The steady, hardworking folk in Frontierland want to keep the town safe and free of rougharound-the-edges, opportunistic types. Rumors are spreading that gold has been discovered in mines belonging to Frontierland, and there is even a rumor that Frontierland itself sits on the motherlode! Whether or not the rumors are true, the folk in Rainbow Ridge have one thing on their minds: take over Frontierland! Thus, the struggle begins…

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Reopens September 27

By

The Disney Parks Blog announced today that Finding Nemo Submarine will reopen on September 27th.

When the Subs closed there were rumors that they were closing forever. Mostly because of cost cutting measures. Also according to the rumors, the construction walls with “returning soon” type language were a ruse by Disney to hide the fact that there were indeed closing forever.

We here at the Disgeek Podcast has stated that this was a bogus rumor from the beginning. At this point MiceChat has lost pretty much all credibility with us. The rumor was ridiculous to begin with and the fact they were SO INSISTENT on it being true made me want to challenge it as hard as I did. Everything from the rumor itself and the fact they put up scaffolding to fool people was just unbelievable and extremely irresponsible.

In other news the same blog post from the Disney Parks Blog also mentioned that Alice in Wonderland will reopen on the 4th of July and that the new Frozen Pre-Parade float will debut on Friday, June 13th.
