News Round Up 2017

Pretty sure that the main rumor wasn't around 9/11...though I admit I was not into the Disney thing at that point. The real traction was during the 2007-2009 timeframe, and even then it was never really more than a blue-sky rumor. It's one of those things where "insiders" said it was happening and then the same "insiders" said it wasn't happening. Disney never publically made any mention of it, so you can't really ever state categorically what "killed" it since it was never really alive. Not the way things like "Hyperion Wharf" or the other half of Pop Century, which actually were announced/started construction and then killed, or even Pixie Hollow in New Fantasyland, which was part of the original announcement before they decided they needed a bigger ride in the whole concept. (While Toy Story and Star Wars lands are pretty certain, things like Ratatouille and the Tron Coaster are still in that ambiguous phase where they could still easily change their mind and not do them.)

Anyways, Night Kingdom was nothing more than Blue Sky and in most iterations it had nothing to do with villians/dark side of Disney.
 




this might be a silly question but is there like a list of all the characters who were out yesterday? I should have just checked my app!

I know some villains including maleficent met in the sunset Showcase building in DHS. Mushu and Mulan met in Epcot. Snow White and Dopey in MK. Timon was out. Genie and Jasmine, Meeko and Pocahontas, Hook and Pan.

It's not even those. Wall mounted larger bottles have apparently been popping up.

To be honest this is kind of better. I always feel like the small bottles barely give me any shampoo and basically 1/2 of the conditioner I need for my long hair. I would not be surprised if they break even on this change. They might be buying in bulk now, but this will make people use more product.

Based on information in New Fantasyland WDW - Martins Ultimate Tribute - Part One of Two (around the 1 minute mark), after 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea closed in 1994 there was a plan to put a Villains Mountain on the 5 acres of land that 20k took up.

It was never built, but I can imagine the thought process might have been similar to what happened with MGM. The idea of MGM was actually a pavilion for Future World in EPCOT. Eisner liked the idea so much that they decided to make it it's own park (and y'know, to compete with that whole Universal Studios thing down the street).

Here's a graphical representation of the eclipse at the maximum point. Only 13% of the sun will be uncovered. Personally, it seems like common sense to close trails that are always closed at night during an eclipse of this nature. No lawyers needed here.

The site where I got that graphic also has an animation showing how the eclipse will happen. (You can enter your own city to see what will happen locally, too.)

It just doesn't seem like that's very dark. I would think it will be no darker or even as dark as when the sky is covered with really dark storm clouds. Should have no problems seeing.
