Lol.

Shanghai Disneyland Breaks Ground On Toy Story Land

Broke ground... They broke ground on it when they were originally building the park. They just never finished it. They should get no credit whatsoever for this.

Just rename it 6 Flags Orlando and you'll be OK.

Any rumors on the taping schedule or potential performance times throughout the weekend? I am randomly going to be in the Magic Kingdom tomorrow. It would be awesome to accidently see Garth Brooks.

I know Garth was there yesterday, but I don't know anything more than that.

Hard to imagine an operating Disney park with no castle, or even a castle under remodel or addition.

Not to poke holes, but didn't they have a scrim over Disneyland's castle when they were fixing it up for the 60th?

I have no idea.

If so, maybe it's not so hard to imagine after all.

I should have done a quick google search myself. This was from Feb 24th, 2015

So it's not unprecedented, although a brand new castle is quite different from a refurb or sprucing-up of an existing one. We'll have to see what happens. It's not unreasonable for them to want their own, unique castle, I guess.

News/rumor

New store in MouseGear.

This makes me nervous. It is one of the easiest to navigate stores in the parks. Large, good selection, typically not overrun. This is where we normally do our shopping because of those other factors.

I get wanting a unique and larger castle, but I actually don't like Shanghai's all that much. It's too big with way too much going on. I think Paris has the nicest one.
