News Round Up 2017

[danikoski]

Just an FYI, there is a rumour over on the WL thread that the hotel rooms in the north wing are going to be going through a soft goods refurbishment this spring. Imfo came from a WL CL CM, so take it as you will. Although the hotel rooms are due for a freshening up.

Marvel Super Heroes Come to Disneyland Paris in Summer 2018

I can understand what @skier_pete is thinking. If a person who would normally not go to Walt Disney World ends up going for Galaxy's Edge, how likely are they do head over to Magic Kingdom to go to the "kiddie park" (not that I think Magic Kingdom is a kiddie park, but just trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who wouldn't go to Walt Disney World but would go solely for Star Wars stuff).

I'd also think those types of people would want to cover every square inch of Galaxy's Edge, and if they are coming for the opening, I'd bet it would take a couple of days to do that, with the crowd level of the land.

You forget, those SW devotees are nerds. Space Mountain is big. If they can draw them to FL, they'll hit all the WDW parks and Uni parks if my 501 sources bare out.

Rumor

Flights of Wonder to close at the end of the year...

Out of all of the times I have been to AK, I have never seen this show. I have always wanted to, and have put it on my schedule many times. Usually when it came down to that show, it would either be raining or I was feeling like doing something else. Hopefully I can catch it if it doesn't close before the end of the new year.

I wonder how much this has to do with confusion over the name. Not a big show person, but it was my favorite. FotLK is great, but the absence of the tumble monkeys really takes away from the enjoyment for me.

The tumble monkeys are still apart of the show. They just don't always do their act during "Hakuna Matata." I advise going to the earlier performances for a better "chance" of seeing their act. Once it hits the afternoon, I think they make that act a show by show basis to give one monkey a break per show. If the FotLK didn't perform every hour, I would be curious to know if the monkey act would be in each show.

I find California adventure to be more enjoyable than Disneyland...

A lot has to do with the crowds and my familiarity with the "better" magic kingdom...but I think It's more than that...

I was just about to "like" this until I read the "better MK"

We see it every trip. Didn't figure the one four weeks ago would be our last. Always loved the ending where you thought you had seen some impressive birds during the show but soon realized when they brought out the bald eagle who was the boss! Hate that it is going away.

It's actually a great show for the rain. DW and DD went and saw it for a 2nd time one trip when we were at AK and it was raining hard. The crowd is entirely covered. I chose to give EE a try instead since we'd seen it just 4 days before.

Footnote: EE in the rain is a weird kind of torture. Alternates between exhilarating (inside parts) and bitingly painful (outside parts).

When we rode EE in the rain last August, right at the start as we were ascending up into mountain, the thrills were punctuated by everyone's cell phones loudly going berserk with tornado warning alerts telling everyone to seek shelter immediately.

Yeah. I know it's covered. Just when it's raining, usually I'm on the complete other side of the park when it just gets "hard" so I find the closest show/attraction that is inside. It just hasn't worked out for some reason.

I've been on EE in the rain, and I agree with you on that.

Yuk, that sounds too much like.....WORK exhilierating = payday Bitingly painful = every other day!

A new show would come to the theater but it’s unknown what that would be.

Any idea when the new show would start?

Just to clarify...I'm not pooing on Disneyland...but the master planning in Florida that couldn't be done in Anaheim gives it an edge.

They want to build a hotel and that involves two parking decks and a loss of guest space...

Star Wars land is literally touching a freeway and on ramps...
