Let's see if any other sources will confirm this.

On an additional note, our sources were also able to confirm Maelstrom will be updated to a Frozen-themed type of water ride. Speculation on this ride being changed to a Frozen theme has been rampant as of late. I personally heard of this rumor in several forums and Facebook groups, but our sources were able to provide confirmation.

The timeline on Maelstrom being changed to a Frozen theme water ride and open to the public is Fall 2014. As with the additional Anna and Elsa Meet and Greet, it could be up to the end of the year as well before this is completed and available to the public."

Yay! We'll be able to accommodate large volumes of people right at the end of the busiest time of year and the start of the deadest.

Fall of 2014 for all of this construction? LOL This is Disney we are talking about...right?

 

[spewey]

Oh you two ...

Interesting. This is just the latest of a series of rather ummm... bold claims by TT; some have turned out to be true, but others not so much.

They can build things fast, But... That sounds improbably fast. Are there any blue walls up now?

I have a hard time believing they could pull this off. Especially the makeover of Maelstrom. At least without it coming off as cheap looking.

Fall of 2015...maybe.

It's a total no-brainer, though.

 

[Altoqueenkelly]

Nope. I don't like it. It doesnt belong in World Showcase. The M&G is fine but not the ride overlay!!!

Ugh. I hope there isnt anything done until after we leave (Sept 10-16)... Last thing I want to deal with is MORE construction!

If her daughter is a CM as I have heard, I hope she knows where to get a job when she loses this one.

I love this post. I thought the same thing.

I could care less about the ride. The meet and greet is awesome. If it's true, I'm highly skeptical it'll be open by the time we go in December. Thanks Disney. Meh.

With that timeline, we're talking a few plywood cutouts. And maybe replace the waving bear with a reindeer.
It figures to be an embarrassment, but it will give a marketing hook.

I'd be very surprised if she's getting her info from her daughter. Her daughter is just a regular old CM and not in a position to know any of this stuff. I get the impression that most CMs are as surprised by changes as the public, so I don't think the gossip machine works very fast there.

I don't really follow TT, so what has she recently been wrong about?

 

[Planogirl]

Norway is very small. I wonder where they will put the meet and greet?

Maelstrom is a small ride too. I supposed that they could show Anna riding the polar bear and Elsa sitting with the big troll.

To my way of thinking, having an A&E Meet & Greet in MK and an A&E Meet & Greet in Epcot (Norway)
will likely mean that many guests will want to meet the Frozen gals in BOTH LOCATIONS during a WDW trip.

Rather than solving a single problem, this "fix" might nearly be doubling it.

That could actually be true if the girls are going to be dressed differently in the two parks, and the TT rumor is that at least Anna will be in her coronation dress.

If they do different dresses, they are just guaranteeing this will not fix the problem

Norway is where princesses hang out. That is what Anakausua (sp?) means, house of the Princess Meet and greet.
