[WeatherbySwann]

No major changes as far as plot or anything to do with the actual attraction itself, but lots sprucing up. Looks good!

I wondered what kind of update they might have done; so it was mostly just the props and the things you view on the way in then? Cool.

Hey guys, the following info has been out there for a while, but I don't think it has been mentioned here yet, so here goes;

The next D23 Expo will take place August 19-21, 2011.
Here is a page with the current info about it; http://d23.disney.go.com/expo/031010_EE_D23Expo2011.html

I am linking this page becuase if you click on "2009 Expo highlights" you will see that the meet with Gonzo, Fozzie, and Pepe is included in the 2009 highlights.

I'm sure that there is a good chance that there will be Muppet presence at the 2011 expo. Though its still too early for any specific information.

Speaking of a Muppets presence: I was at the Disney Store this past weekend and there were some good T-Shirts--mostly for women and kids--and some stationary, mugs, and a few other items. I was glad to see all that!

No,the 23 stands for 1923(The year Walt arrived in Hollywood),not an event that happened 23 or now 24 years ago!

Interesting...So its going alphabetically and will be E23 now then?

I hope they announce all/most of Disney's plans for promotion of the new movie. Maybe they'll even screen a sneak peek (though I won't be there).

No, it is not going alphabetically.It is going...very well.
and if things are going very well, there is no need to change it.
