Disney News Round Up

Any news on Anna and Elsa coronation or what ever they will have?

No I don't know if that will even happen I know the Merida one was part of limited time magic last year so who knows if they will do one for them. Also do both get coronated as disney princess or just Anna. Elsa is technically the queen in frozen after her parents die.

Come on, I think you're a big enough Disney fan to realize you don't have to be an actual princess in the film to be a Disney Princess. I think they'll wait until the buzz for Frozen dies down and then they'll induct both of them into the princess club to reinvigorate them.

I figured if and when they do it they both will become Disney princesses but I just had to throw that question out there.

It will take place this fall and both will be princesses.

I have heard fall as well, but has anyone heard any potential dates?

It would make more sense for it to be in late fall/ winter when the decorations for Christmas are up so that Elsa can make it "snow" down Main Street

Im hearing late September. I haven't heard an exact date though.

That would make sense lower crowds so there wouldn't be any problems

Big Rumors

These mostly are for Epcot and are rumors unless proven otherwise.

1. Plans are moving full steam ahead for the Frozen take over of Norway. There are multiple possibilities at the time on what they plan to do.

First is to change everything in the pavilion. Turn the entire pavilion into the city from the movie with a major update to the ride itself. (Let the idea go in my opinion)

Then there is just majorly update the ride to Frozen.

Then there is cheaply add an overlay to Frozen with a few AA's and screens.

Then there is the worst option which just throws in some Frozen with the current ride.

The Rat ride for France is also moving ahead yet behind the Frozen ride.

Captain EO is walking death row.

Sorian is going down next year for its makeover to the new edition.

The Great Movie Ride may truly be going down for major work. Right now they are apparently torn between using it for other themes or keeping the Great Movie theme.

 

[Figmentforever24]

Oh and the Norway ride may close to be overtaken by Frozen as soon as the end of this year although that is a stretch.

There is also a chance that the ride might just see new stuff added to continue the Norway theme with no Frozen.

I don't see it happening during busy season they would most likely start that type of project very early January or early fall.

This Norway stuff truly saddens me. Epcot is not supposed to have any characters from Disney movies it's supposed to be the park about the world, the future and knowledge. I guess nemo is already there but I let that slide a bit but now characters in world showcase.

Disney CEO and chairman is one of the many guys being considered as the next commissioner of baseball for the MLB according to several rumors surfacing the internet.

Actually a lot of characters are present in the world showcase ... Princess with their countries etc...

Yes but as character meet and greet which is fine not full on attractions and take overs of a pavilion

Questioning the magic bands , if I buy one , can I use the same one for say ten years ?

When they were giving them out for,free I was told 3 months later they would be dead and not usable. So is that the same or?

Yes you can use it for a while not sure what the actual life span on one is I don't think they have really said that. I would think it's longer than 3 months because AP holders will have theirs longer than that. Now 10 years I don't know I would say maybe 5. I've never heard three months.
