I wonder if it’s because many fans buy figment merch in the hopes it will encourage Disney to retheme the ride. But then if they never retheme the ride the people will keep buying.
That's the new Disney. Focus on making quick money and avoid as spending money as much as possible in the parks. At Tokyo they constantly refurbish rides.
Attraction-specific merchandise is essential. Even for the casual vacationer guest. There’s nothing worse than getting off an attraction that completely wowed you and finding nothing specific to that experience in the gift shop.
Nice to see the referb on World Premier. All things considered, though when I priced out vacation stays, All Star Movies was only like $3.00 cheaper per day than Pop Century. I'll go for the Skyline, thanks.
I like what you did when you said we would have a full year of Dinosaur before it goes Extinct, since the original name of the ride was Countdown to Extinction. 😎
I had a dream last night that Burbank turned all global parks management over Tokyo's Oriental Land Company and a year later every park looked as clean, freshly painted and well-manicured as Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Seas!!!!.....Then I woke, realized it was only a dream and I up felt bummed. Oh well, nuffin' wrong with dreaming I guess.
OMG I totally want that Figment mug! I usually have my morning coffee in bed, where the magnetic plush Figment on my bedside lamp reminds me to use my imagination to get through the day ahead. Drinking it out of a Figment mug could give it one extra little spark!
1:24 I rode Alien Encounter once back way and it freaked me out so much that I remember it to this day the freakage outage. I have still never gone back to whatever replaced it in that same spot. Nope nope nope.
I had been under the (apparently mistaken) impression that the Tortuga Tavern space was going to be incorporated into the new pirate bar/lounge. Seems like that would be a better use of the real estate than a "seasonally open" QS.
I won't lie. I do like the new look of the dining area for all star movies. But I will miss the film camera and the small TV infront of it. Last time I ate there they were playing lilo and stitch and I got to eat my waffles infront of it before we left.
Figment is soon popular he really needs to get his own movie along with Dreamfinder of course. Whether he’s in CG form or even better in traditional hand drawn animation with Dreamfinder played by a live actor. What would you think of that Tom?
@ttintagel I definitely agree with the puppet idea, especially if they make it a co-production with the Jim Henson Co and the Creature Shop. I actually met a real puppet Figment with Dreamfinder when I was 5 years old in 1988, and that was one of the most magical experiences of my life. I talked to a real dragon! 😂
Wow, I've finally seen merch on one of your videos that I'm actually interested in. My oldest son loved Figment in the day, and since my sister and I will be in Epcot in February, I'm thinking about getting him the chunky Figment mug. Thanks! And as always, good news segment. Or is that good Figment news?
For the Maintenance Report, why don't you reach out to the WIGS or fan community and ask those who visit Disney World or Disneyland to provide updates for you? The perk could be free attendance to watch the shows, meet & greets with your team, opportunities to participate in the food or merch tours, etc.
Honestly, there are things on rides that are supposed to work that even the people who work in maintenance at the parks don’t know are supposed to move. In order for the list to be comprehensive, the people looking at it would need to know every single thing that is supposed to happen. We had a lot of erroneous reports from people in the parks the first time around, so I would be hesitant to try that again unless we could absolutely verify it.
Hundreds of animatronics, audio recordings, seats, water features, etc. Maintenance checks for everything is unnecessary, chances are something somewhere needs to get fixed. Round the clock. Haha
I find it funny how Disney cashes in big time on figment merchandise but not the actual ride that’s in poor shape.
Think about all the money they make off Stitch, who no longer has a ride at all, the ride they did have was terrible when it was open.

@@KM-ni5zt both the figment rides post original figment were way worse then stitch.

Merch is much cheaper to make and gives direct income versus fixing up a ride
Nice job Piano Rob singing Space Mountain's song. Happy 2025! Glad they fixed Sebastian's eyes.
Happy new year!

Im-Tom-prov! Well done Sir! Thank you and the whole WDWNT Team!

Happy New Year,Tom! I am an avid viewer and appreciate your team! You look great! Well wishes for 2025.
GREAT JOB with the improv, Tom! You know we love all things FIGMENT! 😎
Love the song
Woohoo, was able to get 20% off at Fort wilderness campsites. Can't beat that.
Yall - that intro/spacemountain50 video! 🤩 🔥 looks so good

I'm with you tom I don't understand why the tower of terror is the icon. To this day I've never understood why it's not the Chinese theater
I understand it, it’s a legal problem, I just hate it

I saw sabastian’s eyes working in the finale scene on 12/23. I thought of you all because I’d heard your comment on the big lightning lane video.
I love to hear about broken things that actually get fixed in a timely manner.
I’m surprised they aren’t moving triceratops spin to Toy Story Land at HS. They could repurpose it with Trixie
I respect the Maintenance Report takes forever and its not in the cards. But man, what a cool service.

Love it when Tom goes rouge and does his own thing. ❤💕🤣
I love Tortuga lol
The Princess Dairies is cute.
Now I want to see Chris Hemsworth pulling the sword out of the stone.

Have @Wonderful New Space Year's ! // thanks

Maybe he could be a detailed puppet like Yoda. He already has a Muppet voice!

@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 I've seen videos of that puppet Figment! So jealous that you got to meet him and Dreamfinder in person!
Wow, I've finally seen merch on one of your videos that I'm actually interested in. My oldest son loved Figment in the day, and since my sister and I will be in Epcot in February, I'm thinking about getting him the chunky Figment mug. Thanks!
And as always, good news segment. Or is that good Figment news?
$45 for a tumbler, wow
Every time I see one of the tower hotels a part of my soul cries.
No chapters today 😢
13:09 looks cool.
5:48 it does seem like Tortuga Tavern “is not going to make it” and probably will join the list of extinction.
Go Sebastian. So we ARE allowed to talk about non-working animatronics, let's do TBA! Or are we still pretending it all works?
Who is pretending?
16:34 thor: I knew it.
Disney offering discounts? That is news!
i remember sebastian had static eyes in journey of the little mermaid since 2021
More news improv. Make it a reoccurring end segment!
If anyone could pull that sword out I'll bet it's Cap
I need to see The Minnie MouseGuire movie like right now lol. 😂🤣
On January 15th where is the meet up at Magic Kingdom? For Space Mountain and is there a cost?
There is no cost, we’ll release a schedule soon
How long will dino chip and dale still be in dinoland. Thats my favorite part of dinoland

Can I volunteer to ride the rides for the maintenance reports? I got nothing but time!!
There’s already 2 comments on this video from bots lol this is getting out of hand.
On a Disney video too. The pirates of Somalia 😆
You leave the fembots alone. Nick ordered those!

Not the Starbucks support! 🍉🍉🍉
I think you have the lights on too high very bright and washed out
Pecos bills look old and tired……time for a new format and furnishings
Captain America is worthy. Chris Evans is not.
