The France pavilion movie "Impressions de France" has gone digital. It is the same movie and same soundtrack, no changes, the only thing that changed was the media. I heard that it is greatly improved really crisp and clean images and remastered it and adjusted some color and some alignment...

The Inferno Barge is scheduled to be out for rehab from April 27 - May 27.

The Holiday ROE w/ Peace on Earth Tag will be exactly the same this year again. No other changes are coming anytime soon, next year maybe. I also heard that Showcase Plaza Xmas Tree stage and Lights of Winter aren't ever coming back. First, (like most times) it's about money, it is expensive...

I don't know if anyone has noticed but the Mexico Boat Ride (Gran Fiesta Tour) during the last couple of weeks, all the film projectors have been changed out to digital video projectors. Slowly, they will be replacing all the film with video. After Star Tours shut down, there is only a couple...

La Hacienda de San Angel is scheduled to open on Sept. 15 for table service and La Cantina de San Angel will be open for counter service. But, of course, this is the scheduled date, it might have a soft open or could open later depending on how the finishing touches and operations go.

Now, when you get stuck behind the China Bridge when it opens to let the Earth Globe and Fountain Barges out, there is new audio soundtrack with mixed in fun facts about the Illuminations show. There is one show when they take the barges out to the lagoon during the day and then a different one...

The new Cantina has been progressing quite nicely and the updated ROE package for lighting the Cantina should be great. A lot more strobes and rim lighting. Also at Mexico. Donald's M&G area is almost done. Really nicely done Mayan architecture with great theming, fits in good with the...

Right now, they are preparing to close HISTA on May 10. Last week it was going to be May 2. They have decided to upgrade the audio system and that is about it, they don't want to change it much because they will have to change it back again to HISTA after EO has had it's run of a year or so...

Here is a list of countries that were actually one time or another considered to be added to World Showcase by WED/WDI. Some were maybe considered 20 or 30 years ago and some maybe more recent, there isn't any dates and times. The ones that were more heavily considered actually attractions and...

There will be an encore performance of ROE on Monday nightabout 11:50pm for convention guests

There is going to be photographers at the Epcot Tree today, they will be on a 12 foot ladder taking many photos, and they need extra assistance to make sure the tree stays on because of the problems they have been having lately with the lighting contactor (or it is obsolete technology also?)...

I heard that the Mexico Cantina demolition/construction will begin Jan 4, so they will have a bigger and better new Cantina and will eventually improve traffic flow in the area also.

The POE tag at the end of ROE will be exactly the same show as last year, at least programming wise, there will some cutback on the amount of product, but not too much. A lot of stuff from PI are heading Epcot's way. They just recently gutted Motions and now all that equipment and usuable...

I thought it was interesting because there interviews with the current and past Epcot VP's. http://thedailydisney.com/blog/2009/11/web-site-interviews-current-and-former-disney-world-execs/

The name for the new Fantasyland expansion area is being called Fantasy Forest. Jay said there will be many more surprises for the area and also a coaster announcement. I guess he still wants to keep some secrets about the new area.

I heard they are developing a ride for Innoventions. It will be like a design your own ride experience, probably like a cross between Cyber Space Mountain and a Robocoaster.

Bob Iger was vacationing with his family this week at WDW. (I bet he didn't have to stand in any lines) At Epcot, he saw the Flower and Garden Festival, played Kim Possible, saw Chef Remy at France and then visited the new DVC properties at Contemporary, DAK Lodge, and the Treehouses.

There will be a lot of media all this week at WDW. Birnbaum is shooting it's photo cover at Epcot today. There is a private party for the whole park at AK Tuesday night. There is a press event Thursday morning for Kim Possible, and then another press event on Friday for American Idol. There...

The Inferno Barge is supposed to be out for 3 - 4 week rehab starting Sunday.

Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure is officially open today. I'm not sure if they are doing something special or not or giving away pins or anything, but it is officially open now but the Press Event won't be until next week, maaybe they are announcing other things also?
