Hollywood Studio Backlot Bulldozed…?

These are just rumors there is nothing concrete just hearsay.

A few days ago, WDW Daily News reported on an interesting refurbishment that was announced for both the Studio Backlot Tour and the Studio Catering Co. at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, scheduled to take place between February 15, 2010 and March 28, 2010. A few days later, it was announced that the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure would be closed for refurbishment during that same period. Rumors are now circulating that these closures are for more than routine maintenance, they may indeed be permanent closures. These rumors go back to a few previous reports we had made about possible changes to the Hollywood Studios backlot area (Which can be read HERE and HERE), including rumors of a Monsters Inc. themed roller-coaster going into the vacant Soundstage 1, a smaller version of Radiator Springs Racers replacing the Backlot Studio Tour, the Backlot Catering Co. becoming a Monsters Inc. or Ratatouille themed eatery, and the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure would being re-themed to “A Bug’s Life”.

Again, this is simply a rumor at this time, but if true, these locations will permanently close on February 15th and will not return on March 29th as Disney is stating. Since this is all rumor at this point, we don’t know when any phases of the changes would be completed or if Disney will simply let the locations sit and wait for work to near completion on the huge Fantasyland expansion at the Magic Kingdom. It is very hard to believe that Disney would conduct huge expansions of both the Studio Backlot at Hollywood Studios and Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom simultaneously, but it is also very strange to see three major pieces of the backlot area go down for refurbishment at the same time. As you can see in this report, our information is limited, but we will report more on this breaking story as more becomes available. Stay tuned….

Disney sees big dollars in Marvel unknowns

Disney Marvel Entertainment

Moviegoers have shown a willingness to be entangled by Spider-Man’s web over and over again. Now, as Disney prepares to buy the comic-book powerhouse Marvel, it faces the question of whether fans will also get attached to characters as obscure as Ant-Man and Iron Fist.

The Walt Disney Co. is making a $4.2 billion bet that they will as it nears completion of its acquisition of Marvel Entertainment Inc. this week. The cash-and-stock deal brings those characters and thousands of others to an entertainment empire that already includes Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog and Hannah Montana.

Disney’s biggest challenge will be to get enough people enthused about second-string superheroes to justify the price _ about $1.2 billion, or 40 percent, more than what Marvel’s stock was worth when the deal was announced Aug. 31.

The high price means Disney will have to find new ways to earn revenue from Marvel _ perhaps by bringing Marvel-licensed toys to more store shelves around the world, and by digging deep into its comic vault for potential new blockbusters.

Although Disney is constrained by the fact that big-name Marvel superheroes such as Spider-Man are already locked up in long-term deals with rival movie studios, Disney has had a history of successfully turning unknown talent such as Miley Cyrus, the actress behind “Hannah Montana,” into multibillion-dollar enterprises.

“With Marvel, it’s not just about `Iron Man’ and `Hulk,'” Caris & Co. analyst David Miller said. “It’s all about the other 5,000 characters that you and I don’t even know about yet.”

Walt Disney World‘s discount climate will continue for at least the first part of next year.

Disney is offering gift cards of up to $750 for consumers who book a five-night Walt Disney Travel Co. package at regular price on select nights through June 3. The deal includes accommodations and a six-day base ticket. The gift card promotion ranges from $300 for booking at Disney’s value resorts to $750 for stays at deluxe resorts or villas.

Since the beginning of the year, Walt Disney Co. has used a series of deep discounts to keep up attendance at its theme-park resorts. Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger said earlier this month that he expects to scale back discounts during the second half of 2010.

With its latest offer, Disney says a vacation for a family of four starts at $1,440 for a standard room at a value resort, if booked by March 27.

“We began testing this new service during the holiday season, and the feedback from guests has been very positive,” said Disneyland Resort spokeswomen Betsy Sanchez. “We’re going to evaluate it at the end of the test and see how it works for our future plans.”

David Goldman & Sean Goldman reunited and headed to DisneyWorld

A father and son reunited after an international custody battle planned to spend their first holiday season together in five years at Disney World in Florida, a family friend said.

David Goldman and his 9-year-old son, Sean, arrived at Orlando International Airport just after 6 p.m. Thursday after meeting earlier at the U.S. Consulate in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Sean Goldman had been living in Brazil since 2004 when his mother, Bruna Bianchi, took him to Rio de Janeiro for what was to have been a two-week vacation. She never returned, instead remarrying there and retaining custody of Sean. She died last year in childbirth.

The Goldmans will spend their first holiday season together in five years at Disney World, a family friend told CNN.

Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey, who flew to Rio to support constituent Goldman, called the father-son reunion “extraordinary” in a conference call with reporters.

The lawmaker said “there were lots of smiles, hugs” when the two were reunited. “They talked about basketball, the snowfall in New Jersey just recently and how much fun it is to play in the snow.”

The Christmas Eve reunion follows a five-year battle that involved U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and numerous Brazilian courtrooms.
