I have no doubt that WDI is sensitive about this as well and so they will do all they can to integrate SB into the park in the best way they know how. They are great at this and I'm behind them all the way. But you can only do so much. You cannot avoid the giant queue that ends up dominating...

Yes, it was my first week at WED. I was sitting next to Midori Barnes, the Audio Engineer for the show. Most of those "extras" worked on the attraction design, I was just a seat filler back then, but proud to be such.

Main Street is thematically "broken" or at least you can say that it has evolved into something very different than what was intended. The world has indeed changed and the success of the park has made the real estate insanely valuable so it begs to be exploited at the lowest common denominator...

Glad you enjoyed part one, we are not that far from heading into part three.

Even if they themed it, and they likely will, Starbucks by it's mere presence on a street corner symbolizes for many the commoditization and "blanding" of cities. What will be next? Ye old "Gap" or what about a themed "Subway" under the RR Station? I love Starbucks and buy their products with...

I was in the Orlando area on business and sadly had to choose what to use my several free hours on. I voted for Test Track and passed on NFL.

Visited EPCOT for few hours and rode Test Track. Nice upgrade, Very few guests used the "design and test your car" interactive idea, so to that extent the story was a bit meaningless. The single rider line was so short that it bypassed the design stations. In "Innoventions", I liked the IBM...

There will likely be a ride system that will allow it to be a reality. It may have been ahead of it's time.

Heading to Orlando tomorrow for a few days, if i can, I will get over to see the New Fantasyland.

Marty has never been one to fuel controversy, so it depends on your expectations. There are some passages that have him speaking out about park operator Dick Nunis. From what I hear, it's most interesting as a compliment to "Disney War" as Marty had a seat at the table during those years. So his...

Has anyone read Marty Sklar's new book? Have not gotten mine yet,but plan to scan it. http://www.amazon.com/Marty-Sklar/e/B00DXGWXRG

I cannot imagine Bob being ok with that photo op...Princess Leia might have been a better choice.

I spoke with Tony also and he did know about Figment because he had to tell them where it was, but I don't think he knew about Darth Vader or requested it.

It had to be intentional. Especially at D23.

True, in that prescribed courses can turn out formulaic students. I could just draw good enough to visualize an idea, and fortunately could also "sell" the vision as a pitchman. Not everyone has both skills, but being a Washer Salesman at Sears was valuable experience! Ya gotta love the "Lady...

No. It's funny you say that, as two people i know gave her my number but have not heard anything.

Here's a nice recap on Tony for those of you who don't know how he got to where he is. I like the fact that Maxine Merlino, the Dean of Arts saw his talent, leveraged his passions and let him pursue his dream rather than force him to do something that was not a part of his imagined career path...

I heard that in the press version Darth is cropped out..

I'd do them as tanning beds for the return trip to LA!

Spoke with Tony today and he feels that there was a door to the Microscope scene, maybe even a small hatch at one time leading into the show, but never really went exploring the ride, so he did not have much more than that. He also mentioned that there was a Monsanto sponsor apartment/lounge in...
