    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    I'd rather they just start from scratch, using the expansion space behind Energy, too: Cranium Command revamp with Inside Out Adventures Through Inner Space revival Body Wars-esque family coaster as the headliner They could even have the two rides share show scenes (like PeopleMover does in...

    Rumor: Details on Disney's Hollywood Adventure

    I wouldn't really say that... $500 million/yr for Universal's parks adjusts $1.25 B-$1.5 B/yr at the Disney parks, with their extra-bloated budgets. If Comcast spent $1 billion/yr on Universal Orlando, we'd be getting 5 new attractions, updates for existing ones and a hotel expansion/new hotel...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    Most likely the budget is: DHS redo (groundbreaking/construction)- $2.25 billion DHS parking garages/reworked infrastructure/demolition for redo- $750 million Epcot - $500 million MK - $500 million $4 billion for WDW over a 7-10 yr period. Not including Frozenstrom, Soarin' update/3rd...

    Rumor: Details on Disney's Hollywood Adventure

    So that $3 billion+ is JUST DHS? Wow... so Epcot/MK are out the window? Either way, it's exciting to see this finally happen.

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    And it's going down every year, too. The point they're trying to make is that TDO sat on their laurels in terms of innovation for the 2010s. With the $2 billion spent on MM+, they could have invested $1 billion into better Wi-Fi, $500 million for Pixar and $500 million for Future World. If they...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    I'm thinking a water play area for the Snowflakes... gotta help them cool down until TSPL's Splash Zone!

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    $3 billion? Just for DHS? DHS better be completely fixed with that price tag :D and I mean Sunset expansion along with Star Wars and Pixar :p all kidding aside, even with reworked infrastructure and two parking garages, that's a lot to work with I'd imagine Epcot/MK would get some of that...

    New Sound Stage Lounge At DHS

    I think Soundstage Lounge is the Pixar E. Just a gut feeling... How will they afford Star Wars Land now??

    Why Hollywood Studios is being rebuilt

    Frozen Summer Fun is the only reason for that. The new exciting additions certainly aren't. Plus, they're slated to close even more by the end of 2016 LMA Magic of Disney Animation Disney Junior Mermaid B&TB (possibly) One Man's Dream 4 people-eating shows, a people-eating pavillion and a...

    Disney and Universal working on Marvel deal for Florida?

    I was just suggesting a much better usage of an area of the park (Toon Lagoon) that will be awkward/out of place after Kong moves in next door, and Marvel takes over the front area. It would bulldoze 2 to make room for 7-8. So we'd get 5-6 new attractions by removing Dudley/JPRA. Which would...

    Universal Studios Signs Deal With Sanrio

    Adding this and My Little Pony would be a pretty brilliant move by Universal to expand their family demos. Same goes for Nintendo, too. Really, they should have turned Gardens of Allah into a 25th-anniversary museum, with some of the Lucy exhibits going there. Then, Hello Kitty could take over...

    Disney and Universal working on Marvel deal for Florida?

    Both look so similar in theme (jungle, both have dinos, etc) that guests really wouldn't mind too much IMO. If you've ever listened to the average theme park visitor, they still think Harry Potter/Universal Orlando are at Disney World, etc. Removing Dudley, Comic Strip Lane and JPRA gives...

    Do we lose track of the fact that WDW is really (in essence) for kids?

    In-park expansion can help... if they do it all at once and don't advertise it. And if any future Ds/Es have 3,500+/hr. But any expansion would have to wait until the other 3 parks are rounded out. By 2025, the other 3 should be relatively set. MK has to expand eventually, though. It'll grow...

    Do we lose track of the fact that WDW is really (in essence) for kids?

    So, TDO is never going to finish fixing the other 3 parks? MK is going to perpetually stay at 33 attractions forever? I know you and CaptainAmerica think otherwise, but MK will grow even if you don't add anything. Even after Star Wars Land, Pandora and a Future World overhaul, MK will either...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    To be fair, Muppets plussing, Mermaid/B&TB replacements and a GMR revamp/upgrade isn't something that would necessarily be included in a big BoD presentation. Those are all things that can be approved from Burbank. Muppets enhancements would be akin to the Hub alterations at MK - nothing...

    Do we lose track of the fact that WDW is really (in essence) for kids?

    Well that's why they've got to fix up the other 3 parks. Once that's done, they need to do little things for MK (increase Peter Pan's capacity, fix up IASW/Splash/Space/Big Thunder, replace Stitch with something worthwhile, make PeopleMover a worthwhile attraction, bring back all of the cut...

    Disney and Universal working on Marvel deal for Florida?

    ;) Really, if they use Doom, the Carnage warehouse, the Toon Lagoon theater and surrounding area, along with the carnival games, that's a huge footprint. You could easily fit an E, a D and a C in all of that. Especially if you move Storm Force to where the TL carnival games used to be. I'd...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    What's sad is that TDO was willing to dump $2 billion on MM+ when that money could have been split between DHS and Epcot. With Pixar Place expanded and the placemaking already done ($1 billion), they would only have had to invest $500-600 million on Star Wars Land for DHS to be in a good...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    I remember seeing a couple insiders on here saying Muppets would get a slightly plussed presence (Mama Melrose replacement and maybe a Kermit/Piggy M&G), rather than replaced/bulldozed. And GMR has been rumored to be upgraded for years lol. Not just pulling it out of thin air. If they're...

    Add in a Muppets mini-land, and a GMR upgrade... for sure ;)
