155.1Heard on CNN's Headline NewsATE012::BERUBEI'm Thumping on a Green-Flagged..Wed Jan 10 1990 11:2413
    I saw  a  30  second  blurb  on  CNN's  Headline  news  last night that
    mentioned Disney announcing a 10 year  developement plan for Disneyland
    which is to include a of the Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park at WDW.
    
    Did anyone else here more on this?
    
    How about you Californian's?
    
    Does  Disney  own land in California other  than  Disneyland  (which  I
    thought they had no more room to grow)  and  their  Film  Ranch (Golden
    Oaks?) were they have room for the Studio Tour?

    As you might know, Disney purchased the Queen Mary/Spruce Goose
    attraction in Long Beach.  Last night on TV they mentioned ex-
    panding there in Long Beach, also they mentioned property near
    Disneyland (don't know where).

    Disney to expand kingdom, by Craig Wilson USA TODAY
    
    The magic Kingdom just keeps getting bigger.
    
    Disney chairman  Micheal  Eisner  is  expected to unveil a 10-year plan
    Friday to expand the 35-year-old Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.
    
    Included:  a reproduction of the Disney-MGM Studios at Florida's Disney
    World, and Indiana Jones  stunt  extravaganza  and attractions based on
    the Muppets and Roger Rabit.
    
    Not to be outdone, Disney World in Florida has scheduled a Sunday press
    conference to announce a major expansion there, too.
    
    Although Disneyland employess have seen a  sneak  preview  of plans for
    the expanded Southern California theme park opened  by  Walt  Disney in
    1955, officials are declining to elaborate immediately.
    
    "It  will all become official on friday", says  publicity  manager  Bob
    Roth.
    
    Disneylan's 35th anniversary begins Thursday, when Eisner welsomes back
    1955 opening day celebrities, including Ronald Reagan.

    From what I heard from people that work in EPCOT last September, there
    will be another lake in EPCOT to add 14 more countries and conect the
    Swan Hotel to the EPCOT park by boats and walk ways.  The channel will
    be between France and England.  Constrution has started already!!!!

pay much attention to what happens in Calif.?

    >Did the MGM/Disney Theme Park open in Calif?
    
    Nope!
    
    I think Disney Co. and Anaheim are trying to sell the State govt. and
    the local residents that WESTCOT and another movie studio theme park
    would be a good thing.
