Does any of the money go towards the Disney conservation fund?

More like the Disney Corporate Fund

SMH, thats what I thought. I would have been ok with the increase if it went towards the wildlife/environment. Oh well. I will donate some when I go to AK next week

wait I want my ornament!

I was actually just talking to my wife about this. What about the AP's that went to the parties that already happened. Seems pretty bogus to me.

Disney reusable bags now range in price from $2-3 up a little bit from $1-2.
$2 - $2.50 - $3

Yep, I was the guy that bought a size of each bag that he saw (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, World of Disney, and the generic one they were selling at Pop Century). Glad I did that when everything was a dollar cheaper. We use them to transport our groceries so we don't have to use plastic bags anymore.

Nothing wrong with the Riverboat, but all that room back there? Just think of what you can do with that real estate and how you can connect the two areas around Tom Sawyer's island. That would excite me.

I believe the Rivers of America is an integral part of the MK drainage system, as a cleverly disguised retention pond, and thus you cannot fill it in and build over it.

If that's the case, it's just a more expensive project.

There is also the waterway in and out they use for transporting ships and for the repair area/dry dock - so I agree it would be hard to totally get rid of it

Now, I think they could do like what they did at Disneyland which is reroute it/shorten it a bit and build a new land on the far side and have that as another way to connect around to Fronteirland as well

I’d rather keep the Bears. Toy story has its own land. That’s good enough for me and I love Toy Story.

It also would not hurt to have a show like this added to Toy Story Land. It would be a great crowd eater and HWS is going to really need that

Well that's an interesting approach that should definitely push it to the top. I wonder if this was planned previously, or if they just saw how close the numbers were and thought we have to get it to #1 somehow.

Anyone else think this was the plan all along if they didn't top Avatar through the first release?

Eh, I wouldn't count on it. Avatar also did a re-release while it was still in theaters and it only made around another 20 million. I think it will be close. I've been waiting to see it a second time and now I'll definitely do so.

Wipe out the Native American village, along the railroad, for a true Frontier experience. /Rail narrator voice.

I'd actually been meaning to see it again (well, a fifth time) in theaters, so this is just a nice bonus.

Probably. They have to figure out which deleted footage should be included in the blu-ray release anyway so they can just include some of that here.

The new footage is just a post credit scene. And the film is still $45 million behind Avatar, which pulled in ~$33 million from its worldwide rerelease. Passing Avatar is still not a guarantee. Still unknown if this is a worldwide release or how wide of a domestic release it is.
