Wow. We big whiney children must be behaving poorly again. I can recall four times that they've put up "height balloons" this year, and for three of those instances, we still have no idea what they are for. It started with the Fantasia Gardens balloons on Jan 12 of this year, which I don't believe we know the purpose of. Let me clarify: we don't know the construction-related purpose. Leads me to believe the balloons may not have to do with potential construction at all...

Here are the four times I recall "height balloons" having been spotted in WDW this year. To my knowledge, we do not yet know the purpose of three of them. The balloons above the energy pavilion may have been real rather than another sneaky attention-diverting trick.

EDIT: forgot the Epcot one: http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions...-plans-for-epcots-future-world-take-shape.htm

Oh, and finally, I must add, it has been less and less successful each time. We're only on the second page of posts this time around.

Fantasia was a proposed Swolphin expansion.

As many of you know, I am not allowed to play for the NBA since my high level of skill and physical ability drains all the drama from any contest I'm involved in. Thus, I am limited to fantasy pick up games (in my mind) where I just run up and down the court practicing my moves. Also, I have been a regular visitor to WDW for quite some time. Many find my 83'8" vertical leap distracting, so I've been working with the resort on finding areas where I can get a little exercise and not upset my fellow guests. Height balloons are an important part of figuring out where a basketball court can be placed for me. I humbly apologize for any confusion this has created.

Will your Spring Training be an up-sell event?

I think we have a pretty good idea of what the previous were about.

Expansion of Swan and Dolphin, addition at Caribbean Beach, and Universe of Energy redo.

'california coast' is never happening if so it will be a uncharge separate ticket hotel with 100 dollar cupcakes
