Today in Disney History

The Garden Grill opened in the Land Pavilion in 1993

That has to be a typo. We ate there in December of 1992 on our Disneymoon.

The restaurant had a different name in 92, officially changed names on this date in 93.

Release dates for upcoming Disney films through 2020

http://www.mouseinfo.com/new/2016/11/disney-confirms-future-feature-release-dates/

Some surprises here. I didn't realize both Mulan and Mary Poppins were so far along (I guess they have announced Mary's cast though). Ditto Indiana Jones (and Harrison will turn 77 the year it is released).

Looks like 2019 will be the peak year of their animated remakes.

And another DisneyToon feature?!? Please stop.

Well live actions definitely take less time than animated films. I am a bit surprised by mulan but not Mary poppins. We also don't know if Ford will be back as Indiana jones. Disney definitely has a lot on their plate and it's going to fun to watch.

I was surprised too. I thought DisneyToon was gone for good. I guess their movies are mostly fine as long as they are not those dreadful direct to video sequels they were producing in the 2000's

Reports I saw was that it was a part of Ford's contract in A Force Awakens for the next Indiana Jones movie. He had two key points in the contract, the one scene we all know, and one last Indiana Jones movie. After that Disney/Lucas films can move on from Ford in that franchise.

Do you mean in any of the films past Indy 5? Because we definitely know Ford will be playing Indy in Indy 5.

From the magical studio that brought you Planes, DisneyToon Studios proudly presents "Trains". Follow Axle, a never-give-up caboose that is determined to one day be head end of his locomotive.

Or maybe Axle gets separated from his train due to a chain malfunction and he has to find his way back and yadda yadda yadda.

So the only real surprise on here to me is the fact that it lists "Live Action Fairytale Movie" for July, 2017 - which is just next year. How do they not know which movie will be released next year? It would already have to be in post-production at this point. Is it just a super secret?

My bad I didn't remember seeing it confirmed that he would play the role again. There was so much talk about getting a new younger actor.

Lasseter said at one point that they were going to make all sorts of movies like that, planes, cars, trains, boats....

I like Miranda, I'm excited to see what happened here. From what I've seen so far with moana I think he has potential to be Disney's next Mencken.

If they are doing away with the outer brown box, which it looks like they would, that's a bummer because the contents will now be obvious. More than just kids knowing, it will stand out as a target for mail theft. IMHO.

Because the Incredibles design is now on the inside of the new box, it appears to me the outside of the box will just be white. We got our bands last week and they were in the old packaging.

I do like the idea of using the boxes as drawer organizers. Ours just sit in the basement.
