News Round Up 2016

Your right the differentiation is important. All the advertising I've received has stated complimentary transportation and listed the DME separately. The resort is the whole of WDW but the wording can be misleading and lead to a lot of confusion. A lot of people I know still remember when you had to show your key to the world card for the resort monorail.

And it is doubly confusing since Disney calls their hotels at WDW resorts while at Disnelyand the hotels are hotels and the parts are resorts

That sounds like a real beating just to avoid paying the parking fee ... just the transportation time alone.

Not that I would do it illegally, but last trip I had to pick up something at Once Upon a Toy at DTD. It took me forever to get there from the Poly, and I was supposed to come back to the Poly and then go to Epcot. I called my wife and said I would take the bus from SSR and meet her there. I walked over and hopped a bus and was in Epcot in 20 minutes from when I left the store. Now I walked up and the bus was already there, but it was still very doable. I don't really think it is worth the added time to save $20 a day versus just parking at a park, but I could see where someone being very frugal might make the move. If Disney had buses from Disney Springs to the parks I am sure a TON of people would do it, so I totally understand why they don't. It hardly matters to me since I haven't had a car at WDW since 2000.
 
Another animation to live action film in the works . . . . . James and the Giant Peach.

James and the Giant Peach’ to get live-action treatment from Sam Mendes

Disney doesn’t look to be pulling the reins in on their live-action remakes anytime soon. (And who can blame them with The Jungle Book sitting pretty in spot no. 3 at the 2016 box office?)

Now the House of Mouse is in early development on a live-action James and the Giant Peach. Oscar winner Sam Mendes is in talks to direct, Deadline reported Thursday.

No word yet on whether a live-action take on the tale of James and the bugs he befriends would be more directly based on the 1996 Disney stop-motion film or on the source material, Roald Dahl’s 1961 children’s novel.

This comes shortly after the release of another Dahl adaptation that Disney placed in the hands of another Oscar-winning director, Steven Spielberg’s The BFG.

Mendes is better known for his adult-geared fare — like American Beauty, Road to Perdition, and the two most recent 007 films — but he has delved into family-friendly entertainment. In fact, he’s helmed a Dahl adaptation before: Mendes directed the 2013 West End stage musical adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I think the bus situation with springs is more interesting from the angle of early returns on springs...rather than if they charge for parking.

I don't know if anyone noticed...but the parking garages are not designed to collect tolls. That would be disasterous if they tried. And the local/off property crowds aren't paying $20 to park...not when they have that large outlet complex across the street.

I think they were
Looking for "springs" to really bail their butts out in the parks with 3 in states of flux...

I tried it 3 different times In July...trying to be fair...

...nope...I don't think it can do it. It made me long for the "old downtown" even more than some of the most ardent PI defenders...it's just not right.

Lots of CONGESTION and high end window shopping in its future.

Just a thought.

Heck I'm worried about the Edison right now too. Progress seems so slow on it and it isn't even a Disney restuarant it's a third party.

From what I hear, the Edison and Neverland Tunnels will be slower due to its location. Now that everything else is done, it is a difficult area to get in supplies for construction, as Disney does not want to interfere with the guest right now at Disney Springs. Some pretty reliable sources seem to indicate this in my opinion.

Yes I saw that but even then it's slow. When they had better access it wasn't moving very quickly either so.
