Rumor update

Hong Kongs second gate is on hold right now because of Disneys Shanghai problems.

Luigi's rollicking roadsters had some tech issues that have been resolved. They should start CM testing this weekend with an opening in early March.

Painted dogs on Safari if interested. Not very clear cell pics.

I know he's particular about getting proper credit, so here's the link to Spirit's original post.

Boy is it cold today. 55 and 15-20mph wind. Cold but still better than the snow in STL!

Gonna have to disagree...nothing sucks worse than Florida below 65

You know...I read through that and apparently this cough medicine is getting to my head.

It all sounded so "hackish"...that can't be, right?

The "screamscapian" now the parks on hold...stuff.

The whining about upper management...

The Cold War type worn out jokes...
I was waiting for "mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall"

That is expensive. The big issue I have with the price hike is the 2 day park to park is now 224.99 a 25.00 increase. I will never go there. I will wait to see HP in California. Universal is just too expensive for me to go for 2 days. I have a WDW annual pass and so the extra day at WDW is free for us.

I hadn't paid attention for years...but that is expensive. $155 for a one day hopper type ticket? Jeez.

They obviously have ex-Disney people working for them

Funny, my wife accuses me of that exact thing...

I might consider going to streaming for everything when Google gets to town (soon).

They have been in Austin for over a year now, but it's very limited. We would get it in a heartbeat, but we would have to move to the other side of town I don't know when/if we will ever get it in our neighborhood. Not sure if all rollouts will be like Austin though.

Studies show that the appearance of the food actually causes a heightened awareness of tastes in the palette...

The majority of their guests would fall under that ''One day at Universal'' category. I'm guessing they are trying to push people into extending their stay at Universal and sell at least two-day tickets or something along those lines...

Oof - I better stock up on churros at Disneyland next week! Actually not a big churro fan, but it's a D

Speaking or which - anyone in the thread have any specific requests for what they want to see at Disneyland? I saw somewhere they've finally gotten the problems at Luigi's Flying Tires (or whatever it's gonna be called) solved, but it doesn't sound like they'll be doing any soft opening stuff there just yet - but I'll keep an eye out in case they do. The rest of it is probably all walls, walls, walls, but I'll get pictures where I can! On my last day I'll jump some fences all for you guys!

Can't ride the Hogwarts Express train without a hopper either.
