Harry Potter hotel rooms and/or timeshares?

Can we have one of the Monster's Inc themed restaurants selling a drink that gives you energy? They can call them, Monster Energy Drinks...

Sounds like Marni was talking about an expansion to Pixar Place, not a full clone of Carsland. That may make a bunch of people happier.

I like both properties and I wasn't bothered by it at all. There's two reasons for that:
1) ToT in DL is largely the same ride experience per se, but the building, some effects, certain sequences, and even lots of the queue are vastly different than the original. That makes it it's own version.
2) DL doesn't have that many cloned rides. There are very few that make it's way from WDW to DL. If anything, almost all cloned rides in the past decade for WDW have come FROM DL. DL still has the originality quotient above WDW (I'm not counting classics like POTC, HM, etc). WDW, however, has its clone quotient at either equal level or above the number of original attractions.
THAT is the disturbing part to me.

I think many attractions at Walt Disney World end up better than the original:
Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Dumbo
Jungle Cruise
I think that I, Carsland at Disney World, will follow that tradition.

Any chance there's work done to the rest of DHS ala DCA's Project Sparkle?

I for one am STOKED about this! My 3 year old LOVES Cars and it's just not really economical for me to take my entire family to DCA. Just to fly out there would cost me nearly 2k before tickets, hotel and food. I can take an entire WDW vacation with dining for around 2k. It just doesn't make a lick of sense to go to DL for my family, but my son REALLY wants to see RSR.

I'm on the fence about clones (they are better at WDW anyways), I love test track, and RSR looks amazing...but can someone please explain how Cars would fit thematically at DHS? Oh what's that, It doesn't? Thanks.
Cars is a move. There is your fit.

Cars totally fits if it's a part of Pixar Place...it is a Pixar movie after all.

I'd like this as well, as long as that one C/D dark ride isn't Cars related. Perhaps something else pixar, but I personally don't think Cars deserves two major attractions.
Now now. It's not funny to, as an "insider", get our fanboi hopes up like that! Personally, I'd see this as a best case scenario.
Why? It's not WDW. There is very little reason to stay at a Disney hotel at DLR. There are plenty of safe, clean hotel options off property that are within walking distance of the parks (a few are even closer to the entrances than the Disney hotels).
Because the price difference is not that much for me and I simply want to.

This is what I want. That is a proper expansion to Pixar Place and should alleviate alot of crowd issues, park issues, and gives TDO a proven commodity and another D-Ticket to market with the release of Monsters University ... now move Laugh Floor over ... retheme HIStK ...
... and of course, take down the hat.

Rent a car one way to Orlando International (and on the way back). No Parking fees, and you'll save quite a bit on flights. Thought about flying out of Orlando instead of Tampa a few times because of the same thing, but it's silly for us to rent a car for a one hour trip just to avoid paying the same amount in parking. But for a family of 4, the savings of 4 flights might be well offset for you guys.

I would again stress to anyone thinking about going to Disneyland that Paradise Pier is an Off-Property On-Property resort. It is across the street and a 1/4 mile walk from anything Disney and is nothing like being in Disneyland Hotel or Grand Californian. If you really want an on-property experience, do not consider Paradise Pier.

No, not at all. That's due to a number of factors I won't specify here, at the risk of launching another civil war.
I'm talking about TT's ride system per se. When TT first opened, it went down at least once a day. As the years went by, it's consistency went up little by little but not by much. By the last two months of operation before it closed on April 15th, the building still went down at least once a week, sometimes more depending on how tempermental the system was acting.
Now, add RSR to the mix. It's having nearly the same exact problems as TT is having from opening; albeit, it's also another combination of different factors (track switches, AA issues, effects issues) but the main ride system is pretty much the biggest issue of them all.
To have the same type of ride system that isn't the most reliable and consistent system there is (and remembering both rides would have to go down for weather), would lead to some very interesting scenarios.
The thing is it is not quite a bit all the time. For the 4 of us that average savings is around $200. There are times when that number will go up to around $400 but that is typically when my kids are in school and extended travel is not possible. When I did pricing for June /July in 2013 the flights from JAX were in the $430 range MC0 was about $380.
