Not sure if this counts, but I am extremely excited about Kingdom Keepers VI! (Well I guess it sorta counts, it’s Disney ) That cliffhanger was terrible, but I think it’s kinda like KK5 asks the questions and KK6 answers them, which should be really fun. I also really like how Mr. Pearson incorporates peoples names into the books, like Storey Ming and Lou Mongello.
I’m also excited for the Fantasyland Expansion, because I’ve never been a big fan of Snow White’s Scary Adventures, and I think the seven Dwarfs mine train looks really good. Also, I’m excited to see Ariel’s undersea adventure, because I loved the one in Disneyland but it didn’t have the castle facade that this one will.
I was wondering, what is the WDW Trivia Question? Thanks!

I can’t wait for avatar land. It was definitely surprising hearing about disney partnering with James Cameron.

Great interview. It always surprises me how the personality of the artist can be so different from how you might imagine it before hearing or meeting them. I’ve found this in meeting many artists. Casey’s art is so dynamic and has a clear voice, I guess I expected him to be a little more extroverted, but he was pretty “aw..shucks, I just draw – thisandthisandthisandthisandthis, oh heck, yeah, my logo is on the water tower, but anyone could have done that.” It’s a good thing, Casey, really.

And can I just say for me personally, THANK YOU for your hand in getting the Orange Bird back. I had almost completely forgotten about him until I heard Lou’s recent podcast, then to see Imagineering Disney’s Mitch have an article about it, only to see him (the bird) make a full comeback is terrific. I saw him when I first when to the park in ’77 or ’78 and likely would have forgotten all about him without you guys. It brought back a rush of memories from being a kid there for the first time, everything was so clean and bright, I think of them as the “Sunshine and Orange Juice” memories of Florida. I got a ringer t-shirt with a puffy, vinyl (I think) circle in the middle on the front with Donald in it, but I digress.

Anyway, I thought Casey was at least deserving of a link to his blog caseyjonesart dot blogspot dot com , also, you can find a lot of cool photos of his work others have taken just googling.

Good work, guys!

i am very excited about Avatarland. Joking aside. Knowing how Cameron is about getting what he wants reminds me of Walt Disney and Steve Job’s work ethic about making great things. If this huge undertaking takes 10 years so be it. As long as Joe Rohde is involved, I know he will make it fit in his park.
