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!

The Illuminations show isn't changing, i heard rumors that they will put it on selected nights (instead every night), that they will change it if the economy gets better.

Heh..that's a good one. Disneys attendance of the parks is 35% full, they are losing so much money right now their basicly begging you to go. Right now they have the lowest rates I have seen in years and you can even negotiate with them to make the price go lower. The economy is affecting everyone. Imagineers aren't the mods trustworthy considering Disney changes their mind all the time about what they are going to do.

It's finished, I got a thing through the mail from Disney saying that it was finished and talked about it a bit. Unless Disney got pictures of it being finished before it was finished.

The BLT is not yet complete. We're looking at a late 2009 opening.
Scaffolding started coming down this week so much of the exterior facade work is compete.


As for IllumiNations being changed, yes there are plans to replace it however, nothing is final. Don Dorsey should be working on the new show as well since it is listed on his website.

Space Mountain should go down for quite some time beginning in April, unless Phil Holmes says otherwise... He already scared ops in to thinking that closing Space for 14 months would cause a drop in attendance. The budget for a complete gutting and rebuilding of the track, including new load/unload, post show, new trains with on-board audio and effect upgrades was earmarked. But Mr. Holmes got it cut down to nothing more than a cleaning.

Oh, sorry my mistake Disney confuses me alot. Anyways, they really need to redo space mountain. The last time I went on it my brother who is 6'2" could barely fit in the little cars and the guy in front of me who was way taller than that could barely get the safety bar down. They need to make it more friendly towards taller people.

Bay Lake Tower (that's what it's called) isn't finished yet. Whoever got something in the mail about it, the picture was probably something that people who build buildings make so that they know what it's going to look like.

Yeah, I got a thing in the mail about that too. They're just trying to get you a picture of BLT so you would want to go when it opens in Fall. You can see what it is planned to look like online.
