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

I have the giggles this morning as well!! I thought that gif was perfect, too!!

Sneak Peek! Exclusive Merchandise and Enchanting Memories Await Aboard the Disney Wish



The Disney Wish will feature an elegant retail district that runs between the Grand Hall and the Walt Disney Theatre on deck 3. On either side of this shop-lined promenade, five distinct venues will offer exclusive Disney merchandise and luxury gifts like jewelry, watches and accessories.

One of these shops, Treasures Untold, will be your go-to destination for signature Disney Cruise Line collectibles, including our largest selection of Pandora Jewelry ever, plus limited-time Artist Spotlight collections and guest-favorite Dooney & Bourke handbags. (Check out the new Disney Wish inaugural design on the tote bag!)

In a new location on deck 5, returning Disney cruisers will find a familiar sight: Mickey’s Mainsail, a fleet mainstay filled with Disney Cruise Line-themed souvenirs and gifts, plus even more Disney Wish exclusives — like the special-edition Loungefly mini-backpack and headband above. And on the upper decks, Dory’s Forget-Me-Knots will feature swimwear, water-play gear and fun graphic tees inspired by favorite Disney stories.

It seems like you can. I almost booked and it was going to let me get 4 tickets at the DVC price even though my kids aren't on the contract (was purchasing 4 adult tickets since they're disney adults. )

Do they honestly think people were sitting around for 2 years waiting for DisneY to recall them???

It's like your ex dumping you and then calling you 2 years later to see if you want to move in together.

Doesn't cost much to try, I guess.

Well, it's my understanding that CMs were brought back to work by seniority - they may have worked at one job before the lay offs, and when jobs were being filled again, they were asked to come back into those. Perhaps some of the CMs that were MV drivers came back into other jobs, and would jump at the chance to be drivers again, so.... who knows.

Surely some of them may have moved on, though.

I see it as a curtesy, if I had been told that I would have a chance to get my job again after reopening and Disney never contacted me I would be upset even if I had a better job now. Regardless of cast members accepting the offer or not, at least asking them is the right thing to do before replacing them.

Rehearsals Underway for New Finding Nemo Show at Animal Kingdom, Disney Eyes Late Spring Opening

Cast Members shared the news that rehearsals began this week on social media. In addition to sharing the news that rehearsals had begun, the Broadway Bradshaws Instagram account also shared that rehearsals would last a month or two before the show debuts. It’s possible that Disney is looking to target a late-May opening for the show in conjunction with a second-half launch of the 50th Anniversary celebration.

I got our tickets for h2o glow super easy this morning for July 2nd. So happy I was able to do it on the website instead of the awful wait times anymore calling Disney for anything. We are excited it was reasonably priced. We did a similar party when it was the start of DVC moonlight magic events years ago and had a blast.
