News Round Up 2019

[Phicinfan]

not saying that will happen but would be interesting if they reference more explicitly any of those linkage stories between the films. Supposedly when their parents were shipwrecked they were traveling to attend Rapunzel and Flynn's wedding which is why they in turn show up in Arendelle for the coronation ceremony

Thus all the Tarzan jokes, as I believe the picture in Tarzan of his parents look exactly like Frozen parents - and were shipwrecked. Its all a reach, and sometimes I feel this is just the animators having fun...but it is interesting.

Any idea of the actual dates?

Not sure. It’s not closing so it will just be reduced capacity like Toy Story Mania a while back.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Maybe Ariel will show up and help her

You know honestly if Disney were smart that's what they'd do. Look at all the internet ruckus over the princesses being in wreck it Ralph together.

Just start doing crossover movies and watch the money roll in.

oh, definitely - though that does look a lot like Rapunzel (after her hair was cut) in Frozen - but do agree that most likely just the animators having fun and putting in little Easter Eggs that don't man much in the big picture

Tower of Terror to run at lower capacity through spring and summer for refurbishment.

https://www.wdwmagic.com/attraction...-at-reduced-capacity-due-to-refurbishment.htm

Thankfully it’s staying open throughout, being able to refurb one side at a time let’s us experience the ride still and allows it to get the attention it needs.
It also says that Fastpasses will be greatly reduced for it.

I get the need, and I am thankful it isn't closing entirely.

But the selfish part of me wants it at full capacity when I'm there so I can ride it several times.

They’ll start the crossover movies after the current live-action trend stops becoming a cash cow...

LOL that theory ALWAYS drives me crazy (that Tarzan is the child of Anna/Elsa's parents). It's not even a reach, the treehouse has a photo of tarzan as a baby in the arms of his parents - unless the journey from Arundell was 18 months long, and his parents just *happened* to have a camera, photo paper and developing equipment on the boat with them (that somehow survived the sinking of the ship), there's no way Anna/Elsa's parents could depart Arundell and arrive in Africa with a child AND photographic evidence of them as a family LOL. Nevermind that the time periods fall about 40-50 years apart.

I am such fun at parties.

Nice! I went to Ohio State and then lived in Clintonville for several years.

Used this as my name when I was in my first year of law school and going insane so decided I was going to drag my boyfriend on his first ever Disney trip.

Funny thing is that all of the hype for the Princess inclusion in Wreck it Ralph 2 really did not do much for overall box office. I thought for sure the princess boost was going to send it soaring but finishing less than 10 Million above the originals domestic and up 23 Million worldwide had to have been much lower than they were expecting.
