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

[lazyboy97o]

I would imagine everyone at WDI is under a tight NDA. To break that would be career ending. One of the imagineers last year stated that they were working on the Star Wars IP. Since they approved the budget I figure it's all green for work to start. They may start doing things before an official announcement.

Sneezing in their general direction requires an NDA, but even then stuff gets out. There are also lots of people and third parties who get involved as a project moves forward.

hey dave.. @Lee and @WDW1974 .
anyone has any comments on this?

Hocus Pocus stage show for Disney World?

This was announced on the DisneyParks Blog a few weeks ago.

It's certainly an option - I'd say it's got as much of a chance. Personally (for the zero it's worth), I think it would be nice to see the announcement in the park that it's impacting. They're close enough though that waiting for the big SW event of the year would make sense as well.

I've gotten a few notes that suggest that things will start moving before the end of tHe fiscal year...

... Exactly what that entails or means, IDK.

Well I gotta think that Kathleen Kennedy would want this to be huge.

Wow - Talk about a softball. I had a joke all lined up but thought better of it.

I'm still shocked when I read that number and then think how Mermaid just by itself is rumored at close to $100 million. Where the heck did that money go?!?!?!?!

Padding pockets bro....padding pockets...lol just kidding.

This is just me but I don't think I would make American Theme Park News in another country!

You mean like how they revealed the concept art for DAK's Pandora at the D23 in Japan?

 

[WDWFanDave]

You'd be right. Plans would be 90% or better with schedules and budgets prior to getting to the executive office, with the understanding that things change, but there's overhead built in.

You've been very quiet so far amidst all of the excitement. Having been on here for several years, I can tell that you're certainly connected creatively to theme parks, and I would never ask for your specific relationship with any of the parks...that being said, are you as excited as we all are, and have you seen/heard specifics that are cause for us to be as hopeful as we are?

I thoroughly enjoy reading your responses, and appreciate everything you share, and if you cannot in this case, or aren't comfortable with that, I completely respect that.

Thanks

There did it with a AvatarLand update at D23 Japan along with Cameron.

I'm all for water features. I just feel Echo Lake is forced were as a lot of the water features at the other parks feel more natural.

Maybe because it looks like -----

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.

Like selling a car....

You'd be tackled by security immediately.

Would they really not let a guest say hi ect?

I did not know that. Is the SW Europe event for Global SW fans or just Europe Fans? My first thought when I read SW Europe that was it was just a Europe event

That would be before 10/1/15? Correct?

Is RSR still on the table for DHS?

 

[matt9112]

Not that I'm aware of, but my Bothans havent gotten their hands on the plans quite yet. Just the agenda.

Equip them with RPG-7s and AKs.....plans real quick......real quick.

 

[SYRIK2000]

I would say the closures constitute having already begun.

 

[SYRIK2000]

Saying Hi and approaching them is two different things.
