Star Wars Land - Rumor, no idea when or if it will happen.
Pixar Place expansion - Rumor, no idea when or if it will happen.
Avatar Land - Announced 2 years ago but no idea when it will start construction let alone open
Soarin' Over The World- Rumor, no idea when or if it will happen.
EO Replacement- Rumor, no idea when or if it will happen.
Seven Dwarves Mine Train - Ok, I'll give you that one.
Disney Springs - Nice project , but mainly about getting guests to spend more.

I'll give Disney some credit once some of these things actually start happening.

Okay, first... No one said "Disney is Dead." Our criticisms involve a lack of foresight and long-term investment by management. They seem to be living quarter-to-quarter rather than building an audience base that returns every three years or so.

Second:

Star Wars land - Rumored, not green lit (2018 at the Earliest).
Pixar Place - Rumored, not green lit (2018 at the Earliest).
Avatar - Green Lit, hasn't started construction (2017 at the Earliest).
Soarin Replacement - Rumored since 2005, Not Green Lit.
Capt'n Eo Replacement - Rumored, Not Green Lit.
7DMTC - Construction progressing nicely but not as fast as we'd like.
Disney Springs - Construction has started, parking lots screwed up.

As for things that will actually be happening at WDW? We're finishing Fantasyland. Disney Springs has started. Everything else is speculation.

Oh, and we started wrapping buses Minion Yellow...

Insiders have indicated that these projects would come to fruition. It's almost concrete that we're getting Star Wars Land and Pixar Place at this point. But in the end, they are in fact "rumor"

Yeah, and I've got an inside source that says I'm likely to take a (pooh!) later tonight but that doesnt necessarily make it so.

And my insiders say on SW/PP at DHS that we should reign in our enthusiasm. Nothings happening anytime soon.

Two confirmed. That is all. No movement on any of the others.

Adding more shopping and dining does not add a single thing to the parks.

Oh? When did they announce and start building this? Surely these will all be online to combat the biggest Phase II land in Orlando history!

Wait...

What?

Oh.

No but you're pretty off base with what is rumored and what is actually happening.

We had a lot of good information and these projects seem to have gotten mired in Disney's own Bureaucracy (Where Dreams Die!)... which is where theyre going to try and figure out how to do these things expansions/makeovers and there's ridiculous political infighting that happens for people to get their way....
