Hey, at least it's a gift that keeps on giving. No time pressure to pick it up!

While it would be nice I highly doubt I'll ever get out there. I have yet to get to Anaheim.

Walt Disney World Bus Wait Times Test Occurring Now; Guests Will Know When Their Bus is Coming

All I can say here is "About time!" I really think knowing how long the wait is will generally for me make it feel much more acceptable. Even if you know it's "More than 10 minutes" it allows you to run back to the room to get something if time allows, or to call the wife and tell her to get out of the gift shop. Love it!

If only we got an attraction like that state side

Radiator Springs Racers is quite impressive, but the US is still missing one true dark ride that is similar to the ones that are being designed for the other parks around the world.

I'm actually excited about the boat ride at Avatarland though... I think it has a lot of potential.

Three permits were filed today in regards of the Land pavilion. Electrical work, restroom rehab, and trailer installation. This is most likely for the third Soarin theater already in progress they expire in 2017.

WDWNT is reporting echo lake could have walls up in March

wow, thats quite soon indeed but i guess if its going to happen then may may as well crack on with it.

Hollywood Studios is probably one of my favourite parks but while all this work is going on, i just think it will be best to save my money and go when most of the work is done although we're looking maybe 3 years away

Hmmm, a bit of confusion in that rumor. The article states in part, "Similar rumblings have also claimed the adjacent Superstar Television Theater and ABC Sound Studio could be the next items to go come Summer 2015." But then another site says "the Walt Disney World Resort announced internally that the vacant Superstar Television Theater (a large entertainment venue located at Disney's Hollywood Studios that housed The American Idol Experience) is currently a construction zone, and work on a new experience officially begun.
The latest rumors state that this may become the new location for the popular"For the First Time Forever": A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration show." http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2015/01/construction-begins-at-superstar.html

So, wonder what it is?

Correct American idol theater is supposed to get the frozen sing a long. Know one but Disney knows for sure many currently say a Star Wars expansion will probably not even start until at least end of the year or next year.
