification began in earnest.
Creating Avatar Land in Simba lot.... and making sure it's lush and not so alien like, so they can retheme it into a Central/South America area, (as per WDW,) when Avatar I.P. hype fades.
Destination D23: A Journey Around the Worlds of Disney will take place August 29-31, 2025 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Walt Disney World Resort,
Rumor is animation courtyard is being save for another land. Top pick is zootopia. Shanghai disney has exclusivity till 2028 or 2029. So they will finish monsters and then annouce that
Respectfully disagree. Tiana's deserved a ride from scratch that is better than a reskin which has too many empty spaces and no comprehensive story...not to mention no Dr. Facilier! 😮
As a Floridian who went to Disney almost every single year with my family, then became an adult who continued to go. I'm not going to act like I like Disney anymore. I just can't, they don't care about us.
If I were Disney - I would put a huge moderately priced hotel in bus area close to esplanade. Disneyland needs hotel revenue to fund future theme Park capacity - otherwise it’s an investment that just benefits other hotels. The biggest problem at Disneyland is that most guests stay elsewhere. I think a hotel will come before Avatar.
A hotel makes no sense there and would go against Disney's sight line guidelines. The east entrance will be revamped once they make progress on the new parking structure on the other side of Harbor and figure out how they're going to get people to the entrance from there (**cough** peoplemover **cough cough**).
You are WAY too easy on the Bob Iger Corporation. A “state of transition” gives them far too much credit. At just about every decision point they make the wrong one. Wondering when investors will finally hold them to account, as they deserve, for destroying the cash cow parks?
It’s a sad day for me because I am unsubscribing from your channel. If you had only added a blue sky account, I would’ve seen it as a business decision but the fact that you are “ sunsetting“ your X account tells me that you no longer value true free speech versus heavily censored speech. I am postulating that most of your followers or at least a great deal of them have influenced your decision. Either way, it’s your decision and you have every right to make it just as I have every right to unsubscribe. Good luck to you in the future.
Yeah it's an absolute travesty that someone on a public platform with free will and an ability to exercise free speech would freely decide to move from one public platform to another public platform because they wanted to. How DARE someone have the right to choose! Disgusting.
In a vacuum maybe but it’s identical to every other piece of AI art out there and lacks any character/thought an artist would bring to it - (it was traced back to RedBubble too, why is Disney purchasing AI photos from the internet)
@ I would imagine they pay someone to use the tool. Automation has been a thing for more than 100 years now, whether it’s the sewing machine or the app you use to check in for a flight. They replace one job with another. AI is not any different; learn to use it or find yourself woefully behind. Just like when computers became accessible to office workers.
@@tzkelley no they literally bought it off the internet for pennies (again it was found on RedBubble) from someone who used cheap ai tools stolen from other artists instead of adequately paying a living wage to a specialized artist to do something creative, honest and original. You are allowed to have quality standards in life and hold others to account. Especially given the price of the parks, I think it’s disrespectful to guests and employees. Please do not treat your friends, coworkers or workers with that disdain. Also digital ai art is a completely new invention unparalleled in history, this is obviously a special case and has nothing to do with automating impersonal systems. Imagine your artistic self replaced by a machine to save a megacorporation a few dollars and how bleak the world would be if this was normalized Unless you’re just trolling in which case yeah you got me
@ not trolling. I get it-you’re an artist and feel threatened by the new technology. I’m looking at it purely from the consumers’ point of view. It’s like buying stuff made in America instead of China. It’s a matter of being willing to pay more for something to “do the right thing”. Some will and some won’t.
So wait, you're saying that "Tiana's Bayou Adventure" could have been a 10/10 attraction if they had...
...dug a little deeper??? 😇
Great annual review, dude! It’s tough to have ended this year with the Muppet news, but because of you I do have some hope!

Btw…filling in Rivers also kills off canoe racing for CMs. Will forever be salty for that. :(
That's so sad! Someone should open a local show, if they have the funds-I think it'd definitely get guests!
@@SmolAliens They do have an unused water area in Animal Kingdom where they last flew kites.

The only thing the land would be good with is Wall-E, and even then more similar to Moana in the journey of water ride than being a actual part.

5:30 if you really think this ill know to never listen to any of your opinions again 😂😂
I love your breakdowns but I am getting Werid Al Vibes
I'd say 2020-2022 were weirder, all things considered.
Lost me @5:35 when you said Tiana’s bayou adventure was an improvement over Splash Mountain….
Nothing else you might say holds any value to me now.
100% Unsubscribed and marked as "Do not recommend channel" after hearing that. It is a blatant, disingenuous lie.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure is a hoax and a figment of your imagination. Splash Mountain is alive and well at WDW and will be so for the 75th in 2046.
2025 is going to be a great year starting with mid January....
It was a disaster dude performance wise and still is. You would think the ride had been trashed by gremlins our something.
13:53 How do you know that's AI?
It’s way too obvious
I wish Offhand Man's video reviews had a bit more edge to them, something to really grab the audience and leave a lasting impression.
Tiana’s Salt Mine and Rainforest Cafe adventure is a 2/10 at best. Quite possibly the worst thing Disney has ever done to the parks.
Christmas eve eve is also Christmas Adam, because Adam came before eve
im watching this before going on a plane to mexico
My prediction is that Snow White never gets released.
Coco they said, will start 2026
There will never be any Coco attraction. Everything Pixar related will close down when Disney is broken up and Pixar is taken away by Uncle Sam.
Dallin, I love ya, but you be simpin, my man. Does Bobby Igs have some dirt on you or something?
How would you like to interview the son of Walt Disney's bodyguard? I can make that connection for you, if you're interested.
You are WAY too easy on the Bob Iger Corporation. A “state of transition” gives them far too much credit. At just about every decision point they make the wrong one. Wondering when investors will finally hold them to account, as they deserve, for destroying the cash cow parks?
It’s a sad day for me because I am unsubscribing from your channel. If you had only added a blue sky account, I would’ve seen it as a business decision but the fact that you are “ sunsetting“ your X account tells me that you no longer value true free speech versus heavily censored speech. I am postulating that most of your followers or at least a great deal of them have influenced your decision. Either way, it’s your decision and you have every right to make it just as I have every right to unsubscribe. Good luck to you in the future.
Good, the less GOP presence here, the better! :)
I wouldn't unsubscribe from X. The more online presence the better. And X currently has 30 times more users than Blue Sky.
bro go touch some grass please!!!
Yeah it's an absolute travesty that someone on a public platform with free will and an ability to exercise free speech would freely decide to move from one public platform to another public platform because they wanted to. How DARE someone have the right to choose! Disgusting.
Goodbye! See ya!
Honestly, that piece you say is AI generated looks way better than the picture Madam Leota. It’s more ethereal and other-worldly.
In a vacuum maybe but it’s identical to every other piece of AI art out there and lacks any character/thought an artist would bring to it -
(it was traced back to RedBubble too, why is Disney purchasing AI photos from the internet)
@ I would imagine they pay someone to use the tool. Automation has been a thing for more than 100 years now, whether it’s the sewing machine or the app you use to check in for a flight. They replace one job with another. AI is not any different; learn to use it or find yourself woefully behind. Just like when computers became accessible to office workers.
@@tzkelley no they literally bought it off the internet for pennies (again it was found on RedBubble) from someone who used cheap ai tools stolen from other artists instead of adequately paying a living wage to a specialized artist to do something creative, honest and original.
You are allowed to have quality standards in life and hold others to account. Especially given the price of the parks, I think it’s disrespectful to guests and employees. Please do not treat your friends, coworkers or workers with that disdain.
Also digital ai art is a completely new invention unparalleled in history, this is obviously a special case and has nothing to do with automating impersonal systems. Imagine your artistic self replaced by a machine to save a megacorporation a few dollars and how bleak the world would be if this was normalized
Unless you’re just trolling in which case yeah you got me
@ not trolling. I get it-you’re an artist and feel threatened by the new technology. I’m looking at it purely from the consumers’ point of view. It’s like buying stuff made in America instead of China. It’s a matter of being willing to pay more for something to “do the right thing”. Some will and some won’t.
