Spielburg was a creative consultant for the park, and helped out a lot if I recall with the Jurassic Park Island. He also spoke at the opening day ceremony back in 1999. Now I know this doesn't mean its impossible for him to do something at Disney because he's not under contract or anything like...

I'm guessing your talking about in EPCOT, but that reminded me that about 7 or 8 years ago in Jerusalem I saw a crew filming and scouting around the Walling Wall, since they looked American I asked what they were doing and they said they were doing some filming for a Disney project. Wasn't...

Spielburg already seemed like he jumped ship to Universal with Islands of Adventure, so my guess is that he won't be back but you never know I guess.

I have never really felt that Universal is "sleazy". There guest services, while not the same as Disney, isn't bad at all. My family and myself has always been treated very well there. I do not think they are hounding you for money, which is a strange statement coming from this forum...

Do remember there are space restrictions in Universal. You can see a high school from Dueling Dragons, because,well, a high school is there. Not everyone has property the size of a good sized city to build on. This is a problem Universal faces that will make sure they never really directly...

Jim Henson was a genius, and making the muppets more prominent in the parks and around the resort would be great to see.

Fine its themeing is better or equal to any Disney park in the United States, my point about DisneySea is that you will NEVER see anything like that in the United States from Disney because no one else will put up money like the Oriental Land Company did. I still believe that much of Disney's...

Haha can't help but think about Arrested Development whenever I hear about the Blue Man Group now. It's not a men's self-help group you know, I wonder if they really have understudies. Showtime better pick up AD

Sounds like good news for WDW. In regards to Mission:Space I was completely underwhelmed by it. I wouldn't go as far to put in a group with carnival rides, but really its just nothing more than a glorified motion based simulator that really isnt even that fun (Soarin' got it right). Star Tours...

First off Disney did not fund Disney Sea, they never would fund something that orignal anymore because it's cheaper to put in clones and the Imagineers had a field day with that park because of it. Second, EPCOT is themed to be a worlds fair. How did World's fairs make money? Advertising. That...

IOA's themeing to me is just as good, if not better than any Disney themepark. There is so much detail, and yes Superhero Island is cardboard cut outs but thats the point. The themeing is 2-D comic books coming off of the pages. I highly suggest you go over to Universal if you've never been. I...

I do believe Universal proved it can build something that can scare Disney, even if they wouldn't admit it. Think about how Islands of Adventure and AK compared when they first opened; there was no comparison. There was talk throughout the industry and the media about Universal starting to...

Hard times for Universal I know this is a Disney forum but I find it hard to believe that anyone would put Universal in the same category as Old Town. Times are tough for the parks right now, mostly because of ownership issues and none of the owners having much if any interest in the theme...

Actually they can smoke, just backstage and if they can't well I've seen people breaking the rules.

I don't think Disney really cares if non-resort guests take the busses because they will be going to someplace in Disney. Getting on a bus would guarantee a guest would be going someplace in Disney, thus spending their money on Disney property. Now lets say guests want to get a meal and decide...

I have heard that the University of Central Flordia's (UCF) film program has some connection to Disney. Is there any truth to this? If anyone has any information please let me know. Thanks

Who else thinks the Segways that Disney cast members drive around on are goofy looking?

For all of you who have complained about universal slamming Disney in their ads and think Dinsey would never do anything like that have the wrong idea. Disney is good at making money and doesn't need to counter universal in their ads. They do that by attracting guests to their resorts. The bus...

I was just at Disney and backstage at Epcot there was a Disney Imagineering trailer that was labled "Soarin' project team" I also noticed a sign for it in the Land Pavillion. What exactly is this? Isn't there something around that name at DCA? Thanks
