I would be surprised if Disney doesn't always run the numbers with litigation, however, the alleged damages in a case like this could easily mean that Disney litigates instead of settling. As for the OP, I'm confident that negligence claims are not the reason that Disney is building overseas...

Interactive means an action and reaction as in the queues for both Pooh and the Haunted Mansion. A slide does not "interact" with a child. The slide is the same whether the kid goes down it or just stares at it. And if you don't think toddlers can appreciate interactivity than you may not...

Does it seem like they built an interactive queue? From what I've seen, its not interactive in even the sense of Soarin', much less in the sense of Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. Disney didn't say "ground breaking" but they did say "interactive" and I don't see the interactive. As for the...

Jim Hill reported on Feb 19th, that something was said at the Toy Convention about a Toy Story 3 overlay.

As far as I understand it, My Friends Tigger and Pooh (which my daughter really enjoys) is ending, so there won't be anything Pooh related until this movie is released, and right now, that's all the Pooh there is. Which means I have a hard time understanding the earlier comment that Disney is...

I like the general concept, but the execution - the building style, the color and even the chairs - are not my taste. For me, the ambience of a restaurant is critical and this one doesn't give me a good vibe. Maybe the food will be good enough to get me in.

confirmation Didn't think this had already been posted: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/business_tourism_aviation/2009/06/its-official-luxo-jr-is-coming-to-disney-world.html Sentinel gives confirmation, but no exact date yet. Luxo will be 6 ft tall and make appearances throughout the day...

The Orlando Sentinel reported that Washington, Lincoln and Obama will all be speaking.

The Orlando Sentinel is confirming the new track. There's an article about the refurb in today's (Jan 8) paper. Here's a quote about the other stuff

Neither value resort appeals to me at all because of the theming and exterior entrances, but I personally think that going with a classic animation theme would be a big improvement for Pop. I also think the timing is very interesting, given the economics discussions going on in the...

I saw this too and my first thought was that this is further evidence that bookings are down, but I think it could be a good option. From the blog, I can't tell whether this is an additional cost or if the quick service meals, snack and mug are "free" with the hotel stay.

I don't think that Disney will be able to prevent people from visiting IOA and US, but I do think they can influence how many days people will spend at both resorts (US and Disney). I don't really get the philosophy of "they're going there anyway so we aren't losing anything." Wouldn't it...

I guess what confuses me is the development at the other Orlando parks (Manta + Aquatica; Harry Potter + Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit) if there's such a concern about park attendance. Both Manta and Hollywood have been announced in recent enough months for those particular park execs to know...

I read Yee's articles, and at least find something vaguely informative but not necessarily accurate, but the last several on the topic of gas prices have not been very enjoyable or informative. Also, some of his recent articles have not applied economic principles correctly.

I'm curious to see what style direction they go. I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of many of the hotel room interiors. Contemporary's new look is really nice, although not very "Disney" specific. The Polynesian's new rooms don't look bad either. But many of the rooms, even the Grand...

The Sentinel article has been amended a bit and it states that when the bowling alley is not being used for tournaments that it will be open to the public.

The Sentinel is reporting that Disney will be building a 100 lane bowling alley with stadium seats and a restaurant. The facility will start hosting tournaments in 2011, but the article doesn't discuss use by resort guests...

I can't tell from the pictures whether they've started the 'chocolate' tower or whatever its going to be, but it doesn't look like it. Are they adding seating and will it be enclosed?

I thought I'd introduce myself and ask if anyone else had seen this or knew anything about this. I'm a regular reader of this site and of the Orlando Sentinel online (I'm from Orlando), but I haven't seen anything else about this except for the story on another site and the link to the story...
