While I think this project is doing a lot of good and fixed much of the exit/entrance problem at studios, I'm disappointed they made the route to Disney Springs so inconvenient. You literally have to drive around the entire park to get there.

Wow! Apparently quite a few locations were being considered for Apple. What I heard from some people on opening team was that Apple was originally headed to the Coke building and that's why the building has a very sleek glass facade covering the brick underneath. Therefore the "Today at Apple"...

Well... they can't. Years ago Disney was asked to permanently retire the full body Muppet characters. I can't remember if it was by the Jim Henson Company when they still owned them or Muppet Studios... Regardless, those in charge of the brand image at Muppet Studios will probably never allow...

This actually is an idea that was considered for Grand Avenue. Unfortunately, the catwalks behind the buildings do not meet the safety standards the company needs in order to perform a live show in the modern day. Modifications would be cost prohibitive. Muppet Babies would have been AMAZING to...

I'm fascinated you're impressed by the Whomping Willow. My first time I rode, I thought it was broken because only the one branch moves. For me, it's not so much the screens that make universal attractions sub-par. It's the lack of a physical connection to integratd them to the real world...

Yup! I can't speak for how long BatB was intended to run (I expect it was similar), but I do know that Mermaid was intended to run for 2 years. 27 years later... Because they cut Kiss the girl due to staging issues and time constraints. Imagine Ariel and Eric on a boat in the middle of the...

Which brings us right back to my original post. I feel if they update the show to make it so that the stunt actors are actually supposed to be portraying Indy, Disney will have a hard time finding actors that look like him and can do the stunts. This was the point I was trying to make. It would...

Nope. No research. This is all speculation based on what I know about the current state of the entertainment industry in Orlando. What I do know is that there are very few actors currently at Indy that I personally would consider "face character" quality. They look more like body doubles. I say...

Perhaps I'm just too critical, but I feel much of the current cast just doesn't quite fit the look of a younger Harrison Ford. I understand that's how it works in Hollywood, but I feel it's harder to find the look AND the talent in Orlando these days.

Maybe they would announce it. They're currently too preoccupied with the GE test and adjust to expedite the opening of MMRR. I'd expect it to open after GE's opening day but before RotR.

Also, I'm confused as to how they're going to find enough stunt performers who actually look like Harrison Ford. If it becomes more of a story-driven show, the look of the actors should theoretically matter a whole lot more from a casting perspective. Currently the actors are just Indy's stunt...

Also, dont ever assume an audition posting is a sign that a show is safe. Regular auditions are required by the Actor's Equity Association so any show with performers on an Equity contract will hold auditions whether they need people or not. Also, new performers for Disney Junior Live on Stage...

Interesting to hear the rumor about Indy. Not sure if it's happening, but it sounds likely. By the same token, plans can easily be changed before 2020. At the very least it needs a refurb. The sets are in rough shape. VoLM and BatB are both MAJOR people eaters - specifically VoLM because it...

If they could at least replace it with something that blends - Maybe a nice, gently arched canopy that is about half the height with a silver metal roof and no tacky vinyl tarp facade.

Since EPCOT seems to playing the whole nostalgia card coupled with misappropriated IP's, how about Toad Track (Mister Toad's 2.0)? It will be a nice, quality attraction that will simultaneously please and anger fans. You know, because Mr. Toad visited EPCOT and actually drove through World of...
