Mirabel Spotted Greeting Guests in EPCOT

We just happened upon her in the World Showcase, near the International Gateway.
We don’t know if we will start seeing her on a regular basis.

That would be amazing. My daughter would go nuts. She was so jealous that I met Mirabel at Wine & Dine last year.

Same!!

I ignore what I don't like. Works quite well.

Amen! I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and the vitriol of certain groups against the last few years' of movies/shows is amazing. If you don't like it, don't watch it!

A little late, but I just saw this. Very disturbing what Disney is showing on Disney+. We are cancelling our subscription.

Have you watched it? Will you watch it? I mean, if not, what harm is it to you? There's plenty on my cable subscription I don't watch, I don't cancel it just because it carries NewsMax.

I hope we see her on our next trip!!!

I know this isn't a Universal discussion, but this is one of my favorite scenes from the Potterverse. It's come to mind for no particular reason at all.

O.M.G. I hope this becomes a regular thing. My daughter would LOSE her mind.

New Path Connecting Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland via TRON Lightcycle / Run Opens at Magic Kingdom

It was about a month and a half before Iger returned.

D23 in Sept.

At 1:16. 50 Josh literally says "We have such a rich collection of stories to draw from".

Starting a 1:02 hour in he shares:

AK-Moana Land and Zootopia Land.

MK- Coca Land, Encanto Land and Villains Land.

But if Iger wants to go further that's awesome, even if more shows and smaller attractions as well.

My guess is these would increase guest satisfaction, esp without an increase in attendance capacity-and being IP.

Thanks for refreshing my memory!

Sounds like Bob likes the idea and is going to have Josh pursue these ideas and more.

I think Encanto, if that's what you are referring to, was suggested for an MK expansion behind BTMRR. If you are talking about a new Epcot pavilion, I'm all for that too. Caipirinhas, pao de queijo, alfajores, empanadas, and pisco sours here I come!

Thanks a lot, now I am going to feel the distinct lack of pisco sours the next time I am at Epcot!

I would LOVE if they put a South America area with Colombia, Peru and maybe Brazil or Argentina.
If they needed IP to fill the area - obviously Encanto but Emperor's new groove!
I know it's unlikely b/c they like to pair with countries for sponsorship but it would be awesome!

South America region in DAK. Encanto themed attraction with Antonio’s room as the focus of at DAK or some interactive Casita experience If you do a South American pavilion in EPCOT. UP themed dark ride exploring Venezuela. Also no problem fitting in Emperor’s New Groove into the concept.

Wait…what? Isn’t it usually Disney World?

Wait…what? Isn’t it usually Disney World?

It depends on where the game is. If it’s closer to the west coast they typically go to Disneyland. This year it’s in Arizona. Last year was also Disneyland with the game being in Los Angeles. It’ll also likely be Disneyland next year with the game in Las Vegas.
