So do you actually know what is going on with George and are hinting at something with all these "where is George posts"? Or are you really questioning it along with the rest of us?

Not really, and haven't been to WDW going on 3 years now. We go to DLR instead.

@Longhairbear - This is exactly the kind of stuff that would easily make me part with my money. Things like that seem like (to me, anyway) such an obvious no brainer. I would love to this type of merchandise or even replicated in diecast. Geek rant over, I just had to voice my support.

I think there's plenty of grey area between "theme/story" and "generic mall," though, and that's the space in which the Disney Village Marketplace (showing my age) existed spectacularly. It wouldn't make for buzzworthy concept art, but if you start from a place of "let's create an experience that people can't get anywhere else," you don't need an elaborate backstory to fill that in. Just fill restaurants and bars with excellent food/drink, and reject chain stores in favor of unusual retail shops and you've got a killer start.

I don't think Eric was there.
Again, you'd have thought one of the social media whores might have noted that Meg was there and Bruce and, perhaps, even TALKED to them. That is what reporting is all about. It isn't about doing what your PR handler tells you to do ... oh wait, that's REAL reporters. Nevermind.

I prefer House of Blues myself. For GREAT drinks (strong as hell, even during Happy Hour --oh, that's a concept no Disney owned locale will have ever heard of), very good food and the best damn cornbread I have ever had!

I'm being told a lot of different things, and since much of it conflicts with other nuggets ... well, I just don't feel comfortable placing it out there.
I do know George is staying in the shadows on purpose.

I can only speculate. I KNOW they were planning on hooking a big fish for this announcement and failed, which is why it was pushed back. Maybe they wanted to downplay it because they announced almost nothing at this press conference, no matter how they (or fans) try and spin it.
Anything else? ... Well, I found Tom Staggs cavalier attitude (and Disney's in general) toward the leaking of information to a fan site to be odd at best, unless he supports leaking stuff to the fan community to gauge drool cover.
I find a lot of things odd involving how TWDC is operating in regard to WDW these days ...

Thats probably the most intrigueing news I have heard about WDW in some time. The question is WHY? Why wouldnt the nonanouncement be the perfect time to roll out the big cheese? WHY hasnt the Pomp and Circumstance music played for George....WHY? This is not the usaual MO for Disney. This is very interesting......interesting indeed.

He had little to do with the Disney Springs development so I am sure most in this situation would not want to be seen grabbing someone else's spotlight.
Much ado about nothing.
