For some reason, it just occurred to me just how stalker-like Disney fans are... ... "look... *gets out the binoculars*... I think they've started plumbing prep..."

Given that this JUST occurred to me -- something obvious, I'm sure, to the average person -- says something about me, I guess... :laughing:

LOL - yup! Me too!

I'm guessing many of us on this thread in particular fit that description perfectly! :rolleyes1

I look at it a little differently (not that you aren't pretty correct in your statement though). I am at the point I like peeking behind the curtain and see the backstage aspect of things. I am not worried about the "magic" being tarnished. It is really cool being able to track things from the beginning and see how things progress and are finally realized.

I know this is said with humor - but stalking a construction site isn't exactly the same thing as stalking a person. But we are pretty crazy when you look at the real world. A friend of mine sent me texts this week that basically said: "The gondolas are on the line at DHS" and then later that night "They've taken them all off the line again." Who but us bunch of nuts would care about such things.

OH - and by the way, they are loading and unloading the DHS gondola line every night. I always assumed they would leave the cars on overnight, but perhaps this will not be the case.

Good question, don't know for sure. WDWNT article says "commemorative version" and "souvenir version". I've already sent an e-mail to Disney guest services, I'll post info when I receive a response. I have a photo of mine and the serial number, hope that helps them locate the one I have at the Magic Kingdom entrance.

I would guess that some people who purchased the bricks will not be aware of their removal until it's too late to purchase a "commemorative" version. If they're not plugged into a Disney fan site, they're not going to know until a future trip. I'm guessing Disney will not send out any info on this development to people who purchased the bricks.

Here's the e-mail I received from WDW Guest Relations, the info doesn't say if the commemorative version is a duplicate of the brick you initially paid for. Appears that the commemorative brick can't be ordered until the end of April.

Thank you for being a valued Guest and a sponsor of “Disney’s Walk Around the World” brick program.

Here at the Walt Disney World Resort, we are committed to enhancing the overall Guest experience at all of our Theme Parks. As part of these ongoing updates, the personalized hexagonal bricks from the “Disney’s Walk Around the World” program will be retired as we literally pave the way for the future. Work will begin in front of Magic Kingdom Park and the Transportation and Ticket Center first and the remaining bricks will be retiring in future phases. While the “Disney’s Walk Around the World” program was only initially planned to be on display until 2011, we hope our Guests and sponsors enjoyed the time they have had to display their bricks.

Since these bricks were not designed to be removed individually, they will not be available to take home. Instead, Guests who sponsored a brick may purchase a commemorative version to have. This promotion code allows the original sponsor to purchase the commemorative version at a special price of $10 plus tax and shipping:

Your promotion code*:

This one-time use promotion code can ONLY be used for orders placed on shopDisney, once it is released on shopDisney at the end of April. Please note, this code will only be valid for shopDisney and may not be redeemed in person at our Theme Parks, Disney Springs, or any other Disney retail location.

Thank you again for your sponsorship and we look forward to sharing more updates regarding the ongoing enhancements in the future.

Best Regards,

Guest Experience Services
Walt Disney World Resort

*Promotion code expires August 31, 2019. Cannot be used in combination with any other offers or discounts on the commemorative brick. Code has no cash value and may not be sold or transferred. Not valid on previous purchases. We reserve the right to reject any personalization request for any reason in our sole discretion. Once personalized, your commemorative brick order is non-cancellable, non-refundable, and non-returnable. Offer subject to change without notice. While supplies last.

Yes -- I've always been into behind the scenes stuff -- how they MAKE the magic has always been cool to me. (we're still weird as compared to the avg. person ;) )

Yes - said with humor. And yes, we are pretty crazy. ;)
 
Just watched 3/4s of Avengers Infinity Wars on Netflix and quit. Really? I'm a vet of Star Wars, Star Trek including Wrath of Khan, Superman of the 80s with all its sequels and goodness knows however many scifi spinoffs and prequels. What a dark, nasty, disappointment. Truly hoping nothing in WDW or DL spun off from this film. Yikes and SOS.

I hear ya, but remember that it's basically part 1 of a 2-part movie. Endgame will pretty much redeem everything, imo.

I rather enjoyed it, though far from perfect

Have you liked other MCU movies?

Wow thats a rather unpopular take. I loved it. Not my favorite marvel film but still quite good. I can't wait for Endgame.

That's too bad you didn't enjoy it.

Myself and pretty much everyone I know feel it's the greatest movie ever made. Absolutely amazing cinematic accomplishment. Watched it again on the weekend for about the 10th time.

Curious, how long did it take guest services to respond back to you with the code?
