Permits Filed for New Epcot Nighttime Spectacular Infrastructure

https://wdwnt.com/2018/07/permits-filed-for-new-epcot-nighttime-spectacular-infrastructure/
I think the DIS posted an article last week saying they found something that suggested work to be done in the lagoon, but nothing as specific as this. I think WDWNT is playing it safe with the new show before 2021 though. As other people have said, this show can debut as early as this year and next year. There's another reason why I think that this might be true, but I really can't say it because I don't have it confirmed (and probably couldn't say it anyways due to the person giving me the info is a CM). I'll just say that Illuminations can really be going sooner rather than later.

So, in my loudest Luke Skywalker impression... "NO!!!!!!"

This is a permit for work. The DIS article was about the approval from RCID for $1.8 million worth of work to be done on the lagoon. The two are related but different pieces of information. And yes Illuminations will be going away sooner rather than later ;)

Letter from fans and cast regarding the James Gunn situation...

I also posted the actual letter in the separate thread about Guardians if people don't use da twitter or something

Definitely interesting situation. I don't see Disney bringing him back but hopefully the next time something similar comes up it might be seen as ok to not react so fast. Seems like companies are bashed if they don't act fast when things like this come up and praised when they do - but sometimes it is ok to take at least a bit of time to investigate and let things settle a bit. I mean, in this case would there really be a difference if Disney did some digging and then fired him a week later? Was anything really better that they did it so fast?
