In current Disney speak, I’d be very concerned that it means something else entirely.

After draining it just 2 years ago? How long before that did it go without being drained? That's a pretty major eyesore in the MK.

It was the front section last time. This time (I think) it's the back section with some other work for the island itself.

If anything, now's the time to do it.

Isn’t Big Thunder also on the refurbishment list in this time frame?

Is this early prep for filling in parts of the RoA? Somebody please say yes.

Larry's comment was a reference to what "refurbishments" during cash strapped times can really be about...


(in reality, that's probably not really happening here but with Disney, you never know.)

Maybe they should have put that money towards saving those acts and employees they just laid off.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Opportunistic?

Oh, Hi Tiana!

 

[GymLeaderPhil]

I guess I’ll have to cancel my trip seeing as though Liability Island is closed.

 

[Riverrafter21]

Oh, Hi Tiana!

Boats and islands seem more of her speed than mountains

agree, and feel the same about the Peoplemover. Ill believe that one when I see it running again and not until. Too much seems like its down now.

No. You’re welcome.

Thank goodness! One million Bob Bucks to you sir
