Hey all,
Here is an awesome video from Nasa's Information Technology Summit as aired on CSPAN:

Starting at about 50min 30 sec, Jack Blitch from Walt Disney Imagineering-Vice President and General Manager in Florida discusses the technical aspect of imagineering. Overall, a very interesting video.
The parts of interest to us though are the following:
1 hour and 10 minutes: concept computer model of LM building
1 hour and 13 minutes: concept computer model of LM where you "fly through" the queue and part of the ride to the big Under the Sea scene.
1 hour 43 minutes: some more concept art, aerial view of the site, etc of fantasyland expansion.
Given the ongoing debate in the Staggs confirms change of Fantasyland thread, it is interesting to note that Mr. Blitch NEVER mentions the previously announced Cinderella and Aurora meet and greets. In fact, all of the models and concept fly throughs seem to always cut off before they would get to that area. He mentions several times that the design is "still in process", all of which goes along with what we've been thinking.
He does confirm, as we already knew, that the BATB restaurant with Belle M&G, LM ride and Double Dumbo are all a go.
