My vote is for some Marvel heroes winding up doing cameos in an "Incredibles II"

That always made me wonder. WDW cannot use the characters it owns in perpetuity? It seems like there would be a legal statute of limitations where an open ended contract like that could no longer be enforced.

I feel your pain, I haven't been able to go for a few years now due to the economy. But to take our own personal financial pain and extrapolate that as Eiger and team making a bad financial decisions for Disney isn't right. I am sure they do extensive cost / benefit analysis of every rate hike...

I second that and add Horizons, Dreamfinder, World of Motion, Toad, 20,000 leagues, the Skyway, Adventurers Club, Alien Encounter, and a big bucket of ain't gonna happen.... :(

Could you let me know your source on this? I'd love to read more about this situation in depth.

Maybe they think if they keep the announcement vague, they can make the DVC be whatever size and quality they want and still be able to say "Yeah, that was what we announced and meant to do!"

Of Course George is real! This article even had a picture! :-P http://www.examiner.com/article/pirates-of-the-caribbean-ghost-george-caught-on-camera-at-walt-disney-world

I saw something exactly that fuzzy right after a few flights at "La Cava de Tequila"! :p

In that case they need to put up a 3D re-creation of the Adventurer's Club, just to make sure they get everyone into "pollo sans cabeza" mode..... :banghead:

Why did they do this? Just to mess with us?

Can gummy bears be used for contraception? :-P

I agree GLaDOS that Avatar is taking a long time, but I think there are good reasons for it that are unrelated to any real intention to delay investment due to wall street pressure. Avatar opening needs to be timed to coincide with the release of the new movies. Also, it probably makes more...

I hate to quibble on this, but I think it depends on how you define the beginning of construction. They are building the new theater for FOTLK, and there is only one reason for doing that: To make room for Avatar. They cant really begin until it moves.

As a corporate manager, don't you normally invest in things that are winning for you? http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/08/06/walt-disney-earnings/2625121/

OOH! We could put a DVC in there too with it's own meet and greet and deluxe gift shop! :rolleyes:

A while back I read DisneyWar, a book written by a guy named James Stewart (No relation to the actor I think). The book covered the Eisner years beginning with how he came to the company (I highly recommend this book for any Disney geek that hasn't read it). The picture DisneyWar paints of the...

Go see "Saving Mr. Banks" when it comes out, then explain to me this difference again. I'm missing your point.

Yeah don't forget all those original Disney stories like Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, Snow White, Cinderella.... I rest my case ;)

I would argue that they have created that "go-go" attitude on purpose. I would bet they have looked at the "dollar throughput" of guests and figured out that they can get more money out of more guests by getting people to race on through.
