If I was going to describe Lutz, "envious of WDW" would be about as far down the list as possible. He's mocking WDW, not envious of it.

My guess is that the biggest amount of time is spent on the new (old) Tiki Room, the WoC in Hyperion Wharf (both of which never get built), the DVC addition to the Grand Floridian, and more concept art for FLE.

Yes, but you forget that WDW lost money for 25 years from 1971 to the mid-90s. /tongue //cheek

I disagree. The Pleasure Island venues worked just fine as initially conceived and implemented. What wasn't working was the West Side, at least not to the extent that Disney management and the third parties wanted. So regardless of the reason for the West Side's failure (the two most popular...

As someone who is very pro-Marvel-In-the-Parks, I can definitively say that the day Marvel characters are in EPCOT is the last day I walk through the turnstiles. That park is already a complete mess; putting Marvel there is management effectively throwing their hands up and saying "We don't...

DCA has a "Hollywood Pictures Backlot" component (a mini-land built on the DHS theme); with the recent Marvel films, that's the tie in (not unlike the Indiana Jones and Star Wars components in DHS). I actually think DCA makes far more sense (both thematically and practically) in DHS than...

At least it'll give us something to lament for decades to come.

Just a thought, could the emergency meeting have been called because of concerns about the safety (and structural integrity) of the WDW monorail system? We know from the other thread that there was a mini-rebellion by the transportation workers and, legally speaking, that is incredibly...

Keys to the Kingdom, by Kim Masters Best Disney book I've ever read; probably the best book I've ever read, period.

I don't have much to add about the Hatbox Ghost (they've been saying "it's coming" for years; I assume eventually it will pop up). I just wanted to say that however verbose, passionate, and obsessed HMF may be about the particular topic of the new queue ... he's also mostly correct, in my...

20 years ago, I remember when this guy was on the Howard Stern show. He seemed like a reasonably normal guy with an abnormal Disney fascination.

Well, anything makes more thematic sense than them being in Epcot. Regardless, they belong in Fantasyland, if anywhere.

Ah, Adventurland. Smart move (as long as you don't care about things like "making sense" or "adding to, not detracting from, the theming).

Just curious, what are your four possibilities? Because I can think of about 50 (49 of which are more likely, imo, than "selling the parks and resorts").

I'll admit, legally it's possible. However, I think there is a less than one percent chance of it happening (on top of the zero percent chance of it being sold in the first place).

Sure. Almost anything could be agreed upon as part of a contract, but why would Disney insist and why would NewMysteryOwnerX agree?

Well, there are two obvious answers ... 1. P&R are not being sold (not gonna happen folks), and 2. No, they don't have to follow through with the plans of previous ownership. The current ownership doesn't even follow through with previous plans that they themselves announced (just look at...

LOL - so typical. "The boss is coming; we actually have to give an effort." I'll buy Iger a plane ticket myself once a year if he'd promise to use it. At least it's fixed.

Winner! This post sums up my feelings. Shopping used to be part of the theming of the land (or hotel, or water park). It added to the uniqueness of the area in which the shopping was located, helped build the branding of area and by doing so, encouraged future visits. It was the business...

Yahoo Link Saw this today on Yahoo's main page. Thought it was pretty neat. As far as I could tell (there's not much information) these are computer mock-ups of a home theater package this company intends to sell.
