Good job Ryan - I really like these as a good touch point for rumors that shift a lot ... sometimes hard to remember what the latest position is

Thanks! I like to do this to have one place for all major rumors and then it also looks back on rumors that came true or didn't.

Rumor

The California film might make a return to Soarin in DCA

Rumor

The California film might make a return to Soarin in DCA

I haven't seen the new film yet, but as soon as they announced it I assumed it would be a good idea to eventually rotate or randomize experiences.

I'm not sure if this would be rotation or permanent but it kind of makes sense to have the California film still running in DCA.

Would be cool if they did one theater as the World and one as CA - but do agree it makes sense to have the CA one in the CA park

Still think it would be awesome if they filmed a few more locations and then randomized it like Star Tours

Wish they would do that with Mickey's Philharmagic too.

Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher has passed away after suffering a major heart attack on a plane. She was 60 years old....

Well I certainly won't like this post.

I was pretty sure it was coming. Believe I read she was dead for 15 minutes on the plane before they brought a pulse back. Not many come back from that. Sigh At least no one can say she didn't live her life.

Agreed. Maybe things that aren't exactly tall buildings or pillars!

I'm not usually very affected by celebrity deaths. But this one hurts.

I echo this ... I think it makes that be partly due to now re-living seeing Star Wars for the first time through my kids eyes

I think it's the fact it says "Rey Skywalker". I am sure it is fake. Disney isn't going to make that mistake - even if that it is true.

Edit: If you go to the Disney website it just says "Rey". I am 100% certain this is fake.

Thanks. I didn't even notice Skywalker. I was surprised it wasn't 59.95, so thought the price was the issue. That makes sense. Thanks again for answering.

Hey Ryan: when you asked for input on any changes, I think dedicating a posting in the front of the thread where you can add these monthly round ups might be helpful. It would be like the chapters in the beginnings of TR's. That way we can find the round ups easier than searching through page by page.

Yeah, but maybe it will be in the design of a Labatt's bottle cap or a hockey puck!
