There's .8 acres for the undeveloped part of UK (orange below). And another .8 acres if they take over BoH.

• Winnie the Pooh - .44 acres
• Buzz - .55 acres
• Main building of Little Mermaid ride - .55 acres
• Ratatouille - 1.25 acres

I thought it looked like enough space for a carousel but not much else.

I heard they are replacing that attraction with a "Boris' Wild Party" M&G with lunch.

Who the heck is Boris?

 

[TikibirdLand]

Who the heck is Boris?

Boris Johnson, the Prime minister of Great Brittan. Or Boris of the famous duo Boris and Natasha. Both will work.

Who the heck is Boris?

Seriously?

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Who the heck is Boris?

A party animal

Pass. I’ve not asked.

But we know how Bob likes to count his pennies.

Pennies... don't you mean Tuppence, prudently, fruitfully, frugally invested in the BANK!

Pity the poor CM that plays the bird lady.

So maybe now the ride
And my best spoon
Are playing hide and seek
Just behind the moon
Waiting there until
It's time to show
Spring is like that now
Far beneath the snow
Hiding in the place
Where the lost things go

I really hope something is done with the project. It would fit nicely in the UK. Of course, I would prefer an elaborate dark ride.

Geoff just told us it will.

Geoff just told us it will.

It will be in a beautiful coffee table book one day along with the plans for Mary Poppins Returns Yet Again.

So is it possible this project could be on again??

Pity the poor CM that plays the bird lady.

I'll have that job, I already annoy my neighbours by feeding the birds.

Sad but true....Imagine the simplicity of leaving the Communicore buildings in place, repurposing the Innovations show building as the new event "World Celebration" space, Tear down the World Showplace tent to allow expansion for a proper Mary Poppins attraction and even have room for a Harrods Style food hall.
Reorganize the space between the Comminicore buildings with new fountain and landscaping and save millions of dollars while having a much better guest experience...

Yes please! The Harrods Food Hall is probably one of the most beautiful places I've been and I'm not even including the food.

Yes it possibly could be but you never know

Peter Pan’s Flight but Mary Poppins with single-rider carousel horses and a carousel loading area or nothing, please!

After a question on the shareholder call about the Mary Poppins attraction, Bob Chapek says the project is on hold and he looks forward to refunding the project in the future.
