Fievel, I can assure you that my sources are 100% real. Jon has shown me documentation that he is an Imagineer. Now, I'm not saying he could be totally wrong about everything and is just trying to pull my leg... but what good would come from that for him? There's always an angle... Jon has no "angle." He's not gaining anything by telling me this stuff.
I just post what I'm told.
And the funny thing is, Harry Potter is the one thing I heard about before Jon. Get this... I heard it in Epcot. So now, like over a year later, I meet Jon and everything. Anyway, he gets promoted for his work on the Pal Mickey Project, and he gets to go out to Glendale. So, while he's in Glendale, I tell him that there are walls going up around Global Neighborhood. He doesn't know what the heck is going on, becuase he has to sign off on new projects. So, he asks his superior what happened, and he got a reply that 2 people in WDI were let go, and that Jon should have been updated sooner, but had missed the last meeting. And Jon's Superior went on to talk about all future WDI projects currently in the works. And Harry Potter was on that list. So, that's what makes me think there is some realness to this. It's not just mumbo jumbo rumors and such. The fact that Jon was told that, and didn't even ask about it or know about it before he heard that tells me that something is up behind closed doors somewhere in WDI. And the newer 20k post only confirms the rumor even more. There's just way too much going for this rumor not to have some truth to it. Sure, it may NOT be going into 20k, WDI changes locations all the time. But as of what I last heard, 20k is the most likely spot for HP, that is, after the lagoon is reclaimed and the pathway is built. The character greeting area would also be built on this same path way... the land chunk there is huge. Plenty of room for ANYTHING. So, sure, I have my doubts just as you do, but since I'm me, I don't need to doubt myself. You have to doubt me, as you are someone else, and I'm not just talking to you, I'm talking to everyone. Anything here needs to be doubted. It's the way of the forums, we all believe what we want to based on what we feel is most logical and based on other users track records. Like you said Fievel, I don't have a track record yet, but this is something I believe strongly in as true, and I'm sticking to my story. You guys don't have to believe it. I'm just putting it out here for discussion/confirmation. And there's no harm in that, that's what we're here for.
