That dragon does look amazing, but I'm not a parade person either. I wish it was the flying dragon, though.

I thought this was pretty neat, today's 'Dream-along with Mickey' firework smoke seemed to mix with the mist and rain creating a really heavy fog, hiding the castle from view at the other end of mainstreet.

 

It was kind of creepy actually.

 

Tonight was crazy foggy! Visibility on World Drive was like 50 feet on my way home.

This is what visitors to Disneyland see everytime.

[jray21]

That's definitely a candidate for post of the year!

^^ If you photo shopped the pole out, then tinted the fog a bit purple...

 

The "Once Upon A Time" Curse strikes again!

[Nrthwnd]

Hmmm...

 

This thing about Disney "vs." Universal in what's opening etc.

has turned into a real "David & Goliath" for me.

 

And Disney will do just fine. And Universal will have finally

"caught up" with Disney, using their new technologies

AND that all important (Disney) theme of Total Environment, without

seeing the tech itself (i.e Potter Verse).

 

I think that really, after this year, things might reverse and then

all things Disney will be happening (Ratatouille WDS; Iron Man HKDL;

Shanghai Disneyland; New Tomorrowland [?] DL). For a few years or so.

 

And then Universal will start catching up again. Like Potter

in Hollywood, soon.

I think the difference between Universal and Disney in the next few years, is that we know everything Disney is building through 2017/18. With Universal, there are very reputable rumors for King Kong, Jurassic Park, WonderSea Island, and a 5th Hotel, that haven't and won't be announced until they are well under construction. Heck they've already started land clearing in separate areas in Jurassic Park for two areas themed to different IPs. Universal is not slowing down, and Disney is definitely not catching up in terms of new attractions.

 

Think about Avatar, they made the announcement in 2011, 6 years before its expected opening date. With Diagon Alley, they didn't make the official announcement until last fall, less than a year before opening.

The story mentions a contract? I thought this was something Disney came up with?

According to an update at the bottom of the article, Push is now gone.

[traincrossin]

Well that sucks. PUSH was one of the memories I remember from Disney when I was a kid and I loved that dumb talking trashcan. Bit weird that they would can him just like that.

[coasterfreak101]

Heh. Can him.

[SharkTums]

Perhaps something better is coming? He was a bit "80's". I never was as obsessed with him as a lot of the Disney fans are and KT never liked him at all!

[cfc]

Maybe they're going to replace him with Timmy the Trash Can: http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/wareview.php?id=1771&category=3.

[Wes]

The show was garbage anyway.

[traincrossin]

He was even running for mayor of Tomorrowland guys!

Here are some more details about Push leaving.

I agree. Disney can do much better with animatronic streetmosphere!

Walls around Seven Dwarfs have been taken down.

Nobody acknowledged this beautiful pun!

 

Also, while we're here, hold crap Seven Dwarfs (shouldn't it be Dwarves?) looks amazing.

[BotanicalStig]

No more Push? Too bad my children wont be able to experience the talking trashcan like I did as a kid. He will be missed

 

Seven dwarfs is looking great. I'm looking forward to getting back to Disney this spring.

[arby]

I've enjoyed all the puns. Unfortunately we didn't know about Push until after our trip so we never got to experience him. Oh well, it sounds like it was a waste of time but I certainly don't want to trash his existence.

 

Seven Dwarfs does look amazing! Since I'm not well traveled, perhaps someone more educated on the matter can answer. Is this the first time tilting train cars has been attempted on a coaster? I'm really looking forward to trying them out.

Well, don't the Arrow suspended coasters have swinging gondolas? But I think it is the first time they have been put on a sitting coaster. Hopefully they are smooth and fun.

Holy. Auto-correct, one letter off. Sincerest apologies.
