Ya i read about this a while back. Apparently Reeves wanted to do another one the studio liked the idea but decided that a reboot would be better.

As long as they don't have a CG Rufus it should be fine.

I wonder if the humor would work nowadays? The two characters were 80's era; the two would seem anachronistic now. They would have to modernize the two.

That's very true. Maybe the new Bill & Ted will be punk skateboarders ala Bam Margera?

We've strayed a wee bit from the topic at hand: DCA over-haul. Anyone have any idea of when the new front admission gates will be completed?

Wow, I just read the update on the Pixar Pals "pop-up" parades at DCA ~ that looks far worse than what is going on at Disney's Hollywood Studios...maybe we should be glad we have it as good as we do in WDW!!

You're in Michigan, you do not get to use "we"! :D

But anyway, I can't imagine they are putting a ton of effort into the pop up parades since they are only a filler show while the construction goes on.

Grrrrrr!! :evil: Fine! The people that are currently complaining should feel lucky that WDW's HS parade is as good as it is...how about that?! :P
They could have done a little better on the float that I saw, all that was missing was the duct tape holding on the temporary sign to make it a total redneck effort!

As long as they're on this side of Mississippi River, they're part of the "we" that go to WDW; on the other side, they're part of your "we" that go to DLR. :wink: :lol:

Not sure how long it'll take but I was there today and they were doing some work on the theater that's going where the sun burst used to be.
