I heard StormStruck (New Innoventions attraction) might be doing Soft Openings next week.

For those of you who don't know what Storm Struck is... it is a Hurricane Simulator Show/Ride. Disney's version of Twister at universal.

I don't think the Floridians will be taking StormStruck to kindly...

Storm Struck would be ironic. Especially if you choose to ride it during one of the 3 showers per day.

Time for another round of updates...

- The Hall of Presidents is going down for refurbishment January 1st, though it may go down before that. It will remain under refurbishment until after February. One would assume it would be to add new president (*crosses fingers*JohnMcCainJohnMcCainJohnMcCainJohnMcCain) but there may be a little more than just that.

- DisneyQuest tickets just went up to $40. Park ticket prices are now at $74 for adults.

- About that Fantasyland rumor I posted a little while ago, here are some other highlights: A Beauty in the Beast dark ride, possibly the Little Mermaid ride from DCA, and a Pixie Hollow area. There may be a Tinkerbell meet and greet going up over at the former Skyway station (stroller parking).

- Though it hasn't been around for a couple years, one of the parks may be host to a press event that unveils new projects for said Resort. One of the parades is being cancelled at the Magic Kingdom for a night, so one may hope. (I apologize for the vagueness, this is coming from memory.)

This is truly historic. The first African-American president theme park attraction.

hmm.. I need to start listening to my dad's podcasts somemore to find more news out.
Allow me to help in some ways for some updates since I go to WDW quite often:

1). the dinosaur restaurant in downtown disney is call T-Rex Cafe, which is similar to rainforest cafe, but is dino-themed, has volcanic eruptions, and intereactive computer games to play with, plus their own Buid-A-Dino area (like Build-A-Bear)

2). In 2009 sometime, the Dreams Come True parade will be replaced by the Parade of Dreams appearently.

3). a new version of Illuminations should be coming soon this year.

Aloha for now!

Thank you for posting this! I will have to try out the Google Earth program soon. I have never been to Walt Disney World, so this will give me an idea of what it really looks like!
