Food & Wine Festival Food Booths Have Arrived in Disneyland

 

[Teamubr]

You know, for what they're charging people to stay here, this is something that they just should have included in the price.

That goes against the Chapek creed.

"Don't give something away if you can get people to pay for it"

Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta Has Reopened in Disneyland

You know, for what they're charging people to stay here, this is something that they just should have included in the price.

I mean granted a normal cruise lasts longer than this on average however most of the upcharges are pretty comparable

captains table = most cruises have signature restaurants
Alcohol and mock-tails= cruises also charge and aside from DCL soda is also upcharged
Shopping on board especially on non DCL ships they pounce on you to look at luxury goods like jewelry and handbags
Paying extra for light sabor training, droid building or Oga’s is like booking an excursion on a port day
Photo packages you guessed it extra on a cruise ship

will I spend $$ on galactic Star cruiser probably not but I WILL be on the wish next year and possibly a non Disney cruise before than

… double post

 

[only hope]

There’d be too much demand if the photopass service was free on the starcruiser. However, they should offer one free shot when you first step on board.

Galactic Starcriuser Preview Cruise Turns Into eBay Reselling Opportunity; Exclusive Lightsaber Sold for $1,500



Of course, as unscrupulous as reselling from a preview cruise might be, it looks like it won’t end there. There have been multiple pre-sale listings of more than $1,000 for the Starcruiser-exclusive lightsaber hilt, and one pre-sale of the lightsaber hilt has already been sold for $1,500! The user claims that they are on one of the first cruises in March and that they will ship the lightsaber once they are able to purchase it.

Tron Nears the Finish Line, Tomorrowland Progression

View attachment 650311

I'm hoping for dates for Guardians of the Galaxy (I know rumored for Memorial Day) and Tron soon. I think Disney has been holding off on any announcements because of the Galactic Starcruiser getting a lot of negativity. They wanted to focus good PR on that before moving on to the next big thing.

Menu Updates from the Past Week

 

[mrsap]

EPCOT Opening Historically Early Starting Monday, February 28th

Here are the changes:

• February 28 – March 5, March 13-19 park hours extended 8:30am to 9pm (previously 10am to 9pm)
• March 6 – 12: Park hours extended 8:30am to 9pm (previously 10am to 9pm)

The 8:30am opening is not only earlier than we’ve seen in post-COVID times, but historically early when you consider that World Showcase does not have a staggered opening and opens with the rest of the park. With an 8:30am opening on the books until March 19th, it’s clear that Disney is predicting, or at least hoping, for increased attendance at EPCOT over the next month.

In pre-COVID times, it wouldn’t be uncommon for EPCOT to open at 9am, but not open World Showcase until 11am or so. The fact that the entire park is opening at 8:30am is significant and something that we’ll keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

I think that they need to have world showcase open just because there’s nothing to future world right now with all the construction. I was surprised that sunshine seasons at the land wasn’t serving breakfast when we were there last weekend. Add Remy being new to the mix and that where people will be heading first.
