Disney Rumors
Epcot // It is possible that Test Track may be undergoing a refurbishment that has not been officially announced. Many people going in to make fastpasses for February have reported nothing available.
Epcot // A Brazil pavilion has long been rumored as a possible addition to World Showcase, but there has also been talk of the addition of an India pavilion that would feature a Jungle Book ride.
Magic Kingdom // I recently read a rumor that suggested the TTC could be moved to where the bus location currently is, a new resort built in the TTC location. Not sure how this would work with parking but it’s an interesting thought.
