Due to script rewrites.

Due to script rewrites.

Which is commonplace for most movies right before filming begins.

Sounds like they underestimated the popularity of Rey and the gang and want some new characters to take a back seat.

I think this is a good thing. I thought it was a poor choice to load both GoTGv2 and SW EpVIII into the same month. I also imagine we will see a shuffle on the Avatar 2 date soon as well.

I thought the mocking was when you were saying it wasn't going to happen at all.

With the past history of TWDC It's still a possibility that nothing gets built at WDW especially with the decline in TWDC stock pricing.

It's also a possibility that a meteor strikes WDW and eradicates all life on Earth. The probability of it happening is minuscule, but still non-zero. Same for WDW cancelling Star Wars Land.

And the mocking continues...

I agree that it is a good thing. Having SW8 just 6 months after Rouge is too soon. A full year is needed and having a new SWs every year as a Christmas gift is a great idea.

Do you really think Burbank cares what happens to Park Operations in FL unless it negatively impacts financial performance?

No.

Here's the difference, IF I am wrong I'll be pleased that stuff got done, If I'm right all the fanboi's will be weeping and wailing about how Disney does not care about them.

Or, based on previous experience, neither....

Not defending the five year timeline but comparing building something now to building something back then is a bit questionable. Code requirements, labor laws, costs, etc are so different that it's like comparing oranges to mandarin oranges. Yes they are citrus, but considerably different.

thats racist to all members of the citrus family!
My lawyer will contact you on behalf of the mandarine and orange communities.

Looks like TFA did not make enough money, Burbank is probably asking is SW a viable franchise any longer because TFA did not make a billion per week in Box Office.

Um, Hogsmeade opened with everything it has today, other than Honeydukes taking over the former Zonkos space.

really?I keep hearing that the entire place was incomplete other than the castle, ollivander's and the the three broomsticks restaurant.

I have 3 new classifications for #DisneyTwitterers:

1.) I wants me some free stuff
2.) look at the free stuff I gots
3.) people who would be talking to themselves on the street otherwise

Honestly it's all about "look what I have and you don't". That's how these people get famous. That's why Disney constantly holds limited events that "sell out" in five minutes. Disney's entire marketing strategy for the parks basically runs on the bragging rights people get by going to these things. It became clear to me months ago.

If you wanna see Castro or EpcotExplorer work the pole,....I guess I could make inquiries. Maybe Fadra?

that post disappeared pretty fast.. wow.

Yeah because NFL was SO AMAZING, Best land evah in a theme park. NOT!

Where did anyone (besides yourself) mention that recently?

That's cool. When I show my credentials as having started the #grapefruitlivesmatter movement it will be case dismissed.

Walt's death and the World's fair certainly were extreme factors in Haunted mansion. My larger point is that no one would be satisfied today with the DL of 1955 even if it only took 1 year.

If Disney hadn't raised the bar to tech levels of today and entertainment.. probably..
But if Disney hadn't made these kind of theme parks.. we will probably be moaning at Six Flags levels stuff everywhere.

You're getting worse....
