A Spirited Valentine ...

[Kman101]

Are you kidding me. On multiple occasions you've lamented 'tabloid trash' posts (or just calling others' posts garbage) and this is what you are posting. You've had your monthly rant against @WDW1974 (who responded politely).
You've been very effective in derailing this thread, maybe try a different one if you don't care for what he has to say.

This person seems to like to redirect a lot of threads ... JMO

Hi @WDW1974. Any word on the Frozen attraction for DL? I ve been reading rumors that the expansion pad shown in the Mice Chat map for SWL is not for Frozen but for a backstage building. Has folks thinking that Toontown is still on the chopping block. I guess it may be either way though.

Also, is 2020 still realistic for Marvel Land at DCA? The layout of that land is going to be interesting with the Hyperion and animation building right in the middle of everything... or will they be?

I'd also like to know more about DL's rumors than WDW at this point. The next handful of dollars Disney gets from me will be from a DL trip either late this year or (more likely) early next.

Right now, in my part of Florida, it's 38 and we're under a freeze warning tomorrow. But thank god we're not this:

My bobsled ride (ie, four wheel drive SUV on Pittsburgh's slopes and hills) to work this morning was... fun. We'll go with fun.

I have a feeling those Marvel plans are going back and forth. First, it's behind the TOT, then it's in front out into the esplanade. Now people are saying the Cap coaster is back behind the TOT GOTG:MB.

Much of the time, it's wondering why or even if people enjoy the 90% of the junk you put out, or if it's to parse through the sillyness to get at which projects are going where around TWDC. I don't doubt that you're connected- but I doubt many of the things you portend to "know" and constantly modify/backtrack on with the typical "things are changing" language.

Masking your rather obvious envy of @WDW1974 with passive aggressive responses will not gain you whatever type of status you are seeking.

Your continued clamoring about journalism, (and specifically 74's method of it), exposes your true effort to derail what you perceive as a threat, or simply someone who is better at it, (journalism), or at least willing to put the info out there. And by that, Im referring to the popularity of the info he puts out, regardless of it being right or wrong. Perhaps it is the high number of page views his threads get or the recognition he receives for his efforts that has created this malice you so feverishly camouflage as "journalistic integrity". Fear not though, as you may one day put forth information that you allege you have access to and get those clicks you desire,....and maybe even your own Angie!!!! Please note, this is not a defense of 74, he can do that quite well on his own. Im just trying to help you move through this emotional cycle. Ill await your denial.

Or, you could just be a troll sent by, "The Brand"

I'm interested about this too. The Disneyland Parking Garage thread recently started to pick up again, not because of construction updates but rather lack of any updates. I can't imagine Disney is giving up on the pedestrian overpass, but it they are having problems getting it approved it would probably mean they can't close the current pedestrian esplanade which I believe was part of the Marvel Land expansion.

Personally I suspect 'The MAGICal BRAND' myself, As Burbank is very unhappy with the reception of various moves in DL and The Swamp. Of course if Burbank had actually LISTENED to their customers perhaps not as much hate would be directed at The MARVELous Tower in DCA and other boneheaded decisions made recently.

Why build a bridge when you can build a....gondola?

CONFIRMED- GONDOLA BETWEEN DISNEYLAND AND WDW!!! HYPE!

$14 Billion for Universal Beijing resort wide over 3 phases?!? 10,000 initial jobs and 40,000 potential? That's WDW level stuff not seen anywhere else on earth. Then again, we've seen lofty Universal plans come and go, though this one appears to have more traction that Korea or Dubai.

Spirit- you mentioned awhile back how Universal Beijing was progressing, noting how safe that they've chosen to play things. Has this changed?

Looks great but...I have a feeling its too similar to book of life.

The set-up is the same, but the actual stories seem to be very different things.

Book of Life is a Mexican flavored retelling of the Orpheus myth and is very steeped in those Greek myth tropes of gods and monsters and adventure.

I'm seeing more parallels to Spirited Away in this trailer, specifically the scenes when the spirits first start appearing and Chihiro finds that she's starting to disappear.

A bit of the weirdness of Bugs Life and Antz. It has the advantage of a couple years gap and the fact Book of Life didn't make much impact. Shouldn't meaningfully affect the preformance in any way.

Looks like Pixar on their A game.

No offense, but you are not the typical traveler. I wouldn't even call you typical for Canadians! ... And I'd love to visit your NPs ... at least the government doesn't want to sell them off to the highest bidders like here!

None taken, the dollar discrepancy is the far bigger barrier to US travel these days.

Since I have your attention (beyond the DL and Beijing questions, which I'm always highly Interested in)... do you know what's up with Tokyo? Specifically they have closed Small World and are rebuilding it after all, but just pushing it back like 50 meters. It closed March 1 for the extended rebuild.

Seems a bit odd to move it just a bit. Are one of the fantasyland flats going to shift into the newly opened space?

Sounds like Coco has some similarities to Ratatouille.

Wait... what? This just randomly happened and I never noticed! I mean I was aware of the plans to move it a couple of years back, those were canned when they scaled back Fantasyland's build out (and not due to some SAR conspiracy, but as OLC stated, construction costs and availability of labor have skyrocketed since Tokyo was granted the Olympics). So are they doing a move as in just slightly altering its current position or leaving it as is and updating whats there? I doubt they'll be able to totally demolish and rebuild it within the 18 months it's supposed to be closed.
