Ha!

I actually rather Mondays as it means there is hope of news. The weekends there is no hope of big news

I'd be interested to hear if you succeed. We're not going until April so it's anybody's guess by that point. If I can't order at Primo Piatto I guess we'll just have to go to Topolino's LOL!

I would highly recommend Bar Riva on the bottom floor out by the kids splash area. They have a nice little menu and it is indoor/outdoor with heat and air. Nice place to spend a few hours.

I'll have to check that out too!

Good morning! Not sure if everyone is aware, but the 50th Anniversary items were up for sale this morning. I am happy, I got the Spirit Jersey I wanted!

2 Item Limit In Place in WDW Shops

Slows some of it down for the 50th Merch in the shops. ShopDisney had a 10 item limit except for the D23 pin.

They need to crack down on that 10 item limit. No one needs 10 of anything unless you are a scalper.

yes! I wanted just ONE 50th pin. Sold out already online and l just went to Disney and not going back soon so no hope to buy one…

I tried searching for this and I apologize if this is the wrong forum but the folks here are usually the most helpful. Is there a timeline on when the Epcot construction will be completed?

I had one in my cart but didn't press 'buy' fast enough

The short answer is no.

There are so many different "construction" projects at EP. Harmonious and Remy's Ratatouille will be open on or about October 1st. The GOTG attraction will hopefully open in 2022. Interestingly, I haven't seen or heard anything concrete about the new Play pavilion area. It was supposed to open this year. I don't have a clue when it will be ready for the public. Probably not until late 2022 or 2023?

SE is rumored to go down for a lengthy rehab and no closure date was given (the first closure date was in 2020 but WDW/COVID shut downs appear to have changed those plans). I wouldn't be surprised if the entire ride system needs to be replaced as it is 40 years old already so I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it was closed for 18 months. Just spit balling.

The World Celebration area needs a lot of work still and is scheduled to be opened in phases. It is a major construction zone as the refurbishment of the Innovations building is being completed. WDW said this summer that the new gift shop, club cool, and coffee joint (?) will open. No firm date was given. I could be mistaken. There are open space areas that aren't close to being finished like Dreamer's point and the Moana inspired walking path. If you want to see all of these things completed, including SE being back up and running, then I would suggest Summer 2023.

Thank you!!

I was told the permanent Starbucks would be going in where the temporary Mousegear is now so I’m thinking that won’t open til fall.

Anyone know if the merch is available at Disney Springs or any of the parks other than MK?

Hoping since the magicbands & grey t-shirts are in the parks, they may still show up on shopDisney.

edit: I like the slider on the magicband

 

[bookgirl2632]

With supply chain issues, I hope they have a steady supply coming. I’m going in October and I won’t be happy if there is nothing left because they started selling it now.
