Apparently another jewelry store was needed. Ever After Jewely Co. replaces D-Living.

That’s more wishful thinking.

It would be a great fix, though. Now, and for the future.

There will likely be another controversial President again, or always, from here on out.

Although, the way things are now, I could see even Lincoln and Washington being turned into controversial figures by some.

I think it would be less controversial for sure. Even though I didn’t visit every trip I’d miss HoP. 44 AAs in one show is pretty incredible.

New Dooney ear hat bag collection

we did the Tomorrowland Terrace fireworks dessert party on our last trip, and most of the projections were obscured by the trees. Well it was nice to be able to sit down for the fireworks, I feel we still missed an awful lot of what we paid for!

If we ever did that I think we would do the option where you go down to the plaza garden area for the viewing. You don't get a seat but I have heard that are generally doesn't get full and you can at least sit on the ground and still be able to see

Wasn't there something in the rumors that they may go back to only having Lincoln and Washington talk, like it was originally? That would get around any political issues - well, most political issues...

I think there was some thought that with the longer delay they were going to make a more substantial change ... but I thought the last official word from Disney was that Trump would get a speaking line it was just taking a while to get the schedules lined up, etc. (though, obviously that could all be a work)

I agree - they would still take some heat now from some for not letting Trump speak when they let the last presidents speak, but at least it would be over and done with and not be an issue in the future as well

On my last 2 WDW trips I have done the HEA Dessert Party with the Plaza Garden viewing. To me, this is well worth the cost. Just for the fact that I don't have to stake out a spot in the Hub or anywhere else for an hour or so. Both times the Plaza Garden was not full. I think people have finally realized the Tomorrowland Terrace option does have some obstruction for the projections on the castle.

I would like to have sat down for the last time I was there in October, but it was rather rainy. Even with a poncho it would have been miserable to sit down.

Finally saw Thor. Very good. Very funny and works well. Not my favorite Marvel movie but its definitely up there.

Right with you there, had a blast watching it, but not one of my top Marvel films

Agreed, it's a nice alternative. One party night it drizzled off and on and the party CMs were giving people the Disney ponchos for free. That was a great touch because I think they're $10+ in the store each.

Yeah. And cost Disney about $.05 to produce so they don't really lose anything by doing it. Shipping the things from China probably cost more than production...

Lol yup, which is why I'm happy to take one for free. It's that insane profit margin that they really enjoy the most.

I think it was a Frozen theme there last year...could this mean that we, who are not Frozen Fanatics, may be getting a little break??

I highly doubt that, what with the new short coming out in a few weeks, then there will be the sequel.

People aren’t exactly thrilled with the 21 minute short in front of Coco. Not that it’s bad but it’s 21 minutes in front of a movie. Many theaters in Mexico stopped showing the short.

Wait... theres a 21 min short IN ADDITION to 20 mins of previews?

We rode quite a few buses and never saw this. I seriously doubt they pay for a second person to be on each bus. The bus drivers haven't been talking for awhile though.

I agree about paying a 2nd person for each bus. But it still makes me wonder what the purpose of the "Bus comedian" was.

Yep.
