It’s online now too.

Thanks to you and @TheMaxRebo - I think I'll have to have that.

They are different colors.

Rose gold has been around for a while too. When I got engaged in 2012 it was making a comeback in jewelry. And it def pre-dates the Mickey ears

Here's rose gold mickey ears for example (tone of color will depend on lighting):

That would be bubblegum pink or preppy pink to me...I'm 44 - is that a millennial?

I'm technically a millennial and since I didn't even know about the actual name for the color before the post I would have described it as light pink too lol

$300 per target gift card transaction correct?...so you had to check out 19 times?

Did it work? I couldn't use the target gift cards on that promo day so I would be worried about not being able to test it before fully committing.

Sure did!! We went in the morning to return an item and I asked the CSR "how the 10% off gift cards worked." He said it was one per person. I had my sons and husband with me and he let each of us buy one. Then we went to the camera dept, self-checkout, and the register and got 3 more. We hit up two other Targets that day and my husband and got two more each from each store. Then we went back later in the afternoon and evening and did it again. A few times, we hit up multiple cashiers/self-checkouts. Then got one online.

I've been redeeming them this week, $600-$900 at a time, for Disney gift cards. There's no restriction on how many Disney GCs you can buy, but I don't feel comfortable carrying around that much cash with me so I'm breaking it up a bit.

BREAKING: New Details Revealed for Guardians of the Galaxy Ride at Epcot, Coaster Will Not Feature Inversions

Kind of what I expected. With no coaster at EPCOT, I didn't expect the first one to be too thrilling. But I'm not real enthused by "a modern take on Space Mountain." Space Mountain is badly in need of becoming a modern take on Space Mountain.

I must say the ride itself doesn't seem that inventive or first of it's kind or anything like they were saying at the announcement at D23 so a bit disappointed about that. I was definitely expecting some animatronics and stuff like that and doesn't appear to be any - even in the pre-shows - so that too is disappointing

That doesn’t sound great, I figured this would be a Rock’n level thrill ride since they don’t really have a thrill ride in epcot, and I thought Ratatouille was going to be the family attraction.

That MB is the new hotness...at least as far as MBs can be. That's a ballet pink though if I've ever seen one, they could call it "you're not a [insert whatever swear word you enjoy] princess, Amber pink" and I'd still love it. Now if they'd make a plain black one...

Thanks to you and @TheMaxRebo - I think I'll have to have that.

I'm going to take a black sharpie, or even black spraypaint to a previous MB to see how it comes out.

If you'd like to see how that looks before you order one (if you haven't ordered one yet) let me know and I can PM you the results.

 

[sachilles]

It's hardly enough info to form any opinion. I'm thinking it's going to be rockin rollercoaster like more than anything, but without full inversion.

If it doesn't go upside down I may just be able to ride it. Depends on how steep of a drop or drops it has though.

Sounds like peeps wanted a more thrilling experience..my husband would agree...but I'm optimistic that I'll be able to ride it instead of crossing it off my list.

That's kind and I do want to see it, but it's already purchased.

 

[eXo]

That's not quite right, eXo. As dina444444 notes, some networks do merely distribute some of their shows.

You left out the part of my quote where I said "No major broadcast network".

By major broadcast network I am talking about ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox. What cable channels do is irrelevant to a conversation about the inability for ABC and Fox to be under the same umbrella.

Which is interesting because I heard it would be more high tech. Maybe money is an issue again.

This could be likely. Though I'm hoping that these internal documents are just skeleton explanations and there is more to this ride. It has not really been Disney's MO to build motion based thrill rides just like ones that have come before since Thunder Mountain opened. Thunder Mountain is just like Space Mountain, but if you think of ToT, RnRC, EE, and even Test Track, each are very different from something that was previously available at WDW. I'm guessing there is more to this that just isn't spelled out. Or at least I am very much hoping. It is going to be a huge queue building though. UofE was massive in and of itself.

Personally I'd rather they spend what $ they can on making a new, amazing, innovative ride than multiple pre-shows, etc. (especially if those pre-shows are screen based)

I don't think there is enough information to judge this ride. Honestly, it looks like it could be a lot of fun and is a much needed ride for Epcot. While there is not a lot of wow factor on this announcement, there is no dissatisfiers either. It sounds like yes, this could be fun and needed for future world.
