No idea why Facilier would get a shop or why anyone would expect one.
They are deliberately choosing to exclude him. I don't like it, but let's also not pretend he's the "one thing" that people like about The Princess and the Frog.

Yes - why would Disney opt to not go through with a possibly taboo Voodoo-themed Store?

I mean First Order has a store in the same park
Also cool, it can be the first
I really don't get Disney not wanting to focus on Villain. Besides Westcot, I've heard about Villains land since I was a kid on forums and Disney just refuses to listen to fans....as an event all about villains sells out every year
Anyway. I've said my bit, it just sucks to leave out the last great villain they created from anything in the park
Lollll Disney replaces an attraction in the hopes to not offend people with a film that could also offend peopleYes - why would Disney opt to not go through with a possibly taboo Voodoo-themed Store?
Maybe they are in the wrong business. Princess and the Frog is not an old movie from the 50s

Because it wouldn't be better than Universal's Voodoo themed doughnuts.Yes - why would Disney opt to not open a possibly taboo Voodoo-themed Store?
EDIT: I really don't care whether Dr. Facilier has a store or not, but I'm not sure it's entirely accurate that Dr. Facilier's exclusion is voodoo-related. It's obviously not taboo enough for them to remove Mama Odie as well, so I imagine the prime impetus is just that, within the ride's narrative, Dr. Facilier is already dead.

I really think you gotta get over the "parks don't listen to the fans" thing... Fans shouldn't exclusively dictate what comes to a park. Inform their decisions when prudent, sure. But you also need to accept that actually "listening to the fans" means not doing what you as an individual want. In fact, I'd bet the opinion of the majority of the "fans" does not typically align with what you want.
Are we talking about Disney or Universal?
And I'm sorry - but while the name may have Voodoo, everything about that place is hippie culture and weird aesthetics; and the Universal versions are still sterilized from the normal stores' stuff. Dr. Facilier is a voodoo caricature that explores the dark corners of the voodoo world ( which is Hoodoo, if we want to get technical about it all)
Which is probably why they aren't opting for a movie retelling but instead focusing on the "happily ever after".

Wow, so for a period of time, there will be no rides open on that side of the park between Pirates and Rise.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! The rafts to Tom Sawyer’s Island and the Davy Crockett canoes would like a word!

It sounds like Disneyland Forward got through the first round of approvals. I doubt there will be too many more hurdles with the Anaheim city council.
I'm cautiously optimistic.

That's not "new" details. That was part of the initial announcement. The only thing "new" is the official name of the fireworks..
Must be a slow news day

I don't work at Imagineering, so I wouldn't know. Congrats to Joe though.

Fresh baked has some video of the HM on the side near Splash without nears there....looks...so weird, lol
Also crowds since the 50 dollar kids tickets went away seem pretty tame for it being spring break time
