Star Wars related anouncment at D23 all but confirmed

[Festivus]

I dont know about that Star Tours 2.0 with the FL expansion plus Journey to the Center of The Earth probably coming to AK all this is going to take a big chunk out of WDW's budget and im guessing they probably wont have the funds to build an abudance of attractions in that area that will be a very heavy cost.

I know, I'm just not a big fan of that area. Fake storefronts and cardboard cityscapes always kill my Disney buzz when I walk through that area.

Many insiders here have implied to not get hopes up for JTTCOTE or anything new to DAK.

Yes, this.

Concerning Star Tours: The person who said Al Lutz was wrong was WDIinsider who was later banned by Steve personally.

So that's what happened to him...does anyone know why?

Who knows they might suprise us in a couple of years and the attraction might pop up out of nowhere. But i guess there not thinking about putting anything new in since they just got E:E 3 years ago.

He was just making stuff up and wasnt who he said he was.

The Magic # for the D23 Expo seems to be that 3 announcements will be made. Did this number come from anywhere official, or was it that people came to the conclusion that Fantasyland, Star Tours 2.0 and Soarin' would be announced?

The 501st appearing at the D23 expo is official. Not sure on anything else.

2010 for Disneyland makes the most sense to me since it's Disneyland's 55th. and it should be a major event.

Indiana Jones Adventure was the centerpiece of Disneyland's 40th. anniversary celebration in 1995 and since that was extremly sucessful for them i'm sure they want to capture lightning in a bottle twice and launch the 55th. with another new Lucas blockbuster e-ticket :sohappy:.

Oh and I think Disney's MGM Studios started going south after Bob Weiss left. It was shortly after Twilight Zone:Tower of Terror opened that everything fell apart. I personally feal its a mistake to bring the music industry and too many "hip" elements into the parks. Aerosmith and American Idol don't belong in the park as far as im concerned. Disney's own properties, Jim Henson Studios, Lucasfilm, and Pixar all represent timeless entertainment and not something that is hip and trendy. They should have focused on developing attractions around those studios and maintained the "1930s golden age of hollywood" around the park.

I can fairly easily identify when that park started going downhill for me, at least. It was when the Studios Commisary became the ABC Commisary. That was the beginning of the end of cohesiveness for me. Personally, I don't understand it either. They had the perfect way to promote Disney movies, and then decided to promote the ABC TV shows. It strikes me odd because you get plenty of promotion for TV shows already, as most Americans have TVs in their houses already. And promoting American TV shows to the visiting foreigners is pointless, while many outside USA still enjoy our movies.

Wow. It's not too surprising, considering he blatantly stated in his user name that he was an insider. :lol:

It's kind of sad, really. The news he gave was always very positive, and I fell for it. How did you find out?
