Originally Posted By planodisney Well, we all knew he wasnt going anywhere at the present time, as all reports stated that Al would be staying on as WDW president for the time being. So that info. doesnt realy change anything. Quimet could still be leaving the DLR when Al leaves and that wouldnt contradict any of that info. Darkbeer. Unless I am mid-understanding your info.
Originally Posted By bean hate to say i told you so. But i guess the sure those inside informants jumped the gun when interpreting something that was just spread around as rumors. I had menioned that Matt was offered the job but was happy to be here in anaheim. he has many plans in the future for this resort.

The MAGIC KINGDOM® Park occupies 107 acres, Epcot® covers 300 acres, the Disney-MGM Studios is 154 acres, and DISNEY'S ANIMAL KINGDOM® Theme Park spans more than 500 acres. There are approximately 7,600 acres developed." now i have to check, the size of WDw property has change several times but did not realize that it had decreased by 7 acres. Could have been for road improvements in conjunction with the government

I'm assuming this is a lift from another park. Hmm... what recent addition to a studio-themed park or land could be easily cloned for MGM? Let me guess. Monsters, Inc?
