Good. I need Star Wars land completed by 2020. Celebrating turning 40 at WDW in 2020 sounds like a plan.

Well it should definitely be done by then.

I'm always amazed by Disney's R&D unit in Zurich. They always develop the most amazing things. The thing is, do they ever use these technological developments in their actual products? I'm still not sure whether these labs are just sponsored by Disney in a CalArts kind of way or if they actually work to develop stuff for WDC.

Really cool stuff.

Hearing walls go up in DHS January 4th.

Just wondering, what you mean by Hearing walls? I've never heard that type of reference before.

 

[adam.adbe]

I'm guessing that's just terse English. I read it as "I'm hearing that walls go up in DHS January 4th."

 

[Planogirl]

Let's see if walls go up then it's likely for Toy Story. But if it's for that other IP - cool.

Construction walls...

It used to be an annual sort of thing...
...but then the "Disney decade" ended and the "accountants score" began

It should be for both...to be honest

The rumored name change comes sooner than later... Disney Walls-of-Wood Studios.

Sorry.

Not sorry.

I actually heard they're keeping the DHS abbreviation.

It's Disney's Hole-lotta Scrims

(Spelling is creative license)

Sorry.

Not sorry.

It would be more creative if they called it wallyworld and put the moose out front...

And by "creative"...I mean a JJ Abrams script when he "does a standalone, non reboot"
