I gotta respectfully disagree on this one; while they might be far enough along by then, I can't imagine at least one of them getting announced until at least 2013. "Development" doesn't mean "greenlight", and the greenlight often depends on external factors. Because of this, I don't think one...

This is not how the recent MK changes came about.

It would be fantastic if that was the next "victory"! I keep crossing my fingers. It's so exciting to get something back that I assumed would be lost forever. This was one of my favorites and I'm so used to seeing things disappear. For everyone who missed these the first time around...

Correct.

Hello all, wonderful news! As of today, March 1st, the Citrus Swirl has returned to the Magic Kingdom's Sunshine Tree Terrace. And not the faux-Swirl they'd offered in later years, but the ORIGINAL, frozen-juice Citrus Swirl. It's back! Dedicated individuals fought to bring this back, so...

Exactly. The lands that appeared in Disneyland sort of encapsulated the different genres of stories that Disney was telling at the time. It allowed you to live your own adventures in those worlds; even if Davy Crockett might make an appearance you weren't in "Davy Crockett Land". The lands had...

Thanks for the link! As for the question, unsurprisingly "it's complicated." I tend to think management is where the buck stops. They decide what gets built, and where, and with how much money. WDI can make proposals, they can make "menu" recommendations, but in the end they almost only act...

Because someone calling the shots finally accepted the fact that the announced plans were horrible. The delay is because no one has the stones to commit to a new plan. There have been a lot of plans. Big plans, little plans. Plans with AC, plans without AC. Problems being: 1) It will...

Although this thread does provide me an opportunity to publicly agree with the stated opinions that the Disney Christmas Parade is the worst-produced and worst-edited television event of the year in the entire known universe. It is almost literally impossible to comprehend while watching because...

Same here. I would be exceedingly unhappy if they did this, which I think certain parties have been trying to do for years. When I heard this rumor the other year I was beside myself, but then Fantasyland happened and I hoped it was drawing the fire and $$ that would have gone to this...

LOL ok that makes sense - I thought you were making the opposite argument. I pulled some Youtube video up after you posted and nearly got a headache just from watching hahaha... Besides, I'm mighty tall and... uh... a fat fat fatty, so I can't fit into half of the Uni ride vehicles and I'm...

Hahaha it definitely made me feel better about my opinions along those lines :)

Neither Disney or WDI is a monolithic organization, remember. There are factions just like any other big entity. And NGE has become kind of its own "thing", separate from the conventional Imagineering pathways. It's almost like one of these national defense agencies that have no oversight and a...

A sentiment with which many, MANY within the halls of Disney and WDI wholeheartedly agree...

Not sure what you mean... is it the second most popular or near the bottom? I honestly don't follow enough to know. Speaking for me personally, I really have no interest in it. I'm sure I'd ride it if I were there, but I'm not going to go out of my way to see it. It just seems like a Six Flags-y...

Unfortunately I can't say, which I know sounds like the most cornball nonsense ever on the internet, but it's the best I can do... Anyway, I was actually really, really surprised by it. I had no idea it would be that much of an effect. And I can't even guess how Disney will decide to respond...

I'm sure a lot of people feel that way, but Disney doesn't! Internal reports show that they've lost a guest "day" to Universal since Potter opened. Now that might not last forever, but you know Disney - they don't like losing ANY share of the marketplace. They want you on property for your...

Wonder what they can get done in that time...

Shootfire, I'm by no means an insider, and I don't get a fraction of a fraction of the traffic those guys get, but even *I* wrote about this in April 2009: http://progresscityusa.com/2009/04/24/personal-experience-portal/ I didn't have the terminology quite right - "X-band" is a...
