Anyway, while things are going on behind the scenes, all of a sudden Jay 'what direction is the wind blowing and how can I save my ...?' Rasulo has started acknowledging the anniversary both privately and in memos and emails to the cast. It sort of makes one wonder just how rudderless Parks and Resorts are under a man who has no use for the product that has made him a very wealthy individual ... this is something that should have had planning done 18-36 months ago. Anyway, just an interesting point ... oh, and wandless merchandise is starting to show up all over Epcot too.

Could this be a sign of something?? or just celebrate with cast and give more dreams ears out to random people who get a FP for Soarin' or Test Track...
