I know for a fact John Lasseter was amazed (and not in a good way) about how much internal politics and company dirty laundry was aired out on sites like this when the takeover happened. He just wasn't used to that up in Emeryville. Steve Jobs is also not the type to want to read about future projects all over the Internet. Not that that'll stop me. When people tell me I'm free to write things, I do. Right now, I'm sitting on one heck of a rumor for Florida that I pray comes true, but I've been asked not to release it because it would be easily traced back to the sources ... so I won't. <<Now I don't think Spirit needs me to defend him, but I've always found his inside knowledge to be excellent.>> OK ... there's one ... <<Spirit has always been the first one to predit what will happen at WDW... and for that track record, I respect him greatly and his words are to be trusted,>> And that's two ... c'mon anyone else? I've had a bad weekend and need the good vibes!

I knew it was a joke all the time ... so I am sorry if you wake up with a horse's head in your bed. Rest assured, I had nothing at all to do with that!

I mean, maybe there was plans to slowly phase out those rides and/or move them to the Pixar Park, but since they're all relatively new, I have to doubt it.

Originally Posted By bayrr326 I really appreciate Spirit's rumors and his take on the current state of WDW. It is nice to know there are other people like myself who while they love WDW we don't look at it with rose colored glasses. Well, as far as the new name goes I guess the new rumor thanks to "muckraker" Jim Hill is that Disney's Hollywood Studios is only a stopgap until they finish their makeover of the park and then just call it Disney's Hollywood. So the plot thickens.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss I'd drop Studios from the name, since it really isn't one, and call it Disney's Hollywoodland, which sounds like a theme park.

I bow before your munificence, oh Heartbeat of the Holy Year 1974! Please, oh great Spirit, shine down on us puny mortals and bring us good weather, strong crops, and frequent visits with the mouse! Good enough sucking up to cheer you up, buddy?
