After reading the initial and subsequent posts, I had three immediate reactions. First, Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House and the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian are not freestanding structures. The villas are housed within the sole, main building. To me, it seems odd that a third...

Frankly, I do not understand why the Creations Shop is dedicated to Mickey Mouse. If the idea behind the reimagining of this merchandise location was to blend contemporary style with elements of original EPCOT, then why not dedicate the shop to Figment? Would it really have been that difficult...

Yehaa Bob deserves commendation for responsiveness. When he lost his position with TWDC because of COVID-19, Bob pivoted and continued his relevancy. Bob was active on social media and continued to build his brand. Over the past several months, I received notifications, via Facebook, that Bob...

More odd than a 6-story, white T-shaped tower with a red roof within a few hundred feet of a 6-story brown tower with an orange roof?

A little Sunshine Bird once told me that the Tangaroa Terrace building would be razed and a DVC tower constructed on its site. The longhouse would be comparable in size to Pago Pago, but taller than the existing longhouses. This would keep the 50-year leasehold condominiums clustered on the...

FastPass and FastPass+ are unacceptable because there is no use of an IP tie-in. To make this product more timeless, more relevant, more family, and more Disney, it is necessary to use Lightning McQueen. Remember those "I'm with the Band" t-shirts when MagicBands were launched? I am sure...

I opened my poster and it is #296. Prior to my purchase, the cast member had said five remained, so they may have been #296 - 300.

Yes, we used an annual pass and received a discount. I suspect they appeared sometime today. We had lunch at the Regal Eagle and visited the Art of Disney afterwards. It was around 1pm and the poster was not on display when we were at the register looking at the sequoia carved sculptures...

If you are at Epcot and looking for the original Harmonious poster, 5 remain at the Art of Disney, which is located in the American Adventure pavilion.

Construction walls were added overnight. It seems that the reimagining will occur in phases, from right to left.

I started visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in the early 1980s. For me, the monorail resorts have been and continue to be iconic and quintessential WDW. While I am not opposed to a fourth monorail resort, I fear the design and execution. The Vegas-style tower at Coronado Springs, Marriott...

Previously, three sites were proposed by @Magic Feather and @marni1971 : (1) Entrance, (2) Innoventions, and (3) Land/Seas. If this resurrected rumor is true, then Innoventions West seems like the most reasonable possibility because the building has been razed and the site is prepared for...

Within the past few days, several sources have announced that GM is aiming to offer all electric vehicles by 2035. Below, please find the NPR 4-minute listen, which was posted today: General Motors Sets All-Electric Target For Vehicles By 2035 With the Disney-GM commercial preceding the...

About 20 years ago, at the beginning of the century, there was an earnest desire to reduce animal programs and, specifically, raze The Living Seas. Much to the chagrin of many EPCOT Center purists, the pavilion received an IP overlay, which actually saved it from demolition. The loss of the...

When executives of the Walt Disney Company speak, I often recall a quote from William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. The quote is, "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose." To me, whenever something executives know to be controversial is to be announced, someone, somewhere in the...

I wholeheartedly agree. The realization of an interactive pavilion where guests are encouraged to explore and touch displays seems unlikely.

Well, friends, it is official. The rooms are a full gut, down to the metal studs. First floor rooms at Fiji are visible and appear to be stripped down to the metal studs and concrete floors.

The cup and saucer, from Aladdin’s Oasis, sold for $400! A New Orleans Square quick service tray, from the French Market, sold for $550! I factor in the buyers premium when bidding and do not bid outside of the suggested range.

I was not planning on purchasing any posters this month because I anticipated several Van Eaton Galleries purchases during Saturday’s Walt Disney: The Man, the Studios, and the Parks auction. Because I spectacularly lost nine auctions, I treated myself to World of Motion and Test Track.

Respectfully, Reviewer #3, my first submission, which can be found on page four, was accurate and confirmed. You are confusing my submission with another author ( @Club Cooloholic ). I will be contacting the action editor of this low-impact journal, which clearly will not be advancing my...
