Rumors
- It's being rumored that the Magical Fireworks Voyage will be open to all guests starting next year.
- The Hall of Presidents will be closing in November to update for when the new President is elected. However, adding a new President isn't the only thing rumored to be happening. The show will be closed until July 2009, which, many are speculating, is an awfully long time to only add a new President AA. It's also been rumored, this new President wouldn't have a speaking part, he would simply just be added to the line up and that the Abraham Lincoln AA would have his script extended. The changes, are however, still a mystery.
- It's been rumored that the Wilderness Lodge Villa's refurbs will be starting in 2 weeks.
- Coronado Springs will begin their refurb in September.
- Rumors are now swirling that when Space Mountain goes down for it's refurb (rumored to be starting in January) that the TTA will be going down with it.
- It's now being rumored that the reason the Oct. 3 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party may be closing is due to Miley Cyrus' 16th Birthday Party. Recent rumors were saying it might be due to a press event. Guess we'll see Oct. 3?
