    Airline employee discounts

    It's very simple, when was the last time you saw an ad for "The Official Airline of Walt Disney World"? Disney Parks would have no reason to cut an airline employee a break if they weren't getting something in return, like cooperative advertising from their company. The airlines also used to...

    New DVC properties being built

    I agree with doconeill and rteetz it would be great to see all this, but it is more than likely a "blue sky" model or a college program planning class. They have "blue sky" models and plans in a lot of Disney facilities and when a project gets green lit they bring the ideas together and see what...

    Disney World Boycott?

    Wait.... Didn't the State of Florida bring charges against Zimmerman? Wouldn't that be why he was in court..... so we are basically going to boycott the state that tried to do the "right" thing, but by following due process was unsuccessful?? That makes a lot of sense......:confused3

    The Main Street Electrical Parade has been running in the Magic Kingdom in WDW since June 5th of 2010 after ending it's run in California Adventure on April 18th of that year. The current run is an "open ended limited engagement" mean there is no scheduled end date at the current time.

    Re: DHS expansion -further evidence the Backlot tour is Going bye bye

    I believe I have read that the Polynesian was constructed in the same method. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesian_Resort See the section "Original Design and Construction"

    Marvel name change

    I don't think this could ever happen. If I remember correctly when Disney announced the purchase of Marvel they said that this was a deal for ownership only, that Marvel would still exist and operate independently of Disney, and be able to stay creatively independent but would be able to take...

    Wreck-It Ralph/The Avengers crossover

    I wasn't aware of the Prep and Landing comic, however, I remember from growing up there were always Marvel characters appearing in different public service comics and such (I have one that has Captain America battling the "evil smoke monsters" as an anti-smoking message to kids) and I am not...

    Wreck-It Ralph/The Avengers crossover

    Also, a little known piece to the Disney/ Marvel deal is that the Marvel executive structure stayed in place and Marvel operates as a, independent subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, they also still have creative control over the use of their characters, and I don't see any of Marvel's main...

    Wreck-It Ralph Attraction

    While this is a great idea..... and I don't want to burst anyone's bubble. Do you realize how much it would cost Disney to license all those franchises and characters for use in the parks "forever". It would cost millions if not billions in licensing fees to companies like Nintendo, Sega, Wonka...

    Disney and Sesame Street

    Having worked at Sesame Place for a stretch of time when Disney was attempting to purchase the Muppet characters and properties, I can tell you first hand that there was an attempt by Disney to "take over" the marketing of the Sesame Street Characters. CTW or Sesame Workshop (as it is now known)...

    A hint that maybe WDW will do something for their 40th

    The D23 mailer for this quarter features the WDW 40th too. Here's hoping that they will do something, anything at all.

    Pirates of the Caribbean 5 STORYLINE!

    Hmmm.... I'd read that the Atlantis concept was the basis for National Treasure 3..... that could be an interesting crossover......:rotfl2:

    What's behind the magic kingdom?

    I'm also pretty sure that Disney has made either some kind of pledge to the state and environmental groups, or has a program with Florida's EPA to keep a certain percentage of the property preserved open space and/ or wetlands. Looking at it, areas around MK and the other parks are the perfect...

    Talking Mickey appears again.

    I don't think anyone is really surprised by the more frequent appearances of these characters. This is the last link to the complete experience that Disney has been trying to develop since Disneyland opened. The Characters talking takes away that last bit of doubt and question that any child may...

    New ROckin Roller Coaster?!

    Isn't Hanna Montana either over or over very soon? I don't see the big money being spent to refurb any ride to something that is over or is very fleeting like the Jonas Bros.

    Makeover for Minnie?!

    According to the comments below the article, the madeover Minnie already exisits..... but I agree this is really only for the marketing aspect of the clothing store. If you look at the park merchandise that has come through in the past few years, we've all the seen the transition from innocent...

    Proof The Rumors Are True!!! TCD Relocation Plans!

    If they are going to "reopen" river country, there is one big problem. Even if Disney wants to use the same slides and attractions, they would have to tear the whole thing out and start from scratch. One of the reasons it closed was the water supply coming from Bay Lake, which became illegal...

    Rumor or truth? -- DHS hat

    IMO the real reasoning behind the "hat" was two things, One for the millenium celebration all of the merchandise had an "icon" for each park and the DHS Icon had always been the earful tower. When put in silouhette it looked to much like a Mickey Head instead of a distinct icon. It was...
