News Round Up 2018

I guess that’s the consolation prize for not having the Night of Joy.

No Night of Joy? Any particular reason?

 

[mikepizzo]

Yes - it's true. But also Cameron has almost made entirely hugely successful (and mostly quite good) movies...so I hate to assume new Avatar movies will fail.

One thing that gets very little mention is that they are actually only shooting two of the movies, and then depending on how those first two go they shoot the other two.[/QUOTE]

I don't think the Avatar movies will fail.

His movies have definitely been successful, and I wouldn't classify then as bad, but at the same time I've always felt that his stories are so simple.

They are just too predictable to me. Visually stunning, sure, but story-wise...I'm not so sure.

Not really known.

I had to unfriend alot of nerd FB pages like nerdist. They can't keep spoilers out of their headlines. I don't get to see avengers until Friday since I have a 5 year old's bedtime.

I know Cameron usually makes good movies, but the new Avatar movies scare me. Usually, adding kids as a central focus to movies that were adult oriented in the past does not work. Examples: Zorro and The Mummy, maybe not everyone enjoyed those movies but I did, until they added kids to the sequels.

I'm so excited that they announced the Eat to the Beat concerts, but can I be super bummed that we will be missing Hanson by a week

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

Really feel like I need to avoid the internet until after Infinity War on Thursday night.....the struggle is going to be real.

We're seeing it next Tuesday avoiding spoilers is not going to be easy

I think it’s pretty similar. Biggest change is probably dates offered as those change from year to year.

 

[Mr. lncredible]

I believe the contemporary was included last year.

 

[rteetz]

I believe the contemporary was included last year.

Do you mean excluded? It is included this year according to that article.

 

[Mr. lncredible]

Do you mean excluded? It is included this year according to that article.

No I meant it was included last year. Article says it is excluded this year.

 

[rteetz]

No I meant it was included last year. Article says it is excluded this year.

Sorry I read it wrong.

Ok, time to ask for the whereabouts of the "group" lists for big groups/events coming to WDW. Looks like the week after Thanksgiving is a free dining week then it takes one week off the first of December then back on. We just happen to be going the one week inbetween. This tells me something is going on that week. Anybody have a clue or can point me to the list? TIA

Pop Warner week is the first week in December. We went year before last. It was fine. DHS got a little crowded in the afternoons, especially later in the week. Didn't even notice the rest of the weekdays.

That’s Pop Warner week. We went that week in 2016. It’s not the nightmare a lot of people make it out to be, or at least wasn’t in our experience.

 

[Lee Matthews]

Free Dining, the biggest and best deal which isn't really a deal at all. Gotta love it

but it probably will influence where we stay.....Anybody know the resorts all the Pop Warner kids are scheduled to stay at this year?
