Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2023 Edition

[Brian Noble]

I like ones like Bridgerton where there’s more seasons but each season is it’s own stand alone story.

Watch The Wire (assuming it is still on HBO Max). Trust me.

I love the flower and garden festival better than the food and wine in the fall. A boat driver for the ones that go between boardwalk/beach club/Epcot once told us while chatting they referred to it as the liquor and landscaping festival and that’s how we have referred to it in our house ever since . I’m sure they’ve shuttled a lot of passengers who’ve had too much around the world and have stories to tell. I wish they would bring back the candied strawberries they used to sell at the China pavilion they were amazing.

That is too funny! I'm sure they do have plenty of stories lol I never got to try the candied strawberries. That sounds delicious though! My go to was the Crepe with ice cream at France or the Canadian Cheddar cheese Soup.

I won’t start watching anything now until it has 3 seasons because I get so tired of investing in a show only to have it cancelled.

I am still hella annoyed about Cowboy Bebop and Raised By Wolves getting axed... sigh

Apple's TV+ is small, but has a high hit rate. Foundation was good. Severance was great. And of course Ted Lasso was exactly what I needed when it came out.

I wouldn't subscribe to it as a standalone service, but we get it as part of our family bundle, and at that rate it's more than fine.

Oh Ted Lasso was a good show. I forgot about Apple TV. We were getting it free through T-Mobile for a while but didn't have enough to keep us on after the free year ended. Maybe we'll pay for a month and watch Severance.

The next season of Ted Lasso starts next month

More Character Topiaries Arrive For 2023 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

Genie $29 again today!

I’m not surprised but that one hurt a bit! $15 I could stomach but $29 seems a bit high to me. But I still purchased. (Just 2 of us today, a family of 4/5 ekk)

If people pay it, they will continue to supply it at that price. That's why I refuse to pay for it.

It's good that you refuse to pay it. It works best when adoption is low. Then the LL doesn't get too long (it should be a fast lane, after all, for those willing to pay) and then the LL doesn't bog down the standby lane too much. This is why it's also good that they cap G+ purchases.

I agree but I can afford it today, and my 4 year old is better on shorter lines….. not sure what my breaking point would be

( boat driver) I’m sure they’ve shuttled a lot of passengers who’ve had too much around the world and have stories to tell.

I feel for them! Off topic, but as a college student MANY years ago, I shuttled people from one side of an airport terminal to the other. It is not easy doing your job in those situations.

LOL so true. My little conspiracy theory is that Disney decided to have festivals year round because they would have issues getting people to want to come to Epcot otherwise, especially with park reservations in place.

I think the evolution of the festivals was started as a soft coverup for the lack of anything new being introduced to EPCOT. Obviously they have caught on and remain an important part of the schedule.
