Don't be too hard on yourself. I am 100% sure that there are plans just like that somewhere. Probably several versions.

A third of that stuff he got from Al Lutz on MiceAge, a third of that stuff he got from the Forums here on this site, and a third of that stuff was just made up in the bus driver break room. Mix that together, then ladle it with a heavy coating of "Cancelled/Outdated", and you've got yourself the latest scoop from WDW Transportation Cast Members!
But thank you for sharing, honestly. It's fun to hear what the CM's are talking about on and off property.
This should also serve as a reminder that we should all be rotating our tires seasonally, and checking the tire pressure monthly. So many people are driving around on tires that are rarely or never rotated, with 10 to 15 psi missing from their tires meaning increased uneven wear and horrible gas mileage. Rotate your tires seasonally, and check the pressure on them monthly!

I would love to see Catelyn Stark zombiefied walking around the Studios.

I was rather hoping for the "Prancing Pony" or "The Green Dragon" Pubs

The funny thing is I almost did not post the info because I was afraid that he might be a forum member and get his feelings hurt. I knew the bus driver credibility jokes would begin, but I felt the need to present the source of the info so that each member could use their own judgment when considering the validity of the rumors.

And I appreciate it! Do share if you hear something interesting. Sometimes, it just might be true. It is true that most rumours are false, but it is also true that all real plans and proposals at WDW are surrounded by truthful rumour.
Big picture. You get an ip. You're criticized for not being original, so you come up with tangentially related things that really don't have anything to do with the ip to sate those craving originality. Plus, Tiana could occasionally appear at the aforementioned Gumbo House.

Little unknown Tidbit - could have been said in the previous 4 pages, not reading 4 pages of comments.
A few years back LOTR WAS slated to be put into the Great Movie Ride to replace Alien scene. OBVIOUSLY that fell through, but yes it was mentioned that LOTR is now a Universal project, and any future renderings would be at one of those parks (which would be awesome...)

You do have a point!

I can give you an example. You walk into a Chuck E. Cheese, and the cashier tells you that they are going to expand the ball pit.
You rush off and tell everyone else...HEY, THEY ARE EXPANDING THE BALL PIT, I HEARD IT FROM A REAL EMPLOYEE THERE...
Well, reality was, they eliminated the ball pits for many reasons, including liability, and we made that decision from the top down. Even the General Managers didn't know until the last minute (meaning, when we did the overhauls of their stores)...
That's why Bus Drivers (or cashiers, etc) are not valued sources (though, their opinions are always welcomed).[/quote]
So I've been camping outside of my local Chuck E. Cheeses for the past 3 hours for nothing?!

It is in JRR Tolkien's will that none of his IPs were ever to get into the hands of the Walt Disney Company.
I do not think that it was in his will, but his opinion of Disney is made quite clear in a number of his letters.

I swear the bus drivers and cashiers have a yearly pool going to see who can pass off the biggest story as reality which then gets traction on the Disney rumor sites!

The internal rumor mill is far worse than what they tell guests.
Can we look forward to this during a dinner show?
I have just this very minute watched this scene!
