Rumors
- It's been rumored that Tomorrowland might be getting an extensive refurb, themed around the movie Wall-E. This new refurb would help to create a cohesive feel to the area, with the TTA, Space Mountain, and Carousel of Progress remaining relatively untouched, but incorporating the new theme. Stitch's Great Escape would be going bye bye (Stitch is rumored to be going to the Tiki Room) and the Laugh Floor might go with it. Buzz Lightyear and Astro Orbiter would get extensive refurbs as well. Rumors are swirling that this could all take effect as early as 2012.
- While Stitch is being rumored to take over the Tiki Room, there are also rumors going around that the original Tropical Serenade show will be returning in time for WDW's 40 year anniversary. This won't be the only attractions enhanced to it's original glory. Rumored updates include Space Mountain, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, The Hall of Presidents, and the Enchanted Tiki Room at the Magic Kingdom; Journey Into Imagination and Illuminations at Epcot; and The Great Movie Ride and Star Tours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
