My dad and I are seriously discussing going to Tokyo DL next year
He said he couldn't take 10 days off of work to go to WDW with me, so I'll probably still take that trip, too but solo.

Aaannnddd if I go to college in southern California, that means there's a possiblity of me visitng 3 resorts in one year!

It looks really amazing. How I wish I could go when we're next in Florida...

Disney has patented an interactive water-ride experience. Various spinning rides that dump water on you. Woooo! There's a ferris wheel, a carousel, and a sort of swinging ride. Looks like people can spray jets of water at you as well. What do you guys think of it?

A bit of a bump.. but looks interesting.. I've been to Sentosa before, it's always had small amusement type parks, but this is pretty cool.

Tom Fitzgerald is now senior Imagineer.
According to Laughing Place, Tony Baxter and Bob Weis now report to Tom Fitzgerald.

It looks interesting. I'd like to see more pictures.

What do you think of the patent Disney recently made? (Link in my last post...)

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

To be honest, I didn't quite understand it, but it does sound interesting. (the patent)

 

[marypops!]

I didn't understand it until I saw the pictures here:

Okay, I get the ferris wheel and the carousel, the pig thing threw me a bit, and the swings look verrrryy interesting.

Wonder where this would be implemented.. a new waterpark?

The waterwheel/ferris wheel was very cool, I could see that in a reincarnation of River Country, or by Grizzy River Run (or in HKDL's soontobebuilt Grizzly Peak or whatever)

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

The pig contraption makes me think of Toy Story for some reason (maybe because it looks a bit like it's made of random objects).. and there's currently two toystory lands being built..

 

[marypops!]

It looks like a Dumbo ride, pig style...

Looks like an interactive water park is in the works maybe?

Wasn't there plans to turn River Country into a themed pool for Fort Wilderness? Hmm...

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Couple of things to talk about..
For this post:
Silly Symphony Swings

They're almost done!

2. There's a new exhibit in Innoventions powered by IBM about Smart technologies and Smarter Planet ideas

My dad works for IBM (who also sponsored the robot exhibit) and I just thought you'd like to know. The Smarter Planet exhibit sounds very intriguing.

I liked that cartoon short. It would be interesting if all the seats were different instruments, or anything else caught in the tornado in the cartoon.

DisneyD23

Ticket info for D23’s 1st Anniversary at WDW 3/5/10. Private dinner, Fantasyland Forest peek, & more!

So the name of the Expansion is Fantasyland Forest

even though it seemed less forest-y in that model i posted.

 

[WDWtraveler27]

The name does not really fit.

 

[marypops!]

Yeah. I did mention a few pages back that Jim Hill mentioned in an article it was called the Fantasy Forest expansion, which is close enough.

In the concept art, it looks pretty foresty, but with the Pixie Hollow segment changing so much, it's pretty much gone...

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I'm really upset over Concept Art v. the model.

We will find out after March 5th, the WDW event where imagineers will talk more about it.

 

[marypops!]

Wish I could go to the event, but i'm not in WDW until August. Also, i'm not a D23 member. I could go with my aunt, but she's there from the 19th March. Oh, and she's not a member either...

I wonder if the dessert party is back on again... I would very much like to partake in the event again.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I would go.. but there's no economically feasible way to go.
