This looks spectacular.

The *Disney Hipsters* have the details
> Rivers of Light is the almost maybe could be official name of the first ever regularly scheduled night time show to take place at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The show has been in development since 2006, before being put on hold indefinitely in 2008
> …
> Earlier this month, Rivers of Light received its inaugural test run hours after the park closed and it was a resounding success. Rivers of Light (I figure the more often I repeat the title, the less pedestrian it will sound) will incorporate Disney’s new favorite toy – that being projection technology – to make the animals emblazoned on the Tree Of Life seemingly (relatively speaking) come alive
Interesting. I would love to see a reason to be at Animal Kingdom later in the day.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: Well, other than *Avatar Land* of course…assuming that actually happens.

Saving Mr Banks Poster Released
The poster is amazing.
I know this is necessary to start building the new Disney Springs, but it really sad to see the Comedy Warehouse get torn down. I had so many good memories at that place.
This *might* help cellphone use in the park[^fn1], but it definitely will not help the fact that AT&T is pretty much useless in most of the state of Florida.
[^fn1]: I really doubt it will. There are just too many people.

The Case for Lotso
> Perhaps Lotso was just the victim of a broken heart that could not be mended. Hear us out for a second while we make the case for poor old Lotso…
I love [Oh My Disney](http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2013/07/22/the-case-for-lotso/) so much.
I have memories of watching my dad tear it up at this place. It makes me smile just thinking about it.
I love these new cartoons. They have all been so great.
Two thoughts:
1. I agree with Tom.
2. I hope we are both wrong and Disney announces something big.
Now, when people either (1) ask me questions about this or (2) say ridiculous rumors about it, I can just point them to this post.
It is sad to see Carol Stein’s role reduced. Hopefully, they can find her a nice, new home at Disney Springs when it is completed. Preferably, at some kind of improv comedy club.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: I will never get over how good she was at the Comedy Warehouse. I really, really miss that place.
I wonder if this is what Elyssa means when she says she wants to “drink around the world” at Disney?
> The current plan calls for lots I, J and K to be closed on July 22 2013. Combined with the recent lot H closure, this will mean that all parking lots from Disney Quest to the Pleasure Island bus stops will be closed.
That is really going to make things congested. I am interested to see how the [shuttle bus](http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/disney-springs/news/15jul2013-more-parking-lot-closures-coming-to-downtown-disney-and-off-site-parking-readied-for-busy-periods.htm#.UeQzUeNIJrQ.twitter) stuff works.

I thought for sure this post was going to be from [Oh My Disney](http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/), but it actually an example of [WDW Radio](http://www.wdwradio.com) updating its blogging game.
Huh. I never realized how much space the World Showcase has to expand if Disney chooses to do so.
In the various times I had been do Disney World in the past 30+ years, I had not been on the Carousel of Progress until last year. I am so glad I decided to ride it[^fn1], especially since I feel that it is so quintessentially Disney.
[^fn1]: I can thank Elyssa for suggesting it.
I know that Cap’n Jack’s doesn’t have the best reputation, but I have always had a good time when I went. It is a stretch to say I will miss it, but it is weird to think it will be gone.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: On the other hand, I am going to miss Planet Hollywood when it closes. I have had just too many memories at that place.
Speaking of movies that I think are going to be great…
Well, shoot. That is where I *always* part.
They look great. I am really looking forward to this movie.
