I really like them using Jack and Zero as the host for this and the "plot" sounds like it has potential ... and at least something different!

Might be interesting to talk about how corless has been shut down on his latest rumor. This time not directly by Disney, but by a site who works closely with Disney

He is really having a bad month or more, and I find it hilarious that its Disney themselves shutting him down on most occasions

Man Disney really needs to work on their IT. Tried to search for pricing and get this:

It is pretty ridiculous. It's not like they are streaming HD to millions of accounts. You are just looking up pricing.

My kids and I were just talking about him the other day, and how it feels like maybe Disney is planting false stories and then relishing debunking them. Who knows, but I enjoy it.

This article was a little all over the place, but worth reading anyway!

So they’re not doing an overlay on the Peoplemover now?

It was never announced that they would be

Was that a rumor? There’s a planned “plussing” for the 50th but not a temporary overlay.

The other site rumored some other overlays a while back. Big thunder was one, peoplemover might’ve been one too.

 

[Fantasia79]

Love those rides (peoplemover & BTMRR), but they can use a touch up.

I’m beginning to really change my tune.

 

[Moliphino]

BTMRR needs the update DLR and DLP got. That's great.

That will be a cool theme.

Learned a few things about yesterday's minor monorail incident.

Monorail Red broke down due to a propulsion issue between GF and MK. It had power for the majority of the time it was down so AC could run. Power was shut off once the tractor was in the area to pull it into the station. So the total downtime for Red was 37 minutes. No injuries or heat related guest issues were reported. Guests were told they could remove windows if needed.

Monorail Silver did not break down but was held for 22 minutes near the Contemporary because of Monorail Red. The fire truck you see in the Twitter photo was at the contemporary for a separate issue. It was a tanker truck so it couldn't have done much for monorail evacuation anyways. Silver never reportedly lost power.

Between the WDW page on discount days and FPP opening times and my issues with ESPN3, I really wonder about Disney+.

 

[Firebird060]

i wouldnt worry about Disney+ they have put way to much money into it for it not to launch on time, also they already have a huge library from what isnt on Hulu so its not like they need to make content from scratch for launch day, even if all the new content they did announce was delayed they still have a huge library, so i wouldnt worry

I think the worry is more about it being functional than the content showing up. Constant issue with their websites and apps get concerning for more demanding services.

I would guess the Disney+ IT is completely separate from the website IT department. I believe it will launch just fine and be able to support it's users.
