just to clarify from the guardians of the galaxy discussion earlier, the marvel theme park attractions are considered a separate continuity from the marvel cinematic universe. they mentioned this in a Q&A about mission breakout, since that also messes with canon a bit

Is the Cirque show Luzia coming to Disney Springs before the new Disney show debuts?

https://wdwnt.com/2018/06/rumor-cir...ngs-in-2019-before-new-disney-show-premieres/

I honestly thought they were going to schedule one of their touring "tent" shows for an extended run at Disney Springs for this winter. Typically, they send them north during the summer and head south for the winter because of the weather. Hence, I expected to see a show arriving in December or January. A February or March arrival (as mentioned in the article) seems to run counter to that usual strategy. Although, it might make sense to wait until the third parking garage is complete before removing a ton of parking lot for the tent. (That's also mentioned in the article.)

Anyway, I have seen Luzia. It was good but not great. I'd rank it in the middle of the 13-14 Cirque du Soleil shows that I've seen. The show's sub-title is "A Waking Dream of Mexico". Thematically, it won't fit it with Disney Springs. But, they probably don't have a lot of choices. I think that's the only North American "tent" show that hasn't toured Florida.

2019 vacation packages can be booked June 19th!

I am really hoping they announce if the 2018 Disney Springs Resort benefits will carry over to 2019! I am planning a November 2019 trip and really hoping those added benefits are still there!

I can't imagine they would get rid of that. If anything they still will need the extra inventory these hotels provide when SWGE opens!

This seems more like something fans would do, not Disney.

That makes sense I guess. They should make the same argument for Star Tours - where they've had characters from all three trilogies show up on the same ride.

That's pretty standard throughout the parks, if you think about it. I mean, at the end of Tangled, Rapunzel's hair is chopped off and brown, but when you meet her in the parks, it's long and blonde and braided with flowers. Or you can meet Ariel as both a mermaid and a human in the parks even though the movie ended with her 100% human. You're sort of in the story of the films when you're in the park- the storyline hasn't necessarily played all the way out yet.

We got the Cinderella Castle as a family Christmas Gift and my kids had a blast putting it together (took us about 8 hours over 2 days) and would love other attractions. Big Thunder or Splash would be really cool as well, heck a full on Pirates of Caribbean would be neat!

Tower of Terror would be cool. I think that wouldn’t be too hard to develop out of legos.
