Per mansionButler84 and Martin at WDWMagic - Rat ride is not permanent green marker for France - building to start THIS calender year.

Will not take up all of expansion pad next to France, only part of it. Theater in France to be kept, but movie may be scrapped.

Do they speculate a completion date?
 


I wonder if there's any way we could get the alleged Beauty and the Beast ride, too, if not at WDW then at least somewhere.
 


So to clarify some of the EPCOT information.....

One - we now know M:S will be down for refurb, and that is the starting of the clock for updates for Epcot
Two - Rat is pretty much locked and loaded, with construction expected to start this year.
Three - One WS pavillion added - quite probably Brazil - I have seen two insiders say yes, Spirit has maintained he has not heard it, but won't deny it
Four - small add ride to UK - some think spinner or some such.
Still to come:
Fix of spine for travel from FW to WS
Innovations revamp and fix up of that area
Revamp of Land
Revamp of SSE


On one side note, per Martin at WDWMagic.com - he has heard that GMR is closing this year - still not locked if new Mickey ride is going in. Closing this fall as it stands now

No chance they move the tea cups from MK to EPCOT right?

...it is right next to Tomorrowland Speedway and if MK was going to put a big ride (Tron coaster) in its place and need the additional footprint of the tea cups then maybe???

My Six Flags is currently doing something like this that involved closing 1 ride, moving 3 all to build 1 new coaster...so its not unheard of.

Personally I think it's easier for a six flags to move things because there is less theming aspects and just bare bones rides. While Disney surely could move something I don't see it happening.

I agree, I doubt they would move an existing ride, I also am not sure we are talking something like tea cups, could be as simple as a merry go round themed to Mary Poppins for all we know right now.
 
What about Guardians of the Galaxy attraction at Epcot will take over Ellen's Energy Adventure. This is a rumor or official?:confused:

As pointed out, still rumor. I will add per sources it is pushed out due to the technology they want to use, and the space they are planning to use not fitting well.

I know it is a very small part of the rumor, but I really hope the movie is redone. I just saw all the movies in EP last year & France is the worst. I just can't get past the narrator, he comes off as so pretentious.

I am finally understanding the disapppointment of not choosing Peru over Brazil because Emperor's New Groove is tragically slept on and...ok IP based attraction with MAYBE educational benefit but includes a water flume ride where we fall down the waterfall?
