They're feeding the bamboo to the pandas. In Avatarland. Shhh! ;)

Wow. You can cut the magic in this thread with a knife. :D

During Food & Wine, they can rename it the Inebriation! pavilion. ;)

But that would be an original Imagineering creation, and I've heard those are frowned upon. It needs to be based on an existing IP to be successful. ;) </sarcasm> Actually -- I'm with you 110%. I'd like to see Disney try out some new, original concepts and characters exclusive to the parks...

Dinner with Dreamfinder? Or, as I prefer to call it, "One Little Spork." ;) Pretty sure I recall Jim Hill mentioning something about character dining being kicked around as an option for Dreamfinder. (Not unless it's Ron Schneider!)

Nah, it's good to speculate. Just seems to be a hot button around these parts. I think the real fifth gate will be Islands of Adventure. Or Legoland. ;) If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em out.

Well, OK, I'll give you that one. Crystal Skull wasn't so hot. ;) Still, those franchises have stood the test of time. Not sure if Avatar will as well, or if it'll go the way of The Matrix -- a popular first entry followed up with two [unnecessary IMHO] franchise killing sequels. I think...

Yeah, I'm not sure how well Avatar is going to age. It'd be like if Disney added an ID4 attraction in the 90s. The movie was huge. Then. Now? Nobody cares. Another case in point: MIB 3 didn't do so hot at the box office. While the first film was a massive success in the 90s (even spawning...

T-Rex. Both are cool, but noisy. And ironically, my daughter was more afraid of the monkeys in Rainforest than the dinos.

Your video has been invoked again, I see. Popular guy. ;) http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/construction-demolition-at-old-imageworks.848106/

The guy who shot this video (nomeus) turned up in this thread: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/flogging-a-dead-horse-imagination-refurbishment-will-it-ever-happen.847350/ He wouldn't tell me how he got past the cast members. ;)

DisneySpace, sponsored by Virgin Galactic.

Well, if we're all fantasizing here... DisneySea USA gets my vote.

As stated before, I don't think Disney has any business creating a fifth gate when 3 of the 4 current parks are in dire need of TLC. It's like Octomom having another round of babies.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, huh? http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2012/08/28/remembering-circus-world-the-theme-park-that-forced-disney-world-to-step-up-its-game-in-the-early-1970s.aspx#.UEgim6RWrfY

I'd agree with that. In fact, "old money" is often classier than the nouveau riche. There's not as much to prove. At least that's been my experience. YMMV. Meanwhile, some of the greediest people I've ever run across have been comparatively poor. (And without divulging too much personal...

How'd you manage to get up there, if you don't mind my asking?

Came across this article: http://www.examiner.com/article/how-walt-disney-innovated-spite-of-the-bureaucracy A bit... (Forgive me if it's been posted before. I'm new.)

I mean, geez, how long did it take to get the first Avatar made? 12 years?
