Seems like most of that video was trying to explain how they don't need AC for them. Lets see how that works out in August.

It’s incredible to me. If I rolled my windows down in August it would only be to jump out of them because my AC is out. What are they thinking?

This is insane when you look at it all together.
Someone made a map of EVERY business Disney Co owns and its massive.
I know we mainly discuss and debate the theme parks here, but in reality, they are a very small part of the Disney empire.

Fox owned a portion of SKY and Disney had signed an acquisition agreement to buy Fox. Fox was trying to buy the rest of Sky they didn't own (Disney was involved as well since at the time Fox was independently owned but under contract to be purchased by Disney) but they lost a bidding war for Sky to Comcast (which just happens to own Universal). As part of Comcast buying Sky, Fox sold its share in Sky to Comcast so Disney and Fox no longer own any of Sky. A bit of a stretch to say they owned it as they never did..glvsav37 said:
I would add that Fox was trying to buy Sky for awhile (even before Fox and Disney deal) but that deal never happened due to Murduch stuff.

wow...I had no idea the Star Wars Hotel was this far along. Honestly, I have not heard a peep about this recently.

Apparently emails were sent out this morning to people who have reservations at one of the Disneyland hotels after the opening of Galaxy's Edge. We received an email stating that we have a reservation to visit Galaxy's Edge on June 20th from 8 AM to 12 PM. Great! Then I realize that we don't check into the hotel until late afternoon on the 20th. I scroll down the email and it has the details of our hotel reservation, which indicate that we check in on June 19th. I check the confirmation email we received when we made our hotel reservation and it confirms that the reservation starts on the 20th, not the 19th. Try calling the 888 number provided in the email received today to point out the inaccuracy and it is a constant busy signal. Wondering if they screwed things up for everyone staying at one of the Disneyland hotels?
Spent 1 hour 45 minutes on hold, then found out from the customer service rep that all of the dates they assigned (or the emails they sent out) were off by 1 day. She was able to confirm our correct reservation during the call but stated that new emails will be sent out to everyone with the correct date and time.

Looks like Rivers of light at AK is finally getting the update no one really wanted, but desperately needs.
This memorial day, they are enhancing the show to include characters and music from the Disney Nature films.
In other nighttime news, it was announced that MK will NOT have a nighttime parade for it's 50th anniversary
However, some new entertainment is being planned.
Oh and its been 925 days since MK had a regular night parade (not ones on special party nights)

IDK, MK at night just isnt the same w/o a parade. Catching that 2nd parade as your last experience of the night was always a great memory.

end of the holiday week, yea, should be, but hopefully, some people will be traveling out that day.

Went to MK for the first time in a few years. The front of the transportation center is torn up, so you have to walk a little further when you get off the trams. The new front should be nice as they haven't redone it in like 50yrs. They moved the bag checks to this point, but unless they have metal detectors and bag checks at all the monorail accessible hotels it's probably not that effective. Park wasn't too crazy, but we got there early did our 3 FP and dipped. I was at Disney Springs about a year ago, and it has been done for a while. The adjacent road construction appears to be completed as well. The area turned out great, and I love the garages. Don't park in grapefruit. Lime or orange depending on where you are going. I can't wait for the gondola's. Going to have to come back when those are done. Staying at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. Nice place, centrally located.
glvsav37
Footballguy
they did exactly that. All resort monorail stops have security checks, including the walkway from the Contemporary. It works so much better this way instead of when it was all outside the main entrance to MK and every point of access fed into there.

There are media events happening all day today at HS. So far the only major thing to come out is the announcement of a new Toy Story Themed table service restaurant.
It will be located in some unused building space just before the entrance to TS land. No word on opening dates. IMO, looks a little busy for my taste, but we shall see what it is soon enough.

well, that was....weak! I'd be pissed if I waited for that dreg.
Basically, we got a 1/2 assed parade, so self-servicing dialog, and new logo that was prob designed by an intern.

nope...just new logo. I mean it's better then the names they were considering a while back, but still a big flop.

While I agree it was lame (today’s event) - they will have completely transformed the park by EOY 2020.

Actually, now that I think about it- the bigger news from this (other than the Mickey-Minnie train ride) is that apparently Indy will be sticking around. I’m basing this on having it be a part of the parade.
glvsav37
Footballguy
their special event entertainment has really gone downhill. I would be pissed if I was there and got stuck in those crowds just for that.
They showed some clips of the original opening celebration and they had some dancers and stuff....i get that was a whole park opening, but I've been to more exciting elementary school assemblies.

yes he is, they will be taking the show off line for a year or 2 and revamping it.
I was thinking the other day, I would make that whole side of the park and Indy focused area. You have the stunt show, then (it would suck but...) take star tours out and use that main structure for a temple of some sort. Maybe do a simulator movie like Simpsons at Universal where you are in a mine car and traveling through a temple.

We are heading down to Orlando tonight for a cheer competition. Doing Universal next 2 days. Have breakfast ADRs for Saturday and Sunday and will have a lot of down time the rest of Saturday and then some Sunday. Couple of questions:
1. Anything going on on-property worth checking out - no park tickets so looking at resorts, Disney Springs. Will probably just explore Disney Springs or a couple of resorts unless there’s something worth doing
2. I have a Kona ADR - not changing that one but also have Whispering Canyon - would change that if you guys have a breakfast recommendation. Again, no park tickets so would have to be outside the parks. Several character ones but I’m not paying that - looking for decent food, cool experience and hopefully something new.

cool....If i wasnt doing the parks, I would indeed do Disney springs and check out The Void, its the VR experience. They have a Star Wars and a Wreck it Ralph experience. At night, hit up the Boardwalk and walk around that area, catch the Epcot fireworks from the bridge. Hed over to Animal Kingdom Lodge and watch the animals. You might also want to check out some of the outside WDW attractions in Orlando proper. I'm not up on all of them but some simple googling might turn up something fun.

ELP was our favorite thing to do with the kids at MK. We would sometimes hit it twice in one night. I haven't been back since they got rid of it.

Crap, I hate barbecue. At least it should take some traffic from some spots I actually do like.

Thanks - we’ve been around Disney Springs several time but always more to explore or redo - thanks for the suggestions. Any breakfast recommendation? Even if it’s - “hey, the breakfast sandwich at resort X is pretty awesome” - I don’t really want to do Whispering Canyon again.
