First thing you will want to learn real quick is I NEVER just throw out info and then call in Insider info. Please the people saying these things have been SPOT ON with past info including New Fantasyland, Disney Springs and the Frozen ride. So maybe you don't trust them but unless they have just now decided to start spreading crap then yes I put a little weight on what they say. Also as far as Star Wars Disney isn't going to cheap out on this. Probably why they are wanting to separate budgets for it and whatever else they have planned. To think that suddenly they have closed Backlot to let the land just sit there well you think what you want then. Star Wars land is going to happen and ill buy you lunch if Pixar doesn't show up in some form. You can think what you want but if you believe what you are typing then you are as naïve as you sound.
I wish I had your faith, but I don't.
But...I'm not telling you you're wrong either. The fact is neither of us knows and won't until we see something built/not built. Trust only the shovels.
I don't believe in the concept of the insider. Mainly because the only "insider" with direct
Information on real development are the accountants, legal, and the stock analysts. And they don't leak.
So no offense to the spirit, "Chris", Jim hill, and the dozens of other "insiders" I've seen given the credit of Allah on these boards...I don't doubt that "insiders" may speak to them... Just not the right ones.
Do you ever get the feeling that imagineering is a Bunch of loose lips?... Using interdom and whatever press access they can get to fight a "silent war" with those in power at TWDC.
I don't doubt their good intentions...but I also don't doubt they'll lose.
They'd be build the sky and charge nothing if they had the budget - but they won't get the money.
That is specifically for WDW...the rules are different for other spots. The thinly veiled policy there seems to be "keep the gravy train on the tracks... Without spending much of its cargo"
It seems to fit.
And speaking of naive...you said "Disney won't cheap out on Star Wars"
THAT is the definition of wishful thinking. What they will do is CAPITALIZE on it without question.
That doesn't necessarily mean they will break the bank - or spend one Nickel more than what they determine is necessary - in order to do that.
I guess I'm parking my glasshouse right next to yours, huh?
