This doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars, but with the expansion of the Toy Story track, and Iger is just unclear as to whether this little 'expansion' was the impetus behind the name change. The guy didn't even know if it's been announced yet, and when it is it will just be more reflective of the fact that DHS is moving away from being a "Studios" with the closing of a certain attraction, etc. . . . nothing to see here folks.>> You are a chuckle Mr. Pan... I'll give you that. They are going to change the name of the park because they are going to add an additional track to an existing ride? That is rich... really rich. Did you like my new name for DHS which would still use the letters DHS? No one got it but that is OK. No one ever gets what I see as funny. But that is OK with me. I enjoy it a lot. And I just sit and laugh, and laugh, and laugh...

What the heck are you talking about??? I read the Miceage Updates religiously. And have for over a decade. Not once have they ever said that Star Wars and Marvel would be in a Third Gate. I can't even remember Miceage mentioning plans for a Third Gate in the last decade ever. What Miceage has said in multiple updates over the last year is that WDI and TDA are mulling proposals to add Star Wars to Tomorrowland and/or unused land on the north side of Disneyland. And Marvel has been mentioned repeatedly by Miceage Updates as something currently in planning for the unused Timon parking lot south of Tower of Terror, specifically a Marvel themed roller coaster for that part of DCA. And what exactly were you expecting Iger to say at the meeting on Thursday? The two tiny bits of nothingness you mentioned only came about by random questions from the audience. And it appears Iger only stumbled into the DHS name change question by accident. What exactly was it that you expecting to be formally announced when you started this thread? Because nothing really was announced. Unless you were alluding to Frozen 2?

When will you admit to yourself that no one is buying your act? And no one, but no one, is buying Simba. (BTW, RT, I did get your acronym joke and got a nice chuckle out of it.)

The whole Toontown thing was pretty non-sensical, they might well move on to a third gate rumor as they don't like anything Iger has to say anyway!

" Almost everyone everywhere was speculating that Star Wars and Marvel should be saved for a third gate. That certainly doesn't equate to official doctrine by any particular web site.

Go find me a Miceage Update from the last 10 years (they are all still available online, found with a 10 second Google search) where a Miceage Update said Star Wars and Marvel will be going into a third Anaheim gate. You won't find that because they never said that. And again, I can't even remember a Miceage Update in the last decade that talks about a third gate concept at all. It hasn't been something Miceage Updates have discussed or considered. And what was it again you thought Iger was going to announce at the shareholders meeting that convinced you to start this thread??? Because Iger didn't announce anything.
