Bob Iger

[Nitro_230]

Twitter is currently freaking out due to Iniside the Magic reporting that Bob Iger is in the park.

I hear Bob Iger is at Disney’s Hollywood Studios… maybe some truth to the rumor of a Star Wars related announcement tonight…?

Maybe he just really likes Star Wars :look:

Definitely not holding my breath. But I've never wanted to be more wrong.

It would be rather interesting if they did announce something big tonight. I mean there has been some light talk of a Star Wars land, but nothing huge, no talk of attractions that would go there, ect. So it would really be coming out of the blue to the enthusiast community, which is rare.

DHS is doing a special Star Wars fireworks show or are they talking about the announcement coming before Fantasmic?

 

[Nitro_230]

There isn't one steady rumor. I've heard both. The original one was before the fireworks I believe.

 

[JungleSkip]

No media presence and no Disney camera crews on site lead me to believe it's nothing major.

Here's to hoping though

 

[Disneyhead]

The media has not been alerted to ANY kind of announcement tonight.

 

[Thor]

Apparently CMs were told Iger is due to speak before the fireworks at 9:45. Not holding my breath for anything major, but man, would it be nice!

Also, just to add to some speculation, I was tipped off an announcement may happen today a few weeks ago but said nothing because I didn't think they'd announce something this close to D23.

Were you tipped off as to the subject of said announcement or just that there may be an announcement?

Just that there would be an announcement. Not even that, really. Just that something was going to happen

Gotcha. Guess we just need to wait and see and prepare for nothing major. Better off that way.

 

[JungleSkip]

My money is on something movie related.

AKA...Meh.

 

[jtsalien]

I bet he announces they will be having Star Wars weekends this year.

 

[Nitro_230]

It would go a long way with the fans if they announced something (movie or theme park) to fans and not at a press conference. This being a recent addition to the Disney portfolio it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and win over those fans.

Park Management is freaking out because he arrived two hours ago and already is bored with nothing to do.

 

[Disneyhead]

I was told be a friendly Spirit about a month ago to keep an eye on this date.

He can get in the standby line for TSM and watch fastpass people walk by. Maybe then he'll realize that 85/15 is not reasonable.

Hey, if you include Muppetvision, that's at least a good three hours.

Guess he's not a muppets fan?
