Thanks. I found some more info on it, kinda a wild story.

I would be interested in knowing too.

Wow I didn't expect that many people to be interested in the story. If you want info please send me a message, I don't want to clog up this thread with unrelated posts. I also don't think it would be appreciated if I shared it here.

I think I responded to everyone. I have so many messages that I'm getting blocked and told to wait a few minutes after each one.

Tonight, we will “ignite the night” once again as the “Main Street Electrical Parade” and “Disneyland Forever” fireworksreturn to Disneyland park, and “World of Color”dazzles guests across the way at Disney California Adventure park.
A few of our guests in Disneyland park received a “surprise and delight” performance of the “Main Street Electrical Parade” earlier this week. Check out their initial reactions to the official homecoming of the parade with new elements to celebrate its 50th anniversary, plus their excitement for the return of “Disneyland Forever” and “World of Color”!

Is it strange that we have zero peeps about any Halloween strategies in WDW yet? Or have I missed something?

I keep pretty current here so I didn't think I was behind on anything. But, I do hope they put out something soon.

Can't wait for the announcement of Boo Bash. I have a feeling actual parties are done.

 

[disneydreamer781]

So I'm going out on a limb to think it won't be reopened in time for our trip next week. Normally, I wouldn't care too much but we've yet to do this and I've been a DVC member for a long time and just stayed at BLT this past December. I'm sure they're shooting for the summer.

I also can't bypass the opportunity, as I can't help myself, to add a bit more misery and self-pity to this news BUT IT'S ALSO MY BIRTHDAY ON MAY 4TH AND MY FIRST B'DAY TRIP EVER! COME ON, DISNEY REOPEN THE DVC LOUNGE NOW!

Connections Eatery Opens at EPCOT

Ahead of its official opening on April 27th, Connections Eatery has opened at EPCOT. The location is in a soft opening period, which means that it could close at any point, but we were able to take a look around the space before trying the food. As a reminder, we also have a look around Connections Cafe too, which is the new home of Starbucks at EPCOT.

As a volunteer firefighter, we always purchase "House" shirts when we travel. Have a lot from various NYC firehouses, as well as philly, newport (RI), DC, etc.

I would LOVE a reedy creek shirt before they go byebye. Outside of calling them (hate to interrupt their day), any ideas of how to get one?

The Main Street Electrical Parade is back at Disneyland to celebrate its 50th anniversary, and guests can munch and sip with the celebration thanks to a new popcorn bucket and sipper!

Light-Up Elliott Popcorn Bucket — $35.00​

Also being sold is an Electric Sweet & Salty Popcorn, which combines colorful kettle corn with butter-flavored popcorn. Without the bucket, the mix sells for $6.75.

You can find the bucket at the popcorn cart outside “it’s a small world.”

Light-Up Turtle Sipper — $29.79​

If you’re thirsty after all that popcorn, there’s also a sipper themed to the turtle float, which we found at Troubadour Tavern.
