News Round Up

Bug's Life makes sense just because it could replace Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground very easily.

One thing I worry about when I read speculation that Echo Lake and Gertie will become a Dagobah attraction is what will happen to 50's Prime Time Cafe and Hollywood & Vine? I suppose they could remain, but going from 20's Hollywood and 50's Americana might be an awkward transition into the iconic swamp of Star Wars. I think (hope?) the lake remains as a buffer -- maybe Gertie gets the axe though.

I love the old Hollywood atmosphere and I hope that isn't diminished.

I wholeheartedly agree and hope that they do find a way to be able to keep it. They found a way to merge 20's Hollywood at the front of DCA, so I hope they will do the same at DHS. I hope these rumors are true. I would LOVE a huge Star Wars land, RSR (don't hate!), and the Indiana Jones ride from Disneyland. But please LEAVE the Muppets.....Oh, if only I ruled the world!!

I hope I'm still alive when all of the the updates at Hollywood Studios are finished!

Right now it seems 2021 is going to be the best WDW year in a long time

Can't speak for Hollywood and vine but I've heard 50s will stay. The only one saying echo lake leaves for sure is Jim hill haven't gotten confirmation from anyone else yet.

Indiana jones is really the biggest grain of salt in that article. Star Wars is basically a duh, RSR is a maybe but jones is unlikely.

Don't forget, that's the year of WDW's 50th anniversary. I'm sure it will be spectacular!

It seems that while they may have regretted avatar they are definitely not taking any short cuts with it. I'm very excited to see it.

The 3 billion is basically the biggest item that has been confirmed or said by multiple people to be right. Everything else hasn't leaked or got out yet.

who are they?

 

[twebber55]

"They" as in WDW and the WDC.

I figured as much regarding Indy.... Sure is s great ride though....

The Pirates refurb has been going along nicely and is more than just a spit and polish job. New animatronics are replacing old ones that don't work.

MK has been closing for some due to capacity.
