Well, here it is again! Sorry for the delay, but things have been crazy here lately! (Which also explains why no Bloggie Awards this past week either.)
Also, I'm going to make a change that I think will benefit all. I am going to try to group items based on the park that they are located in. (Don't know why it took me so long to do it in the first place!)
So, with that being said, I've got a nice big update for you all! So let's get to it!
News and Rumors are gathered from various different websites. All rumors are rumors and are to be taken as such.

Rumors
- A new droid may have been revealed that will be used in the new Start Tours. The new droid will be called Aly San San.
- A new DVC resort may be built over by Ft. Wilderness and the Wilderness Lodge. This new resort would result in the removal of River Country for good. Also the Tri Circle D Ranch may be affected as well.
- Some changes may be coming to Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade. New characters may potentially be added.
- It's been rumored that Kilimanjaro Safaris may be going down for an extensive refurb in either January or February. If it does, expect the storyline to change yet again. Possibly removing any storyline completely.
- If posters on the refurb walls are to be a clue as to what is being included in the newly refurbished One Man's Dream, a preview area of upcoming attractions may be included.
- Phineas and Ferb may finally be getting a meet and greet. The popular Disney Channel cartoon stars may be coming to the Streets of America, with the former Power Rangers car refurbed for them.
- Some refurb walls have popped up in the area of the Tomorrowland Speedway that are the same as the ones that are being used for the Fantasyland expansion. Some wonder if it might mean the track may be rerouted...while others wonder if it just means they needed to do some work underground in preparation for the Fantasyland expansion.
- The next WDW "celebration" campaign will have something to do with Memories. This is expected to be announced Sept. 22nd.
- Winnie the Pooh will not have Fastpass available from mid-September until it reopens from it's refurb.
