Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

[OKW Lover]

Are you joshing me? You’re talking about a company that makes billions in profit even when their profit goes down. Disney agreed to the raise, just not the timeframe, so it’s a weird argument to make.

Not to you specifically. I'm just saying that how much money a company makes, or doesn't make, has no bearing on what it should pay its employees.

The biggest culprits are all of us who keep paying.

I'm wondering if they will us them to post Genie+ price that day.

I doubt they will be that transparent. But, yes, whatever is on that sign will make your park experience more expensive.

I was thinking that the signs would indicate different type of entry lanes.

That appears to be exactly what they are. https://wdwnt.news/20221013001

New Passholder Entrance Signs Unveiled at Magic Kingdom​

Earlier this week, we reported seeing mysterious signs appearing at the entrances of the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. The signs, which were at eye level, featured iconography from the Walt Disney World Railroad Station and the EPCOT logo. Today, we saw the mystery sign at the Magic Kingdom was a placeholder for the new Passholder Entrance sign.

Updated Bulletin Board in Frontierland Packs Tons of Disney Film & Park References at Magic Kingdom​

Lovers of Disney’s westerns will want to “giddyup” to Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom where a bulletin board has been erected! This has been around for a bit now, but we wanted to make sure we got all the references on here right!

The board replaces a former Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom portal, which was removed in May 2021.

This board is packed with references to Disney’s western films, along with another beloved location at Walt Disney World.

Cool Ship Finally Reopens with a New Menu at Magic Kingdom​

After being closed for quite some time, Cool Ship has reopened at the Magic Kingdom.

Cool Ship has not only returned to action, but it also has a new menu. Popcorn (available on its own or in the Mickey Mummy popcorn bucket), cotton candy, and ice cream novelties replace the churros that were previously sold here.

Cinnamon-glazed nuts are also available for $5.99, though they don’t appear on the menu board.

On Sunday dress shop was there they just had the orange bird dress, parks dress, figment skirt than the color me Courtney line and a Snow White blouse and pant , the msep merch, Lilly Pulitzer and Tommy Bahama colabs

Wonderground Gallery was gone and it had a sparse collection of marvel items (dress shop captain marvel dress, spirit jerseys, wakanda forever fashion collection and marvel/halloween items (small wonderground selection in art of Disney)

It will be interesting to see what goes there but I have a feeling it will be not as unique as what was there

Oh, man, I love Marketplace Co-Op and Wonderground Gallery - they are must visits every time! I am sure they will find homes for these thigns - it looks like maybe this is just temporary as they rework some of the space.

I'm glad some of these are coming back. I have a "foodie" friend who really wants to do some of the most upscale dining, and I'm game. We alsway say that one day we'll do V&A's but he was also really really interested in Takumi Tei - when is that reopening?

Like I noted they did have a significantly smaller set up in the art of Disney store and they had one groot print in the sparse marvel set up in co op

Did I miss it, or is there still no official price listed?

Seems like a lot to ask people to book an expensive restaurant, and with a strict no-show policy, without knowing how much it will cost.

Not yet. I’m actually on my 2nd call to reservations to inquire. You can follow along here if you’d like.
