    Where is Walt's plane? UPDATE - Coming to D23 2022

    From the photos, it's located at the water treatment plant off Bear Island Rd @ Western Way. That would certainly keep it out of view of guests and most CMs too.

    Disney quest demolition watch

    The concrete was poured for the scaffolding but the lines and holes were not completed, so it looks like there was a change of plan. I think you’re right that the original idea was to follow the same de-construction method they used at DHS for the soundstage with scaffolding and a nice scrim...

    Disney Glitches/Malfunctions

    There’s sequence in Mr. Potato Head’s act, I believe the line is “lend me your ears”, so he reaches up and removes his right ear. Well anyway, when we were there, it slipped out of his hand and fell on the floor!

    Disney Quest to close in July 2017

    Thanks for the info. Makes sense because the interior layout doesn't exactly lend itself to easy re-use. Also correction: The photos were taken from Cirque.

    Disney Quest to close in July 2017

    A certain other site has some pictures taken from upstairs in Splitsville and it shows scaffolding starting to go up around the DQ building. So it looks like it will not be a total demolition. Has anyone seen concept art for NBA yet?

    Tokyo cars spotted near the speedway

    Why is it that everyone on this thread says the cars are spotted, when clearly they are striped? ;)

    Tokyo cars spotted near the speedway

    From the one grainy picture, they look like Bob Gurr's Autopia chassis, so with a little paint (or not) they'll fit right in and most guests will never know. This looks like a prime example of corporate asset re-use. WDW gets Tokyo's cars in the same way that the DHS Lights, Motors Action cars...

    Mission:Space update (confirmed)

    Hey give him a break, he's been in there doing the same lines for what, 14 years? It's sort of like Gilligan's Island, those poor people.

    Funny enough, the signs attached to the construction fence at Old Port Royale say only "Caribbean Beach Resort", without the D word. Inconsistent branding, panic!!!

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I think you're on the right track there. It's also possible, if Imagineers were involved, that the cabins could be made to switch lines automatically at the transfer points. As long as it's done symmetrically then it would work out. (I know someone here could do the math to prove it) Imagine...
