    Monorails - because people can't stop talking about it!

    I thought I'd mention that there were monorail plans drawn for connecting DHS and AK back in the late 90's early 00's but 9/11 changed the course of things quite a bit. The plans are still very much a real thing but I feel the issue is the cost of the upgrade and the size of the system...

    Upcoming/Rumored Projects

    Tomorrowland, as conceived, was to have no connection to Disney's animation features. It was to be a showcase of technological innovation. Then again, so was EPCOT center... DHS is a studios based theme park and as @WDWResort said, it really the best place for the current attractions. With...

    Upcoming/Rumored Projects

    They could convert the gas cars to LIM driven cars or even electric with wireless recharging. That way it would be cool to show future car technology, keep the track and etc...

    New rope drop process at MK

    They should move the Frozen M&G to the rear of Hollywood Studios (between car stunt show & red tram of fun). They could also have a Fozen specialty store put there too. Great way to increase revenue at the park so that the Star Wars lands can be even better.

    Ah! OK, I'll give Tomorrowland a point for the LIM there. LoL! Sad that those other advanced ride techs don't appear in the MK's Tomorrowland. Seems to me, LIM would be great for Space Mountain.

    The Spirited Sixth Sense ...

    These two posts are dead right as to what's going at at Disney's P&R. While other parts of the Disney corporation is doing quite well creatively, their P&R has become exactly as described. Sometimes I wonder how it must be having one of the four VP positions that oversee each of the four WDW...

    New Survey Asks about Fastpass+ Changes

    I think that's correct. They were using magnetic "Key To The World" cards prior to the RFID versions which were prior to the MBs being rolled out. It's probably good to note that the green RFID cards also have magnetic strips. So this allows it to be used with new RFID based systems and with...

    New Survey Asks about Fastpass+ Changes

    Did you know that the Magic Band costs WDW $5 per AND they can not reprogram or reassign the bands on site? They have to be shipped off to the 3rd party vendor for total destruction and replacement... Meanwhile, the RFID based green passed can be totally managed on site. With RFID in every...

    The Spirited Sixth Sense ...

    I agree AFAIK, Lucasfilms still exists as does Marvel. The first Marvel movie under the Disney banner was The Avengers and while it was distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it held the production studio name of Marvel Studios. It would be definitely safe to assume that Star...

    Workers want pay boost

    That is a fair question. What isn't apparent for many is how many hops you have to jump through to get a job at WDW. The hiring process is quite lengthy and I'm certain that the wages are well known as well as how Disney handles increases. I think the other fair question is why would someone...

    The Spirited Sixth Sense ...

    I've tracked the origin of the $2.5B figure to MiceChat article responses (forums). I keep seeing a $1.2B figure being tossed around for the budget of the project. Speaking of, how much of this article is accurate? http://micechat.com/49401-my-magic-plus-failure/

    Automated monorail system update

    Damn, thought I got something neat. LoL! I guess I hadn't noticed the stands before in my excitement to arrive and my eventual tired departure.

    Maybe the stands have? The brick cut looked pretty new though.
