I know the BoD has met at various destinations over time, including Burbank and NYC among others. I can also tell you that BoD meetings at WDW are not unheard of, but they most definitely aren't regular. I can tell you that four day meetings in the middle of the summer at WDW under the tightest security are NOT at all normal. But I'm sure they were all going over plans for a new MK parade! ~GFC~

I hear Monica Lozano got to work on fixing a few Dinosaur AAs and Judy Estrin was spotted with a paintbrush on Main Street. ~GFC~

Simply ask for proof ...? I'm sure he has produced a shot of Iger and Colglazier at DAK by now, right? ;-) <<~GFC~ (Happy now, Spirit?)>> The Spirit will be happy when he packs a suitcase with a large supply of fanboi tears and heads for the mountains. Until then, not so much ... although it has been an 'interesting' day! Oh, and for anyone who has asked (or wondered) I have been in contact with my chief minion of darkness (AKA MPierce) and he has been busy and hopes to return to the LP Pond shortly. ... The sordid truth is he has been hanging with Charlie Sheen! WINNING!!! ~GFC~

It would be worth it just to see VBDad come on here, foaming at the mouth and spinning in apolplectic rage like the beheaded Ian Holm in "Alien" as they close down his beloved DVC. I think a few people would pull up chairs, break out the popcorn and just sit back and enjoy the show! Oh but wait, WDW would STILL be AWESOME........right?

Originally Posted By ChiMike Additional trailers for WDI could mean anything, as you point out possibly for GF DVC, or it could mean that they are ready to work on a new attraction. The location wouldn't have that much to do with the reason for them.

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub What about the construction for the Old River Country area that was announced? Has that construction started? So many rumors with no official announcements I get confused. Hate to think of halt to any ground movement due to economy. We have an area that completely destroyed a mall and lots of bulldozers and then soil moving around and then a chain link fence and then nothing. I guess the city didn't keep up payments for that chain link fence cause they were mysteriously ripped up and now we have those concrete barricades around wild overgrown grass for over a year...anyway rumors are making me nervous in this economy. What about you?
