I am sure it is just for more water conservation and offset other land they want to use .... but also find it interesting it looks to be near a Sunrail station

Definitely curious about all this...that is a pretty sizable amount of land, including the previous purchase.

Any word on the state of repairs for Maleficent the float? Is she expected to return to MK in the near future?

John Lasseter has a new job!

I happy that he found a new place to express his creativity. Not sure how long his critics can hold on to their anger. I don't even pretend to understand the details. But, he seems sincere in his remorse. I wish him well.

This is not a surprise at all. Seeing as this is a new start up - it's hard to say if there's a negative impact to his presence. Reading the article one of their two movies is directed by a women. Hope she doesn't get packed off - then we should be worried about the guy.

Alicia Stella from Theme Park Stop has been talking about this Jurassic Park coaster for quite some time now. She seems to have really good Universal sources and recently she’s been on the money with a lot of rumors. I started following her a few months ago and she’s definitely worth a follow and listen on twitter and YouTube for Universal Rumors.

She started a Disney/Universal rumors podcast late last year called Park Stop Podcast. I think it's monthly. She also shows up on the Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast sometimes and contributes to their page. I like her approach to the rumors a lot. She seems to do a lot of research too.

Disney buys more land

https://wdwnt.news/19010903

Does the proximity to the Sun Rail line have anything to do with it?

I really think I need that silicone popsicle mold.


Good luck with the marathon, Ryan. My 27 yo son ran his way through college and to this day has only run one race since. I'm sure the weather there is better than here. We're supposed to get snow friday night here in mid-America.

Clearly Skydance Media has never heard of negligent hiring

Please help to educate me. If Disney wants to build additional things within it's existing property, they need to do water conservation elsewhere? Just trying to understand how all of this works. Thanks for your help!

Historically(or should that be as of late with modern conservation?) Disney can develop 25-35% the amount of acreage that they put in a conservation offset. Combined with last month's purchase that is close to 1900 acres which would allow 250-600 acres to be developed on property.
