The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

why not? its a genius move..
let them pompously show the mine train.. then instantly steal the thunder and attention with the dragon.

I'm just surprised the Ukranian Ironbelly wasn't holding up his middle finger claw.

Is Hate to Fly a reliable source? I don't think that I've heard of him before?

HTF is usually considered the top Universal source. Occasionally he puts out some Disney stuff too. His record is pretty stellar.

Yeah, had transformers, phase 2 and Kong pegged.

Ok so he is legit then. Thanks!

Not sure he's ever been ahead of any Disney rumors. But as a Universal source, he's proven.

 

[doctornick]

If HTF is excited about something being greenlit, that's good news. Partially because he's been reliable before and partially because he seems like someone who only gets excited by truly quality work. So, what could he be talking about? Could it be Ratatouille to France, which he hinted to before? Maybe, but his reaction seems like it is for something more than that. Something out of the blue like Mystic Manor coming to WDW? Surely would get that reaction, but seems unlikely to happen.

So, the likely thing seems to be, yeah, Star Wars approved in some fashion and he's possibly a big fan. I guess we'll hear more soon enough.

The mention of 4 parks leads me to believe he thinks all 4 parks are becoming full day parks again?

 

[spacemt354]

Just having fun. There's no hard feelings on my end; I have no idea what we've ever fought about.

Probably about the fact that if you sneeze anything Star Wars VII related around PhotoDave, he will blow a gasket.

Edit: should I have spoiler tagged this??
I hope I'm not giving too much away by saying "Star Wars VII." Can't tell if I gave away too much info about the film... If so I better go home and shine shoes with my shine box...

Mystic Manor can not come to any other Disney Park or HK will have a fit and will cause huge problems. But he did seem to hint that Star Wars was coming but I don't get why he would say passes soon because disney takes awhile to build stuff unless they are going full speed on Avatarland.

Maybe he's just really excited about the Frozen sing along and fireworks

 

[Quinnmac000]

Well Disney for sure would consider that an E-ticket...getting ready to wait til midnight to get my fastpass for it

Spirited Monday Mindblowing Musing:

(to me anyway)

I had hoped to spend some time here, but another crazy Disney vs. UNI thread appeared, got my attention and took all the time I have right now.

But I had to drop this bit of news about Star Wars Land (please tell Dave that no talk of the actual land will happen here). It's something I've heard a few people say and I took it all in stride and moved on ... but someone with Disney brought this same point up to me late last night.

There are many reasons why Star Wars expansion at both DLR and WDW has been so delayed and all of them (from NGE overruns to new script for Episode VII etc) are true at least in part. BUT ... there is one other reason Disney has dallied around instead of digging right in (literally) and building: there are people at high levels of both WDW and TWDC that are afraid that Star Wars only attracts certain fanboi demos and that they are 'concerned' it won't appeal to the demos they are most after (Mommies and their 'wittle princesses). No, I am not kidding. I wish I were.

Do I think this absurdness will derail plans? Absolutely not.

Do I think there is any sanity to this? No. But this is what it has come to. Disney/Iger have aggressively gone out and spent billions on BOI-IP in Marvel and Lucasfilm because not all boys want to grown up to be Princesses, even all boys who visit WDW. But now that they have it, there are folks actually afraid that using it may harm its long policy of really only caring about the Mommies.

Is there some basis in reality for this? Possibly. Is it still freaking insane? Nah, just business as usual at your WDC.

Sorry, that's all I have time for right now.

Hope your Mondays were as productive as mine (yes, I may have made someone cry!)

Uhh.. just click 'show ignored content' link at the bottom of the page. Much easier

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't see that link anywhere, even after several minutes. Firefox can't find it with CTRL-F, either. Maybe it's only there when @[IGNORED MEMBER] writes something...

Yea this qualifies as something that would me off. How far up the non-dairy food chain does this go?

 

[WDWDad13]

Ok that 74 post is bull - if Disney was all about just trying to attract "Mommies and their 'wittle princesses'" the someone please explain Carsland and Pandora, 2 of the biggest and most recent or current expansions taking place

Everyone just seems to buy into everything he says....it's almost funny to watch
