Which was what I posted! Those guidelines are for the contest. There was no mention of gender or race. It said you have to be doing a certain degree in University in a certain subject to participate.

I notice it says no current or former employees from WDI. Does that include CM's?

Cause my intended major is on the list of eligible ones.

Yep, CM's included. Hence the reason I couldn't do the CP if I wanted to.

My Imagineering career is a little more important to me

Still, I can't imagine how impossible it is to even get to be a Finalist.

 

[wdi2b]

[Pecobill]

I would join the team but I'm a CM at WDW starting Feb. 8th.So I can't

 

[marypops!]

I would, but i'm planning to take Geography as my subject (well natural hazards and disaster management to be exact).

Check out this article on the art & animation of Epic Mickey.

Very cool. I love how they're doing the Gremlin Village based on IASW in this game. Especially the clock tower in the sky...

[marypops!]

Those photos are pretty awesome! Well except the banner... With the dinosaur on... Yeah...

What's with that phantom picture? That was weird.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I just read that The Jungle Cruise's inspiration falls joke has been rewritten, and is really no longer even a joke D:

original: "And if you stare at it long enough, it'll inspire you to go. . . deeper and deeper into the jungle!"

new: "And if you stare at it long enough, it'll inspire you to travel deeper and deeper into the jungle"

 

[marypops!]

They said the original line when I went on the Jungle Cruise in August. Was it changed recently?

They might add the first Marvel rides into Shanghai Disneyland (you know, if it ever gets announced...)

Nothing else really new. Oh, they've started filling the lagoon at DCA! Mickey & Goofy got around to fixing that, literally

They've changed the colour of the SM sign from orange to green. Also, the sign on the TTA for Space Mountain has changed to the newer design.

Honestly, I like the orange more. The green just doesn't look right. Also, the view down onto the postshow area (the conveyor with the little model things) has been blocked by a sign called Starport 75.

Mystery! Oh, and they're building a circular type thing outside the main building. Could be a fountain. Most likely a fountain.

Here's some more refurbishment photos:

I dunno; I don't mind the new sign.
True the orange/red was a much more "thrill" driven color but I kinda like the lime, regardless.

I'm happy something (fountain/planter) is going in that waiting-ish area. It was a pretty boring plain concrete area before.

 

[marypops!]

I just noticed they've taken out the orange from the main sign to replace it with the green.

It'll take some getting used to, but it's better then when I thought it was yellow from a blurry YouTube video...

 

[MickeyisBeast]

I liked it orange better. I'm glad they're putting something around the waiting area, they really needed something.
