100 bucks for Droid seems a bit high

I was hoping the prices for the droid and lightsaber would be about half of what they are. No way I'm spending $200 for a lightsaber. Droid might have to be a consolation prize, depending on how it works.

How does one get an already assembled lightsaber home with them without breaking.

The subtitle tells the theme of the article - "For 15 years, the animation studio was the best on the planet. Then Disney bought it."
Oof. I will say that it's kind of hard to blame Disney and then turn around and say Disney Animation kind of rejuvenated itself. My take is Lasseter lost focus both through being given too much responsibility and his personal issues. And FTR, I'm fine with sequels when there's still a story to tell and they make the story relevant and/or fun. As they mention in the article Toy Story 3 really wrapped that entire story up nicely - why are we getting Toy Story 4 other than $$$? Maybe there's going to be something there that I don't expect but I don't have high hopes even though I'm sure I'll see it.

Haven’t been to Disneyland in 10 years. Is there a reason for an adult without kids at home anymore to go back? Anything new except 2X ticket prices?

Very cool PhotoPass experience coming to MK
basically, they are putting a photog with a super strong lense up on a main st building and taking a shot of you down in the hub. The pixel depth is so good that you get a full shot of the castle but you can zoom in so far to see your family

I don’t get why somebody would want this. It’s just you standing around with a thousand people surrounding you.

well, that didn't take long...
seems WDW is pretty much sold out of the specialty designed magic bands. there is a message up on the site
I really don't want to deal with him if he's the only one in the family who got shut out... looks like i'm buying him a damn full price one once we get there if that's the case. I try not to be that guy, but I bought them on the 1st day, have an order confirmation, and if it turns out that we can't get his, I'm calling guest services and demanding a discount when having to replace his by buying one on site.

we ordered ours, but i'm concerned bc on our page—for my family of 4—3 of us have the special magic band designs shown next to our name, but my 9-year-old's just shows a grey band.

Loosely wrapped around a Lion King theme (except for 1), here are some new snacks being added this summer to AK. The Dole Whip is a must try for me and the Simba ice cream cookie sandwich looks like is a fresh cookie and not the prepackaged frozen ones you can buy in at the carts.
I'm an AK fan, so this is gonna make the next trip sweeter.

that's surface of the sun hot.....and its not even summer
we've shaped our summer trip this year to be mostly PM park touring. Looking to make this a relaxing trip and spend more time at the resort.....underwater.....in the pool.

As a native of Orlando who actually likes being out in the heat, I’m not the least bit upset that my annual pass blocks out June and July. I enjoy doing things in the extreme heat, standing in lines throughout concrete jungles is not “doing things”

Of the 5 summer trips we've made to Disney over the last 9 years, by far the hottest one was the first year when we went at the end of May. We stayed at Fort Wilderness in a cabin and just waiting for the boat over to the Magic Kingdom at 8:30 AM had my shirt soaked with sweat.

It’s the worst. I refuse to do it most days now. Rather just spend the money and drive back early in the morning. Plus the hotel has a nice breakfast.

Which hotel do you use for the points? We too have a truck load of points that I didn't even know we had...all from the Sheraton merger apparently.It’s the worst. I refuse to do it most days now. Rather just spend the money and drive back early in the morning. Plus the hotel has a nice breakfast.

We are all Marriott. I love the Marriott world center. Awesome pool, great food (at least in the morning) and fancy digital temp control showers.

Good to know....isn't there a hotel or two on site or right beside it that take marriott rewards too? Best I can tell we have 3-4 weeks of points at our disposal now and that was after booking 5 days in Hawaii this june.

Was there during the bowl games and the giant TV's over the waterfalls are a nice touch. Not really a complaint, but the hotel was loaded with young athletes. Orlando has become a mecca for youth sports tournaments. Last time I was at Wyndham bonnet Creek there was a youth cheerleading competition.

Yea we stayed there a few weeks ago and watched some EPL soccer there. It’s great.

Oh yea there’s a Marriott across from Disney Springs. The JW and the Ritz are basically across from universal and take points too.

pretty good video on the new, realistic lightsabers that will be available at SWGE.
IDK if I'd drop $200 on one of these, and I'm def not showing my kids this video, but if replica lightsabers are your thing, then this is pretty bad ###
Edit: here is another one with a different, more classic SW styling

In my triumph, I pass the news on to my wife only to find out, they took their final half day away and they have to go the full day.

I’ve usually eaten so many wings and potstickers that if the steak and shrimp was bad I could just go straight to bread pudding

The wings and potstickers were good tonight! Especially the wings, they changed it up with them. Still, I’m laying out that money for good shrimp. I know the steak always sucks there for some reason.

The Dis podcast has been killing Ohana lately. The host, Pete Warner, said it's gotten to the point where he can't even recommend it anymore.Capella said:
