I wanna see infinity war again, but between Deadpool (which I saw this weekend) solo, and the incredibles, there’s too many movies I need to see on the first run to justify a second time around

I saw it twice but agree with you. There are so many movies coming out this summer I can't keep up. Jurrasic World Fallen Kingdom is in there as well.

Deadpool2 is going to be a multiple rewatch for me (just like the first) - maybe not in the theater, but definitely when it's on HBO - but I can't say the same for Infinity War. I saw it, and I'm good with seeing it, but ... I'm good.

I'm excited for Jurassic World, but that's probably also going to be a one-timer for me as well.
 
That is a curious point, about so many movies coming out that are Disney owned.

Solo comes out this week and will probably take alot of money out of avengers coffers.

Then a couple weeks later comes Incredibles 2, then ant man. Little chance of movies rolling with no competition for a long time like Titanic, hunger games 1 or even black panther.

I've always wondered why movie studios don't release bigger movies during the down times, like January- March. I'm not sure if bad northern weather scares them away, but I don't think it should. Imagine avengers opening in January work no real competition of any kind until maybe April. That's what the first hunger games did, was released in March and look how well that did.

I was really curious as to why they are having Solo coming out now vs December when all the other recent Star Wars movies came out - obviously they did fine (I know people will argue that what TLJ was a disaster but come'on, it made a ton of $) and would have less competition and not take away from Infinity Wars, etc

Who knows. I think it might have been to align with the original star wars' anniversary/release date. But not sure why that matters.

This will come in very handy....on one trip we lost a Walkie-Talkie on Space Mountain, and I have to say, the amount of time and effort of going to the TTC Lost and Found office to try to find it was MUCH greater than the value of it....

Wow, blast from the past. I remember when we had those little walkie talkie's back before everyone had a cell phone. We used them in the parks too.

They had originally wanted to move the movies back to a May release - but I believe that with JJ Abhrams taking over episode IX they ended up pushing the Episode IX date back to December 2019 instead of the original targeted May 2019.

The interesting thing is right now there is only ONE SW movie on the release schedule after SOLO( and that's Episode IX. Have to imagine we'll be hearing something before too long. (Seems like not until SW Celebration might be a little bit long.)

We do know of movies in the works we just don’t have any dates for them as of yet. The Rian Johnson etiology for example is a set of new movies but no timeline given. We also have Star Wars movies and shows coming to the Disney streaming service.

We are getting bits and pieces about the TV shows though.

I wonder if there won't be another SW movie until 2020 at the earliest. That might help with any fatigue.

Right - we know of the existence of further plans - but no firm dates or titles. The biggest rumor of late is that the Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan movie is coming sooner than later, but again no dates. I think it's a good assumption that nothing until 2020.
 
I am more than happy with the next film being late 2020. Sure bring 9 out in late 2019 to finish that trilogy of movies but I just want them to take a break and work out properly the direction they want to go in.
 
Thought the Obi-Wan movie was in pre-production.

I tried to see Infinity Wars this weekend but still no seats available day of. Hoping to catch DP2 and Solo this week (already have Solo tickets).
 
Im curious how the landscaping will be around the riviera as well as the themeing, with it being so close to the Caribbean, is there going to be a noticeable difference in over all themeing or are they going to try and make it more congruous as the "properties" meet. The concept art really doesnt give a over all whole property idea yet.

I think "Riviera" as Americans we may immediately think "French Riviera" but my feeling is we are looking more at "Mexican Riviera" also known as the "Mayan Riviera" which would be Cancun / Cozumel / Playa Del Carmen and could fit more thematically with a Caribbean theme. I don't think Disney has come out and said this - but it just seems logical to me. There is no way that you won't be seeing the rest of CBR from any rooms on that side of the resort, so they will want to keep the theming at least relatively close.

If they want to do it as Cozumel or Cancun, then I hope they do what those tourist resorts do and have alcohol being all inclusive and have a amazing swim up bar like many of those resorts do as well. I doubt they will but hey it would be even more on point then just the architecture and paint job.
