Of course you are in Trantor (Washington DC) which is the OTHER 'Reality does not apply here' City on the east coast. Props to those who understand the reference to Trantor.

If all goes as rumored for locations for TSL and Star Wars, that would mean the entire back corner of the park (Catastrophe Canyon, LMA, the non-Muppets part of SoA) will be torn down -- this is where "Phase 3" would go. I'm extremely skeptical that they wouldn't build something there for capacity reasons and guest flow, if nothing else. Without putting something there, you'd have no connection from Toy Story Land down to Muppets and Star Wars. Maybe it will be minimal and cheap. Maybe it will be undeveloped with lots of space reserved for "future development", but we'll get some version of Phase 3. It should already be budgeted as part of the reported $2.8B going to DHS.

Plenty of stuff for exploration related themes in the 50's - heck if you want to keep with the space theme. there was the International Geophysical Year which started July 1 1957.

Geriatric Indiana Jones vs the corpse of Hitler!
kinda hard to go back to the same timeline when your original character looks like in his late 70's.

That almost sounds like an episode of Scooby Doo.

Well, technically there is nothing new and with the tons of cuts... Why would you feel hype right now?

I much enjoy living just outside of Orlando. Less than an hour drive, but far enough away from that touristy feeling.
Where I'm at still doesn't have the charm of back home in the North, though. Everything is still too new here.
But you can't beat the weather. I've only experienced snow twice in 6 years. Both on work trips to Syracuse.

you live in Tampa? my boss lives there and he tells me the same.
Plus living nearby but not "in the zone" drops the rent, costs and taxi prices by a TON according to him.

Hong Kong got theirs in time for the film's theatrical release... What a novel concept!
The M&G opened on the 13th of July, ten days before the film opened in Hong Kong theaters on the 23rd.

Indiana Jones needs to act like the bond series... Just plug in new bonds and move on like nothing happens. The stories that can be told our endless if they stay true to that line of development. if they try to push the time frame out of what makes Indy Indy it will not be the same movies.

You know, theme park mania notwithstanding, I wouldn't say it's an Orlando thing. Florida doesn't act like the real world most of the time.
Tampa, for example, has its own varieties of bizarre. It's downright dystopian to wander around the themed and manicured Busch Gardens park out here on the edge of the city limits only to get a spectacular view of a few scuzzy local establishments when you ascend Montu's lift hill. It'd make a great Simpsons screen gag.

I came from Virginia and there were very distinct separations between the poor, middle class and higher end parts of town. In Florida that seems to be less prevelant. You can have million dollar homes and go a few blocks down the road and you are in a bad part of town. Heck, in Orlando you have the nice area around the Mall at Millenia and if you go a few blocks away you have one of the worst parts of town.

man, i just scanned the topics of the news and rumors section...
anyone ever do that and just get downright depressed?
also, this bums me out: i've had four people tell me in the last week that, when they go, they are going to "get wasted at epcot," as if that's the only thing to do there. hard to argue with them, though, considering that's...pretty much the only thing to do there. and these aren't disney frequenters. they are once-or-twice in a lifetimers who simple equate epcot with drinking around the world. congrats, disney. you turned the park with the most soul into an empty vessel of imported beers, and it only took you a decade or two!
