Was talking to security tonight while waiting for the fireworks, and he said Disney owns everything on Harbor from McDonald's to Katella. He also said Tomorrow Land is set for a major refurb to be completed before the 60th anniversary.
Disney does not own everything from McDonalds to Harbor unless he is talking about the northern side and I still don't know if they own the lot where the 7-11 sits but the big rumor is that they are going to redo Tomorrowland for the 60th, now what actually happens is still really unknown and most everything is all rumors with no facts...Just because they are a CM does not make them know all as a Disney Historian or Imagineer - Dave

Agreed! Although it is fun to speculate what is going to be the next big project! :] - thelittlestmouse 83.5 #3281 1:21AM
TOTALLY, I'm own creativity and inner Imagineer run wild at times with stuff like this, always have - Dave 8824.1 #2 1:37AM
Wait, its not the center????? Dreams dashed... I dont know what to believe in anymore - Radius 502.3 #239 1:37AM
wait, waltz died?! but that's my favourite dance! - nicoleface 1325.3 #62 2:50AM
I was told by a CM that after the 50th anniversary, I wouldn't see Tinkerbell fly across the sky until the 75th.. I was 17 and cried thinking it was the last time I'd see Remember Fireworks lol!! π - SarahJoshDisney 69.6 #3465 4:37AM
Wait....so what is the golden spike then? - Mickey82 286.1 #707 9:32AM
@ Mickey82, on the Fantasyland side of the eastel entrance there is a golden survey spike. It has been long time falsly "known" to be the geographic center of Disneyland - GoofyMom77 245.3 #1073 9:51AM
*castel not eastel - GoofyMom77 245.3 #1073 9:52AM
well said, I didn't know about this, and what I know does not really matter. - Plumiegirl 3502.9 #11 10:32AM
Never said it was fact Dave, I was just passing on a casual conversation w/ a CM. I guess next time I'll post a disclaimer first. Don't take things so seriuosly. - connielu 672.2 #161 4:29PM
That is unless they are BaseballMickey! - Boundin 428.1 #299 12:13AM
Did he say anything about the balls? - ScooterMike
1959.8 #37 12:34AM
The balls! What about the balls? They're gone! - ScooterMike 1959.8 #37 12:37AM
Fine, did he at least give you the scoop on Ariel's hair? Where is it being held hostage at? - ScooterMike 1959.8 #37 12:41AM
Right before the "at" SM - connielu 672.2 #161 12:43AM
Sorry my grammar is terrible tonight. Must be something in that Dole Whip I ate. - ScooterMike 1959.8 #37 12:47AM
It's 4 am and I started busting up at where is Ariel's hair being held hostage at!!! πππ - SarahJoshDisney 69.6 #3465 4:39AM
Coffee coming through my nose at Ariel's hair. bahahaha - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1837.7 #43 9:09AM
CMs don't talk about their balls unless they want a reprimand. - Experiment818 1598.0 #49 9:42AM
I was talking about Luigi's balls. Get your mind out of the gutter. - ScooterMike 1959.8 #37 10:01AM
Im totally excited for tomorrowland - joxua

The WDW story proves that this isn't true. Walt was upset with all the cheap and tacky eateries and hotels that sprung up around Disneyland. It took away from the magic he was trying to create. That's one of the reasons he bought so much land in secret in FL - GoofyMom77

You were in Disneyland tonight!!?π wish I would have known! Would have loved to say hello! Thanks for the informative post. - Duchess_SMK

Tried to make the meet up but couldn't. Would have like to see some MWers too. Tomorrow will be our last day for awhile, probably OΓ§tober - connielu 672.2 #161 12:40AM
@connie well maybe I'll see you today! @Dave in a final celebration of lilSweet going back to school ThomasOmalley decided to take us up for the weekend. I'm not complaining. π - Duchess_SMK 3548.0 #10 7:49AM
Oh really?? I wonder what they will do.... (Just leave Space Mt alone!!) π - DisneyFanZoe
1099.6 #75 12:37AM
He said the enterance was going to be redone, widened out, and the rock scuptures gone. Maybe moving the orbiter back where it used to be. - connielu 672.2 #161 12:47AM
I agree with leaving Space Mountain alone! - MonteKristal 310.6 #573 12:49AM
He also said the people mover track probably wasn't going to survive ( bummer) - connielu
672.2 #161 12:52AM
Sadly, I've heard that the PM track has deteriorated beyond repair. Also, if it came back, OSHA requirements would be insane. - thelittlestmouse 83.5 #3281 1:13AM
I wonder if that has anything to do with bringing the PM back - Stitch_Legacy

From what I heard from an unofficial source that they are planing to get rid of autopia, finding nemo and innoventions. - CM_DJDopey
23.2 #4886 2:36AM
Well I don't like any of those ideas at all. - TrueFromOzLovesDisney 312.4 #565 4:44AM
I've heard they are going to re-imagine autopia. It'll still be a "drive the car" attraction but with some major improvements. A couple of new and fully awesome attractions are supposed to take the place of Innoventions and Nemo - GoofyMom77 245.3 #1073 10:01AM
I've read there are plans for the innoventions building and the people mover will never return π also read Alice is to get retractable railing so the ugly tarps can come down and there are no plans for the subs at this time - KissDclown

The funny thing is I know exactly which security guard you're referring to. I was talking with him one day when he had similar things to say. I politely (well as politely as I could π) said that I didn't think he was totally right and his response was "I've been here quite a while longer than you princess. I know what's going on." - lostgirl7988
556.6 #205 7:51AM
Awww. He called you princess...π - SueBayou 2012.0 #35 7:54AM
Stupid ihpone cut me off. My advice is unless it's been confirmed by an official Disney source (the blog, official Disney websites ect) take everything with a grain of salt. A lot of CM's like to think they know everything and spread information that they don't know is false. How do you think we got mermaids in pirates?? Lol - lostgirl7988 556.6 #205 7:57AM
Where's my crown sue???? - lostgirl7988 556.6 #205 7:58AM
*runs over with Becca's crown*π - SueBayou 2012.0 #35 8:06AM
Sue, I just pictured you flailing your arms holding a crown! Bwahaha!! - Armenda 1059.1 #82 8:12AM
That's because I was! (where's the camera??!?)π±π± - SueBayou 2012.0 #35 8:15AM
He said that??? Oh for barf's sake. - LaneSparrow316 846.9 #110 9:27AM
mermaids in potc came from a mwer not a cmππππππ - toph 2406.7 #26 10:22AM
What did he look like? - connielu 672.2 #161 11:56PM
I think a lot of the confusion about what Disney owns stems from an agreement between the City and "Resort Area Businesses". The resort area is 2.2 miles and is for tourism/commercial use only. Disney does not own all of this land, they are just directly affected by it. The City voted to approve a developer's plans to build 1,500 homes within the boundaries. Long story short, Disney sued, and City then withdrew approval. Voters must now approve any non-tourism/commercial developments in the area. - Gia

You're welcome, hmacif! I love it too! - Gia 794.1 #122 9:54AM
That isn't true, my grandma owns a convince store called st. Germaines right off of katella and before harbor and my grandma said the only way she would sell the store is if Disney bought it. I wonder why he would tell anyone that - Queenof2princesses
