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

[disneyfan150]

I love YC! Been trying to find an opening at my favorite, AKL, for my trip in a few more weeks, but it's been a no go. That's okay, I've been wanting to try Gran Destino for a while, so I'm good!

Gran Destino does look nice! Change is hard for me. We also have two cruises planned for the summer. I was suppose to save a few bucks and try a stay at Swalphin. But YC was calling my name. Maybe I should pop over and try the 3 Bridges??? I hope you have a wonderful trip!

As unexpected work on a portion of the tram route seemingly wraps up, modified tram service is in place at the Transportation and Ticket Center Magic Kingdom parking lot.

Because of the work taking place, tram service picks up and drops off guests at the front of the Aladdin parking lot. Service to the villains side of the parking lots is suspended at this time.

Disney: Supply Chain Issues Currently Impacting MagicBand Stock

Disney World has issued the following message for guests looking to pre-purchase a MagicBand before their Walt Disney World vacation:

Due to ongoing, industry-wide supply chain challenges, MagicBands may have limited availability or be unavailable in some styles. Our teams are working to improve our selection over the coming weeks and recommend Guests continue to check back to see if their preferred style is available.

If you are traveling to Walt Disney World Resort soon, we encourage you to use the My Disney Experience mobile app to access a digital room key and the Disney MagicMobile service once you arrive.

Disney: Supply Chain Issues Currently Impacting MagicBand Stock

Disney World has issued the following message for guests looking to pre-purchase a MagicBand before their Walt Disney World vacation:

This also seems like a pretty good tipoff for why we haven't seen MagicBand+ debut quite yet. Maybe in time for the 50th, but the clock is ticking!

Are all the character statues supposed to remain after the anniversary celebration? I can't recall.

I hope they'll stay, I love them! (Though I'd like to see the small original ones at MK put back somewhere in the park.

Tower of Terror Continues to Experience High Wait Times Due to Elevator Refurbishment at Hollywood Studios

Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios will continue to find much higher-than-average wait times as Disney continues to work on one side of the attraction. As you can see in the average wait time chart below from thrill-data.com, the change occurred on February 7, 2022 and Cast Members have previously indicated that the work will last into the summer months. Disney has not announced an end date for the refurbishment at this time, but high wait times have continued as the capacity of the attraction is effectively halved.
