Interesting article on Disney in China - they "parted ways" with Meng Dekai because he was making fraudulent business deals on Disney's behalf.

I didn't intend to come off all anti boneyard. It's a cool place, and definitely is worth stopping in. However my limit is about 30 minutes before I feel like we are not using our time wisely. Hell, I'd love one in world showcase where you could enjoy a nice cool drink while your kid blows off some steam. An adults lounge overlooking the boneyard might be kind of neat.
The truth is my son when he was 4 would have spent hours in there if I let him, and that's just too much, when others in your group might prefer to spend their time elsewhere. I'm guessing the sweet spot is around 3-6 years old in there.

This is a fabulous idea!

Disney, and so many other countries, are going to regret investing so heavily in China over the last decade - for many reasons.

I like Will a lot, but plenty of shine has come off his star of late. The smartest move he's made in the last 10 years has been getting out of the Independence Day sequel.

Samrt move by Disney. Will Smith is just a shade of his former self and wont make a difference in the movie earnings.

Random somewhat related question - any thoughts if they will have a Starbucks "you are here" mug for Pandora?

That might be the one. This is the first I have heard of the change.

Likely not considering there won't be a Starbucks inside Pandora.

My thoughts exactly! His movies have not been performing like they used to in the box office.
