    WDW to Build New North Entrance to Property

    For the time being. As I understand it, once they move the parking lot exit lanes further east, they will provide (a) booth(s) directly from Floridian Way. Did I hear this incorrectly ?

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    As I understand it, this system will use optical technology to identify each gondola cabin and will be in use at every station. How that will be used at each station I don't know. As always, treat this as just my opinion.

    EPCOT Brazil (and maybe others) Pavilion Coming to Epcot [not about Brazilian people nor a country wish list]

    I was going to start out by saying that I spoke to a bus driver this past weekend but in reality I spoke with an Imagineer, about the future of Epcot. No major secrets were given out but I did get the sense that the long term plans for Epcot were to retire the Future World concept and bring in...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Any chance we'll see the revival of plans for a <high speed> rail system between MCO and the convention center (and now Universal) ?

    Is a fifth gate even possible?

    I have seen early property maps that show a proposed gate on the west side of World Drive, just opposite Epcot. On those maps, Epcot Center Drive was extended to the proposed (now a reality) 429 extension and the new gate was just south of that. The last map I saw of this ilk had additional...

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    That's my understanding of the new show layout. Solves the problem of flying drones over guests heads (unsafe) and having pyro happen at the same time (collision). But of course this is just my opinion.

    News Mickeys Backyard BBQ closing

    This is just my opinion. There is more here than meets the eye - meaning that the DVC will be phase one in a bigger project that includes a relocated HDDR, BBQ, and perhaps another show or two. Re-alignment and redesigns from an old rumored project called Wilderness Junction. BBQ had to go right...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    I was assuming that they would load from both points, the moving rail, for those able to walk on, and the holding rail, for those that need extra time. I noticed that the station at DHS has a gravity switch between the two lines so all the operator needs to do is push the stationary vehicle into...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    My guess is that they want <something> to be running while they remove and replace the existing infrastructure - which will take a while.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Thanks for the drawings. I'm going to guess that you have the building and parking reversed, with the resort directly adjacent to the park. No disrespect, just my guess (and partially based on rumors I have heard from bus drivers!).

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    As long as we are guessing, I'll add my 2 cents. A well-known member of RADP talked about this several years ago, citing the need to replace the Epcot rails and expand the core system to the west end. She said that they had requested quotes from three companies for phase one and that with such a...

    News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

    Throwing a monkey-wrench into the discussion. Throwing a monkey-wrench into the discussion. I just love it when someone posts things like this - as if anything short of a massive sinkhole would stop Disney from building / re-building something. I emailed a WDI CM that sometimes posts to USENET...

    News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

    The utilidor runs diagonally from approx center street to where the cast cafeteria is behind the Terrace. Then it runs under the buildings until it turns north near TL. So there is partial exposure but not very far INTO the parking lot.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    My opinion is that the thought of adding another entrance has never even been brought up. Not that it would be so difficult to add one (explosives and all) but that adding one would require a large amount of re-thinking and re-design concerning that corner of the park. Although the area is not...

    News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

    Perhaps. My opinion is that Disney will reuse the Town Square Theater SPACE, essentially disconnecting access from the Hub frontage (Tony's and the shop there) and adding a new entrance, facing North, in the bypass area. I would also assume that they will extend the existing building to the...

    News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

    I have nothing specific to add except to say that I really liked HEA (live). I was able to follow the story line, which was obviously intended to simply outline the projections and pyro. The music was great. I was worried when Tinkerbell didn't START the show but relieved when she finally showed...
