Wow! We just did a Trafalgar Rome tour for 11 days, 10 Nights - Rome, Amalfi, Florence, Venice - and it cost the same as this 3-night in Rome. I know ABD is way nicer - Farewell Dinner at the Vatican Museums -Oh my! - but I can't even consider ABD at their price point.

I was wondering what the "real" going rate for those types of trips were. It's almost been 20 years (yeesh) since my first Italy trip and I gotta say, 6k+flights per person sounded crazy steep even for inflation. Glad to see Disney as usual is just the crazy outlier.
 
I use Xfinity and I watch the Bachelor (I know.) And I missed this week because of my trip but when I went to watch it on On Demand (as I normally do), I suddenly have to pay for the episodes! Is there something happening between Comcast and Disney right now? (lol I mean that would effect this)

It’s not a perfect comparison by my wife and I are doing the DIS Viking cruise around Italy and it was ~$5,400 for both of use which included the entire week, all meals (including wine) and an excursion at each port. So yeah, Disney is a bit pricey :D

Imagineer Larry Nikolai has retired from WDI after 28 years. He worked on books such as Poster Art of the Disney Parks, and Maps of Disney Parks. He worked on attractions such as Splash Mountain, Sinbads, TDL Arabian Coast, Haunted Mansion, Small World Holiday, and The Little Mermaid.
 
not complaining or anything, but any reason as to why was it given?

Could also have to do with spoilers. Probably a less likely reason but here's what I'm thinking.

Disney set two different release dates. People who follow the MCU very closely know there's bound to be something huge that's going to change the MCU (which Disney has alluded to). Disney then moves the release date and speculation is because of the spoilers that could happen. This makes people even more interested because, "Well if the spoiler is big enough to warrant a move in release date then it must be something even bigger than we can imagine, I better go see it opening day".

But I'm sure it's more likely that they want one Deadpool 2 free week and to try to not compete so much with Solo.
 
The insult to injury, this year they didn’t let guests in as early as previous years. I know the official start time is 7:00 pm. I’m glad they let us in at 6:00. But when they let guests in at 4:00 the last two years, one can’t help but be a little disappointed.
With so many parties and after hours events I feel like soon we are going to get to the point that Disney's regular admission is only going to be for a day time ticket. You will have to pay extra to be there at nights..... especially in Magic Kingdom.

So far the songs seem to fit really well. This was a fun song and the first one I though musically was great (even if some of the lyrics were a bit cliche)

I probably prefer “Monster” to this song, but this song screams more “Frozen” to me. The cheesy lyrics and everything about it. It definitely took me 2 or 3 listens to get into this song, but I think it is a strong duet.

I hope Disney Theatrical put a slow ballad duet in the musical. That’s what I would really like to hear.

according to the D23 newsletter the two remaining songs are: “Dangerous to Dream,” a new interior monologue sung by Elsa; and “True Love,” a new Act Two solo for Anna.
