So this a rumor at the time but apparently the Frozen overlay is getting a much bigger budget then expected. So yea maybe they realize they need to really put money into it if they are going to do it.

The next thing is that the rat might not be coming to Epcot after all. I know Rteetz you mentioned this earlier and I don't know your source, but mine came from a friend.

Sorian closes in 2015. This is pretty much solid.

Imagination is currently being worked at the "first" and yes I said FIRST Future World pavilion to see changes over the coming years. No idea what they are thinking though.

The spirit said rat is not coming. Spirit also said that soarin would be in 2016 which is different from what you have but it looks like it's coming. Spirit did not mention anything on imagination pavilion.

I think a Starbucks at DHS would be great. But they shouldn't remove a shop for it. I'd rather see it go where Starring Rolls is, but that's too small. Come to think of it, both spaces are small when you compare them to the Starbucks conversions at MK and Epcot.

I'm actually really glad they arent removing Starring Rolls.
