This surprises me in a good way. Are they actually beyond blue sky?

Figured such. At least they realize something should be done with that space I honestly thought they'd let it sit or knock it down and do nothing. They seem to maybe realize the value of that space

I find most Disney vloggers like him and Fresh Baked to be nothing but shinfo. (aka, s***y info)
Fresh Baked literally posted an entire video yesterday about the "Epcot news" but literally read an article from a teleprompter.
I guess in a way its like picking your poison when you watch the news. Many stations will report the same "story" but just use different anchors. Some go more in-depth and others just give you the basic facts.
In the case of Disney vloggers though, most just parrot the same largely unsubstantiated "rumors" in hopes that you'll view them as a true insider and if and when something DOES get greenlit, they can sit back and say "see, we told you so!"
Best bring your salt shaker along to any DSNY and FB video.
And as always, when in doubt, trust Martin

Fresh Baked is doing god's work with the SW Land updates at DLR. I don't watch the WDW stuff they post (thankfully they are moving it back to a separate FB WDW channel) because I don't like the host, but the DLR stuff is good to very good.
And yes, if Martin says something is happening (and not may happen) then you can take it to the bank.

I saw that dope post that. Vekoma doesn't "push" Disney to do anything like he suggests.

If you want to watch SWL updates sans annoying commentary, then I HIGHLY recommend a channel called ShesInLosAngeles She's there just as much as FB, has a steadier hand, and understands what makes for good coverage.

Or read the main site, which would post such news.

Not completely. I'd say that TT2.0 has a lot more WoM in it then did TT1.0. (That is by no means saying that it is remotely close to the optimistic feeling that WoM gave you, yet, but it could be). First, the building is mostly the same. Second, the idea of the future is certainly visible throughout the ride. Third, I believe that the current concept actually has it's roots in a proposed versions of the ride before Epcot Center even opened. It does feel very Future World. If they included more AAs in the first part of the track and actually built more of a story around automotive design from the past and moved into design and testing vehicles in the future, we would see the best of both worlds. Slow moving dark Disney AA ride and fast moving thrill ride. The ride would come full circle! (Yes, I meant to say that.). Then I would get that Future City view back that they had at the end of WoM. One of my most favorite and memorable parts of my trip from 1983.
Agreed, TT 2.0 is very good (when it is working properly), but it is missing that extra 10% to make it really special. Perhaps an AA robot character that narrates you through the various tests would be better than the disembodied voices.

Disagree completely. I have to turn off my audio when I watch hers. You can tell Dave and Ian are Disney fans. Dave was so stoked about the BT Trail opening - he sounded like he was going to cry from being so happy about it. You get none of that from SILA.

I'm glad I get none of that from SILA. Because I don't want to hear some 40 year old man act like a 5 year old.
You mute SILA?? Can't stand the ambient noises of normal life?
Look, Dave and Ian are clearly Disney-obsessed. But what annoys me about them (Dave mostly) is that he has taken it upon himself as his duty to be as "informed" as possible, and in many cases, that simply means he just rehashes someone else's info and consolidates it into his own words (or sometimes barely into his own words). They also operate a Patreon page where they fully intend for people to pay their way into Disney, like its their job to do what they do and should get paid.
By contrast, ShesInLosAngeles has (to my knowledge) never spoken a word on camera, doesn't ask people for money, and doesn't go around parroting un-substantiated rumors to stir up more traffic. You're fine to enjoy their videos. I'll pass.

I watched FB's Epcot video today. It kind of made me laugh. Most of the things talked about were already debunked on this site. He literally took every blue sky rumor talked about and made them sound like gospel. It was a little ridiculous. However, I can't stand that guy. My wife and I only watch them for the Disneyland videos.

Right? What got me was when he mentioned Inside Out replacing Journey into Imagination at the Wonders of Life pavilion. It was a slip-up, I'm sure, but it just proved to me that he really wasn't processing what he was saying, but was instead reading an article from a different website.

Exactly, it looked like he did not even rehearse or read the information before he turned the camera on haha. It reminded me of click bait.

Probably didn't. Gotta be the first to "report" it...even at the risk of looking misinformed.

This. Her videos are way more informative (and relaxing) than whatever recycled garbage that entitled guy on Fresh Baked comes up with. She also doesn't beg people for donations.

Since Mysterious Island version of Beastly Kingdom didn't happen can you finally give details about that?
