Wow. I don't get in here much, usually when we're about to open or just did open something. This thread took the cake. Have you ever noticed that it's always the same people who trash everything? And those people hardly ever praise anything? First, concept art is a "concept", things change as...

A couple of things: the West Wing is still very much alive and well. I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't an official Disney video soon showing the animatronics in Enchanted Tales with Belle. We don't serve alcohol at the Magic Kingdom. Just wait until the menu for Gaston's comes out, I think...

Actually, it's the exact opposite. There have been a lot of trees installed around Be Our Guest and Mermaid, and the finished themed concrete is going down in multiple places daily.

Yep, that's him.

Such passion, such animus. I don't know how you can even hear the WEDWay spiel over that infernal dance party thing.

I was wondering when someone would post these.

Huh? Those are antithetical statements.

The team doing the lighting is the same team that did Dumbo, and he turned out pretty good.

It's called 'sheet piling', and is used during construction to hold back soil while you build the permanent footings and walls. There was a ton of it for Mine Train.

Small Detail One item that the local media brought up is that he was carrying his firearm during the robbery, so it went from larceny to felony armed robbery, up to 30 years.

What are GR folks?

That's been said a couple of times, and it's not true. They changed the design to include the Mine Train in the middle of the project. Now we're building a brand new design with a brand new ride system with a late start. Plus, it's a large attraction, horizontally and vertically. Throw in the...

Just Curious When rides break down, especially your favorite ones, do you ever take time to just walk around the park? Have you ever found/noticed the minutae? Some of the smallest details make the most impact.

Ticket Booth That was actually a pretty insightful clip. Throughout construction, areas and buildings get called different things. There are working titles that change as marketing and research get involved (I don't know a single Imagineer that doesn't call Dinosaur "CTX"), and nicknames given...

Moe Glee

Sorry, I have to agree with the original poster. There are countless people who spend the entire day at food and wine, who have no recollection of changing monorails before arriving at the Grand Floridian or Contemporary.

After a bit of thought about the irony of me posting about acronyms, I've changed my position. WED, as it is used for the department of the Walt Disney Company, isn't an acronym. The legal name for imagineering was WED. Although WED is an acronym, WED Enterprises is the name of the business. If...

One of a Kind Toontown Fair is gone, but in my house hangs a portrait of "Our Current Judge", Mickey Mouse. My wife cried when I brought it home.

The problem is that they build most of their rides around their movies, so the choices are limited. If I could choose, I'd like to see a movie about B. Jones, who lives at RFD #82.

That's not where they're going, but you're getting warm.
