News Round Up 2017

Wondered the same thing? Both Ratatouille and Guardians of the Galaxy opening around 2021.

Disney must be using the same contractor and construction crew that built the seven dwarfs mine train!

well, they don't want everything to open at once and they have Toy Story next year and Star Wars Galaxy's Edge the year after ... and they like to spread out building costs across earnigns quarters and years

I do think Ratattouille will be sooner - especially as it is not a new ride

They also apparently should have a new ride in United Kingdom there - so not sure if they want to work on both at same time or not

I'm just nothing buy cynical lately but I read the statement about the merch being available for that day only and had to laugh. What are they going to do, burn all the stuff that doesn't get sold? I don't think so.

For the Epcot 30th merch the leftover stuff made its' way to Mouse Gear. I arrived ~ a week after the 30th and was still able to pick up a limited T-shirt that was also supposed to be only available for one day.

All we know of is the Mark Hamill tweet that has since been deleted saying to watch Monday Night Football on October 9th.

Sure hope my Bears aren't on MNF that night cause I can't stand to watch them. ARGHHHHHHH

General feeling I see is disappointment and that they are boring. Seems they are moving towards section specific mugs (guess this way sompletionists will need to buy 5 or 6 mugs for each park instead of just one)

Not surprised- Iger came out and always tempered profit expectations for next year and you know there will be a ton of expense not just with the building at the parks but also building out their streaming service. So I think shorting it over the next year or so make sense ... but then could be a good time to buy low as if their plan with the streaming works out I could see the stock jump up as that has been the big issue analysts have focused on (cord cuttters)

The satchel is pretty darn cute

Side note - shouldn't have shown these to my wife as I now have the cross body ordered as a surprise for her based on her reaction to the pattern

There was a rumor that they would be adding Pandora to the mug but apparently not.

My mom already asked if I saw these then said you know Christmas is coming....

Guess if they are doing the "land" specific theme then theoretically in the future there could be one with only Pandora on it

They are super cute. I may have dropped a hint or two about the Madame Leota bag when that one was released, but I'm not confident it was as well received

I agree. I was excited when I was told the redesign would be to include Pandora. What a shame it isn't.

I'm not to keen on area specific mugs TBH. I'm not really digging the new design (I like the tree of life icon) so I guess I'll have to look up if Amazon has the old design in stock.

*sigh*

My wife isn't as into Disney as I am - so when I see something that interests her I try to support it

The new DHS doesn’t seem completely area specific, it has the green aliens on it too.

How big are those Starbucks mugs? They look really small. Forgive me, I don't think I've ever been in a Starbucks anywhere to see one for myself.
