"No firm decision has yet been made."


Today on KCRW 89.9 FM in Southern California, Kim Irvine spoke out
regarding the "it's a small world" changes.

Kim Irvine talked a lot about the aesthetics of the "it's a small world" changes, again dodging the real questions fans are asking regarding the appropriateness of Disney characters in a show themed to the Children of the World -- not popular animated films.

The end of the segment was interesting though. The segment host, short on time, tagged on at the end:

By the way, about that Papua New Guinea rainforest section, and whether it will be replaced with a themed display called "Up with America," Kim told me that no firm decision has yet been made.


No firm decision has yet been made? Didn't Marty Sklar tell us that the Rainforest replacement and "Up with America" scene rumors were "all not true"?
Now the rumors are swirling that we are “ruining Walt’s creation.” I’ve heard that we are planning to remove the rainforest, add Mickey and Minnie Mouse, create an “Up with America” tribute, to effectively “marginalize” the Mary Blair style and Walt’s classic (all not true).
