Mizners Lounge at Grand Floridian to close in April for refurbishment and expansion

Aw Phooey! That means double time at Territory Lounge on our Late April Moorail boat crawl extravaganza! While my wifey is not a fan of Mizners, having played the baritone, valve Trombone and some trumpet in my early years, I could sit and listen to the band for Hours!

I assume so - I know the last series was

Cool, but still not the same. Probably will check it out though.

Library of Alexandria must be burning again. Thank the Phoenicians.
Wait, is there a candle for that?

Why yes there is!

The scary thing is I actually currently own that candle ... and yes it does smell exactly like the SE scene ... (do I get a cut of the DIS promo $$ now? )

Yes, all LEGO collectible minifigure series are blind. Fortunately, if you know what to look for (there are usually unique identifying touch/feel characteristics for one or more pieces in the packet) you can usually find the ones you want. It's an exercise in patience, but can be worth it in the end. Although I believe I saw some of the Unikitty and Harry Potter/Fantastic Beast sets being double bagged, which makes it a bit more complicated to move the pieces around.

Thanks!

Funny story. When the first set came out we were at a local toy store and a man was painstakingly feeling every, single bag trying desperately to find Peter Pan. He passed 2 boxes of ones he'd checked to my daughter so that she could choose what she wanted. We laughed when we got out to the car and she got Peter Pan!

Ha - it's definitely not a foolproof method! One year I was trying to get Stitch (a fave) for my son for his Christmas stocking using the "feel" method. On Christmas morning it turned out to be Ariel, who lives among the rest of the gang in his room, but is relegated to being a bit of a back ground player. So every few days, I will place Ariel into whatever landscape is happening on the Lego table, usually a standoff between storm troopers and rebels and the like. And then the next time I look, she's back on the windowsill. This has been going on back and forth for a couple of years now. We never speak of it but it always makes me chuckle...There's quite a few in this batch he would like!

oh good - I was fearful it was just the 5 they showed in that video and felt that it would be drastically understaffed!!!

yeah, I figured the French connection (language, French quarter, history, etc.) that even though I thought Riviera was supposed be themed to the French Riviera, not anything remotely French - you could stretch to make that fit .... but Moana I was having a harder time connecting

I mean obviously the country of.... Maldonia....is on the riviera. Obviously.

Not surprising in the least.
