News Round Up 2017

The Starbucks "you are here" mugs are actually pretty fantastic...we have quite a few from the last few years...including the Disneyland and the random/elusive "purple monorail" epcot one.

I have them all as well. They are a great size and pretty durable.

A Grande is 16 oz, these mugs are a little smaller at 14 oz. I have all 4 from Disney World, and 2 from Disneyland and the mugs say they are 14 oz on the bottom.

If you have a Kurig machine its perfect for the middle size coffee.

MaxPass came back later in the day. I never heard if paper fastpass came back. If you got a MaxPass between 3-6 p.m. yesterday, most likely it was a fastpass that someone canceled...Either way, it's rare for the fastpass distribution system to go down in both parks.

I'm sorry, I should clarify. When I said I just got back, I meant a week ago. I found the Maxpass to be pretty problematic in general.

Both the Disney Website and the mobile app are having big issues. I've been trying to alter some of my FPs and dining reservation, but can't get in.

Notice on the Website states:

Error: September 24, 2017
September 24, 2017

Some of our digital experiences may be unavailable at this time. We're actively working to resolve this issue and provide the best possible Guest experience. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We were in the parks today. The app was really bad all morning and then went down around noon or so and came back at 6. Mostly a pain bc we were in DHS and trying to get a Test Track fp before hopping to epcot

Interesting, many have really liked maxpass so far.

$6.99

Hmmm...I was hoping around $3.00 max.

I was in AK today and saw the mug. There are 3 floating triangles on the other side that I think could be perceived as Pandora floating mountains.

Sorry for no pics. I'll be back there on Thursday and try then.

They've been expecting this for awhile.

There are no other teams near Orlando and that makes it near impossible.

For 15 years I refused to order by anything other than small, medium, and large. Then my kids became teens and it was too embarrassing for them.

On main street, in the magic kingdom florida, what is going on behind the skrim, on the left side of the street as you face the castle(adventureland side)? Is this the new theatre? I thought that was going on the tomorrowland side of main.

It's just renovation like painting, etc. Disney does this a lot during "off-season." Mostly meaning other than summer and maybe Christmas. Disney can still plan building renovation whenever they decide though, so they can do it during busy season as well. I have just mostly noticed it during other times of the year...Construction on the theater hasn't started yet I believe.

Yup - just regular maintenance. The theater will be going on the Tomorrowland side, but behind Main St to create a 2nd avenue for foot traffic as well (or at least this is my understanding)
