They just made this FREE to play and now they’re closing it!!!!! So disappointing!!! Hopefully it’s not a permanent closure!

According to Walt Disney World, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade will be closing indefinitely on November 27th.

That's too bad because they just switched it to free-play. That said, it's a pretty dated thing too, though I can't imagine it not being there. Maybe they can put something similar but newer in it's place?

According to Walt Disney World, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade will be closing indefinitely on November 27th.

Didn’t this just reopen? I’m assuming this is why it’s free (because it’s only open for a short time)

Alan Horn is an absolute stud in the movie industry. He will be sadly missed by Disney.

Disney Will Not Restrict Genie+ Sales, Will Never Sell Out


In a webinar with Travel Agents this afternoon, Disney discussed the upcoming Disney Genie suite of offerings debuting October 19. In the webinar, they noted that they will not restrict sales of the Disney Genie+ service. This service is the closest thing to “paid FastPass” that the parks will get – allowing guests to use the Lightning Lane expedited access queue at more than 40 attractions in Walt Disney World.

According to Brooke Geiger McDonald, Disney also reiterated that there will be no re-rides allowed with Disney Genie+

Disney Menu Updates: 70 (!) New Menu Items Added to Disney World Restaurants

I'm surprised they removed The Grey Stuff cupcake from Gaston's Tavern, supply issues or an attempt to increase bookings at Be Our Guest? I can't imagine it wasn't popular.

I liked this. If you live to the age of 111, celebrate the life, what a life!

I’d guess more supply issues especially since they still aren’t filling restaurants to capacity.

Does anyone know if maxpass at DL would ever sell out?

Does anyone know if maxpass at DL would ever sell out?

It did not. Anyone with a ticket could buy it. Keep in mind that while MaxPass was more convenient, all park guests still had access to the FastPass Kiosks. The pool of availability was essentially the same, excetp that with MaxPass you could pick up someone else's cancellations. MP was really just an easier way to manage things, but wasn't super necessary. It did work rather well though!
