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

Is it true that they got north of $2 billion?

We don't know for sure but that's the rumor we are going with.

The Landing is in no way an upgrade to Pleasure Island.

How do you know this? It's not open yet. Plus, I will be able to experience that section of DTD at all hours for free...seems better to me.

Didn't Spirit already say BILLIONS?

Complete with pinky to mouth?

This thread is hilarious. WDW1974 drops some real news and every wannabe under the sun comes in to ride his coat tails going "Oh yea just heard from my sources...good things are a'comin!" and suddenly this thread swells up to 100 pages of fanboy/fangurl hopes and dreams.

For the record, I absolutely believe Spirit as his information is almost always on point and he is one of the most credible people that I've ever known anonymously on the internet. I just find it funny that the same patterns emerge here time after time even after years of Disney under delivering and underwhelming you would imagine most fans would take a wait and see attitude especially since Disney changes/cancels plans at the drop of a dime and one economic disaster could immediately slash funding immediately (as it almost did for the DCA redo project). Plus, new attractions and parking structures aren't going to solve long term problems like poor maintenance of the attractions, not being able to close them on a year round basis for refurbishments, food quality dropping throughout the resort on both coasts, etc. When Disney improves on those things there will be reason to be excited.

You people stop having fun and get off my grass.

I know. It's amazing isn't it? Glad you like it.

Well, our expectations/imaginations can perpetually power Figment's pavilion. Then Dr. Channing turns up....

Keeping expectations in check is always a good idea.

Oranges

Are you saying, 'Is it the color orange?' or an actual orange?

It's an Orange Orange.

They certainly have a lot to prove. I'm excited for the amount mentioned and allocations.

Now they have to actually come through with it. The jury is still out.

Can you guys start an IRC channel if you want to have one line banter back and forth all day? This 3-4 pages of just 2-3 people chit-chatting buries everything else and makes it really intolerable.

@WDW1974 and @articos have been keeping me very happy lately. When Martin starts to chime in, holy****!

The funniest part about Martin's posts (as well as @Lee) is that they have such HUGE impact with so few words. Man the suspense is killing me!

The circle is now complete.

No.

In regards to allocations, are you referring to attractions? lands? parks? or the resort as a whole.

As in... they might not even do it? Or they'll pretty much definitely do it, but TBD if they do a good job?

I'm gonna go with the second one.

I'd bet Stagg's career on it.

@marni1971, @articos and @Lee aren't wannabes. You can ask @WDW1974 his opinion on them.

In fact, one of those wannabes just gave us the approximate date of when One Man Dreams is closing in another thread. It was after @WDW1974 posted invisibly, of course

What is the date? I missed it?

 

[dumboflyer]

What is the date? I missed it?

July 12, according to the thread.

 

[SYRIK2000]

Have they started the TSMM expansion yet?
