Yes. Disney's official press release confirms it.
World-Renowned Juggler Joins the 90-Minute Show at Downtown Disney
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Jan. 29, 2010)– La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil announced today that an incredible new act featuring world-renowned juggler Anthony Gatto will be added...
I guess I'll take everyone's word that it will be a clone of DCA's attraction. But I don't understand the reason behind giving it a different name. Virtually every other cloned attraction has the same name as the original. And this seems to go against the idea of "Disney Parks" branding and...
The DCA version is still being called The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure. So I'm wondering why the MK attraction is getting a different name. Is it going to be a different (ie, shortened) version of DCA's ride? Or will it be something completely new?
Lucky the Dinosaur.
Muppet Mobile Labs.
They show up for a few weeks, then get shipped off. Even Remy was originally scheduled to appear at Les Chefs de France for only 5 weeks or so, but they've extended his stay until at least March. :)
I believe that Lee is refering to the drainage/grading schematics that were posted in the "More detailed blueprints" thread:

According to Jim Hill, if you choose to believe him, there's a third-hand report (supposedly started by Marc Davis himself) that the Hat Box Ghost was stripped for parts and put inside the Sam the Eagle animatronic in "America Sings." The parts may now be inside one of the animatronics in Splash...
I don't think that you missed it. You just mislabeled it. The link that you list as:
Liberty Tree Tavern: Complete exterior facade refurb
Is actually for Peter Pan's Flight. At least, that's what the description on page 2 of the document says. :)
I think it was changed sometime in 2007. I took the picture on Dec. 5, 2008.
Thanks! I'd love to see a pic of your figurine, even if you don't post it here. I'm a huge Orange Bird fan.
WDW should still have the pins, but you can also buy them at disneystore.com...
I agree about the citrus swirls being disgusting now. But I bought one for the Orange Bird a little over a year ago and he seemed to enjoy it.
Sadly, the CM working the counter had no idea who he was, and she had no real interest when I tried to explain. A shame.
Luckily the petition is only for DL and not for MK. But a Pacific island (even one that moves, apparently) doesn't make sense for TSI in either park. About the only place it would make sense is in Adventureland.
It should be pointed out that Al's only talking about the budget for the dark ride being "slashed and burned." He makes no mention of Pixie Hollow as a whole being cut.
I remember hearing a rumor somewhere that Tutto Italia would finally get its remodeling sometime in 2010, and it occured to me that the timing of this pizzeria might be related. Sure enough, I ran across this paragraph on the Yesterland site today:
Perhaps this place will be similar to Patina's...
The Notice of Commencement for the new pet care hotel was filed back on 11/24. edwardtc posted a link to it in the WDW Permits thread:

There are several mixed signals about this. While the calendar on the disneyworld.com site lists the show as continuing, the actual Tiana's Showboat Jubilee! page still lists it as ending on January 3rd. On the other hand, disneyauditions.com says that auditions for Tiana (and other characters...
