Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun!

I'd be shocked if it happened. Without them having done something by the 4th, I think they're doing what they're doing with absolutely everything- holding it back for the anniversary. Maybe they've decided they're not releasing anything until they get the paid system up and running and since they can't seem to do that, we're just out of luck.

I think whatever system for lines they will implement ASAP. Dining plan as well to get that money in. Parades much nearer the time and little bits and bobs for the anniversary. People really miss the meet and greets and considering masks and social distancing has gone that will be back as soon as staffing allows. If they do roll out new fp/Genie it will be before Oct 1st as they will want it to run as smoothly as possible before Oct 1st. Imagine rolling it out October 1st and it crashes? It's one thing to try and test using staff in a live environment but another with thousands of people in the parks.

No official source other than my eyes lol but I’m at Gran Destino and noticed what I can only call a Stacey replacement on the resort tv talking about the parks and DS…I definitely didn’t see that at GF or YC last month. Much shorter and not nearly as fun. It massively spoils Rise of the Resistance too.

So I just received an email, and tracking information, for our magic bands. Is this a mistake or are they still sending them?

Seems to be hit or miss, we've gotten them before too. (In June, we ordered some since some people in our party didn't have any, so not sure if they would have sent.)

They sent me a gray one for my orphaned rack rate YC night last month

That sucks . But thank you for the heads up! I’ve avoided ROTR spoilers on the Dis, in podcasts, and on YouTube and I intend to keep avoiding them . I’d be so mad to get all the way there in January and get spoiled by resort tv .

I hope we get them, that’s always our kickoff to vacation.

We had a split stay recently. We ordered fun magic bands for our first resort and then I never ended up doing online checkin for the 2nd resort. When we got home from the trip there were gray magic bands from the 2nd resort waiting for us. It looks like they arrived at our house the DAY OF our resort transfer. LOL.

Something fun to think about - Flower and Garden ends in 2 days, which means Food & Wine menus are just around the corner. I would think they're coming out next week, maybe as soon as Monday or Tuesday.

I’d make it Tuesday-Thursday as the possible release dates for menus with a smaller chance of Monday. With Monday being the observed date for many workplaces for the 4th of July they may hold off a day. For flower and garden this year they released the menus the Thursday prior to it starting, so 6 days before. Definitely the thing to look forward to this week.

We just got a box with gray magic bands several days after returning home.

Such a waste
Would help to send them before the trip

Iron Man recording his next album lol
Whilst I'm not a massive rollercoaster person, I am looking forward to seeing the youtube POV's of this ride, as the older Rock n' Rollercoaster at Paris was never as well themed as WDW's version

It’s so slow we’re going to resort rumors! Heres this one about the 4th Monorail resort that has gone back and forth through the years!

I don’t know what’s going on but I can’t see the BlogMickey links. I get a Forbidden 403 error. I even cleared the cache on my phone and tried Duck Duck Go instead of Safari.

Same here. I thought it was just me

I had the same thing, but it looks to be fixed now. I'm guessing they're having some issues on their end if we're all seeing the same thing

So if you look on your MDE app and search for Emil's Fromage Montage - looks like you get a teeny, tiny preview of some food/wine items. Says its for this year.

Here's a taste:

Crispy BBQ pork rinds with pimento cheese.
Smoked corned beef with crispy potatoes, cheese curd and pickled onions. Beer-cheese fondue.

Yep, in my belly.
