My brother is law is a pilot for AA. And what @mgf said is correct. While you can be based out of a hub that does not mean you live there. Just that it’s the city your flight come out of. So you can live in Austin, or Oklahoma City and travel to DFW (your base) for flights. AA gives you free...

In Epcot today. Not much different than what we have seen. Workers were putting trim on windows. Got a shot through a small hold.

It should be noted in the discussion of Iger as CEO/Chairman of the board that he has only held both titles since 2012. My guess - no insider board knowledge - is that him becoming CEO/Chairman is part of the succession plan. The board loves Iger and if he could step into the Chairman role...

Also doesn't make it wrong.

The dual role of CEO/Chairman of the board isn't usually, but it's not uncommon. As a matter of fact Roy Disney was the Chairman/CEO! While Bob is the Chairman, he is not the only voice in the room.

I feel this has much more to do with ESPN than anything going on in Shanghai, MM+, or anything parks related. Despite our feelings about the parks, from a bottom line standpoint they are solid. Attendance is up, profits are up, and even with cost over runs in Shanghai the cuts in other parks...

I'm not a member of DVC, but our family has been looking into it and are interested in purchasing through resale. We went on a tour today at Boardwalk and the DVC salesmen mentioned that Disney was planning to roll out new restrictions in 2016 for DVC resales. This was to include only being...

Do you think they would retheme the ride to non-SW or move it after having upgraded it in '09?

Exactly. Think of all the things Disney themselves have announced as coming and then were never built.

I bet they love it. Forces people to go to two parks instead of one. More admission.

I completely agree. The walking can be a bear. But the resort is very well themed on the exterior and is enjoyable to walk. However sometimes in the mornings....

That's a lot of hotels for just two theme parks when land is at a premium. I know the water park is sure to add visitors, but I wonder if Universal has more coming we don't know about and this hotel is being built in anticipation?

The sad fact is that Disney will have to send lawyers to court to argue that this should be dismissed. What a waste! Of course I guess if your Disney your not worried about it.

Not a clone, but with discussion of Carland possibly coming to the studios and the issue with rain in FL - what are the possibilities of SS1 being used to house an indoor dark-ride style version of the ride? If the expansion of Pixar goes back towards former BLT that location may work.

I know Lassiter is not technically an inagineering employee. What has he worked on with Imagineering other than Carland?
