Until they re-open the Sleeping Beauty walk through, the castle is an "empty" building too.

With this being the "castle" at the end of the road for DCA, aren't guests going to naturally want to go inside?? It seems odd to me that Disney would build this thing and leave it empty.

Even if they don't do a Walt Disney Story, they should at least come up with something else for the space.

I think we need to give the guys who originally designed this park a trophy. The theme is so restrictive, infrastructure so messed up, that they have truly stumped the highest paid creatives on the planet as to what to put in a central iconic park defining weenie.
I vote DVC sales center.

Like it or not, the park is still about CA. Maybe the Golden Dreams theater will be moved to the Carthay Circle. The seats, film, film equipment are all already there on property and paid for. Make the Carthay version a smaller theater and there - you're done. I don't hate Golden Dreams and think a park about CA needs at least one ride that celebrates it and its people. Plus locating the ride at the front of the park might help it. That and higher attendance since hopefully the park will finally be busy

Yeah, the original rumors/plans had "Golden Dreams" moved to the front of the park...why not move it there for now, just so there is not another empty building/facade. The movie's done, it's on theme, etc.

I wouldn't get to upset because of the Disney story. It gives WDI an oppurtunity to build something else inside in the near future.

Also not the whole building will be empty only the area that was going to occupy the interactive museum

They ought to just make it a walk-through Walt history exhibit with one of the new generation AA figures of Walt smiling, waving and saying random expletives. It would fit the new theme they're trying to infuse.

Why dont they keep the facade empty. Then tear down Bugs Land and build Great Movie Ride 2 :)

Great idea! DCA could use one of those really long boring air conditioned rides to take naps in.

"It gives WDI an oppurtunity to build something else inside in the near future."

Something cartoon themed, no doubt...
