If "Made in America" really matters to the guy with 3000 trading pins, why does he still have them?
I guess that's the price of addiction. Trading his principles for trading pins.
Yeah, well I bet you'll use those new-fangled Tangled toilets no matter where they were built ...
By the way if you're in Boca Raton and about to take a swim in the ocean: DON'T _---- SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw that.. if you go organize and swarm the mics with multiple people. There are multiple mics and they rotate through.. so as an individual you can't really take the stage so to speak. But get organized with a group of people... have your list of question.. and have a group for EACH mic stand.. and multiples in each group. Then have your agenda of questions read by whomever gets to the mic first.. and each person works their way down the list.
If you were to take every mic stand.. they would have a very hard time avoiding your list
I REALLY hate agreeing with Flynn on anything!!! ... But he is quite right here. That is how you get your questions heard and it will work. I've seen it done at meetings.

I wouldn't be hiring Roy Patrick just because he is a Disney. You need people with talent and vision. I've met Roy P and he is largely a businessman. There was a reason why he was at said meeting. ... Here's the most recent interview I could find with him (almost three years old).

Won't be decided until late this year.

Castle will be very large with multiple levels, dining, retail, meet and greets and a boat ride all part of it ... it will be unlike any castle they have built before. It should be quite beautiful.

Being careful not to over-promise anything at this point, for one.
The central gardens model (there are hi-res pics of it released) closely matches the leaked plans:
Questions for those in-the-know on SDL:
What is the large showbuilding in the northwest of Fantasyland?
This plan has Toy Story Playland, but I believe that has (thankfully) been dropped from the plan (HK has Asia exclusivity until November 2016 - Park slated to open in late 2015; dropped from massing model).

Not sure on the showbuilding. It may be used for a stage show or an attraction. ... I doubt tht TSP has been dropped, although it was slipped in late. It could be something that opens in 2016 or beyond and not on opening.

I'm tempted to buy some Disney stock (although my financial planner thinks it's a BAD idea) just to get in on one of those meetings. Even if I don't get asked a question, I can wave a placard reading "Save The Yeti!" or something like that. Something that would at least get in the press, if not in Iger's thick skull.

Yikes. I bet the hundreds of animators who worked on Pooh loved that. No wonder Disney shafted the film so much and gave it the same opening weekend as Harry Potter 7 Part 2... not even the CEO cared it existed.
The main problem with it, at a glance, is how it meets the ground. They could have found a much more graceful way of dealing with a building of even that size, instead of just elevating the ground around it 20 feet and plopping a castle on top of it, like a wedding cake on a cakestand.
See Disneyland Paris' castle as precedent... get the terrain involved in the design, build a portion of a hill and have the castle built into it, meeting the ground partially at ground level and partially elevated, creating a more organic effect. But I guess you can't expect Imagineers to remember tricks from Disneyland Paris when you've fired all of the people that worked on it, eh?
If someone asked a serious question about why WDW is in the state it's in, they would have been booed out of the buiding. There's no doubt in my mind that these people are marks, intentional on their part or not. This is the way these meetings always go down. I'm glad I didn't waste my time following it... THIS TIME
Well, since l lost my shareholder meeting virginity, I found it quite entertaining. I've actually been laughing as different parts of it have come back whilst I've been doing other things. Of course, the content was awful and depressing..........

Ah, Frank. Hope you are well, buddy. ... Steve didn't really break that news. It's been out for awhile that the new theater is being built near Tusker House.
But that doesn't make Pandora a done deal at all.
Did I miss The Sheriff talking about all the big plans for it and showing art today in Phoenix?

I think that's just the hub in front of the castle, which is supposed to be a lot bigger in this park than usual.
