Ah, this is what happens when I don't get time for lunch or personal browsing.

I wonder how much wrangling they did to get George Lucas to take 2nd billing again? He is famed for being a diva.

It is a DISNEY ride at a DISNEY theme park - I think they have the right to get top billing. Now if he opens his own theme park, then...
...I wonder why he hasn't opened his own Star Wars theme-park?

It doesn't matter, since Disney can't make a star wars ride without him and they are making a reboot of a popular ride, he could/did demand top billing.
He probably hasn't opened one because he can make a buttload more cash by having everyone else pay to do it. Legoland in Carlsbad just added a star wars area. I don't think it has any rides but they still paid dearly for it.

Very cool to see the new pirates merchandise hitting the stores. I honestly thought it should have been in at the start of the month.

They probably should have, to get all the spring break crowds since all of April and half of march have been busy.

My spring break has started this week so I think it won't die down until sometime late April.

Can we just start a rumor that someone let a panther loose in the parks? I want my after lunch/meeting thrill rides.

A wild Subsonic has been roaming throughout the parks and has taken over the Dole Whip stand. Approach with caution.

Just spread a rumor that Prince William and Kate are honeymooning over at the Grand Californian and maybe that will clear the parks...

It might clear the parks but the swarm of people who want to see them would be so thick you couldn't get to security, let alone off the tram.
