O f T omorrow. A little bird recently visited the Walt Disney World resort and brought back information on Mission Space, Timekeeper and a new pool at the Grand Floridian. For four consecutive weekends beginning May 4 the Disney-MGM Studios joins forces with Lucasfilm Ltd. to present the second annual Star Wars Weekends, a celebration that transports guests of all ages to a galaxy far, far away. If you were planning to stop at the Main Street Bakery for breakfast or afternoon treat, be advised it is currently closed for refurbishing.
Plans are to have it open again in the coming weeks.
For those of you wishing to see this attraction one last time, Moderator MickeyMark reports that the closing date for the Timekeeper has been extended until April 29th. What got by us however was the fact that in addition to the Timekeeper, the Keelboats in Liberty Square are also on the chopping block. Philbin handed the keys to the hot seat to six new theme park hosts charged with recreating the drama delivered in the ABC-TV game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Combine the energy of seven lightning bolts, the electrical power of a fleet of 2,000 highway trucks and a sprinkling of pixie-dust. Then turn down the lights in the Magic Kingdom.
