Like Disneyland, rumors are the Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World will be getting its guns back as well.

Goofy's Country Dancin' Jamboree closed earlier this month. It will be replaced by an enhanced character meet and greet.

FastPass is gone from Who Wants To Be a Millionaire - Play It! I've also heard a rumor that attraction may be gone around the end of the year...but I've been wrong on this one before.

New atmosphere speakers will be installed at Walt Disney World.  These all plastic speakers are hermetically sealed to prevent water, bugs, etc. from affecting sound quality. They also have better sound quality that the current speakers.

ScreapScape has rumors of a Tapestry of Nations-style parade coming to Epcot in the future. They also discuss some of the dining changes coming to Disney-MGM Studios along with Lights! Motors! Action. Click here  for the details.

Disney will soon be released a theme-park exclusive Pirates of the Caribbean version of The Game of Life. Guests can pre-order a copy signed by the artists here.
