I'm hoping that his lack of enthusiasm has to do with the subject of the projects (i.e. maybe he just doesn't like Cars or Monsters Inc, etc.) as opposed to the quality or scope of the work.

How quick, I wonder. I'd be pleasantly surprised if the powers that be realize that DHS desperately needs stuff and fast and actually plop up some Toy Story Playland type area in 12-18 months -- they should be able to do so, but would they?

Let me pour some fresh wishful thinking on this in a way only I can do. Could it be that George K. has been secretly working on new attractions for WDW since becoming president? If this theory holds true, that means there are at least six new attractions on the verge of being announced that are in the pipeline being worked on by WDI. We know one of these is the Frozen ride coming to Norway. The SS1 project could be the Monsters, Inc. Coaster, revived from the dead because TDA wants one in DCA (or it could be something else). Another could be the Soaring update. That leaves 3 others unidentified.

This. I can see this happening 100%. Personally, I'd love to see them bring RSR to HS and for those who say it's just like Test Track, well, they are sadly mistaken. It has much more story and heart than the new TT. I think it would be a huge plus for the studios and be a major E-ticket.
I really would just love to see better dining at HS. And Mater's =) I love that ride.
Still pulling for the door coaster, though.

Not just George mind you. New attractions would be signed off by Bob.

Yes, but after constant nagging and lobbying by George.
If any Cars content is added, I think Mater's and Flo's are definitely going to be in. Whether we also get a Cars dark ride is, to me, less clear. And I don't think it'll be a full-on RSR clone for various reasons, mostly space. If they RSR is built as well, there's pretty much only room for a Toy Story Playland-like area and Carsland, and I think/hope/pray that Disney has decided that Pixar-land needs to feature more than just two properties. Some I'm guessing there's Toy Story Playland elements, something Monsters related (door coaster would be my choice), something Cars-related, and, if they decide on an e-ticket for the Pixar area, something Incredible, although I think that's less likely. More likely, I think Disney will leave the innovative E-ticket part of the DHS expansion to Star Wars - land, using the Pixar side of things to shore up the quantity of offerings while adding family and kid-friendly stuff that is lacking.
On the dining side, I think DHS actually has some good dining options already. Prime-time Cafe is great fun, as is Sci-Fi Dine-in. Mama Melrose's and Brown Derby have good food and reasonable atmosphere, and Backlot Express and ABC Commissary are decent (not special by any means) for QS. Flo's, however, is a big step up in QS quality, so I'd welcome that addition. Wouldn't mind a Monster's -themed QS place either -- that could be fun.
The DCA ride is a classic "ride through the plot of the movie" ride. It is a cheap one, along the lines of Snow White as opposed to Little Mermaid, but it's fine. Ride and Go Seek is more of a concept ride that takes you into the setting of the movie, but for a new experience. It also, by the way, looks fairly cheap. The figures are, with few exceptions, not true AA's, but instead cut-outs or statues that rock or turn. But the concept works great and it's a lot of fun.

I'm not so sure of that. Great stories of what never was and never will be tho....

It was last season and only a delay to the game, not a complete postponement. But trust, coming from a far more drought ridden area of the country as I live, any rain felt good. But I will always lament watching a tarp vs a game.

I know I'll be in the minority on this but I would much rather they add Crush's Coaster from DLP than copy Cars Land.
I enjoyed Cars Land and RSR was a great ride but I want each coast to have things that are special and not be copies of each other. Let Cars Land be the draw for DCA and get MGM something of its own.

Really?
Not even trying to be a smart ***.
But what news did he break? Recently most of his stuff seems recycled from these boards.

Honestly a Pleasure Island mini-land (with Pinocchio E ticket) and an actual, expanded Casey Jr. ride would really have negated comments on Storybook Circus being cheap.
But then the Speedway would look that much worse with an immersive area right next to it.

I was being facetious but honestly did that would be me done with Disney Parks on the East Coast of America for forever

The Incredibles could be made into a great E Ticket. No need to clone Crush's Coaster. I feel Finding Nemo, like A Bug's Life and maybe The Good Dinosaur in the future, is a good fit in Animal Kingdom.
