I will try to link it if I can get it figured out, but just read the notes and save your time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Isn't this guy the one that reports things that rarely happen?Although the Frozen sing-a-long in Idol is consistent with what a CM told me. Maybe he got that part from ff.net! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Woof! That's a whole lotta stuff. Thanks for taking one for team and summarizing, Aaron! Yes, Jim Hill has "reported" on a bunch of stuff in the past that never amounted to anything. That said, a lot of this would make sense and we do know that Iger announced last week that a Star Wars themed land was coming to *A* park. I guess time will tell...

FunFinder265....Cody 36 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Definitely fun to speculate about all of this, as a good portion does "make sense". We shall see.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The key to a site that thrives on rumors is to make up as many as you can, so that you later can claim that you accurately predicted something, while ignoring all the things you were wrong about.There's no doubt that at some point, Disney will be trying to milk more money out of the Star Wars franchise. So, it's hardly a bold prediction to say that Star Wars stuff will be added to a park.A Dumbo style spinner? Why not?Some expanded themed area? Sure.More DVC rooms? Wow- who saw that coming?This is much ado about nothing.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Even stuff that's released officially doesn't always happen. Remember Eisner 10 year plan. Only about half happened. New Fantasy land drastically changed midstream Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Jim Hill is slightly less reliable than a CM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caveat lector 181 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Disney will be very aggressive monetizing the SW brand. There's a lot of money still sitting on the table Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Santa ... Shannon 160 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah, and the long awaited Mulan Mongolian horde ride will finally debut at China in Epcot, and the Aladdin Magic Carpet coaster will follow roughly 2 years later in Morroco. arthuruscg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Rumors, rumors. I like some if not most of the rumors. But my question is what is the dinner at the Wizard of Oz all about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like some if not most of the rumors.But my question is what is the dinner at the Wizard of Oz all about?They usually host an expensive Tables in Wonderland dinner inside the Great Movie Ride once or twice a year. They move all the cars out of the way, and you have drinks and appetizers in one room, the main course in another room, and I think dessert and after dinner drinks in the Wizard of Oz room.
