Massive renovation planned for Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland

Video of the announcement

$7 billion for Pixar actually.

Double Dumbo sounds good to me...especially as a parent of a kid who can't hold still in a line for more than 15 minutes. I wish they had the space to do that at Disneyland.

And hey, if your little girls ain't into dressing up as princesses, it ain't for them. But some little girls enjoy that stuff. It's called fantasy for a reason and it isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as the parent isn't teaching them that this stuff is for real.

So lets see the Disney rundown in the last few years of some major capital projects.

$4 Billion for Marvel
$1 Billion overhaul of Disney CA
$1 Billion for overhaul of Disney World (HS/MK)
$1+ Billion per new cruise ship (x2)
$4.7 Million for port enhancements for 2 new ships

I would say Disney is doing quite well.

Ya, know, now is the time to pull the trigger on some of this. Yeah, the economy sucks and sales are down right now, but they are positioning themselves to be ready for an eventual improvement in the economy, so while others are just ramping up projects when the economy improves, they will be in position to take advantage of it.

I wonder what jim Cramer would have to say about that?

Who cares? He's an idiot and a moron anyway.

Hahahahahaha! +1 Mike

Now absolutely is a great time to invest in developing the market you serve. With Disney's lead time to new attractions, now is absolutely the right time to start. If things turn around the way economists expect (or hope), this stuff will open when people are eager to get out there and spend money on vacations.
