Any process is prone to mistakes if the people executing don't follow it to the tee, which it sounds like what happened. It sounds like this was an unfortunate chain of mistakes that happened here, and if any one of them had not happened, this might have been avoided. I would imagine that fatigue will also play into the final findings on this.

History tells us that Disney very, very rarely starts construction or building on anything significant without rumors leaking out or even an official announcement. I'm sure it's some backstage work or work on one of the existing projects already mentioned.

Go to youtube and watch the video of the first show, you won't believe what happens to poor mike. I was laughing to tears.

I think Disney will be okay with this one. They've already had a rule in place about the IBOT. He clearly was NOT following the rules that they have in place for their safety guidelines.

Initially, I believe it only applied to guests holding FP's during a downtime. But it was...

That should be Roy "E" Disney

I have it from a reliable source that Star Wars Weekends for 2010 will be the last 2 weeks in May and the first 2 in June, similair to recent years. Now you can make those plans!
