One question- should we expect any updates/changes/closures to Buzz in the Magic Kingdom? Or is Space Ranger Spin safe for the foreseeable future?
Safe through the 50th.

I'll take part. @Disnerd2003, are there any planned refurbishments and changes for MK's Haunted Mansion like Hatbox or the like?
I've been fighting for Hatbox since I started my tenure. It will get TLC but nothing much else. Hatbox may get approved with any luck.
All I'm saying is no one at Disney has their hands on it.

Honestly, he’d have to be at least this highly placed to know all the things he’s claiming to know.

He would. But it gives me pause that many of the things he's saying here contradict what our insiders with good, long term track records have said.

A few Imagination questions since it's arguably one of the most anticipated refurbs.
- Are ride details set in stone?
- Is Dreamfinder planned to be included?
- Is IP or the comics involved?
- Will the ride length be increased similar to the original?
- Is/was a plus of the original incarnation ever on the table?
- Will Imageworks go back upstairs?
- Will the Rainbow Corridor return (and was its return ever considered as previously reported)?

Overall Resort Related:
Resort Fee? - If so, then when?
Any concern about the current pricing model and are they looking to Phase Out (or drastically change the AP model)?
Are the price increases about crowd control or is it a cash grab? Probably a bit of both but which is the main reason.
What happened with the Skyliner?
Is the new GF walkway a precursor to a new resort?
Does anyone at Disney realize how bad the food quality is and that the non-Disney run places are far better? And are there plans to address this?

it needs some major TLC though (buzz I mean, as does pooh), but buzz is getting really bad its appalling to me they cant give it some love. between that and stitch sitting there empty......aside from that though, will the PeopleMover still see some love for the 50th? (please bring back the previous narration it was so much better and more creative and themed).

@Disnerd2003 Is Joe Rohde around? What is he engaged in? Has the Yeti actually been pulled out and worked on and returned to the attraction? What is the Yeti problem?

Good to hear it’s not dead
There’s a number of older entertainment offerings that I, and many... hopefully, would consider ‘survivors’ and elevated to an ‘untouchable’ status - they’ve become so much a part of the soul of their place that to remove them would irreparably damage the place itself. Dapper Dans. Voices of Liberty. Mariachi Cobre. Studios Streetmosphere. Are things so desperate in entertainment that any of those have ever been considered for outright removal? Is there anything, save a Mickey meet and greet, that we can rest assured is safe?
On a related tangent, I’m convinced the only reason the Electrical Water Pageant still floats is because it’s basically been forgotten about... but I also consider that such a deep soul of the property that I can’t imagine 7SL and Bay Lake without it. Tell me someone’s got its back and is hiding it from Chapek?

Thank you so much for all your replies and information @Disnerd2003 
All your answers seem reasonable and plausible to me. I want to believe. 
Ooh, mysterious. My guess is that it is Figment-related somehow. Maybe the path leads to the Imagination pavilion and/or Figment has a larger role in World Celebration.
I thought there were already 3 missions created. I do hope they will add more to make SR more re-rideable. I did both SR and Star Tours last night and hate to say that I still like Star Tours better.
