News Round Up 2017

Interesting - guess they are committed to that land (I have seen some rumors of Star war expansion and/or Fantasyland expansion encroaching on it)

Would this be in addition to what is there or taking over Roger Rabbit?

I have heard of a Fantasyland (specifically Frozen) expansion moving in on it too.

Not sure what it would take up. It would need roughly 1.85 acres of space.

Lol...I still can enjoy emerils...and I still love pucks.

It's old...but still tastes good on occasion.

Unlike Cinderella, Tony's, primetime, and chef mickeys...which continue to suck as always.

Cinderella’s has been amazing every time I’ve gone (aka since last year just twice)

 

[MissGina5]

Hey all just stopping in as I’m at Disney World as we speak! If anyone is here message me! I’m so excited to hear that coco is good! And I know I’m late but I finally got to go on flight of passage and wow! I’ll like a trip report when I come home

Rumor

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway to come to Toontown in Disneyland...

I guess Disney is really confident on Runaway Railway being a popular attraction.

Ugh. I wasn’t even excited about the ride going into DHS (not my style of animation) but I was decently excited about a DLR expansion of fantasyland and sounds like that’s not gonna happen then

You're fresh off the college program, right?

...not saying that means anything...but...

TOTS...but I wouldn't be shocked at this...they never leave a clone on the table.

Just me - today, 10-29-2017? I see no NEWS - just commentary.
Please, if it's NEWS - label it, as our moderator has mandated. This helps people looking for actual NEWS.

That's because there isn't actual news many days...if not most. You're free to abstain...as always.

NEWS
There was very little news today

RUMOR
Check back tomorrow...there may be more news then...

Rumor

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway to come to Toontown in Disneyland...

If this were true, it might just get me to WDW this upcoming year for our possible last trip instead of having to wait until 2019. I'd really like to avoid SW:GE.

Rumor

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway to come to Toontown in Disneyland...

That's interesting. Considering that this is the second rumor that has Toontown being expanded, I'm assuming there might be some truth in it. If I recall, there's still a piece of land available even after Star Wars opens. The only question is whether they've figured out where to place the new firework launch area.

I'm okay with it. It'd be better if they had a different version for each coast, but that'd be a nice addition to the area anyway.

Oh no! That would be very sad!

Whether you love, hate, or are indifferent to Universal, you have to give them credit. They keep getting after it in Orlando and they seem to be willing to invest to keep pushing the Mouse House. As many have said, that's good for all of us.

I still can't entice my kids in a Universal trip while we're in Orlando -- no interest. We did visit Universal Hollywood... to see The Walking Dead attraction and the Psycho house.

But I agree: competition = good for all.

Not sure how old your kids are, but that might be something that comes with age.
