Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

[bambialways4ever]

I’ve never been to a bar where they disclose this when ordering a drink. This might be different but it may be similar in some respects

Sure, they may not tell you when you order or list them on a menu but have you asked and been told no?

 

[Sweettears]

I may have misread but I thought that they general discussion was that they predisclose. If they asked and were told no that’s a different story and I agree

The walls covering the view of Pirates of the Caribbean’s refurbishment (which we’ve been giving updates on here) are now removed, thus revealing the lovely bayou scene behind, and that testing is underway ahead of the attraction’s reopening.

Pirates of the Caribbean is set to reopen July 1. Construction appears to be on schedule as empty boats can be seen testing and sailing past guests as they eat at Blue Bayou Restaurant.

Disney Refuses to Disclose What’s In the $5,000 Star Wars Drink on the Disney Wish

Disney is apparently reluctant to tell the media what’s actually in the drink. Multiple members of the media have asked what is in the Kaiburr Crystal drink and Disney has refused to answer. An odd choice for a media cruise that is intended to produce positive stories (and bookings) for the brand new ship. As of right now, the only description that Disney has given is the official menu listing, which says that the drink is “the galaxy’s rarest and valuable cocktail”.

If you use the Force, you'll figure it out.

If you were hoping to spend your Halloween at the Most Magical Place on Earth, you might have to think again as Halloween evening has sold out for this year’s returning Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!

Good Morning All!

Sure, they may not tell you when you order or list them on a menu but have you asked and been told no?

KFC won't tell me their secret herb&spices. Coca Cola and Dr. Pepper won't tell me their syrup formulas. Bush's Baked Beans advertises that they won't let anyone get their hands on their secret family recipe.

Universal won't give up their secret to what's in Butterbeer.

Really? Most menus tell you what liquors/liqueurs/juices/etc. are in a cocktail. I wouldn't order a drink ($5000 or not) if I didn't know the basics of what was in it.

I can tell you it's not butter and it's not beer.

Coke won't tell you what their 'Natural Flavors' are.
