You forgot what is supposedly happening in Innoventions!
Jim says that because Star Wars Land is very, very behind schedule, actually behind the Pixar Place expansion, that Innoventions is going to temporarily (just like the hat) become a Star Wars museum for WDW.
So Frozen, Soarin, Star Wars, new nighttime show. That's Epcot for 2016.

Star Wars isn't behind schedule it just keeps getting pushed back.

Star Wars isn't behind schedule it just keeps getting pushed back.

Thank you. That was the wrong phrasing. I'll edit that.

Oh, how could I forget...another close one attraction but reopen something in it's spot. Again, no net gain...also, how does "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..." fit into FUTURE WORLD???

 

[Alice Royal]

Lol, typical Jim Hill...stuff. Disney won't put Star Wars anywhere outside of DHS as long as they have Star Tours. Innoventions will remain empty aside from special events, as far as I know.

Bummer....heading there in September and was hoping to counteract free dining plan with some workouts......
Guess I'm left with running in the heat!

A few shots, before my phone died from lack of charging [whoops]....

GREAT shots . So glad Walt and Micky are "out of the box" - and it looks like the Adverturland Veranda was hit by a bomb. Not that different from 4-2015.

Another look at DLP

[luisov]

I said it before, but DLP is the most beautiful Magic Kingdom out there. I'm really happy to see that there's quite a lot of stuff going on right now, but as the writer of the article mentions, it should have never reached that state in the first place. I'm sure quite a lot is going to be improved in the following years, and I hope they manage to increase their numbers with all these new additions. With other great parks like Europa-Park or Efteling getting more popular and bigger, DLP needs to improve their overall park experience and reach true Disney quality.

Gotta comment on this....

Check out the Edison in LA - in particular, it's menu . Sandy and I did this.... sadly, it appears (in LA) to pretty much be a sandwich shop . We really hope that the DTD location ups the game a bit..... but for now? Kinda looks like a looser .

My husband and I aren't looking forward to it for the food. we're more interested in the ambiance and the extra details. As far as I'm concerned, a quick mojito or decent mixed drink is all I need. There are plenty of decent restaurants already, but not a lot of fun clubs in the downtown Disney area.

Yeah ... I didn't see a lot of progress from where you can stand and snap photos. There could be more progress inside out of view. However, there doesn't seem to be much going on there. It's looked the same (to me) for a while now.
