We all know full well that Disney can merchandise the hell out of anything they can get their hands on. I bet they could create a family friendly line of Human Centipede merchandise if they really wanted to.

I have absolutely no connections inside the company. Nor do I have connections to connections to connections to connections.........etc etc.
I pick up information from blogs, forums and people here. Then I put the pieces of the puzzle together. But I can understand why some think I have insider knowledge.
For instance, I now know from sources here and elsewhere that Pandora is locked in developmental limbo and is highly likely to never happen at all. Therefore one can only conclude that Screamscape must be wrong and TFotLK will not be closing much less relocating.
Of course my critics say I always get it wrong. So perhaps I should leave it to the reader to make up thier own minds who is right in this situation.
Good night and good luck.

What are your sources, if I may so inquire?

I just explained that in the post above. Read the whole thing instead of editing it please. If you want actual names you have to spend more time here and make up your own mind. There are some very good posters here and if I name them they will get scared away. And that would be bad.

There is no way to know who is right until we actually see concrete evidence that they have started to build it.

Or until Joe Rohde sends out a tweet.
Yes, If we heard that directly from him I would accept that, but at this point we haven't so still no concrete evidence.

True but Kevin Yee seems like someone who values his credibility and I trust him.

But he isn't the direct source, he is just reporting that someone else heard that Joe said this. The further the chain goes the harder it is to substantiate. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this isn't going to happen. I am one of the few people around here that actually likes the Avatarland idea, I just don't see any firm evidence yet that it is actually starting to happen.

I still don't get the argument. Okay, I get the argument if Pandora is themed around the plot of the movie with Humans fighting the Na'vi -- that would be more appropriate for DHS, I would think. But if Pandora is set up as I and I think most people expect, with it being about the flora and fauna of Pandora brought to life, then it fits in perfectly in DAK. I mean, the main plot of the movie was about conservation and the main value of the movie was seeing the visual impact of the nature and landscapes of Pandora. That's pretty much exactly what DAK is all about -- the environment, nature, conservation, a celebration of living things.

No, you really didn't. I did read your post and I cut nothing out, I just focused on one specific part of it that I was curious about. I have actually been on the forums since '06 under an old username (Sumshine 904) and have not heard of any news saying Pandora would not happen. If anything, all I've really heard was that James Cameron was being the perfectionist that he is and is trying to come to an (albeit begrudging) agreement with Walt Disney Imagineering on how to go about constructing this monster.
You could always PM (or I suppose Start a Conversation is the new function on here) the sources to me. I think we're all adults on here and I wouldn't go tattletailing or whatever you may think I do. I'm merely curious as to where you've heard this bit of news from.

What I hate is the idea of Avatar in WDW. WHY does WDW need something like that, when Disney-created ideas like Fantasia or the original Beastly Kingdomme idea go begging?
As for the movie, I don't care about the political things, I just care that I found it nice to look at but very boring otherwise. Thought the same thing about the Phantom Menace too, FWIW.

First of all, what makes you think I'm a femme?
But I am a Walt Disney fan, for sure. Rather than a Disney fan which, unfortunately, these days is not a mutually inclusive thing.
And I don't think I should be hated at all. I'm adorable!

Lee and WDW74 have made comments that Pandora was in flux and that it could get canceled especially after Iger leaves. At least that is how I remember it. Bet they wish they could take that back now though. And I wouldn't buy into the Cameron/perfectionist meme. It is just too obvious a take and can't be proven or disproven. It is just too pat.

You know, I'm not completely sure to be quite honest. I thought about it while writing the post, but I think I ended up referring to you as female to make it easier on myself while writing, as opposed to trying to make the entire post refer to an ambiguous gender (It's really difficult!). I could've just as easily referred to you as a dude. I apologize if I referred to you incorrectly.

Hey, no sweat. I wasn't really offended.
