Turner Classic Movies has scheduled another (winter-themed) Treasures from the Disney Vault for Thursday, December 17.
http://www.tcm.com/disney/

The full line-up is:

8:00pm - So Dear to My Heart (1948)
9:30pm - Animated Shorts: Rescue Dog (1947), The Grasshopper and the Ants (1934), and Corn Chips (1951)
10:00pm - Babes in Toyland (1961)
12:00am - Never Cry Wolf (1983)
2:00am - White Wilderness (1958) (The infamous lemmings off a cliff documentary)
3:30am - Polar Trappers (1938)
3:45am - The Island at the Top of the World (1974)

I'm very excited for this line-up, I haven't seen most of these.

This is a little ahead of schedule as TCM has spaced the "Treasures" series 3-months apart and the last one was in October. I hope they continue this in 2016.

It seems delayed...I thought they would be much farther along by now

Town center was always supposed to be the last part and they never said anything more specific than sometime in 2016.

What I do find strange tho is how the former adventurers club site is sitting idle when that's supposed to be the Edison. Seems like something is wrong there.

Does anyone know if DLR has implemented WiFi in the parks yet? I'd find it absurd to integrate FP+ or even Apple Pay without resort-wide WiFi. I was there in July and there was nothing.

Nope. Just got back last week and there was no WiFi. Not even in my $450/night hotel room. Wouldn't have been an issue but now that they have an official app, I was using data constantly.

Sunshine seasons to end breakfast service

This kind of sucks. Not much in terms of quick service breakfast in Epcot.

Ugh! That was a great stop for Epcot resorts. Also, makes that time waiting for the world showcase to open very long if you can sit down for a quick service breakfast (and a great one).

Sorry to hear you didn't have wifi. We had split stay at Paradise Pier and Disneyland Hotels in July and enjoyed wifi throughout hotel. Have recollection that we also had wifi a couple of years earlier in Disneyland Hotel, but unfortunately not always reliable on that occasion.

Save pleasure island believes that the Edison construction has stalled because they need to access the tunnels below and can't continue construction until they are done with such.

We're staying at Music later this week. I've never been to All-Stars. Am I understanding correctly, from reading this and looking at a map, that the only the portion of Buena Vista Dr affected by this is the small sliver than runs by Movies, and then dead ends?

We were in the Disneyland Hotel. Wifi was available in the common areas but not in our rooms and definitely not in the parks. Not a true complaint as we were hardly in the room. I just would have expected them to update their parks wifi prior to releasing the app. The majority of people I saw on their phones were using the app.
