The Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, not 1970.

According to upper management, an E-ticket has already been approved for the old 20K site, but they don't have the budget to build it right now. That's why Pooh's Play Place only takes up the old queue. The entire area that was once a lagoon and show building is nothing but a big plot of grass now.
Frankly, even though this is straight-up information (meaning that I got it directly from an exec. and not the rumor mill), I wouldn't expect anything to be constructed for a while. Don't get your hopes up.
On a side note, the villains may soon have a meet-and-greet in the old HM Fastpass area. Don't stone me if this doesn't happen; Liberty Square and HM CMs are correctly complaining that the characters will interfere with the HM entrance.
Also, tests have already been conducted to incorporate the Cinderellabration props back into the old Surprise Celebration show, thus effectively eliminating Cinderellabration from the MK. This itself is practically a 35th birthday present.

Wow... I simply love some of the people on the internet, the Disney fans, who blow smoke out of various body locations... let me clear up some of the crud that has infiltrated this board....
Let see, starting with the infamous "Fire Mountain." Has never been anything more than Internet Fan Boy Wishful thinking, much along the same lines as "Beastly Kingdom." I will say this one last time, just because you WANT them to happen doesn't mean that A: that is what is right for the park and B: that it will ever be produced. Fire Mountain is a pipe dream, and was never planned for a Disney Theme Park, much less the Magic Kingdom.
Also, Tirian has no ties to Upper Management, and didn't get his information from an exec. Because, here's the big shocker, the ideas for the left over 20,000 Leagues Lagoon haven't even begun to be finalized, and furthermore, the Magic Kingdom (mind you, the most visited theme park in the world) will be the last park to receive a new E-Ticket attraction. Pooh's Playful Spot doesn't even cover all of where the old queue was, because a major portion of Pooh's Playful Spot extends forward, past where the lagoon is. He is also very lucky he called for us not to stone him if the villains meet and greet doesn't happen, because it won't, and I would hate for harm to come to somebody because he spews wishful thinking on internet boards. And, one last bit, Cinderellabration has just spent a good bit of money upgrading its show just in the past couple of weeks, so we can expect it to bring joy and happiness to the thousands of people who enjoy it everyday. Just because the internet public doesn't like it, doesn't mean the hundreds of thousands of people who come to the Magic Kingdom to enjoy the magic (as opposed to those who tear it down) don't.
And, as a side note, the Magic Kingdom opened on October 1st, 1971. The dedication festivities were from October 23 - 25th. The Roy O. Disney Dedication Plaque next to the Sharing the Magic statue in Town Square shows that the park was dedicated on October 25th (at 2:02 pm, anyone besides me see that the clock on the train station refurbishment scrim was set to 2:02 to honor Roy's speech?). Now, traditionally, the park celebrates its birthday on the 1st, but, personally, I am all about celebrating Roy's achievement.
My final words on the subject, there is no one here on the boards who A: knows what they are talking about, or B: can say anything if they do know. Rumors are fine, as long as they are labeled just that, but calling on the mystical, magical forces of "upper management" to fulfill you life-long love of attention is a bit much. Enjoy Walt Disney World for what it is, the most Magical Place on Earth, where fairy tales come true; not for the travesty that your wishful thinking would turn it into...

I agree with much of what you say...except that Beastly Kingdom is a fanboy's dream. Joe Rhode certainly has talked about it and would still like to build it (not saying it will be built...that's clearly not his decision to make)--so it's more than some fanboy's wish. Even this site (not the forums) have posted many rumors of Beastly Kingdom being built (of course in the past), as have other generally reputable sites, so I am certain that the concept has been discussed by the decision-makers, and they chose not to pursue those interests at present. I don't really see the need for disclaimers like yours, though. We all know enough to not assume anything is true until officially announced by Disney.Enderikari said:

A: Absolutely, the concept of an area in the Animal Kingdom dedicated to creatures of fantasy was discussed, and blue-skyed for a while, but the idea of "Beastly Kingdom" keeps popping up like a bad dream. Every mention of this long dead project brings hundreds of armchair-imagineers to the fore-front, wishing they were in charge. I didn't mean to imply that the concept of Beatly Kingdom was never a consideration, I meant to imply let the Walt Disney Company do its job. Believe it or not, they know best at how to keep Walt Disney World open to make magic for the guests.
B: It's not a disclaimer, its a call for this guy to not make irresponsible posts under the guise of a fictitious "upper-management" If you want to dream, that's fine. And I have no problem with rumors (most of them I get a good laugh out of), but to say that something is going to happen, simply because you don't get enough attention, is heinous.

An observation I have made over the years:
There are many types of people that browse and post on this site....
A- The lurker, just reads never posts (could be anyone, Disney employee or not).
B- The occasional reader/poster (could be anyone, Disney employee or not).
C- The dedicated reader/poster (could be anyone, Disney employee or not).
D- The dedicated/occasional poster, with connections and the occasional inside info.
E- The dedicated/occasional poster, with no connections and or info, who posts false info for the heck of it.
F- The dedicated/occasional poster that works for Disney (maybe an important position, maybe not) and has inside info and shares it at times (either anonymously or not).
G- The dedicated/occasional poster that works for Disney (probably an important position), has inside information, rarely shares it and publicly dismisses leaked rumors as fan craziness (when they are valid). They just come here for the kicks.
H- The dedicated/occasional poster that claims to work for Disney and doesnt, but how are people gonna know right?
I- The Troll, which seeks only to disrupt the forums.
Did I miss anything or anyone? :lookaroun
The point is...people have various reasons for posting what they do...but everything in this section should be considered a rumor until confirmed. Most of us know this...but like to discuss possibilities...We know who to trust and who not to trust on this site. Some posters are careful, and only post credible info from trusted sources. But generally speaking, if people are attacked for something they actually heard about and posted about...then people would stop sharing info....or passing along rumors....
I fail to see the purpose of attacking someone because they posted a rumor...even if it was posted to mislead people. And sure, if you post something you have to be prepared to defend and/or accept the response it gets. But, personally, I don't have any ties to the company, other than my lowly consumer role...I want to know all the rumors out there, even if they are crazy, and if people feel they are going to be attacked then they'll stop posting and one really credible rumor could go lost. That's just my opinion though.

Very well-said Objr. There's nothing wrong with rumors, as long as you don't take yourself to seriously. Everybody is allowd to dream.
