Rumors, Rumors Everywhere: What Could be Coming to Disney World; Will Disneyland Forever be Discontinued?

Rumors are brewing at both Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Today, WDW News Today and Blog Mickey certainly got the internet rumbling about certain attractions coming to Epcot, most likely a "Guardians of the Galaxy" overlay somewhere in Future World.

It comes down to two rumored locations and while nothing has been announced or confirmed it does seem plausible that where they could put the new attraction would definitely work. WDW News Today is reporting the Mission: SPACE would be getting the overlay from the Marvel superheroes in a similar attraction to the TRON: Lightcycle Power Run that just opened over in Shanghai Disneyland. 

On Blog Mickey, the rumor is that we could soon be saying goodbye to Ellen's Energy Adventure (I am weeping a little on this one) in which Disney pours millions into the new ride. They had no word on what type of attraction would be. They did say that it would be Phase 2 of a project in which Phase 1 would focus on Innoventions. 

While this just a rumor and nothing is confirmed it does seem like Disney is testing the IP market after the recent success of the "Frozen Ever After" attraction in the Norway pavilion that just opened last week.

The next rumor up is once again being reported by WDW News Today, that The Muppets are coming to Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom in a new attraction. It has not yet been announced by Disney yet but testing is apparently imminent. 

Here is what they are hearing:

"The rather lengthy facade refurbishment of the Heritage House seems to have been for this new attraction which will have The Muppets teaching and interacting with guests concerning U.S. history. The Muppets characters, which were reportedly built in a collaboration between the Jim Henson company and Walt Disney Imagineering, will be appearing high above guests in the second story windows of Liberty Square."

There is no other info out at this time but stay tuned as I'm sure we will be getting some news from Disney on the new Muppets attraction if the rumors are true. Not sure about "The Guardians of the Galaxy" overlay as those are just rumors at this point in time.

Will Disneyland Forever Fireworks be Discontinued?:

The Disneyland 60th Diamond Celebration will officially end on September 5th, but will the Disneyland Forever fireworks show also be going away that day. The original rumor that the spectacular fireworks show would be discontinued at the end of the celebration due to budget cuts, first reported by WDWNT. 

Today however, WDW Info (The DIS) is reporting that it may not be discontinued just because of budget cost but due to the current launch area for the fireworks in Toontown. The rumor indicates that guests visiting Disneyland may not enjoy fireworks at the park for at least 6 months. This would allow Disney to build a new launch site. 

Disney has not commented on what will happen to Disneyland Forever so this remains just a rumor as it stands. As always stay tuned on It All Started With a Mouse for all your Disney rumors, news, and all other things Disney.
