    What Do You Think is in Phase Two for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge?

    If I recall correctly, it was part of a patent submission from Disney for an axis control design that would allow a ride vehicle to swing from a beam like a pendulum while keeping the vehicle parallel to the surface. As with some other patent submissions, the additional elements, such as the...

    What Do You Think is in Phase Two for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge?

    I‘ve often wondered if Imagineering had a Star Wars attraction in mind with this patent.

    Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

    Regarding masks and the heat, I was out much of yesterday here in AZ with the temperature topping out at 115. It was surprisingly not as bad in a mask as I expected. Granted, we don’t have the humidity. But, after you reach 110, and you’re standing on pavement, it‘s just another version of Hades.

    Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

    I have heard much more surmising toward the opposite (underreporting in multiple states). I’d seriously appreciate seeing supporting evidence to the contrary.

    Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

    In response to the original question, “Do you think Disney will delay its opening...”, my guess is yes. Schools in AZ, which is seeing a similar surge as FL, have already postponed the start of in-person classes for the Fall term. They have yet to determine whether to offer in-person classes...

    Former VP Details Original Star Wars Land Plans

    Plenty of room to build another Star Wars land. Plus, add more Pixar, Indiana Jones, more kid-friendly rides, etc. Just need to be willing to invest.

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    I can appreciate the cost concerns with refurbishing and maintaining GMR. To me, the issue is not with keeping a specific ride. It is losing one for another. If I recall correctly, those same insiders also previously mentioned additional phases with attractions for DHS that were very close to...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    Just my $.02...I and my family are excited about MMRR. However, for a park that is in desperate need for attractions, the decision to replace GMR vs. refurbishing it and adding MMRR as a new build is a real head scratcher IMO. Otherwise, Disney should feel very comfortable taking down IJ...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Unfortunately, most of last week included extreme days. My family and I were at Disneyland Monday - Friday for the first time since 2015. My wife has visited the SoCal parks 50+ times (LA native and former Disney/ABC employee). She was quite surprised by the crowd sizes throughout each day.

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Though it wouldn't be my first preference, I would like to see, at least, a couple of Bugs Land-like attractions themed to Toy Story included. IMO, some additional, simple diversions in this area would seem to help.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I'm guessing that Disney will have limited construction in the parks near the beginning of the 50th anniversary celebration. With this assumption in mind, it seems like any additions, especially to MK, should begin sooner than 2020.

    So What's The Mysterious "Third IP" Coming to DHS?

    While I appreciate and support the idea of a superhero attraction that appeals to thrill seekers, I would propose that that need can be satisfied w/o replacing one of WDI's better efforts at WDW. There's plenty of space at DHS to build multiple new attractions. That park needs a net gain in...

    Osceola Interchange/Road Permits

    Interesting. If they are rethinking the plans, I'm curious to see if they may be re-evaluating the entire entrance plans, including direct access from Osceola, or just the entrance/exit from Victory Road.

    DHS Aerial View

    If the parking decks are still in the works, am I correct in assuming that the completion of the new lot should allow work to begin on said decks on existing parking areas?

    News Disney Not Renewing Great Movie Ride Sponsorship Deal with TCM ; Attraction to Close

    I am excited to hear about the ride. However, as others have stated, I just wish it was an addition to the park, not the replacement of an existing attraction. Please forgive the armchair imagineering, but I'd prefer to see it added to the Animation building with the Courtyard getting a...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I'm rather confused by this. I could have sworn that a Miceage article in Jan. of this year attributed the loss of this attraction to Bob Chapek. Seemed like there was chatter then about a supposed directive from Chapek that mandated that no additional funds be allocated for this project.

    The Talk, News, Rumors, About Phase 3

    If a resort was in the future plans for DHS, I wonder if it would be more beneficial to place it in the area South of the existing toll gates allowing for an exclusive guest entrance into back of the park. Also, a resort drive could be easily included off of the future ramp that will connect WB...

    Will Disney close DHS?

    I suspect that the vast majority of guests to WDW purchase a multi-day pass so that they can visit all the parks. My guess is that the number of people buying a DHS-only ticket is quite small in comparison. With that said, I believe the difference between a 3-day and 4-day standard pass is...
