If the WDW workers could earn a living wage (Disney Corporate would have to get by on a few million less) then there would be no problem getting staff that would work hard and smile. Maybe instead of Occupy Wall Street, it should be Occupy Main Street @ WDW.

they already do import labor - haven't you noticed how many CMs are from Turkey?

when we were there in august, it seemed as if half the CMs we spoke with were from Turkey...

Or they are college kids.

Which is kind of the same thing. they get little-no pay (I'm not sure if they get paid at all) and in most cases no credit for school

Is this for real? Is there really going to be a new land, with the above mentioned attractions? and if so when, and if so, where is the info from?

disneysource, if you're making this up I give you an A for creativity, if you're not, then I'm excited about it. I think that 5th park threads are the most interesting of any Disney Forum.

I'm so sick of these rumors. Can someone please delete these threads or at least can everyone stop posting on it so it will fade into obscurity???


Jeez!

well, when someone posts something with such detail, I want to know where the information came from. When I get the answer, I will then choose if I will read this thread or not. Whether it is closed or not, we all have a choice to click on it and read it, or pass it by.
:O)

There was concept art and rumored attractions. That's it.

Its the truth, but like many have said it probably won't happen for another 10 years. There's too much money being invested in the current parks at the moment to create a new one..

I agree with Steeler's Midget. Ridiculous post! If you read this and decide "I can't wait" you are going to be waiting a LONG time - like FOREVER. They are NEVER EVER EVER going to build something like this, unless you pick up EPIC MICKEY. Even if they ever were going to build a 5th gate...it would NOT be this.

C'MON, just look at the concept. There going to build an entire park of EXACTLY IDENTICAL RIDES to the existing park? Please.

Sure because it's commonplace for Disney to invest resources creating and naming attractions which aren't scheduled to be built for 10 years.

Disney doesn't even know what they will be putting in Avatar Land come 2013, but they've got Dark Kingdom all mapped out for 2021. How could anyone even question this?!?!

That's like saying Rockin Rollercoasters just like Big Thunder. They are very different parks.

10 years? Don't make me laugh. There is no way this is going to happen until Disney needs a 5th gate for capacity reasons and can manage the labor issues involved. When the perpetual discounts dry up, then maybe you can convince me that they're starting to run anywhere near capacity, and even then, expanding existing parks is cheaper than building a 5th gate.

No, a 5th park, no matter what it's going to be, isn't something we're going to see until the kids being taken the WDW by their parents start bringing their kids to WDW. If then.

I can't see them even beginning construction on something like this is less than 15 years, let alone 10.
