[cdunbar]

Ah, exciting! THanks for sharing!

The princess cottages seem like they will be very well done, I'm anxious to see that section. And the Little Mermaid too, of course.

Bu.. Clowns? Really?

Yeah, think I'll pass on the clowns...

I hope nobody is scared of clowns.:lookaroun

Ehhmm I am...:lookaroun

Ironically enough, my wife hates them....:ROFLOL:

I think I'd like your wife...:lol:

Presenting the "It Coaster".

-In early 2006, Walt Disney Imagineering’s Eric Jacobson, creative lead for the Walt Disney World portfolio, and members of WDI’s Blue Sky Studio, led by Jon Georges, began brainstorming new E-ticket-like attractions for the Magic Kingdom. Imagineering’s creative leaders quickly determined that a bold reimagining of Fantasyland would have a far greater and longer-lasting impact on the Magic Kingdom experience than any one E-ticket attraction could ever hope to make.

AKA: "We thought we could sell more crap with this.":lol:

AAKA: "You can put Fire Mountain, Incredibles, Indy, and any other of the great MK E ticket rumors permanently to rest."

I don't think that was even real. :lol:

It was real....but it pre-dates 2006. Never on the table for this round of expansions.

I remember rumors being on here about that in 2002. :lol:

I am. Especially the really happy ones that get in your face. My mom hired one for my 6th birthday. never again...

We can call it the "IT" coaster.

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tarrying around, one who can't move.
Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.

Well kids love clowns...some. :lookaroun

The rest is interesting, but already known. However the 40th could be a 2 year celebration from the sound of it. I always figured it would be 18 months if they did it, so why not 24?

Oooohhhh....I like it!
A enchanting trip through the sewers of Derry, Maine with your loveable host Pennywise!
I'm in!

"We all float down here...."

*sigh*

I found this part particularly troubling:
"We’re going to look at this model as our template for other Fantasylands world-wide as we build new Magic Kingdom’s around the world”

More Magic Kingdoms...oh dear. Get ready for more WDW neglect while we fund worldwide expansion.

 

[Atomicmickey]

I'm sad that no one has scanned and posted the pics here, yet.

Has anyone seen them anywhere online so I can go look?

Why don't you just go buy the magazine? :shrug:

It's not worth it.

Just more of a reason to go to the parks that are taken care of.

Flippin' brilliant. Why didn't I think of that!?!:brick:

You have an amazing grasp of the obvious.

That is SO. HELPFUL.

Thank you for taking the time to share this amazing wisdom.
