A few of my FP+ are for fireworks due to the hub being so crowded. Also, with our pace (slow) and going in mid-Jan, using FP+ for rides isn't as beneficial.

Nobody is totally sure, but with the backlot tour being scrapped, the rumor is that Light, Motor, Action is on it's way out as well and the area will either be a Star Wars Land or Cars Land like out in California.

You know how Disney is...it will be nothing but rumors that everyone is aware of, then they'll make an official announcement 6 months after the info is common knowledge.

I think they'll still have some kind of light display. According to Jim Hill they might have something based on that ABC reality show the Great light Fight.

Yeah, the FP+ for the electrical parade is money. The view for Wishes isn't the best but if you've got MSEP and Wishes FP+, it just alleviates so mush stress from your evening.

Not rumor, it's coming. MGM is about to get bulldozed at around 40% or so, but it's going to be awesome if they follow through with some of the ideas. I know a few people that work in WDI Orlando and MGM is basically getting an enormous makeover.

Gone pecan. Some people have already been notified, but a formal announcement should come right after the first of the year.

I always try and get info from my friends but they are so damn tight lipped. I get fed a few bits here and there and I'm able to put together the pieces, but it's frustrating.

MDX and the BILLION dollars they spend on that project took so much of their time and focus, Universal really took advantage of the opportunity and put a ton into their parks. With Avatarland and changes to Hollywood Studios coming, hopefully it's worth the wait.

Fantasyland is nice, but it didn't add that much.

Personally, I'd like to see a couple more countries in Epcot soon as well (New Zealand, Greece, etc). Last month there was a rumos about Puerto Rico being added, but then was quickly squashed.

Yep it sure did. I'm surprised at the new things coming to MGM so soon after the tech push, but I think the estimated completion or at least the 80% completion mark is somewhere in 2019.

WDWMagic forums are good and I post there frequently. When I see an interesting rumor, I go on a fishing expedition with my friends that are employed by WDI Orlando. Like I said, sometimes I get nothing more than a grin, but occasionally I get fed some good stuff.

They are very protective of their careers.

That seems really random. I think Brazil would be a great addition. They already have tons of tourists in the winter.

An actual subsahara African country would be cool, but they already have a lot of influence at the animal kingdom lodge.

I saw an old promo from years ago that mentioned Spain as an option. Tapas in EPCOT would be amazing.

I guess they need a cooperative effort from the actual country. I wonder if Russia or an Eastern European nation would be an option?

There's a poster rteetz on disboards who updates the news and rumors thread multiple times daily. Lots of people discussing things there, too and many of them seem to have decent inside info.
