(via disneyreport.com)
Downtown Disney News - (2/27/10) Screamscape was sent an interesting rumor about a possible new attraction under consideration for Downtown Disney. From the sounds of things these plans are a long ways off from being given the green light, but Disney is apparently looking into the possibility of putting on some kind of show at night on the water behind West Side and Pleasure Island. Depending on where they put it, the view of the water here may be a limited, unless they opt to demolish a few of the waterside structures in Pleasure Island. I’ve also got to think that the huge Characters in Flight Balloon may very well cause a visual problem as well. As for the show itself… look for the usual suspects of water screens, fire, lights and more, in sync with music.

Short lived tip. Just prior to closing the store in Toontown has all the charaters come out into the store for a quick goodnight with the guests in the store. Night we were there they played music and the characters were dancing around with the kids. It was a great deal of fun. Wonder how much longer it may go on? Hope similar surprise is available in the redesigned fantasy land.
