Reports are now suggesting that soft opening may start at the end of this week. These reports also say that all CMs have ability to ride or test the attraction. This person said they saw many different CMs riding these lat couple days, and Friday may be the day where they start letting a few people in for a soft opening.

I am not sure but I am almost positive that some cast members were riding Friday evening as I was leaving Gaston's Tavern. The train passed by fast so I was unable to see. It was the only train I caught that appeared to have people in it.

I doubt the tweet was stating that something was happening right at this moment. I believe it was more of a teaser that something is going to happen in the future. Sadly I am torn on the issue. While new rides seem nice, do we have to add Disney movies to World Showcase?

No...they're going to flood the exit ramp of anything they build anyway with loosely "related" garbage...why not just build something different and spare the forced tie in?

Iger always does this he hints at things. Just like he hints at Star wars all the time but nothing has happened. I'll take this with a very tiny grain of salt.

Hot on the heels of the Trader Sam's and Grand Ceremonial Hall announcements, Disney has today confirmed more changes coming to Disney's Polynesian Resort.

'Pineapple Lenai' food and beverage kiosk will be opening later this year, offering tropical treats, including the Dole Whip.

The Nanea Volcano pool is set to receive several enhancements, including expanding to include a new aquatic playground with slides for children, a hot tub, and a larger deck with more seating for guests. The pool area will close at the end of July for the upgrades that will last through until early 2015.

The hot tub has been rumored for a while not it has been confirmed.
