So Bob Chapek can spy on you and your spending habits at home now too???

And we were all worried about Bezos!

Same. We arrive the 12th and stay through the 23rd. At this point, I hope they wait until November. Between saving the money and being the GeniePig, I’ll choose saving the money.

I have two trips scheduled 10/17-10/18 and 11/7-11/15. Maybe it could start in January?

Our family of 5 will be there Oct 23rd thru Nov 2nd. From everything I have read on twitter, Genie will be live by the time we get there. I'm not too worried about it. We were planning on buying it for one or two MK days, but using standby the rest of the trip. If Disney screws up during the launch, perhaps I can use that to our advantage somehow.

I wish we could buy these online. I won’t be at Disney until June. I want some 50th merchandise.

‘Harmonious’ Fountains Are Running Ahead of Its Early Premiere at EPCOT

Hopefully this is just testing and not the finished product for fountain operation.

Agree. Right now they look like black water balloons that sprung a leak.

This Friday Tune In To ‘The Most Magical Story on Earth: 50 Years of Walt Disney World’ on ABC

I had a thought about the Individual Paid Attractions pricing. I live where there is dynamic pricing on some hot lanes. The point of the dynamic pricing is to discourage people from taking it so it still moves quickly even when there is a lot of traffic on the road. It can get up to $30 in tolls just to take a short section of the road. I’m thinking this is what they will do with these attractions. The dynamic pricing would increase when it’s busy so much that people would really think twice before paying it. That way, the line still moves quickly for the limited folks who are willing to throw down the cash. If that’s the case, I think you could see the pricing get very high at certain times. Just a thought.

I agree. Pricing will flow up.

For some odd reason, I looked through the list and there were only a couple of things that made me think, "I gotta try that!".
