If you look closely at the "brick" pillars and entrance portal where the green awning used to be attached, it appears they've plastered up the joints where the awning pipe framework used to attach. Perhaps they had to remove the pipe framework to do painting work. Or maybe they'll be...

Just a thought, Wouldn't "Imagination" make a wonderful excuse to finally bring Tokyo DL's "Pooh Hunny Hunt" vehicle technology to WDW?? From what I understand (and I've never been on it) the vehicles are not on a visible track. Instead, they are self-steering, and guided by computer (GPS...

Disneynut--- I have never never never heard that explanation! It certainly seems logical (but so does the budget cut/"they won't miss it" theory, since people aren't gonna stop coming to MK because its gone). I'll take your word that its returning. But if so, why hasn't the refurb date been...

Two questions: Any word on whether the new castle Christmas lights will be turned on every night, or just during MVMCP? Also, since it does not appear on any rehab schedules, I'm guessing the Country Bear Christmas show will not be returning this year, either? (I remember there was...

I assume that effect would have to be generated from mirrors. If my memory of the HM blueprints are correct, the organist and staircase scenes directly behind the Hitchhiking Ghosts animatronics, so there probably isn't much room behind the existing wall to expand that scene. During the old...

Check out the 1960's grand opening film of DL's Pirates "From POTC to the World of Tomorrow" (its on the "Black Pearl" DVD extras). The Asian pirate is there, next to the sign that gets shot.

Imaginationeer (and everyone else)--- You obviously couldn't hear the music. The Independence Day show is CALLED "Fantasy in the Sky"... but it is NOT the standard "Fantasy in the Sky". The ENTIRE show is patriotic music (and completely different from the old FitS patriotic finale). It...

Disney is in the media...which means it must be time to slam the media again. Can anyone point out how the media got it wrong this time? Sensational? How did the media sensationize a pipe bomb found in a dumpster at the world's most popular tourist destination on Independence Day week...

Anyone know if the Ghost Host's "lost tracks" of audio will be restored in the renovated Haunted Mansion? For the longest time, the DL and WDW versions had the identical narration from the Endless Hallway to the end of the ride. However, during a rehab of the DL Mansion in the mid 90's (the...

When Disneyland refurbished their "Changing Portraits" a year ago, I heard they replaced the old projection scrims with flat-screen video monitors. Can anyone confirm this? (Originally DL's portraits "flashed" with the lightning outside the window. But by the 90's, the pictures did a slow...

If the rumor is true that the current portrait hall is being changed to DL's changing portraits (which, in my mind, seems like it would be very cool actually moving down that hallway in a Doombuggy with lightning in the windows on one side and the portraits on the other) I wonder if the "eyes...

Any word on whether the County Bear Christmas show is coming back this year? Also, anyone ever find out exactly why they cut the show last year? Rumors included using the budget for an overhaul, for Mansion, or to test the waters to see if it would be missed.

The rumor that will not die has just been dealt another blow. In the print edition of the Orlando Sentinel (I can't find the online version), Disney denies that the entire MGM theme park is being re-named "Disney-Pixar Studios". However, Disney did confirm that the area around Toy Story...

I rode in a new Doombuggy back in late March, so they've obviously been upgrading the fleet for quite some time. I would imagine that is something that would NOT need to be done during a full-blown refurbishment, since the vehicles can be replaced/repaired one-at-a-time without shutting down...

Just answered my own question: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0628951/

Isn't the actor who plays Wilson the English-challenged student who occasionally appears on NBC's "My Name is Earl" ? "Myyy...Nayyme... Eeeez.... Aaarrrl." Here's that guy's bio. Is it Wilson? http://www.international.ucla.edu/article.asp?parentid=11670

This is about as "breaking news" as it gets. I live within firework-viewing distance from the MK, and just TEN minutes ago was startled to see what appears to be a brand new fireworks show being launched. The show started at midnight (the park closed at 10pm tonight). Living so close...

Ladies and gentlemen: place your bets! Who do you think the new Spaceship Earth narrator should be...and why? My pick is Walter Cronkite, and not just because he was one of the original narrators of SSE. Assuming SSE will still have the same theme, I think Cronkite is as important of a...

Does the song include the original lyrics where the three birds call themselves "GAY Caballeros" ??? Since the meaning of the word has changed since the 1940's, I'm guessing Disney may have altered the lyrics, just as they replaced "this-for-that and tit-for-tat" in Song of the South's "How...
