    Festival of the Lion King moving to Africa

    Word around the park is the show will close in late January and reopen in its new location in Africa about 10 months later. Reports of where it's going exactly are unclear/conflicting, but by Tusker House seem most likely (other rumors say the train will be shut down and the show will go where...

    Upcoming Announcements

    There's a lot happening on Dec. 6th (FLE and TT are both opening that day), I think that would be a good day for future announcements too. Universal is probably waiting until then to make their official announcements to steal Disney's thunder, but if Disney made several major announcements the...

    Test Track refurb???

    I wouldn't get my hopes up about FLE. Those dates fall within the cast previews.

    Here come the mermaids

    From what I've heard, they won't turn the cannons back on because they'd interfere with Sparrow's pirate tutorial.

    MYSTERIOUS ISLAND COMING TO DAK?

    The Disney property I'd really like to see at DAK (regardless of what happens with Pandora) is Up. A Paradise Falls area could incorporate real and imaginary animals and they could have a lot of the Southern Hemisphere animals that have been missing from the park (they could have Australian and...

    Summary of new character locations following the opening of Pete's Silly Sideshow

    They're experimenting with a new Chip and Dale meet and Greet at Rafiki's Planet watch where, get this, the characters don't stand in a set spot and have a queue in front of them. Instead, they wander around the path between the train station and the building and greet people there. I'm not sure...

    If this had been a thread about someone spotting chipped paint at those toll booths, it'd be 20 pages by now.

    Dr Who coming to Epcot and other news

    I find it amusing that Matt Smith really does look like an alien who just happens to be able to pass for human. But maybe that's just me.

    Updates on Kilamanjaro Safaris Refurb?

    They've started training safari cast on the new (zebra-inclusive) spiel, so I'd expect it fairly soon.

    Kali Rapids now offering complimentary lockers

    From what I hear, people unable to handle the intricacies of putting their stuff into a thing played havoc with the ride's efficiency so it was decided to have people put their stuff into things before they get in line.

    Kali Rapids now offering complimentary lockers

    The lockers are working now. They use a keypad and not a fingerprint scanner (you choose your own code). The lockers are free for two hours and you are charged a hefty fee (per hour) if you go past it. If Kali's wait time gets longer, they'll extend the time for the lockers.

    Y'all should ...

    If Universal really wanted to show up Disney they could fast track their own Avatar land while Disney is dragging their feet, only using Nickelodeon's Avatar instead of Cameron's. Universal seems to have a good relationship with Nickelodeon and, while I've grown to actually like the idea of...

    Y'all should ...

    They don't need to clear the land, it's just an empty field where some people park. They could tell people not to park there one day and start construction the next. The big job will be clearing out Camp Minnie-Mickey.

    New Fantasyland Bathrooms

    Disney is finally fighting back against the Submariner themed bathrooms at IOA.

    I guess it just bothers me that two of the parks' names share a pattern that the other two don't. Probably just an OCD thing. (I can just hear Monk saying "everyone would be happier if the names were the same".)

    Y'all should ...

    I haven't been around very long (and the search feature seems a little wonky) so I haven't seen any proposed plans for Mysterious Island at DAK. I'll see if I can find them so I can have a more informed opinion on the matter. I'd really see a Kingdom Hearts land as a way to repurpose old...

    Y'all should ...

    I was thinking that a Kingdom Hearts land could fill the same role that Beastly Kingdom would have, only it would be tied to an existing franchise (as Disney seems to think everything should be these days). I'm not sure how a cloned land that isn't about fantasy creatures would be a better fit.

    Y'all should ...

    Has Kingdom Hearts ever come up as a possibility for a land at DAK? I know it isn't exactly what happens in the games, but it seems like it would be a good way to connect Disney to fantasy creatures by making it more about Disney characters entering Squarsoft-type worlds than the other way...

    Best Mashed Potatoes in the World?

    Does the fufu at Boma count as mashed potatoes? Because that's definitely my favorite if it does.

    That'd be fine too, as long as there aren't two parks with "Disney's" in their names and two without it. And "Epcot" definitely should be changed back to "EPCOT Center".
