News Round Up 2017

We got "lucky" once... space mountain was down, all lights on, and peoplemover stopped RIGHT inside! Snapped a bunch of photos... we thought it was cool to see it all.

Then you saw why it needs to be knocked down and rebuilt once this tron thing goes up?

"This likely means that the restaurant is in basement of The Edison, replacing the long rumored “Neverland Tunnels” and “Walt’s Lounge” concepts originally meant for this space."

Well that's disappointing. Especially since I really don't like Italian food.

If true...that's such a punt.

And does nothing to take the mall sheen off the pleasure island mall...yik

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that an Obi-Wan standalone film is (very early) in the works, with Stephen Daldry in talks to direct.

Well...typical...but also stupid.

His story has been "written" from about age 20 or so...
...Kathy Kennedy is starting to look more and more like a mouthpiece everyday...more of a product slave than George.

No wonder we get less and less from Disney!

It's either that...

...or them cutting product while charging more to pay for Stephen A Smiths contract...

Thanks for the picture. Kind of on both sides of the fence; I think bringing home a few toiletries is nice but on the other hand all the plastic winding in our land fills is troubling.
I have never been near this though...

I think it depends on if you take them home or leave them at the resort, if you do Disney participates in Clean the World which means that all the soaps etc are taken and recycled and given to people in areas where it is needed internationally https://cleantheworld.org/

The entire conversation was about hoarders taking them home hence the two photos and link I provided. Not every single state, city or township participate in recycling. I know for a fact some areas in Colorado do not.

It's nice to know Disney does this though.

You know, I've really enjoyed this thread. Sitting down every morning sipping on my cup of java but some of the comments are such a downer like this one. It has nothing to do with the actual conversation. True, our opinions are welcomed but it doesn't mean that you need to comment so negatively on every topic. Please refrain. I'm sure you're an awesome person but I just want the news.

Man...is this me being "put into my place"?

Oh...that's terrific!!! I've been waiting for so long!!!

Ok...now that that's over with:

Yes, people lifting shampoo and putting pictures of it are both silly and distasteful...so I agree that's wrong.

But...disney has chosen to operate hotels. And providing shampoos to those paying astronomical rates at hotels is a time honored tradition...

And...implying that somehow they have been "losing" any significant revenue on shampoo is a bit of a stretch. They are not...the place is a high fee gold mine and they don't need us to ever say "poor disney"...as in ever...like seriously.

Enjoy the coffee...I'm
More of an earl grey cat

Stephen A: While I do find this problematic, troublesome and erroneously laborious, I categorically have to disavow myself from these proceedings, as I am a close personal friend of Mr. Bob Iger ... and by close personal friend I mean someone on I seen on television but never actually met!!

You're so witty! You always make me smile!

Then why not rent a car? IF Disney were to provide this service, it would surely be more than the cost of renting a car, because otherwise EVERYONE will want to use it, and then you're back to waiting on Disney transportation...

It would have to come with a driver........that could get pricey....

Meh. Reminded me a bit of roller coasters I rode as a kid... adds to the feeling of danger that it looks a tad... unstable??

...unless you use Uber/Lyft...and we've come full circle.

Correct Walt's is dead.

Homecomin', Boathouse, Marketplace Co-Op, Uniqlo, D-Luxe, Frontera Cocina, Polite Pig.

 

[umichigan10]

I disagree.

Seconded. I mean it's a shopping center but it's always been a shopping center. It's some different stores and decent food options as well (and it was a boat ride from old key west which was a plus)
