A new ice cream stand has been placed outside the Tangled area at Magic Kingdom. It is a temporary location, but no idea how long it is staying there.

Most likely because of hub construction a lot of stands from the hub area are moving to different places.

This is rumor at this point and should be treated as such for now. Some insiders are saying that "Dream Along With Mickey" will end this summer. The word is that the stage is going to be worked on during the hub redevelopment so obviously the show is unable to perform. Insiders say that a new show will replace the old one after the hub is finished. This is just rumor at this point.

I'm not sure on this. I know a performer in that show. She just started on Jan 1. Her contract is for one year. Surely the construction for the hub was planned before she signed her contract.

I could definitely see it taking a break because of the construction this is the first I've heard of it ending though. I'm sure it will have to stop for construction for a little but.

The next year is going to be a nightmare for people going to Downtown Disney. The parking will be awful. If I was staying at a resort I would just take the bus.

To add to this a temporary location will be available but will not serve dole whips. This location is going to be where the CM cafe is and is being worked on as we speak. Rumors are they are looking at a July opening for captain cooks.

Disney is going to buy YouTube network maker studios for $500 million.

Two questions. First is this like the entire youtube brand? Second what reasons could they have to do buy it? I mean they make pretty good videos already.

A WILD rumor

Ok so take this with a grain of salt if that because this next rumor is pretty wild. Most of you probably remember Flamingo Crossing. The resort and shopping complex planned to be right outside the Disney beltway. It was going to be Disney but not Disney basically. The economy tanked and things went real quiet. The only news we heard is that in 2011 Walgreens signed a deal with Disney to build on the land. (Which is strange considering the thing was apparently "cancelled") What really has me scratching my head is that a new "mystery" company has signed a lease deal with Disney over the Flamingo Crossing project. This took place right at the end of 2013. No news on who it is. This is a WILD AND FAR OUT rumor so don't believe it until there is more info on it. Ill keep digging to see if I can find something.

It's a branch that was owned by time warner. The company made short films and videos and has some new technologies that disney may want to look into. They specialize in internet videos one thing that is hot in the industry right now so disney had to get in the door as well.

Ok, I did some digging and learned that Flamingo Crossing was never cancelled per se. The thing was postponed and is able to resume building at any time deemed fit.
