Ugh, they're killing me, I need a Gideon's fix! I wonder if they'll Door Dash to Connnecticut...

I mean what are you willing to pay in fees?

It would be cheaper for me to fly down for my Gideon's fix, LOL!

It's nice to have that back. I liked the 50th decorations, they were nice but sometimes it's good to get back to "normal"

This is exactly how I feel. We lost so many things over the last 3 years that it's nice to return to normal and not just "here's your replacement surprise!"

Disney also wanted to share the advanced Imagineering work it took to put it all in place:

I mean I would do it for half of what your flight would cost, cause I could also go to Disney!!!

Don't scoff. That guy probably has a masters in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, technical theater, and graphic arts.

He’s donning a signature look for Professional Engineers. As a member of his clan, I approve.

Disney100: What’s New on shopDisney and at Disney Parks

Introducing Disney100 Unified Character Collection: apparel, accessories, trading pins and more themed to some of the incredible characters and stories across the Disney landscape. Grogu, Woody, Moana, and Mickey Mouse are just a few of the favorites featured in this eye-catching, colorful line. But don’t just take my word for it!

Disney100 is a celebration for all, and we can think of no better way to celebrate than with the whole family in matching threads. The Disney100 Unified Characters T-Shirt for Adults, Disney100 Unified Characters Pullover Hoodie for Women, and Disney100 Unified Characters T-Shirt for Kids all boast a large circle of characters from the worlds of Disney. Chewbacca, Snow White, and many others make an appearance throughout the items. And for our little ones, the Disney100 Unified Characters Pullover Sweatshirt for Girls ensures you’re as comfortable as you are stylish. Pair it up with the Disney100 Unified Characters Pants for Girlswith character art pictured down the sides. I’m starting my shopping list for my upcoming family trips right now!

Style and comfort, as mentioned, go hand in hand with this collection, and the Disney100 Unified Characters Woven Shirt for Men with its full button-down front, chest pocket, and collar can be dressed up or down. Perfect for celebrating Disney100 during any day of the week.

Visit my home and you’ll be greeted with a closet full of Disney purses, backpacks, and accessories – and I just know this one will be joining my collection! Travel around in the company of your Force-sensitive friend with the Grogu Unified Characters Crossbody Bag featuring a detachable shoulder strap.

Now, onto my favorite topic – sleep! I’ve got to say, the Disney100 Unified Characters Collection sleepwear might be my favorite yet. Women can cozy up with the Disney100 Unified Characters Short Sleep Set, while little ones can count characters (instead of counting sheep) on their Disney100 Unified Characters PJ Pals for Kids or Disney100 Unified Characters Sleep Set for Kids in a beautiful lilac shade. Pajama pants more your style? We’ve got something for you, too! The Disney100 Unified Characters Sleep Pants for Adults are made of soft flannel cotton and will lull you right to dreamland.

As I sat here this morning checking to see just how expensive it would be for me to fly down for a couple of days... If I didn't think my husband would consider divorce, I'd do it, LOL!

Hm, don't really care for these. I guess I don't like the boxy characters. Just as well as they already got our money. We dropped $110 per person to add a Disney100 tour to our Disneyland plans next week, lol

Tomorrowland Launch Depot to Open April 4th Exclusively To Select Guests

It’s not just TRON Lightcycle Run that will officially open on April 4th. The Tomorrowland Launch Depot, aka the Space Mountain gift shop, is also scheduled to open that day, but Cast Members are saying that it won’t be open for just anyone. According to merchandise managers in the area, the Tomorrowland Launch Depot will open tomorrow, April 4th, but only to guests with a previously scheduled TRON Identity Program reservation.

As we reported earlier, the TRON Identity Program has been delayed and will not open as planned on April 4th. Instead, guests with a canceled reservation are being offered a $90 gift card and exclusive access to shop in the Tomorrowland Launch Depot. Managers BlogMickey spoke with said that guests should come with their original TRON Identity Program email as a reference to enter the gift shop.

Managers we spoke with said that limited access to the Tomorrowland Launch Depot was always the plan, regardless of the snafu with the TRON Identity Program. That is, it was previously planned that only guests with TRON Identity Program reservations would be allowed access to the Tomorrowland Launch Depot and that guests without reservations would be directed to the Tomorrowland pop-up shop at Stitch’s Great Escape.

Wow. I'd take a cancelled reservation and a $90 gift card. At least they're taking care of these folks.

I wonder how long they possibly intend on the shop being exclusive to those with Identity Program reservations, since that appears to be fully booked for the first month.

The wait times right now look insane too (3+ hours for Flight of Passage). It's officially the busy Easter season.
