1) Russia pavilion very close to being official for Epcot:

My question is where would they put it? Where the 'temporary' festival building is?
2) DL's new Monorail Red/Maroon, which will have dark red interior LED lighting when in motion, is scheduled for public runs beginning on President's Day.
3) DL's Dream Suite is behind schedule, and the contractors have a knack for severing Fantasmic! communication lines, and cutting water lines above people waiting in line for POTC.
4) DCA's World of Color lagoon show has been delayed due to the DCA timeline for renovations
5) DCA's preview center has been cancelled until they find a new place for it. The planned place will become restrooms instead, due to the hostile takeover of the restrooms at the Golden Dreams building by WDI.
6) With the expanded space of the restrooms of the Golden Dreams, The Little Mermaid dark ride seems to be (as planned) probably the best dark ride Disney will have ever built on American soil, and will probably be compared to the ones that still dark the guests in, like HM and POTC. The seashell omnimovers will apparently travel in a direction they have never traveled before. I wonder if they will have seatbelts.
7) While Epcot got a really minor celebration of the 25th (because they aren't celebrating anniversaries anymore), DL is already planning a major year for its' 55th, in 2010, which oddly enough, is when The Little Mermaid attraction is due to be completed. Or almost completed. But at least the World of Color should be in place by then.
Now that I think about it, I guess they have a reason for the 55th. (Duh!!!). My guess is that 2010-2012 will be a combined celebration of DL's 55th and MK's 40th.
And because of that, I'm also now betting Dreams continues for just...one...more....year.....until the fall of 2009 or maybe even 2010 itself.

Maybe the 1972 USSR vs Canada series since both sides claimed victory would work.
