While it was considered a huge flop at the box office, it has a pretty big cult following.

I'd love if Joe Johnston came back to direct.

I wonder if it will be a relative of Bessie Coleman tying it to Jock Lindsey's and the Rocketeer references already there...

I just find it amazing that Disneyland is way way way more efficient on their construction projects compared to WDW. Like they rerouted the Rivers of America and the Disneyland Railroard in something that I would think would take a lot of time. Honestly, by Summer 2017, I will be surprised if DHS has even started bulldozing the Streets of America, at this rate.

Here's an article in regards to Walt Disney World's conservation efforts for Purple Martins if you're interested.

I got excitied for a second when I thought it was about Purple Martinis.

Disney may use guests footwear in order to track their movements throughout the park, seems like a scary concept.

I think it all depends on Disney's motivations to get something done. With Rivers of America closed, they had to shut quite a few attractions (Railroad, Fantasmic!, the canoes, the Mark Twain...) so at this point they probably want to finish it as soon as possible and re-open that whole section. Not that there's no motivation to finish all the work at DHS asap, but a lot of people will go to DHS regardless.

Disneyland has like a 5th of their park demolished with several attractions down. Disneyland needs those things back up asap. DHS doesn't need to rush. Toy story is well underway at DHS and LMA is being demoed as we speak.

This has been a discussion point on wdwmagic. Often Disney files these patents and never uses them they just file them in case they ever do want to use them.

They're already pretty good at tracking you with magic bands.

I'm here for a Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke cameo. Didn't Meryl kind of dislike Walt, though? Oh well...
