Nope regular bus.

oh ok, thanks - yeah, they really are working on that area since I was there. I was wondering what they were going to do to block the building - so good information, thanks!

By "northern" I meant areas where it snows. It's a bit of an inexact term. But, I grew up in Southern California and currently live in Fort Lauderdale, so almost everything is north to me.

I totally get that and I've heard that before. I probably would be saying stuff like that if I lived in FL, GA, MS, etc

That said, I lived in Minnesota for 11 years. I fully understand the frustration that snow adds to life!

Ugh don't know how you did it...my husband has some relatives up there in MN and boy can it get snowy and cold there.

Animal Kingdom, avatar show building.

Perhaps a silly question but are there going to be like some sort of design on the building to hide the plainness of it a little bit like how Haunted Mansion? Or is the berm you spoke about supposed to hide it all from guest's view?

Just the berm will try to hide it. The berm they are working on will have trees planted on it before it's finished.

Ok thanks. I'm just hoping I won't be jilted out of this immersive land I'm supposed to be in if I saw the actual building moreso because of how big it looks to me at least. I'm usually impressed with how Disney can blend things (IMHO) especially love how HM looks from the outside from the point of the guest and then you see the aerial view on Google and see that it's a normal building from the top.

Berm, plus some quick growing bamboo I bet, to complete the look. That's my bet.

I'll just say the floating mountains look incredible and I can't wait to experience the place.

Completely agree there. Every photo I have seen of those floating mountains I've been impressed with it and only makes me that much more excited.

A petition is going around asking Bob Iger to make Princess Leia an official Disney Princess.

First read this article: http://www.businessinsider.com/carrie-fisher-princess-leia-official-disney-princess-2017-1

I recently came across a petition with fans asking for Carrie Fisher's character, Princess Leia, to become an official Disney Princess. The petition also asks for Disney to change the rules. That is because there is a rule that a Disney Princess must not be acted by a "real" person. The Princess must be animated.

What does everyone think about this subject? Should Princess Leia become an official Disney Princess?

Forgot to mention that I saw the new baby elephant on the safari today. They had the elephant portion fenced off likely to get her used to the surroundings.

Plot of Frozen 2 - Anna and Elsa find out about a brother they never thought they had from the trolls. They then travel the high seas in search of their long lost brother, Tarzan. Will they find him?

they'll live-action all the disney princesses before too long. and Leia has been animated in the past.

I say go for it.

That is the back of the building that is only visible now from the parking lot - so the berm is just to hide it from view from outside of the park ... you won't see any of the building while inside the land - it's all cthat breed with rock work
