That's what makes me dangerous! <<Leemac are you out there?>> When last I heard he was crowing about international First Class (which I sincerely hope TWDC is NOT footing the bill for -- and doubt since I know Legends and execs they put in coach) on the TDR Board. I meant to yank his chain about it and forgot ... wonder if he'll read this? Oh, and if Disney announces ANYTHING of substance about anything in June I'll be shocked.

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Maybe they will have previews/Open Houses for the new Hotel(Hiltons) and the new DVC's(Bay LAke and TreeHouses) and then announce Hawaii. But I agree they will desparately need something more for all the Crowds! WDW better be clearing ground pronto!

Originally Posted By Jmacmouse I am telling you its not a 5th park. I can't tell you how I know, but I do know what I am telling you. There is going to be expansion at the Magic Kingdom. What its going to be, the person who spoke of this couldn't say what exactly its going to be.
Originally Posted By magic0214 YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Expansion??? Hmmmm.... DOnald's Birthday Land perhaps? Anyway, now I am really excited, I will be thinking about this all the time, do we know what time the announcement will be?
Originally Posted By Disneyday I believe that the expansion is for Fantasyland. On another site, they told what imagineers revealed to them. They said that they are adding an Enchanted Forest area that will have stage shows, meet and greets, and birthday partys. They are also retheming the area behind the castle. They also mentioned that they are adding The Little Mermaid ride from DCA.
