It's a dream come true for Buzz Lightyear as Disney Parks and NASA send the 12-inch-tall action figure "to infinity and beyond!" Buzz Lightyear will blast off aboard Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-124. Liftoff from Kennedy Space Center is scheduled for 5:02 p.m. ET on May 31. Buzz will spend several months in space at the International Space Station (ISS) testing the limits of zero gravity before returning home to a hero's welcome at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida later this year.
Beginning May 22, deep in the heart of Adventureland the daring Dr. Jones will take Disneyland Park guests on a thrilling series of exploits in the season-long INDIANA JONES SUMMER OF HIDDEN MYSTERIES. Guests will be invited to become archaeologists, to interact with Indy himself and to journey deep into exotic jungles to unscramble clues, all the while learning what life is like for one of the greatest adventure heroes of all time.
All 23 hotels at Walt Disney World Resort and the company's Vero Beach resort have now been certified as meeting voluntary environmental guidelines. Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort recently earned the state's Green Lodging designation as the final two Disney Resort hotels to earn the designation. Disney's BoardWalk Inn was the first hotel in Florida to receive the Green Lodging designation in 2004.
Scheduled to debut at Epcot's Innoventions pavilion in late August, StormStruck: The Tale of Two Homes is designed to be fun -- yes, fun -- and educational. It seeks to motivate homeowners to be sure their homes hold up against hurricanes using an example of two homes hit during Hurricane Charley in 2004. StormStruck, an immersive digital surround-sound-theater experience, is based on what happened to these two houses -- and is designed to show homeowners that they can make their own homes safer: not by teaching the nitty-gritty of safe construction, but with a little Disney drama.
In a pioneering partnership, set to launch May 20th 2008, Google Earth and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will make it easy to take a virtual trip to Walt Disney World's Epcot Center, Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and 22 Disney hotels and resorts. Computer users will click on maps that show about 1,500 rides, restaurants and attractions in 3-D. The mega-map, with interactive features, will be available for free via both partner's web sites. "It's a virtual walk-through of the whole property … the most amazing virtual tour of any place in the world," Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chairman Jay Rasulo says.
The second Tower being built at Disney's Contemporary resort now stands 14 stories tall and shows signs of a bridge being built to link it with the Orgional Tower.

Desipite much visible progress and many official filings, Disney spokespeople remain mum about the project. The company documents still list the completion of the project in Fall 2009.
