Whoa - sorry that would really suck for DLR, but if it comes to WDW it's a major win for us east coasters if they switch MSEP and PTN.

I am not sure the powers that be at DLR realize how awful MSEP compared to PTN. This isn't a case of swapping Spectromagic for MSEP, which were on a similar level. MSEP is by far the inferior parade.

New interactive Experience. It looks like this one costs extra and is booked through Disney Floral.

lol that's not going to end well. They've been messing with the AP's quite a lot lately, and that is not good, especially at DLR.

I wonder how long it will take to relocate to Florida. Any chance this can happen within 3 weeks???? Say by 10/1, but NO later than 10/7???

Magic Kingdom's 45th anniversary, perhaps? Almost one month after its closure in Anaheim.

Yep now does paint the night become seasonal, go to WDW or go to DLP.

That might be too quick of a turn around.

Yeah, probably too soon.

That's also quite plausible. DLP's anniversary is also coming, and apparently they are getting a new parade, aren't they? Imagine the meltdowns if Paint the Night leaves the states.

Anyone heard about the rumor that the Great Movie Ride may be closing at DHS in 2018 - it's currently being discussed on WDWmagic.

Okay this is how I understand it. The TCM contract for sponsorship is only a 3 year contract so that means it ends in 2018. That means the GMR will not have a sponsor after 2018 which very well could mean it goes away or is changed. Martin almost hints that the rumored additional e ticket attraction could go into the GMR building.

I think some of you might be interested in the new thread I just started about GMR...

Guess I don't hit Disneyland too much and being in Arizona, it's definitely closer to me than WDW. After WDW, Disneyland just seems so small and congested.

Take is from a WDW lover - Disneyland is incredible. I'm so happy we went during the 60th. It was a great trip. You've gotta try it out.

I wish I would've got to see it during the 60th. One day I'll get there.

GMR is an easy target for Disney imo. I do believe that at some point something else will replace it. It seems like Disney is not interested in paying royalties for outside properties anymore, especially when they have many IP's they could use instead.

Are those yellow floaties in the water acting as barriers? Are they permanent?
