    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

    Ahhh...those were the days. Back when Disney didn't make announcements simply to boost that week's stock price, only to turn around and shelve the announcment and pretend it was never made....

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

    Well, this doesn't sound like projections that would bring about a Star Wars land, DHS redo, and Avatar - in addition to the rumored projects for Disneyland. If anything, something like this would encourage Disney to continue their "wait and see" philosophy before giving anything the greenlight.

    DHS CARS LAND

    I would just be thrilled for anything of substance to be done at this point. The rumor mill keeps spinning, but we seem to be going nowhere. And given that we have now begun the new fiscal year, and there seems to be no real buzz of an announcement anytime soon, I can't help but feel like we...

    News and observations from the past month

    Amazingly, this will probably all be completed before we see anything new from Disney. Something has to give at the Mouse House. They need to pull the trigger on something if they are going to take a half decade on any project anymore.

    Disney chief trumpets MyMagic+, Avatar Land

    This doesn't have anything to do with how long it takes them to build something. Just sayin.

    Disney chief trumpets MyMagic+, Avatar Land

    Not to say the PLAN isn't to move Avatar there, but there is cost savings regardless, by closing off the "camp area" which was really only used for meet and greets and the show. By reducing the park's footprint, there are significant savings in maintenance, upkeep, etc.

    Disney chief trumpets MyMagic+, Avatar Land

    A few thoughts....1) It gives the illusion of "something's happening" 2) An excuse to build a permanent, enclosed home for FotLK (which will rate well with guests), 3) One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

    I agree. And given that it takes forever to move or greenlight any decisions even within Disney internally - when you add a third party like James Cameron - good luck getting anything approved. I have been absent from the discussion boards here for awhile, to take a break in the hopes that...

    Disney chief trumpets MyMagic+, Avatar Land

    Honestly, I can totally see them waiting....and waiting...and waiting. The construction in Downtown Disney, along with whatever changes/expansion is coming to DHS, will be a great excuse to push the project into the next decade or cancel it all together.

    Because at this rate, we will probably all be in wheelchairs before it's completed? That alone is a failure in my book. Disney's projections for this project over 2 years ago will certainly not be relevant now or whenever they actually decide to break ground. And that will be another...

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

    October 1 is a week away. September is usually a popular time to announce the next year's projects, right? So...with no hint of an announcement coming soon, I am starting to think we are gearing up for another year of nothing....?

    'Bamboo' living statue coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom next week

    I suppose this fills the "Addition for the Quarter" quota for Walt Disney World property....

    Disney launch 'Limited Time Magic' for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in 2013

    In the running for one of the dumbest ideas so far. They should just give it up.

    Walt Disney Imagineering reshuffles creative leadership at Walt Disney World

    Could be good news. But doesn't really matter unless Disney starts greenlighting projects. Even with all the rumors and buzz, I can't help but be skeptical we will see anything worth getting excited about anytime soon. I am hoping I am dead wrong. In the meantime, plenty to be psyched about...

    Why Hollywood Studios is being rebuilt

    I heard something similar this past weekend from a friend who works in corporate. Usually when he knows something and can't say anything - I get a smile and a wink. But when I asked about these projects, I got a flat "no." This will be a very interesting expo. Expectations are extremely...

    Screamscape gives rumored timeline when last LMA shows will be performed

    However, they aren't at any stage yet. In fact, we don't even have confirmation anything has the greenlight yet for DHS. Universal is currently showing that projects can be up and off the ground in record time - if the appropriate drive is there to do it. If Universal can do it - there is...
