News Round Up 2016

disney outsouces construction but i have never heard of them outsourcing design. It's too risky to bring in an outside source then disney wouldnt hold the copyright on the attraction. There are also legal issues. but you tend to work on one project and see it through so if your project is done and they don't have anything else in the pipeline to bill your hours to, then time to go. also you nit the top pention level after 30 years or age 65 whichever it is so many of those top people were offered packages to go. The long term imagineers are well taken care of and they also get contracts to consult . both tohy and marty have them

Not all of the people let go were at retirement age or have worked for the company for 30 years. Unfortunately the majority of the people let go now have to find a new job to feed their family and keep a roof over their head. Tony Baxter is a consultant but I don't Think they use him like you think they do. If Tony had influence you wouldn't see something like frozen in Norway. The guy who did design frozen in Norway was mentored by Tony Baxter though. I don't think Marty has a consulting deal anymore, I'm pretty sure Marty just does D23 events and other promotional things for the company.

Let's keep the imagineer stuff to that thread.
 

@rteetz - not to get too OT, but this was my favorite review of Suicide Squad:

If you know someone you really can't stand - not someone you dislike, not someone who rubs you the wrong way, but someone you really loathe and detest - send that person a ticket for "Suicide Squad." - Mick LaSalle SAN Francisco Chronicler

:rotfl2:
 
"Suicide Squad" from Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, didn't just break the record -- it blew away the previous record-holder, "Guardians of the Galaxy," which opened to $94.3 million in 2014.

I don't care if this is a "controversial" opinion, but I absolutely loved the movie! In fact, I really want to see it in theaters again before it goes away. We've been extremely stressed with cleaning our entire house, because we have an appraiser coming over on August 9th. So it was so nice to take a break from everything and see a movie, and I've been waiting for SS all year, so I don't really care if other people didn't like it. Little rant over.

Here's the sneak peek for Walt Disney Animation Studios Moana that premiered today during the Olympics coverage on NBC. Note that this is a TV spot made exclusively for the Olympics, which probably means that there's still a 2 minute long final trailer coming in the near future.

Bless you!
 
Interesting thanks! I don't believe all of the POR stops have them unless that's changed since I've been there.

We were just there in June. We were at the last stop and we had them plus the main one did. I am pretty sure I saw them at the other 2 as well.
