Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

[P_Radden]

I didnt even see that.

haha Must have been a late night. You guys have been in overdrive with all that's going on this week.

 

[SYRIK2000]

Well that's pretty much what I was going for. If it would leak shortly after they said yes.

They might just as well announce it. News that big will leak like a sieve.

 

[Lee]

... Does "done deal" mean they already did say yes?

Sort of...
The decision to spend the money has been made. Now it's just a matter of showing them what that money is going to buy them.

Not the details. They'll hold those pretty close for a while.

 

[SYRIK2000]

Not the details. They'll hold those pretty close for a while.

They don't need to release details just officially confirm. I wouldn't mind word on size either.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

We still don't really have any details on Avatar.

 

[BrerJon]

No need to announce anything until D23. Given what happened with Pandora, any construction is unlikely to start until early 2016, given the 2020 opening target, and Universal had half of Skull Island built before they announced anything for that ride, so there's no rush for Disney to start hyping it before their convention.

I don't expect the details to be held quite as long in this case.

 

[WildcatDen]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.

Thats not on the menu for the board meeting.

Sorry. But, are you sure? These Board of Director's seem more the Boar's Head type than Oscar Meyer, no?

So, back on topic, the only rumor I have heard is the Monster's Inc Coaster is not quite as dead as we were at one time lead to believe.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Any particular reason?

Dear lord, That's been rumored for 10 years now....? They need it. Its a great concept.

Not to mention the 24 hour Bike Race Saturday-Sunday I covered in michigan.

 

[Jahona]

We still don't really have any details on Avatar.

We do have pretty concept art.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

We do have pretty concept art.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset about the lack of detail. I think it's much better when they keep stuff as secret as possible.

 

[SYRIK2000]

That makes me tired just thinking about it.

 

[zakattack99]

Yes, when Smoke comes from the Earful Tower. White for yes, Black for no.

Followed by iger apearing on the balcony of the Chinese theater pronouncing:

HABEMUS PARADISIACO... we have a park lol followed by formal announcement of the new name they are giving it lol

I don't care what they call it. Just start building.

 

[lazyboy97o]

When TWDC gets new leadership this is definitely something that needs to be on the agenda of what to fix. It's just extremely bizzare.

But can they? Bob Gurr cites too many meetings as big reason why he left in the 1970s. @BlueSkyDriveBy has talked about plans to get costs under control in years past and they all tend to center around gutting Walt Disney Imagineering.

We still don't really have any details on Avatar.

Even after a decision is made, it'll be changed a few times. Then they'll start building and there will still be more changes.

 

[Cody5294]

I'm sure we will get the attraction lineup for Avatar at D23

No need to announce anything until D23. Given what happened with Pandora, any construction is unlikely to start until early 2016, given the 2020 opening target, and the park that shall not be named had half of You-Know-What built before they announced anything for that ride, so there's no rush for Disney to start hyping it before their convention.
