Did anyone else notice Joe Rhode's comment on the Thanksgiving Disney Parks Holiday Special that Pandora is likely only the first one? He indicated that it will likely be duplicated elsewhere.
I kept looking for others on this board to have mentioned it and maybe whether they had heard any rumors of whether it would be coming to any specific other Disney resort; but I never saw anyone say it. (Of course these days the way everyone buries news in 4,689-page two-year-old thread, it is easy miss actual news.)
I remember talk about a third gate at DL with all the real estate they purchased recently there, but I do not think that is nearly enough land -- and not as likely as maybe at an overseas park.
Anyway, I thought I would point it out that he said that.
By the way, did that show also seem to show anyone else that they have really gone projection-happy worldwide? I mean, the show was supposed to showcase the lighting up of each of the parks in lights for the season... and most were all about projections on the castle with a few fireworks. I remember one, and I think it was Hong Kong, that really did not even seem to have any regular lights -- just projections on the castle. Why go the trouble of wiring all these trees and buildings when we can just show movies on the castle? Well, just an observation.
Another observation: the actual holiday offerings at WDW were hardly mentioned. I would have liked a look at some of the Christmas activities and decorations throughout the resort. The performers were interesting but some of them seemed out of place and not related to the holidays. I don't know; it just seemed a lot more disjointed than even the Christmas Commercial/Parade even. Not sure.
Anyway, just thought I would post my observations... but put it here because of the "news" that they seem to intend to duplicate Pandora.
