I guess another reason that it is quiet around here is that we are in a period of stability as far as the Disney company is concerned. I mean - for the last few years, we've been watching Hawaii and two new cruise ships being built, DCA and Hong Kong getting fixed and we've been hanging off the news and photographs of all these things.
Sure, they are building Shanghai at the moment, but there is nothing really visible and there are no weekly photo updates from fans to show us what is happening due to where the park is located. On top of that, Disney is keeping everything under their hats. The Ratatouille ride is being built in Paris at the moment, but again, Disney haven't even officially announced it, and as it is an indoor attraction, there won't be much to see during construction other than the building itself. And then there is the work being undertaken in WDW with Fantasyland which is great, but a little underwhelming (unless you are a girl under 12 - it is certainly not a Harry Potter World killer to get excited about.)
Once Shanghai hits full swing and the Avatar land begins construction, then I think we'll all be excited again as they are major efforts - in the meantime, we'll have to be satisfied with reading along with everyone's trip planning and trip reports - so hurry up Lisa and Sandie - get over there
