Spirit, I have always wondered if a Villians Land was ever a real concept or just fan boy wishful thinking??? What are your thought on such a land?

74 I'm also curious about your feelings of the F&W festival. Have you been to Epcot during that time? I'm doing a girls trip oct 17-20th.
I haven't read a review of it, yet. And I certainly wouldn't base my opinion on one or multiple. I once was a film critic (REALY!!!) and I know how subjective things can get. And what ultimately matters is the box office.
I actually didn't think Superman Returns was a bad film and it wasn't a flop, but Singer tried to 'continue' from the Reeve films and I think that type of superhero film may well be passe in an era of The Avengers and The Dark Knight. ... The only thing I sorta take issue with is not using the John Williams score in some form. Hearing that in person at the Hollywood Bowl is a truly amazing thing that I've been able to do a few times. The new music sounds somber and not uplifting. Superman will always be an uplifting character no matter what they try ... he's still for truth, justice and (what we want to believe is) The American Way. Leave the somber stuff for the Hulk ...

He probably doesn't remember most of his F&W festivals
The last one was absolutely terribly bad, Batman and Robin bad!
Not. Even. Close.
They are on my 'to do' list ... but it gets longer every day!
Yes. I'm saying they'll wind up deciding that they don't need them just like they did with the fall/winter ones.
I can't recall when they are blocked out until. I want to say all of this month and most of next, but maybe a CM here has the exact dates.
Not likely beyond the new Soarin film, which still wouldn't debut before 2015 or 2016.
I have never heard it mentioned at all beyond fan forums ... not at all. Nothing.
BUT ... some folks that I may have some respect for ... even @Lee (I think) have seen or heard that there may have been something to it.

Oh you meant lifting the maingate restrictions for MK. I was confused.... And I'm guessing August 1.

Assuming it actually gets made.
I'm fine with Soarin! the way it is except for the condition of the film and the theater. The film itself? Great. Awesome. Wouldn't change it.

I may be a neophyte when it comes to actual film production but if people can make, film, post, market, and distribute 2-3 hour movies all in 1-2 years ... why in the hell would it take until 2016 to make a 5 min movie? Am I missing something? Why couldn't this be filmed and inserted in by the end of the year?
Many, many times.
My feelings are the event was once a must for me, but like everything else, Disney has taken a lot of the 'value' out of it.
They had FREE tastings from the mid-90s until three years ago ... now, they're like $15 each. Samples are largely very small and instead of being priced at the $.75-2.00 range that they started with now can be $5 or more. You can get an incredible meal at a signature dining location for a day of standing over trash cans eating tiny samples on paper plates.

Then I'll have a few extra cocktails so I will forget how much I'm getting ripped off.

Disney wouldn't mind that
I agree. Replacing it seems dumb, especially in DCA. But it seems like they're going to do what was done with PhilharMagic and take a 'unique' attraction intended for a Chinese MK and debut it here first.
I'll take your very fair question and raise you one or more ... Like why can UNI create an E-Ticket in 11 months, but Disney needs six years for Avatar? Or why does it take the same amount of time to build a kiddie coaster that it will take to build a MK park, two resort hotels, a DD-like complex and assorted infrastructure in Shanghai? Or why does it take five years to expand Fantasyland in 2009-14, but it only took three to build EPCOT Center from 1979-82? Questions ... We have many.
