Photo Update/News
MiceChat has a photo update with concept art that was put up for Toy Story. It looks like everyone was wrong. SWL is probably going into LMA area. That means construction can start much sooner...

Also as a reminder there's been some changes to Toy Story Land that can be seen in the photos too.

Actually this idea is being heavily debated. If it has been moved to LMA, then likely RIP phase 3. But many insiders still have not heard this yet, and not a confirmation that image is actually Star Wars. Lots of random theories out there. No actual confirmations of anything yet. just people speculating just like you did. Many say that the image here does not match the concept art for Star Wars, some even pointing out that it more resembles that of the stuff outside Star Tours. It also could be just the artist rendering of what would be there, or could be what was the expected phase 3. All just speculation that some have run with.

Well most are playing the wait and see game here. If you've been following along on wdwmagic Star Wars can still very well go in the front of the park and not on LMA. Disney isn't going to put something in concept art that hasn't been announced. It's possible it's just an artistic thing.

They haven't taken it off of the website apparently.

Sorry folks - because the drawing of Toy Story Land show some structure off to the side of it means NOTHING.

What this means to me is that all these know-it-alls don't really know anything, it's all just hypothesis until construction starts.

Disney, SeaWorld employees arrested in sex sting
http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/05/us/florida-sex-sting/index.html

Always chilling...

I have to say that one of the more disgusting experiences I had was at Sea World several years ago. This young attractive teenage girl - I think probably from South America - walked past an adult SeaWorld employee and I could see him mentally undressing her and the look in his eyes was just disturbing. I stared him down and his eyes met mine and he knew he was busted. I have the biggest regret that I did not immediately report him to guest services...I think I couldn't read his name tag. But still, shame on me for not reporting him.

Except it is listed in the Muppets Courtyard. Wasn't that name changed after the lights were closed (and weren't they always listed before as Streets of America)? I'm sure it's just something technical, but really weird.

i disagree
concept art is part of the planning process and they dont randomly put something in a picture that looks like Star wars, also why close all of SOA if its not going back there

im pretty convinced this is where SWL is going

JMO of course

Probably what the website defaults to for anything that was SoA

I agree, it's probably just a technical glitch, but I think it's the new reference to Muppets Courtyard that's causing such a stir on the Facebook posts I've seen this morning. I'm sure it means nothing, but it's still fun to speculate

Yes I agree but apparently it's already been taken off the site according to someone on wdwmagic. It probably was just a mistake. They've already started dismantling streets of America.

I know it was coming, and I made sure to spend plenty of time there in March, but it still hurts to see statements like that.

Rumor

Disney is looking at putting Muppets into Liberty Square somehow. No more details than that.

That sounds odd, I don't see the match there...except maybe for Sam the Eagle.

Really?

The premier theater is gone according to reports which is part of SoA.

Yeah I'll be watching this one.
