Sorry, Lincoln I really enjoy, but the Hall of Presidents is just way too long and it doesn't hold my interest...especially when there are coasters outside that building!

I apologize if my comment was over the top negative, Kritter. No hard feelings?

Project Status: In development.
Open Date: Rumored to open in late 2009, but no later than Disneyland's 55th Anniversary in 2010.

[quote=MasterGracey;3455498]Updated a couple entries based on some new info I received. While I trust my sources, until we get an official from Disney, this is still being treated as rumor. Anyway, we all know how Disney likes to delay the Star Tours project again and again and how they have a love/hate relationship with keeping Mr. Lincoln around.

Star Tours 2

Details: Long-rumored, and long-delayed update of Star Tours attraction.
Project Status: Unknown.
Open Date: Previously said to open by 2010, but has been reportedly delayed until 2011.

I was at disneyland yesterday and asked a cast member about star tours II and they said it's still planned for 2010, if that is worth anything...

Depends who you asked, but likely it isn't worth much. In most cases, frontline CMs tend to know as much as we do. Thanks for posting though

Information is emerging about the upcoming replacement for Club Libby Lu in Downtown Disney. It's basically going to become a Disney-branded version of Libby Lu, but apparently it will be targeted towards a broader audience than the former Libby Lu and the upcoming Bibbity Bobbity Boutique in Disneyland.

Disney Studio 365 (Club Libby Lu replacement)

Details: Club Libby Lu will be converted into a similar Disney-branded offering, with "celebrity" makeovers available. Hair styling, make-up, and costumes and accessories will be some of the offerings at this boutique targeting a wider range of guests than the upcoming Bibbity Bobbity Boutique inside Disneyland Park.
Project Status: Casting opportunities for store operations CMs are already available. Conversion to begin ASAP.
Open Date: May 2009.

As far as I can tell, the graveyard behind Fort Wilderness may never come back, along with the Fort. It is currently a Cast Member break area, with Fantasmic folding chairs scattered around. Spotted our raft CM having a smoke back there when we peeked through the fence

Haunted Mansion enhancements

Details: Rumors have circulated about the return of the legendary Hat Box Ghost in the Haunted Mansion's attic for years, and recently Disney began dropping hints that the long-rumored return could happen for the attraction's 40th Anniversary in August 2009. Additional enhancements could include lighting, audio, and general show upgrades as well as possible show scene upgrades in the Portrait Gallery, Limbo (loading platform), further attic enhancements, and interactive Hitchhiking Ghosts.
Project Status: Possibly in progress during holiday overlay removal.
Open Date: Attraction re-opens February 14, following the removal of the Holiday overlay. It is unknown if the speculated attraction enhancements will debut at this time.

Small changes needed here, MG: I think it's safe to say that the speculated attraction enhancements have not debuted yet, and it remains to be seen if they will start appearing some time before or during the attraction's 40th anniversary this summer.

Also knowing the inner workings of the Opera House and connections at the archives and WDI i know what has been approved in a few of the meetings.
