ok, i have new info to share with you all, again nothing major to report, but just a few tidbits. Some I have mentioned before and some have been mentioned by others, but anyway, here we go.....
Mike, Jay and Al, the three most important people when it somes to WDW, as CEO, Pres. of Parks and Resorts, Pres of WDW, respectivly, recently rode Mission Space. This is the second time for Mike and Al, and the first for Jay. They all loved it and were very happy with its progress. Mike was quoted as saying it will be one of the top attractions in the world. This is good news, as if it sucked, we might have had long delays, like with Alien, as Mike hated that Version 1.0, and so it was made scarier. So I see this as a good thing......now we can only wait......and wait......wait....
Studio News

Backlot....the canyon will get repainted as well as a rehab on the aging oil tanker soon, maybe after the Easter Crowds leave....this will cut the canyon part of the toar out for a brief time, but no word on when OR if this will happen.
FANTASMIC!
Steamboat is in need of a rehab, tentivily planed for April. No idea if this will effect the show or not or for how long.
Magic Kindom News....
The tracks on Main Street, where the horse drawn trolley rides, will be getting a much needed facelift soon. The work will be done at night, and as they have said that the Parades will NOT be affected, there shouldnt be any of the 4 foot walls in place. They were going to run a trackless horse drawn trolley instead, but have put those plans on hold till AFTER Easter. The AM trolley show will still take place, with the Double Decker Omni Bus as a replacement.
MORE FIREWORK TESTING at MK.......MARCH 19th from 10pm till 11:30 pm, MK will be testing FW from the top of the castle and the roofs of Lion King Threater and Snow White. Fueling the new FitS Fireworks show, this will be the 3rd test.
NO ERIDES FOR APRIL, not sure on May yet
Aunt Poly's on Tom Sawyers Island will be going Seasonal, and will be open for Easter weeks, then closed till summer.
Now here is a RUMOR.....Basin to move into the Magic Kindom....eather on Main Street or in the Closed Frointerland Trading Post. This is VERY UNCONFIRMED.
Construction under Monorail Beam inbetween the Grand Floridian and the MK, near the Canal. Anyone know anything about this small looking project???
Epcot News
looks like Epcot is going ahead with the 6pm closing of Future World. Infact, the only Attractions that used to close at 7pm, instead of 9pm were The Seas (resturant open till 8pm), The Land, Wonders of Life and UoEnergy. Now in addition to those Inovations (both east and west), JiYIw/Figment will be added to those allready closing early, AND instead of 7pm, its going to be 6pm. So, TT, Hista, SE will be all thats open after 6. (along with Mouse Gears and The Electric Umbrella)
Animal Kingdom News.....
they have placed those floating oil catcher things they use around constrution projects near water, in the area rumored for the new bridge and eride. But nothing other then that so far. Side note, this area IS big enough for one ride, but thats about it, so there will not be any new ''land'' going up around it.
Disney Institute is now the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa. More demolation taking place now in the old outdoor theater area.
Downtown Disney News...
