So I was chatting with Patrick Brennan the other day, and although I won't tell you exactly what we discussed, I can tell you that Typhoon Lagoon came up in the discussions. Apparently there's been a second expansion beyond Crush'n Gusher which has been in the works for a very long time. Although the project's not been green lit at this time, hopes are high that with continued good attendance at the waterparks, management will see the benefits of adding greater capacity to the park most easily expanded. If you're curious as to where the expansion would take place, it would be to the west of Crush'n Gusher, in an area referred to as the boneyard by cast members. And sorry, but I cannot give you any details about the project at this time.
In my rush to type out a list of future, added incentives for guests to stay on-property which are being discussed, I forgot to mention one of the most exciting ideas we've come up with. We are currently looking at the possibility of implementing a system where each on-site guest receives a Magic Pass for each night they spend in a Disney Resort hotel. So if a guest stays at the Pop Century Resort from Monday through Wednesday, then each day they go to the parks, they have one Magic Pass to spend. So what is a Magic Pass? A Magic Pass is a fastpass... but a fastpass you can spend on any attraction of your choice. Think a one-time Dream Pass. These would be embedded in your RFID card.
And for those of you who think you've got all the scoop on the Magic Kingdom's future changes from the Fantasyland blueprints circulating on the web... well think again. Although I did tell you in May that the Magic Kingdom would see its borders expanded for the first time in 20 years, the blueprints are not all that's coming to the most visited theme park in the world.
