You aren't alone. I'm sure there is progress but it's hard to spot in these pictures.

But new content drives more views, which creates ad revenue. I don't blame them for continually tracking small updates.

Man, Disney Bloggers are so good at that with headlines like "New paint on <beloved attraction sign>!", "New cups at <Disney resort>!", "Removed 'No Parking' sign at <place near Disney but not actually at Disney!".

For sure! But at least the headlines are descriptive! I know what it's about and I can choose to click or not to click. Beats the trend of: "You won't believe what's changed at this popular attraction" and you click and it's a new paint color.

I always love the ones like, "Planter removed from Italy Pavilion at Epcot." Then the next day it's, "Planter is back at Epcot's Italy Pavilion." Like, did anyone need to know any of that?

Yeah I’ll do that to some of the headlines when I post because the blogs have a tendency to title their stuff that way.

Indiana Jones Stunt Show Showtimes Change for Summer

The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular will be changing its showtimes for the (unofficial start of) summer. Beginning May 28th, the final showtime of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular will move from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Here’s a look at the changes:

Now to May 27th

• 10:45am, 12pm, 1:15pm, 3:15pm, 4:30pm

Starting May 28th

• 10:45am, 12pm, 1:15pm, 3:15pm, 6:30pm

The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular was one of the first shows to return that abandoned physical distancing, among other changes. The show returned December 19, 2021 and we have a few articles covering the return of the show.

Quoting myself:

Disney World Removes Evening Showtimes for Indiana Jones Stunt Show at Hollywood Studios

it looks like Disney ended up realizing that the showtimes were posted in error and have made some adjustments. Disney has removed the “evening” 6:30pm showtime and returned to an “afternoon” 4:30pm showtime. With Disney’s correction following our article, here’s a look at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular schedule through the end of the available calendar dates:

Now – June 7

• 10:45am
• 12:00pm
• 1:15pm
• 3:15pm
• 4:30pm

Face Masks Now Optional for Vaccinated Guests at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

We’ve got a big update from the team at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa. The Disney Resort property in Hawaii just announced that face masks are no longer required for guests outdoors and are now optional for fully vaccinated guests in most indoor locations.
Disney is advising guests that have not been vaccinated to continue to wear face coverings when indoors. In some instances, all guests may be required to wear appropriate face coverings at select indoor locations so its good to have some masks packed in your bags if heading to the resort on vacation.

It's a 2 day event that began today [3/28] and closes tomorrow. There may be some leaks later today but would assume a more definitive summary and news tomorrow. I'll be watching some of the business sites.

great, is there any news we are all hoping for

To be honest, it will be a recap of what was presented to the investors and analysts. More about the theme park's bottom [and top] lines for shareholders. What I would expect is a summary of the features generating revenue and Disney's plans to increase that revenue generation. The "plans" will give us some insight on the impact to us as consumers but I'm not anticipating anything big.

In light of the Oscars, I find this extra funny (or it could be the pre-flight sleep deprivation )
