The new posters with the monkey are fun, but the original Barnstormer, with its props and animatronic chickens, seemed a bit nicer to me. I understand the reason to keep the Goofy airplane theme, but I think it would have been a nice change as a Casey Jr. coaster or Pink Elephants on Parade...

There's no question that Monsters Inc. has been a big hit, but I'm curious about how popular Monsters Inc. merchandise has been over the years (this seems to be important to people when discussing film franchises for theme parks these days). Not long after the movie originally hit theaters...

Agreed! I know people that love Avatar, and they are not necessarily big Disney fanatics (my Dad and my Nephew, for example). I don't think Disney expects the Avatar World to take down Potter, or sell tons of merchandise. I think they just want more people to visit Animal Kingdom. If this is...

Wow! This is shocking and exciting news! Adding AVATAR to Disney's Animal Kingdom is probably the smartest expansion Disney has ever done. I cannot wait to see the world they create! Animal Kingdom desperately needed something like this.

Wasn't there talk of a proposed Haunted Mansion store at the attraction exit years ago? I know there's a gift cart nearby (I got some Hitchhiking Ghost bobbleheads there) but I think a real, themed shop would be nice.

Wow, this is such a shame. Hong Kong Disneyland's "Mickey's Water Works" parade (which is where the "Pixar Play Parade" theme song came from, which was in turn butchered for the "Countdown to Fun Parade") is a million times better than this Disney's Hollywood Studios parade and the Hong Kong...

When I first hear about this, I thought about the Walt Disney World commercial with the animated flying Dumbo ride vehicles (which is on TV all the time). I think something like this will do well.

I'm impressed with how they translated the character designs into three dimensional costumes---they are great! I think this is one of the funniest shows on TV.

Ha ha! I instantly thought of Zoo Tycoon, too!

The Hatbox Ghost may have never been in the Walt Disney World version, but since Disney was planning the Florida version when they built the California version, they "built two of everything" from the start (so the story goes). So, I guess they must have made two Hatbox Ghosts, too. Maybe the...

Glad to hear Pete may be appearing in the parks. It's all because of his presence on "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," I'm sure. He's not really a villain on the show, he's the gang's trouble-making pal. The series is VERY popular with young children.

What a find--very different for a Mickey Mouse short (especially the use of the narrator voice)! That 50s character design of Mickey has always been one of my favorites. It seems like it would pretty easy to go ahead and finish this.

If the Dumbo area contains a new merchandise location (a tent-like structure in appearance, I'd guess), it would be cool if they used the old "Dumbo's Circus" attraction concept to decorate the store (there's a picture of it in the Walt Disney Imagineering book). This would have all sorts of...

How about "Sofa King Awesome?" Ha ha ha! Wow, I want to buy this before they decide to stop selling it!

Very interesting! This either indicates a change to the Florida version, or Walt Disney World decided to just use Disneyland merchandise artwork and slap the Magic Kingdom name on it. I guess we'll find out!

This sounds very logical to me. If a new Snow White attraction happens (diamond mine ride---wonderful idea or a hybrid flume, or whatever), it seems like they could just re-use the existing figures and sets, cutting down on the cost. Getting the Tinker Bell section closer to the Peter Pan...

Duffy has been discussed on Disney message boards for quite some time now---so much so that I was looking for a really small version at Walt Disney World last year to get as souvenirs for my teddy bear-obsessed co-workers (and these ladies are 36-55 years old). I really thought I'd find them...

I still cannot believe the Barnstormer is turning into a clown coaster (Casey Jr. would have been better, or Pink Elephants on Parade). The Cheshire Cat theme mentioned would have been great, along with a Wonderland area. It would seem like a logical choice, since the Cheshire Cat is such a...

I wonder if this expansion would be the Woody's Roundup rides planned for Disneyland. Another shooting gallery style dark ride, and maybe a Bullseye ride? I know there's already a lot of Toy Story at the parks, but the characters are extremely popular, and I bet it would be a hit.

Back in 1993, when it was new, there was a wait to get into Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland in California. Crazy, I know, and not in the same league as Harry Potter by any means, but there was a line to get into the land!
