    Bob Iger "I don't think Figment is going anywhere any time soon, I promise"

    Make no mistake: Personally, I'll believe they're actually doing work on that pavilion the day the work actually starts. That said, the last few weeks of rumors and especially after today have left me more optimistic than usual that might actually do something worthwhile with the space, and do...

    Bob Iger "I don't think Figment is going anywhere any time soon, I promise"

    Just before he backpedals into not talking about it, he mentions that the characters (plural) will grow on you, future tense, " from this, maybe from what happens later." Again, future tense, referencing something yet to *maybe* occur that would endear fans not familiar with the original...

    PHOTOS - Construction walls move onto the beach area for Disney's Grand Floridian DVC

    While the new project is a great thing for folks in the DVC, I can't help but think a little of the beauty of the area is being lost. Oh well.

    Figment Refurb?

    The last two times I was on the ride, either something didn't work (DJ figment in the sound room didn't pop up) or the ride got stuck.... As I learned the hard way, getting stuck in the skunk room for almost five minutes, I'm pretty sure, is in fact the seventh circle of hell. Mechanically...

    With the audio transition between the sight and sound labs off by half a second...

    Last time I was on the ride, back in May, the ride broke down while my car was in the smell lab. Possibly the single most unpleasant experience I've had at Disney.

    Figment, Dreamfinder, Water Tower?

    Saw the video. I'm a tough nut to crack, but there was something about seeing Dreamfinder back after all these years that bought a tear to my eye. I grew up visiting and adoring old school, classic EPCOT - and to see even just an, ahem, figment of it reappear at a Disney-sanctioned event is...

    Brazil Pavilion in Epcot?

    A quick heads up: Had the privilege to be backstage at Epcot today, and a large majority of the area between Mexico and Norway has been roped off with new-looking yellow caution tape. In the past most of the empty World Showcase lots were used as prop storage, etc - but the entire area looked...

    photopass magic shots?

    One heads-up about the Stitch Kingdom list: There are in fact no set specific times that magic shots are available, and indeed a lot of times it's going to come down to your photographer's preference. Most photo locations have at least two different magic shots minimum that a photographer...

    TDL keeping Captain Eo

    Officially, the division is known as "Team Disney", with the management team responsible for Walt Disney World Resort known as "Team Disney Orlando" to differentiate themselves from the other Disney management teams (Anaheim, Hong Kong, Burbank, et al.). The name "Team Disney" goes back...

    Universe of Energy observation 4/24

    Ideally, my preference for the show runs pretty much in the same general direction as what most people have already said: New film. Bill Nye can stay (The man's show hasn't been on the air in the US for ten years but he still has remarkable name recognition - and as his presentations at...

    Universe of Energy observation 4/24

    Every time I'd ever been to the attraction in the past, the cast members would always throw in at least a few mentions of the Ellen title...this is the first time I've been there that it wasn't even mentioned a single time. In fact, at one point a CM started to say the title, but then quickly...

    Universe of Energy observation 4/24

    I was at Epcot for the day today, and noticed something...at no point did any cast member, sign, or spiel make mention of "Ellen's Energy Adventure". This is a pretty stark departure from the last time I was at the attraction three months ago, when you could still find signs and the attraction...
