Well yeah, I know its not a "refurb" being considered. Just pointing out that I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up getting cut to just enhancements that have an easily measurable ROI for Operations and Entertainment like the last refurb was cut down to just what was absolutely visually necessary to keep the show limping along. If its getting pushed from California, I'd expect it to be a complete rework, but if it's coming from TDO...I'd expect little more than expanded seating, maybe new projectors and some scenes from newer movies.
Fantasmic!

Normally, I'd agree, but this would possibly be a chance to get rid of foamheads which is a huge labor cost.
Yup. And you very well could be right.
WDW does want to update their Fantasmic. That much is certain.
I hadn't thought of that...an entirely water-screen dependent show. It is obviously very popular with World of Color, and the new CineSpec at Universal seems to be doing well. But I'm not sure I see them spending the money to do it properly, unless the extra 1k+ seats would get it to that tipping point.
Fantasmic, IMO, is exciting enough, if it's a legit reboot. Show has been floundering in its current state for far too long.
I have my source trying to pin down other stuff. He mentioned something, but wasn't sure of its legitimacy.
Nobody effing knows.
This is some cloak and dagger stuff. Only legit media seemed to have been invited. No bloggers.
My bet is yours on this. This is my best source, but even he admitted the media event has taken him by surprise.
Wait...sounds like something may have already happened, but it is being held until later tonight...this is getting odd...
This is where I wish I had more solid info/sources for things other than Operations. I'm pretty much in the dark on this apart from some educated guesses

I'm just messing with you Skip, you know as well as I do sources can be dead on or WAY off at any given time.
Tonight may be a good night to go to DHS and get free Glow with the Show Ears....if that's what's happening.
It's such a good feeling to click on a new WDW thread here that isn't pure speculation or a chronicle of the downfalls of the resort. Please let this be the start of something big ray:
