News D23 Expo 2017

[Princess Leia]

Real talk, if anyone happens to be in Orlando on August 14th and would like to potentially face criminal charges... I would really like to have the Gene Kelly AA or the Mary Poppins & Bert AAs.

I don't have a ton of money, but I can bake a lot of cakes, cupcakes, pies and cookies for you.

My main two questions are these:

1) Where's the Space restaurant going? There's barely any room on either side of the building and sure, there's the spot where the upscale HP lounge was supposed to happen, but it's too small for something like that. Likewise, unless they're retooling things, the path between Space and Track is a major artery for vehicles during third shift and CM's going in and out of work.

2) What's going on with the Promenade??

 

[Ellen Ripley]

Mostly the Same as far as I know.

this is great because it makes it two rides in a way... do orange then green

 

[Princess Leia]

I'll be there for both. I need to be.

Please take pictures and video

 

[Casper Gutman]

Are they just going to let Stitch sit there for a few more years?

 

[jt04]

I guess they ran out of time before they could get to the Haunted Mission restaurant.

 

[Steel City Magic]

When are the zoogs coming to tomorrowland?

 

[BlindChow]

I really hope you can [make an unplanned trip to WDW]. It just isn't feasible for me

Honestly, I can't afford it, so I shouldn't...

On the other hand, I do have a credit card...

It is an ironic location. The interior looks fabulous though. As does the way you'll get into it if they don't cut it.

Any chance we'll see this sleek aesthetic carried over to the queue, pre-shows, and post-show? Or are we stuck with the 00's sci-fi industrial look?

 

[Prince-1]

Did they say where the new DVC was going?

Here you go.

It`ll be more like Test Track than M:S

and a bit of Star Trek.

Do we have any idea when work will start on Tron and Rat? I assume Guardians and Mickey will be somewhat soon since the rides are closing in less than a month. I'd also assume they want them opened as close to Star Wars as possible.

Here you go.

So it's part of CBR, like people have been talking about? Thanks!

Wrong again.

Serving customers WELL in a packed environment is a skill. One that deserves the obscene money the execs make? Of course not. But also not deserving of such borderline contempt.

I have ZERO contempt for workers. I have LOTS of contempt for protestors and malcontents. Fix your own life instead of begging somebody else to fix your life. Trump can't fix your life. Obama can't fix your life. Protesting won't fix your life.

Water management permits have been filed for Rat, so it could start in a few months.

Notice of commencement has been filed to the Mickey ride, so that could start right after the August closing of GMR.

It seems like tron and rat won't be open until at least late 2020. So I don't think ground will be breaking just yet.

Rule number 1 of travel: Don't mess with people who handle your food.

I have no quarrel with fry cooks. It's protestors I can't stand.

 

[Travel Junkie]

Being in the room it was kind of odd to have so many wdw announcements told to a mainly dlr crowd. The biggest applause in person was ptn going to dca.

 

[Brian Swan]

I love that it's based on the new cartoon

I HATE that it's based on the new cartoon style. A lot of my enthusiasm for the ride just went out the window...

Discussed in the other thread:

Martin said it would be attached to Mission Space, so I am guessing it will use this space...
