It gives you a chance to buy park exclusive things you otherwise would have no chance to buy if you didn't have a trip coming up. I'm not really a fan of things being limited edition or park exclusive. I don't understand the appeal of it being rare, nor do I get upset because more are released making the thing I own less special. Why do I care if someone else has something else I have? I just want it myself. I've never bought anything from a reseller, but if there was something I REALLY wanted in the parks, I would be thankful for them.

It IS annoying that people who actually want them aren't able to get them in the parks because resellers wipe them out. But Disney could fix that in a number of ways. Increase supply. Increase price. Make them available online. Limit customers to 1-2 of each item. But if they don't implement any of these things to increase supply, lower demand, or increase availability, resellers are your only shot. I don't really blame them.

No, it's over a $20 mark up, plus shipping. I don't need it that bad.

I don't understand why people thought this wouldn't be the case. Disney isn't new to R-Rated movies. Disney owned Miramax Films from 1993 - 2010. Miramax owned Dimension Films as well. So any R-Rated movie released by Miramax or Dimension during that time was essentially released by Disney. I don't think we will ever see the Disney logo before an R-Rated movie, but that doesn't mean they would turn down the opportunity to make money.

It wouldn't be hard to bring Deadpool into the MCU if they wanted to. His standalone movies would remain rated R and under the Fox name. If they wanted to bring him into an MCU film, it would be PG-13 and they could have a ton of fun with it. Have Deapool keep getting cut off when he is about to swear, he keeps getting frustrated that he can't curse, break the 4th wall regarding the lack of blood/gore, etc. It can actually be fun. And that's pretty much what they do when Deadpool crosses over into other characters comics.

I had heard that there was a Deadpool script out there that was PG-13. The story was that Deadpool woke up one day and all of his curse words were bleeped, nudity was blurred, etc. Being aware of this his mission was to hunt down the writers of the film and kill them. The whole movie culminating to using their sole F-word allowed at the end. That sounds like some good ol' meta fun to me.

No, I don't think there is any way they get Deadpool at PG-13 again. They just re-released Deadpool 2 for the holidays at PG-13 - so it does have a market as it did well, but I am pretty sure director and Main star said they would NOT do a PG-13 version and if you don't have Ryan Reynolds you don't have Deadpool.

I also don't believe you won't see R rated in MCU. Per many reports one version of script for Black Widow movie is rated R. Now that being said, they may market an adult type Marvel area to cover for this

Maybe you can keep your eye on it on the app - sometimes things seem to become available later. On time when we went for F&G, there were some glasses (for a gift) and a mug (of course) that I wanted but decided not to buy. When I went home, I changed my mind but they were "In Store Only," but eventually they were available.

Right, but I saw reports that the guest lost his arm completely and other reports that it was just severely injured. I'm just saying we don't really know for sure other than that a guest was injured and they had to shut the ride down for inspections. Is it back open now?

We were there the day it happened and saw the helicopter waiting to take the patient away as we arrived at TL. As expected, CMs were just saying that the ride was closed at the moment. Still not 100% sure what happened although the injury report did seem to indicate it was not an amputation.

The ride has not reopened since the accident happened on Dec 8, 2018. Typhoon Lagoon is currently closed for it's annual refurbishment. It's anticipated that Miss Adventure Falls will reopen after the refurbishment but we won't really know for sure until then.

I was just stating that I had heard a PG-13 script for Deadpool existed, and to me it sounded quite entertaining. Not that Ryan Reynolds would be down to do it. I'm also not saying that any Deadpool standalone movie would hit theaters as PG-13. I'm talking about crossovers, if they wanted to and everyone agree'd.

I expanded my thoughts in another post. Disney doesn't need to release a movie in order for it to be in the MCU. Spider-man: Homecoming is prime example. So they can release R-rated MCU movies, I just don't think you'll ever see the Disney logo appear before an R-rated movie.

One of those dates is a day I've alloted for our trip to the dark side in September. I think dh would love it but I'm super super scared of stuff so I don't know if my heart could take HHN!

I am also a super scaredy cat but made it through 3 nights last year, if that helps :) It was a really fun event, more fun than I anticipated!
 
I don't know where to ask this as it's just guesses at this point but I thought you all would be better guessers than others...

I have never booked a trip before packages/prices were out. I'm booked room only for 2020 at the highest rate for my category for 2019 (think that's how it works). When the rates come out for 2020, my cost adjusts itself for room only.

I've never paid attention to increases before and I'm planning for a 15% increase due to not knowing how Galaxy's Edge will affect room rates. Do you think that's too low?

I know just guesses, but it helps me budget. :)

I don't think you will see a 15% increase. I don't think they will raise prices significantly at the Epcot resorts. I expect if anywhere it would be Pop/AoA/CBR that sees a large boost. While Boardwalk is a reasonable walk to DHS - I don't think that its marketed that way and I doubt folks will be jumping on it.

I would also watch for discounts - I would be surprised if you really have to pay rack rate on those resorts even post SW:GE opening.

That would be great if I actually found a discount! I'm planning for worst case scenarios, but I appreciate your post as it's a more positive outlook. :)

I guess. Never really thought about it like that. I think of it as a chain of good ice cream that happens to be at Disney.

And apparently working with Disney? 817277F7-189B-452F-A68C-854F03C6EBB0.jpeg
Wondering if they are available in Disney? I got mine at the Mickey exhibit in NYC.

The only in parks thing is SUPER annoying. It’s like 80% of the shop parks app. I was there last week and wanted a spirit jersey but hemmed and hawed on it and then when I got home regretted not getting one— can’t order. Boo.
