The Five Biggest Needs at Walt Disney World
http://thedisneyblog.com/2010/07/05/the ... ney-world/

I agree with expanding Pixar Place (I mean, if and when the Monsters, Inc. attraction happens, that'll be good). Having a Star Wars land is interesting. On the one hand, I feel that especially with Star Tours and the Star Wars Weekends, this would be the non-Disney property that would make the most sense in WDW, but on the other hand, what about a land that is Disney... But we're getting the Fantasyland Expansion. I wouldn't mind a Star Wars land, but I wonder if that'd be the best option, and if George Lucas would go for it.

I think that as long as the animals wouldn't be disrupted by it, a nighttime show at DAK makes perfect sense. Or they could create Beastly Kingdom. Or both.

Is there still free admission on your birthday? We might be going for my birthday next year in April.

^ I'm pretty sure that that promotion ended last year; this year was the Give a Day, Get a Disney Day promotion.

Is Journey Into Narnia: Prince Caspian still there or has it been changed yet? I read somewhere that they were closing in May 2010. Any truth to that?

^ I was at DHS not too long ago, and I honestly don't remember if it was open or not, but it still has a page on WDW's website:

We won't be going to WDW until next May so I was wondering if it'll be changed by then.
