I keep looking for Food and Wine information. Am I just over eager or is it running late?

Tower of Terror Returns to Full(ish) Capacity…For Now at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Tower of Terror is operating at “full” capacity after months of work on the left elevator shaft at the Hollywood Tower Hotel. The attraction is running both sides of the elevators after months of refurbishment dating back to February, but Cast Members have indicated that it is expected that the right side will close at some point in the near future to have similar work completed. Disney has never officially acknowledged the work because the attraction remained open, even if it was operating at a significantly reduced capacity.

What would be really great is if they could run Enchantment AND HEA once each! Now, that'd be excellent!

I don't hate Enchantment or anything, but it is far less impressive than it could have been and is not as good as HEA was.

I still miss Wishes, it was my favorite. But Enchantment is too much flash and not enough heart.

I wonder if dvc will convert another building at gf to vgf…since big pine key has been selling.

That might depend on how well they can fill all the remaining GF resort rooms. They converted half of WL to CCV because they couldn’t fill it as a hotel, except at Christmas.

Damn, I wasn't finished saving up yet!

If only they could of waited until pay day for me to still be on sale.

That would explain why the wait times were down a bit despite HS being crowded yesterday. Rise had an over 4 hour wait.

On Rise yesterday, the only thing I noticed that was B mode was the Kylo animatronic wasn’t used and he attacked us from a Tie fighter from outside.

"The Grand Character Hunt" Scavenger Hunt Debuts at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa​

Starting from this week, Guests staying at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will be able to participate in "The Grand Character Hunt," an indoor scavenger hunt that will allow them to explore multiple areas of the hotel.

Participants will search for characters, count icons, and learn more about some of the resort's amazing offerings. This will undoubtedly be a great activity to enjoy especially during the afternoon storms that tend to happen more often during summer months here in Central Florida (or even when it's just too hot to be outside).

Clue sheets will be available for Guests at the Front Desk (Indoor Activities Cast Members may also be able to provide you one).
