Danny Elfman Answers Questions at "Dumbo" Press Conference

And a few years ago, some thought SeaWorld Orlando was dead. They keep soldiering on.

I hope SeaWorld can continue to soldier on. We did a long weekend trip there in November and it was awesome! We spent 2 full days at the parks and enjoyed every minute of it! They mix the animals and rides together very well IMO This new Sesame Street area looks great, I'm just sad that around the time we go back, my girls will probably be 8 and 12 and may not be that interested in Sesame Street.

The sprawling nature of the park really makes it look like all that space circled in is a good spot for a new land. I know that's all backstage buildings and such, but boy does it trick the eye.

Addition to Toy Story land, perhaps?

It would take a lot of work to move and change that area. Right next to TSL you have a cast parking garage. Then around that you have all the old studio buildings now used for various other things. While yes they could move all of that I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

In the future I could see them relocating some of the service areas across world drive and creating some sort of bridge to connect it to the park. Of course this is just a blue sky dream, and I have no idea the logistics that would need to go into that

Beauty and the Beast themed bar to replace Mizner's Lounge at Grand Floridian

http://blogmickey.com/2019/03/beaut...to-replace-mizners-lounge-at-grand-floridian/

The plans call for three rooms when the retheme is completed:

- The current Mizner’s Lounge area will be themed to the library from Beast’s Castle and will have tables and sofas as a seating area.

- Commander Porter’s mens clothing shop will transform into the ballroom and feature the main bar, which is said to be a u-shaped bar.

- Finally, the hallway outside of the patio will be themed to “the woods”.

There are no TS restaurants at this time, and none have been announced.

There are no table service restaurants in Galaxy's Edge, quick service only (this is a change from initial plans)

Thanks. Of course I found the dining thread AFTER I posted the question. But thanks for responding.

Ok, now I am totally thinking about which characters would be which type of drunk - whose the angry drunk vs the lovey-dovy drunk, etc.
