    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    Now with all of these responses coming in to e-mail. (still waiting for mine) Do any of the 'reliable sources' on here have a working relationship with media outlets... starting with the Orlando Sentinel? Have them start asking questions and try to get an on the record denial of anything...

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    I fear that Splash will be fighting a growing uphill battle against politically correct activists who will campaign to change Splash because of its Song of the South link to race.

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    Then come up with a generic story for the Tower and expunge the TZ from the ride. The system and look will still be the same, but will be a Haunted Mansion Tower o Terror now. Or as you said... buy the IP.

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    yes, yes, yes, but no. You said it far more eloquently than I did about ToT. I would say redoing this would be akin to gutting the original Imagination ride... but far worse. I may get flamed for this.... but Horizons either needed to be seriously re-imagined or replaced. It had...

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    Unfortunately I don't have time like I once used to peruse the forums all day or constantly on the weekend. Sadly my vacation funds have to be replenished from actual work. So when one comes across news/rumors like this... it is quite a devastating pill to take... but because it is not...

    Disney After Hours Event

    Here is my curiosity on this venture.... I haven't had time to read through all of the responses, so sorry if any of this might've been answered. I'm concerned that the # tickets handed out will equal the Halloween and Christmas event nights. If so, this doubling of price for a late evening...

    New expensive "interactive" merch - Haunted Mansion Ghost Post

    Doesn't matter if you think its too pricey, wasteful spending, or not. Its a Disney product and there are thousands of avid collectors out there, and those that will buy stuff on a whim. This was quick and slick marketing, and it apparently worked. Love it or hate it: Sold out = success.

    Expedition Everest effects status watch

    You don't know the difference because of the disco lighting used in b-mode. Unless you are familiar with the ride, the effects betray the senses as you can't easily reference whether the Yeti is actually moving. When it operates and is lit per the original specs.... the movement is quick...

    Planet Hollywood unveils redesign for Disney Springs

    The pic someone posted from March 8 really doesn't speak to me that PH will be ready for a Summer 2016 open date. The entire outside looks like crap, compared to what the concept art says it will look like. Unless all they will do is put on a fresh coat of paint.

    Premium Parking coming to Walt Disney World's parking lots?

    Don't give them any ideas... or else they'll install wrist band readers in the busses to collect fares... (oops on me)

    No outside food and drink in WDW parks?

    Wrong park.... a place has just opened up down the road for that dance party.

    Premium Parking coming to Walt Disney World's parking lots?

    The sad news is that Parking costs will continue to rise, just as ticket prices will. Yes it is/could be a service that I, 98.5% of the time, would not use... but because this news is coming at the same time as the resort fees, seasonal ticket pricing tiers, overall ticket price increases...

    Premium Parking coming to Walt Disney World's parking lots?

    Excuse my french..... but WHAT THE +#$@@*&#!!! My tolerance level is pretty high.... but this news/rumor is sending me over the edge. :mad::mad: I enjoyed the use of the Diamond pass program while it was around, and it gave me an extra 500-1000 walking steps per park... but I am never...

    Disney Survey on implementing a $15 resort fee

    Uh-oh!! :greedy: Its almost like baggage fees on airplanes... another way to boost the bottom line without actually raising fares.

    Disney Survey on implementing a $15 resort fee

    But do the onsite resort Wifi beacons have separate access IDs vs the in park wifi? I haven't stayed on property in a while, but wondering if they could differentiate the two? It would sure of day guests who might have a reservation to Chef Mickey's, but can't get on WiFi to make FP+...

    Disney Survey on implementing a $15 resort fee

    a $15 per night fee on top of the cost of the resort, Florida tourism fees and taxes, a trip to a value resort just became a whole lot more expensive. $90 - $105 looks like more of a cash grab. For those staying in DVC or Deluxe resorts, this is a rounding amount... but a stay at the value...

    Soarin' Expansion and new Soarin' Around the World film

    So will it be a 100% switch to a new movie... or will they have two different shows? Net activity at work is slow this week, so I haven't been able to go back into the thread for this info.

    I will also need a maroon and burnt orange wrist band with a Mickey in a VT Hokies football uniform. I've already got the T-shirt, now I just need the matching wrist band. ;)
