I just want to emphasize the line that says this is going between Test Track and Mission Space, not in Wonders of Life.

wait, so you are saying they are going to move the Wonders of Life Pavilion?!?!?!?

LOL...I only thought that because of the concept art for the Space Restaurant being curved.

Looking at a map though, is there really enough room for this restaurant, or do you think they will build it a little further back close to the backstage road?

Yes it will be set back a little bit.

I can’t think of a reason for this blog post other than to squash the Wonders of Life pavilion rumors. Very strange.

That is weird. I think also people were beginning to worry the project was cancelled because nothing has been said.

Disney Cruise Line Possibly Considering Developing Another Private Island

This has been a rumor/news for years now. It will be interesting to see if it comes to be true. With three new ships coming online it would make sense.

I think a separate island, like Castaway Cay, would be better. It just reminds me of Labadee and the fact it's actually in Haiti. I always feel guilty when I am there However, I don't think Disney is looking at anywhere near like Haiti.

I have no retail experience, but I am hard working, detail oriented, and a huge Disney fan. Think I have a chance

Why is there so much hate on this board for WDWNT? Unless I'm missing something I've found them to be almost dead on accurate with almost everything they put out there.

The past two days have demonstrated one of the big reasons, they have posted two "click-bait" headlines support by flimsy and inaccurate information. "BREAKING: Work to Begin Soon on New Future World Hotel at the Entrance of Epcot", citing permits that don't actually support that conclusion, "RUMOR: Preparations Underway for New Magic Kingdom Area Hotels", which if they had read the permits carefully they would know this is for construction at Ft Wilderness. They also have re-posted things from other sites without giving credit.

Your logic always made sense on that one...Wonders of Life is just too big. However, it still begs the answer of "Why refurb WoL and kick out the festival events?" There's gotta be something else going on there.

They are definitely doing something there.

Disney Could Give Up Sky to Get Fox Assets

that article also outlines a good, quick summary of the motivation for the deal - though I think Sky is still pretty key to making it all make sense

Today in Disney History

In 1926 Don Rickles voice of Mr. Potato Head and William in Tiki Room was born.

In 1991 newspapers reported Disney’s WestCot project would cost $3.1 billion.

In 1998 nothing important in Disney happened but I was born...

Live with Regis and Kelly tape shows to celebrate Disneyland’s 50th in 2005.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

[MissGina5]

Happy Birthday @rteetz Thanks for all your hard work and I was also born in 1998!!!

I hope not.

I don't think People born in 98 are really considered Millennials. Millennials are in their 20s- late 30s now.

I am considered part of the Millennial generation by some and not by others. It depends on the “research” group.
