I'm wondering if it will have an impact on AVATAR Land at Animal Kingdom and the new Cirque du Soleil show...

Well this would coordinate more with the opening of avatar. I don't think it will have an impact at all. I don't know anything about the new show.

That turned out fine...nothing to see here
