Darth Maul Disney+ Series Reportedly “In the Works” at Lucasfilm

Reports from inside Lucasfilm had indicated that the studio is extremely interested in developing a deeper dive into the story of Darth Maul from the Star Wars Universe (SWU).

I wouldn't be surprised if this will be a story more focused on Maul as the leader of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate ... teased at the end of the Han Solo movie.

The current 'in canon' comic series' have been filling in the gaps between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and starting a new story focusing on Qi'Ra (from Solo) and the Crimson Dawn. Disney tends to keep the comic book output targeted towards upcoming film/streaming plans.

The Acolyte D+ series is rumored to be focused on the end of the High Republic era which has been explored the past year or so in book and comic medium

From Disneyland Paris:

The new prices for the Annual Passes have been released. A 30-40 euro increase, depending on the tier.
But one big perk for the highest tier, Infinity, has been killed No longer VIP seating for the parades and fireworks in Disneyland Park. This was one of the main reasons for me to take the highest tier.
With all the covid-extensions I still have an Infinity pass till June. But I might downgrade to Magic Plus. The main differences are discounts are 10% instead of 20% (Shop) or 15% (Restaurant), 'only' 350 days access instead of 365 and the Photopass is not included (discounted price). The price difference between Infinity and Magic Plus is 150 euro. Not sure if I spend enough in shops and restaurants to justify an Infinity pass.

Cream Cheese- Our Publix was wiped out yesterday

Now this is a new one! LOL
Shoot, I wonder what else?

To keep on topic, hopefully, these shortages won't impact WDW menus too heavily (and that beds don't need replacing!)

OT
No joke, in VA I've seen three stores this week not completely bare shelves, but almost...crazy.

Apparently, there's also a foam shortage. We bought a bed back in June or July, was delivered end of August, and arrived damaged with several tears. We're still waiting for the replacement. So I Google'd it and it's a real thing. They said maybe by November 12 it'll be shipped. We'll see! LOL

Weird stuff. Pretty much anything with resin in it is an issue right now. I work for a manufacturer, and we can't get handles for guarding on our equipment because of the resin shortage.

DVC Direct Purchase Incentives Generally Improve...For A Limited Time

Disney Vacation Club's latest direct purchase discounts return to the pattern of offering additional savings for several weeks, followed by a net price bump as those early incentives drop off. In the early stages, rates are generally equal or better than prices offered throughout the fall, while rising after the short term discount expires on December 15, 2021.

Grand Floridian Gingerbread House Inches Closer to Completion

How much does the house vary from year to year? While this is a beautiful creation, it seems different than ones seen on trips of old. Could be just the fading memory of an old man....

I think they kind-of semi redesign them every year. There may be a little internal competition involved.

I can help you here… I’ll post a few of my past pictures. Looked all the way back to my 2010 pictures and it really hasn’t changed much, maybe little details, but this year it appears as though the colors have changed a bit.
