He's part of the new Disney Brass. He's high on the corporate ladder, he's well liked by WDI, and he's influential. But, most importantly, he and Iger and Lasseter agree; too much leaking of important info is going on. However, I have yet to see any of these supposed layoffs in WDI. I don't...

...even under the new, tight lipped, ultra secretive managment stylings of EdCatmull, John Lasseter and Bob Iger? I've heard Catmull is VERY concerned with the amount of confidential information turning up on the Web the very same day it's told to animators, imagineers, artists &...

Looks cool and everything.... but what they fail to mention is the effect of the forced perspective! Windows, for instance, will be noticeably smaller.

What an angry post.... where to begin.... ??? Actually.... the original name for the pavilion was to be "The Seas". Kind of like "The Land". Here's a photo of the original model. The Seas preshow was originally designed to start out in a cave like area and the concept was that guests...

No apology necessary. I love a good debate as much as the next guy. :) Slightly off topic: my favorite childhood memory of Epcot was the hydrolators. What a great piece of themeing and a great use of "imagination"!

I am a graphic designer.... that hurts my eyes! How would Disney let something that looks that bad make it out to so many people?!

First of all, I will assume that you are biased seeing as you have an Figment avatar. Therefore, I take your incredulous question with a grain of salt. Second: I come here because I can (even with a dial-up connection). I have never been on any of the new versions of this attraction. Every...

...okaaayyyyy..... :veryconfu I wonder if he'll be there in October when I am?

Maybe it's just me... but I never really like Journey all that much. Why is it that everybody goes into full-drool-mode whenever somebody mentions "The Dreamfinder"? To be honest, I thought the red-haired, purple suit coat magician guy was kinda creepy. Don't get me wrong; Tony Baxter is a...

What about the rumor that John Lasseter will bring Animated Shorts back to Disney movies? I read a while back that he got the green light to do two. Any substance to that?

Could this be because of the much rumored movie tie in? It's only been a rumor since 2004 that Disney has had a Jungle Cruise movie (as well as a Swiss Family remake) in the works... More than likely "Soarin' Over the World" from Paris. Why not?! He's everywhere else! You know, I liked the...

One of the largest issues was when Islands of Adventure opened "Dueling Dragons". Beastly Kingdom's center piece was to have been a dragon coaster situated around a castle. Between the time of the original concept sketches and now many Imagineers have been fired and/or laid off; and a few of...

Okay.... a few quick points/questions: That's really a shame. A sinister peak (kinda like Chernabog's mountain) would not only fit well into Fantasyland but Disney could really use something to compete with Universal's Halloween thing that they do. Having a "Villian Village" and letting the...

What ever happened to the "Villian Mountain" concept that was supposed to be the big gate buster attraction to replace 20,000 Leagues? If I remember correctly these supposed plans had guests boarding the ride from inside a "new land" toward the backside of the mountain. The big drop (the...

If there were to be a monorail extension (meaning an entirely new section of monorail track added -- not a new resort added to existing monorail track), wouldn't it make sense to run a line to Downtown Disney? There were plans to put a second monorail station at Epcot (featured in an...

I'm new here, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just a popular myth about the Swan and Dolphin? The way I've heard it is that those huge black glass squares on the outside of the buildings were originally supposed be the areas the monorail would pass through (along with the Epcot...
