No Audio Animatronics Will Be in Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT​

Audio animatronics were cut from the design early into development, partially for budget purposes but also partially because of the uncertainty surrounding “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”

Reminds me of the ramp up with the development of Toy Story Land

Someone posted on another thread only a Soft Goods refurb was done.

That's awful. Two whole years with the resort closed and they didn't bother to do it.

Sad to say that's on trend for Disney.

Most ridiculous thing to me is they are charging the same price to stay here as the other two All Stars that received the upgrades.

Mother Nature is thinking #yolo! in Europe at the moment. Disneyland Paris is covered in snow (no April Fools joke, it was snowing this morning in the Netherlands as well)
I was in DLP from 24 - 26 March, and we had perfect blue skies, sunshine, low70s, and now this!

Good Morning Everyone!! Happy Friday!!

Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue is finally returning! To my surprise, I was contacted by a Disney Insider last night by DM and was given some top secret info about all the big changes and enhancements coming to the beloved show!!!! Please do not repeat anything I share with you outside of this thread until confirmed by Disney!! Thanks guys! Let’s get right to it!




First off, I was told there will be an AYCTE buffet! (Anything You Can Take - Eat! Buffet)




Food offerings include exotic delicacies that will be both pleasing to the eyes, as well as the mouth!!!




There will be NEW and EXCITING ACTS!! Here’s a sneak peek at the main show stopper!!




There will also be a Tee Shirt Cannon!!!! Lucky recipients will get a “2022 I Experienced the Revue!” Tee shirt and be charged only $29.95 + tax, plus convenience fee for each shirt they catch!




And there’s something special for all the kiddos!!! Every night, there will be a Clown handing out Mickey Balloons to each and every child! Free of charge!!!




And if that wasn’t enough, we’re excited to announce CHARACTERS will be included in all shows! Get ready for Chuck E. Cheese, from a rival mouse gang, to challenge Mickey for the chance to win Minnie’s heart, in an all out epic break dancing battle!!!




And the final piece of information I received is… Each character in the show will be introduced one by one, prior to the start of the show, and walk onto the stage while a new hype-song is played!!!




The family-favorite song “Enter Sandman” by Metallica will be played live by the Hoop-Dee House Band as the characters walk out to hype up the crowd and encourage audience participation!!!!




So, what do you think?! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m beyond pumped about Hoop-Dee-Doo coming back!!! Honestly, with all the changes, I think it will be better than ever!!! Hope to see you guys at a show!! WE GOT THIS GUYS!!!!

I was already fooled by a podcast that was talking about Disney’s Enchanted Express as a ME replacement. Then they started talking about motorcycles as an option and I figured it out, but they got me

Disney+ Edited The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to Censor Violence​

Didn't see this posted? As a follow- up:

D+ Restoring the Original Falcon/Winter Soldier Cuts

Disney is saying the edits were due to a software issue, which sounds like D+ is testing is the ability to have different versions of content selectable based on the parental ratings ... A great option for all if you ask me

Sounds like they are covering their butt because of the backlash but I do like the idea of parental controls.

Yes it is. That's why, for the first time in over 20 years, I don't have any Disney trips planned. I used to be jonesing for the next one before I even got home. Now? Eh. Lots of other places I want to see.
