    Downtown Disney expansion to be officially announced Tuesday 12 March

    I agree. Not going to make me book a trip, but certainly something I can enjoy when at WDW. With things moving forward with clearing out camp Minnie mickey and assuming Pandora gets built and the info that a DHS makeover is serious, then in a few years there will be plenty new to enjoy...

    Downtown Disney expansion to be officially announced Tuesday 12 March

    Thanks for posting these. How recent were these plans from and do you or anyone know if this is the final design they went with? If so, I approve. Looks good.

    Spirited News & Observations II -- NGE/Baxter

    The problem I ran into using the app is the need to refresh it manually. May or may not be the issue you are facing, but otherwise when I used it in December and January it was always spot on. We also need to remember the meaning of "test". Ideally everything would work out seamlessly, but...

    Downtown Disney rumor

    Interesting plans and certainly much more ambitious than just a retheme of Pleasure Island. The success depends on what will be occupying all this new space, so I look forward to hearing about that in the months ahead. The one thing I'd still like to see is a theater for either a permanent...

    AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    The release says 5 years to design AND build...which seems about right based on other major projects of similar size. Two or so years of designing and three some years for building. That goes with the original announcement in September 2011, which said construction to start in 2013 and Bob Iger...

    Splitsville price changes

    Unless different then last week, there was a change in pricing, compared to when it first opened, but makes more sense IMO. Before it was $15 a person for 1hr 30 min no matter how many people were bowling in that lane. Price is still $15 a person, but length of time depends on number of...

    I think the supposed attachment would be very helpful to have to see if the questions and concerns raised were truly addressed. Plus, I'd like to see their answers to some of those questions for my own benefit. Will check back later to see if anyone gets a hand on it to post.

    I agree. The tone as described above would have been more appropriate. I suspect it was worded as such was to make a public stand that the assertions in the letter were "wrong", and to emphatically state such, whether we agree with that it not. The letter made it into the general press and I...

    I think they had to publicly derail the assertions the congressman made and make them seem uneducated, whether you personally believe they were or not. It does come off defensive, but I have to agree, why didn't the congressman or his staff try and contact them before putting together a public...

    Rumor-Spectro probably isn't coming back

    To me, the music is what I always enjoyed the most as well. I'd actually prefer an updated new parade with that music anyway, but not expecting that by any means.

    Rumor-Spectro probably isn't coming back

    That is very sad. Truly inexcusable in my opinion as well. Where were they being stored anyway? 2 million+ may not be a budgeted cost for this year, but what does a new parade cost? They really need to do something in the parade department.

    Even if it turns out to be terrible, I suspect Universal has to care some. It seems that one of the reasons behind all this is, like Magic your Way Tickets and moreso Magical Express, is to try and to keep (or effectively force) folks who come to Orlando to book at Disney hotels and then stay on...

    New Fanstasy Land - effects not working.

    To continue the positive trend: this is a new (well at least to me) effect that is now working that is pretty neat: (courtesy of OTPN) Hopefully we won't have to add this to the list of non-working effects in the future ;)

    Spirited News and Observations and Opinions ...

    I didn't think I was being argumentative. It just seems their own published policies differ from some of what's being discussed and i wanted to better understand. I may just be naive and they will change all their privacy policies. I'm not sure how I feel yet about this whole thing until I see...

    Spirited News and Observations and Opinions ...

    That's a pretty big "if" if you ask me to lump on third party companies as part of a Walt Disney company brand. I believe the "among others" would include truly Disney affiliated companies not listed such as DreamWorks, Lucas films, Lifetime, among others. Not just companies they contract...

    Spirited News and Observations and Opinions ...

    Is that really true though? Per Disney's own privacy policy, the Disney Family doesn't seem to include any company that they just happen to work with. Maybe it does, but from the published policy: "The Walt Disney Family of Companies refers to The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiary and...

    But beyond the possibility that it "could" or perhaps even been discussed or considered, nothing released thus far seems to suggest that. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just curious (and concerned).

    I did, and directly from the Disney Experience FAQs on privacy: "We will only share information about you that is automatically collected through your use of the RF Device with third-parties for their marketing uses if you elect that we do so." I guess this can always change, but for now it...

    Just for my own curiosity, is this a published fact or your opinion? You may very well be right and I will need to read the terms and agreement more carefully. I fully suspect by using my magic plus I need to agree that they can "track" me, but am i also agreeing to have my information sold to...

    Maybe I missed something, but even if Disney ultimately plans to use your data or your purchase history at the parks to sell to third party companies for marketing purposes, won't I have to agree to that? In basically anything you sign up for today, you're giving the option whether you want to...
