I remember reading certain reviews that described certain parts of the new resort being reserved for guests only (the lounge comes to mind). I don't recall having seen anyone report that the entire resort can be accessed by room key only. Well, apparently Kevin Yee has...

So in today’s update, Al Lutz says that Star Tours 2.0 has been greenlit and will appear at DL’s Tomorrowland in Spring 2011. This goes along with the change (from 2010) he announced in his March 3 update. What’s confusing, is where WDW stands for Star Tours 2.0. In March, Al said that TDO...

Yee thinks so, in a very interesting and well-articulated article today: http://miceage.micechat.com/kevinyee/ky040209a.htm His basic premise: Efficiency is the new business model for Disney Parks (replacing the old model of guest service). His culprit: Jay Rasulo and his management...

...comes from the Hillmeister. And he gives some compelling reasons to make it believable: http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hilll/archive/2009/02/12/will-a-big-screen-bio-of-abraham-lincoln-be-steven-spielberg-s-first-film-for-the-mouse-house.aspx (see par. 13+) Yes, yes, I am prepared...

First of all, let me say that Bolt is fantastic. A Pixar caliber film in nearly every way. I had a fabulous time, and saw it in 3D. But I am deeply distressed by its opening weekend number of 27 million. It finished a distant 3rd behind Twilight and Solace, not too much ahead of Madagascar...

5 months ago, Kevin Yee posted an article outlining a Disney Contingency plan for decreased attendance, one which included ultimately rolling park closures. http://miceage.micechat.com/kevinyee/ky061008a.htm He was pretty much lambasted on all fronts both on his home forum and here...

LOL. Kevin Yee is running a Disney Parks themed Haiku contest. http://miceage.micechat.com/kevinyee/ky110408b.htm There's gotta be someone around here who could win this baby. :lookaroun

Although I won't name his name (but it rhymes with Slim Bill), everyone's favorite blogger has "announced" that the Galaxy Palace Theater is to be leveled, for an Admin parking lot. Has said blogger cemented his credibility even further, considering that the following has been officially...

Kevin Yee's new rumor rundown has 3 entries that are either new, or I completely missed. He lists the Bowling Alley at ESPN is a confirmed project and has been announced by Disney. He lists as rumor a new Soarin' film for late 2009 (DCA & EP) with a global theme. He states that the Yeti...

So it's become painfully obvious that there is a new "morning rush" at DHS, namely TSM. The reports have been consistent with 60m waits after the first hour and FP's being out by 1:00. My question is this: Has the traditional Sunset rush diminished at all? Or, are the people who didn't rush...

Al Lutz has an interesting item on page 3 of his current Disneyland update. Apparently, Disneyland, since late July, has banned all written comment cards at Guest Services. Any comment/complaint must be submitted verbally, and is passed on verbally by Cast Member. There can be nothing left in...

I have a question for those of you with such experience in the past. We all know that the days of Reflections of Earth are numbered. When the time comes for the new show, how will the changeover be handled? For instance, do they announce the last day of the old show? Will the final show be...

http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2008/07/15/look-for-mickey-to-get-shanghai-ed-come-september.aspx Interesting tidbits: Largest MK in the world, Rapunzel tower, most "Pixar-ed" Disney park, Cars Autopia.

If true, Jim has written some interesting details concerning the Idol process: http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2008/06/23/monday-mouse-watch-inside-the-american-idol-experience.aspx BTW, I am fully aware that this is Jim Hill; If anyone uses the term "grain of salt" I will go...

I need some help from you SWW vets regarding the Star Wars character parade. I know there is one at 11:15 AM each day (where the characters march in formation). What's the route for this parade? What's a good viewing location? And how early do you need to line up? Also, do they have another...
