News Round Up 2017

[sachilles]

I see, thank you. Skrim just seemed kind of tall for what I remember being there. Must be forced prospective or something.

 

[rteetz]

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)

Correct

$6.99

On a side note, needed a card at WL and it was $69. Did have some kinda Mickey ears or something but come on.

Great trip but still super hot after the storm.

Highlights were Baby Groot-had a great interaction with those 2-hilarious, all of Pandora, D Springs and F&W.

Oh and HEA is beyond amazing. Went to that 4 times-twice to MK just for that-crowded though for good reason.

Amazing amount of cranes and shovels going at it down there. Gonna be amazing.....er.

We are planning on using the Minnie Vans a couple of times during our trip over Halloween week, but a REALLY hope they roll this program out to all the Mods by March 2018. so my trip with 4 others will be able to utilize the convenience!

Thanks, I hadn't really thought about the views from the Skyliner. Much better than a boat or bus in that regard.

 

[Bay Max]

Interesting, many have really liked maxpass so far.

It would be great if there was consistent internet available in the parks. Or at least cell phone data.

I've never gone over my data limit until this month. All of it at DL.

That makes sense. Wifi at the DLR has always been an issue.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

I didn't even try to use Wifi at WDW. My battery was already getting drained like none other thanks to the MDE app. It's a good thing we brought portable chargers.

I didn't have too many issues with wifi during my summer trip this year.

Rumor Round Up anyone?

So they share this regarding Epcot:

"The U.K. pavilion is said to get that new attraction in time for the 50th anniversary, according to WDWMagic sources. Those sources have also said the ride will be centered around a Disney intellectual property, and that it is not Mary Poppins."​

If it is not Marry Poppins, do we assume Alice? Are there other options that might fit which I might have missed?

 

[AnnaKat]

apparently in a surprise "drop" - new Bambi Dooney and Bouke's released to celebrate the movies 75th anniersary:

The satchel is pretty darn cute

Absolutely adorable!
Still need to see the Movie!

I heard someone somewhere (I know that's not great info) say that it was possibly Brave. It seems that if you take Mary Poppins out of the mix, that Alice, Sword in the Stone, and Brave are all pretty much even steven as far as popularity goes.

It was in the rumor tracking thread - from Spirit and another insider that it is Brave. Unless you go really obscure like Bedknobs Broomsticks or something, it's probably Brace, Alice or Sword in the Stone if not Poppins

There are several IPs it could be. Alice is one, Brave is another, 101 Dalmatians, and Sword in the Stone.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I continue to say that if you do an attraction for 101 Dalmatians that is literally just a room fully o 1010 dalmatian puppies that you get to play with it would be the most popular attraction in the park

I didn't even think about 101 dalmatians.

But put me down for bedknobs and broomsticks.

"Hop on your bed, grab your blasters and fight the Nazis...."

And if there's water squirting out of the floor at some juncture, it's a 3 hour wait.

And then you can have your "exit gift shop" where they sell off the puppies as they get too old, and less adorable - of course at a Disney premium - it is a money making machine!
