There was a booth for Magic Bands inside the Imagineering area. I picked the brain of the "Fastpass+ Expert"

Not really, it's a small booth off to the side of the pavilion. in fact i was surprised that they didn't try to 'sell it' any more than what is there currently. of course I skipped right by it since there was a lot more interesting stuff to see and do..

They should be embarrassed, and why bother showing anything at all??This is freakin AWFUL. That dino pillow?
It's from Target. We have it in my sons' nursery. They went to Target for this exhibit. Target. $16.99 (unless it was on sale).

At least it's not Walmart?

A model of Disney Springs is on display at D23, but I don't think it's the same one that was shown at the press conference in Florida.

Any news on the re-emergence of Dream Finder and the Journey demo I just saw online? Does it mean they're bringing him back?!

Indeed.
I first heard about it three years ago.
Though I must say, I'm not sure I like the look of the new AA. I prefer the original HBG, even if he wasn't an A100 with lots of movement. No clue why they altered him.

And this part right here:
Is what makes it a permanent fail, at least to me. I really hate MM+ more with every new bit of info. Horrible.
Make sure someone in a 'Guest Relations' role knows that you're not impressed by the admissions process. Just remember to do it in our polite Canadian way.
I have a hard time imagining @Monty being impolite based on his online persona.

Star Wars has at least 100 times larger fan base and cultural prominence than John Carter and Lone Ranger.

I didn't think we knew, and I wanted to speculate in my original post but I thought someone would quickly come along and reprimand me for not knowing every bit of Disney news. It may still happen, but here it goes. There was a thread that mentioned Trader Sam's was in the plans for the remodeled Poly. That was a surprise to some of us because we thought it was being built at Disney Springs. Someone then posted that another club/restaurant with a very similar theme and much bigger would be built in it's place. Could this be it? Adventures Club + Trader Sam's = Adventure Trading Company

One of the things on display in the Imagineering Pavilion was Disney's DISH system. It's a 180 degree large concave screen that has been used as a tool for virtual ride throughs. At the expo they had it running Radiator Springs Racers, Mystic Manor, Test Track and clips of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
I asked the Imagineer at the pavilion if it would/could be used in park. He said, not immediately and listed many reasons why. Most notably, scaling it for a park is difficult because it can apparently sense the motion of an individuals eyes and move the image accordingly. He also mentioned something that has been discussed briefly here, the multiple layered screens (multi lexane maybe??) to create 3d images using this system.
I suggested that we may see this used on a galaxy far far away and he only smiled and went into the 3d component. From what Jim Hill reported, I really wouldn't be surprised if a version of this tech is what's used for the speeder bike attraction.

Wrong! It has a 88.6 times larger fan base than the Lone Ranger and a 1,320.4 times larger fan base than John Carter.

Disneyland's HM goes down in a couple weeks to get ready for the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. I doubt he would go right after the expo only to be taken out again. The Ghost would not fit the motif of the attic scene in the overlay.
If anything he goes after the overlay is done in January, but Disneylanders hear this rumor every year.

Wait wait wait! How exactly would the Hatbox Ghost work if the bride with the beating heart isn't there? He would switch heads at each heartbeat. And how exactly would he fit into the story now that Constance is there instead of his bride Emily?
