Marathon Weekend 2027

SAFD:

Lion King and POTC

SAFD:
- Lion King
- Thinking.... Thinking some more.... This is a battle between my inner child and my adult self. "I love you." "I know." Classic. Can't be beat. Empire by a hair!

SAFD: This is quite the Final Four.

I have to go with Lion King over Toy Story, again limiting my evaluation only to the first Toy Story in order to avoid franchise bias. But man is that close.

Empire wins over Pirates and that one is easier for me. I loved the first Pirates and the Jack Sparrow character and yes, we can debate whether Empire is truly a Disney movie, but if we're just talking about a head-to-head matchup Empire is clearly the better movie.

Good morning RunDisney All-Stars! Welcome to this week’s edition of Sundays Are For Disney (SAFD) where we’ll be continuing our March Movie Madness event! The second round didn’t seem to be much easier for folks, but the results still weren’t all that close, with one exception. So, for our first order of business, here are the second round results:

• Lion King took one step closer to completing the circle of life, devouring Beauty & the Beast 25-15
• Toy Story popped Up’s balloon 25-14
• Our favorite English nanny proved to be no match for Captain Jack’s Pirates of the Caribbean, although she kept it close right up until the end, falling 19-21
• Finally, Star Destroyers proved more powerful than a Star Lord, as Empire Strikes Back took down the Guardians of the Galaxy 22-16

Here are your next round match ups. May the best movies win!

Slightly off-topic: my FB feed is now presenting me with ads for the Gilded Pass hotel packages for MW, but prices are conspicuously absent. Is this a case of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it"? Does anyone have any experience with this, or is it something new?

Mousegen has a short instagram post about it. They were gifted one night by the company during PW, and said they are going to purchase it for SS to see and do a full review. Thy mentioned that it was flamingo crossing area hotels, so it sounds like a 3rd party plus offsite hotel.

Flamingo Crossings would be horrible for MW, since Western Way is closed on marathon day, and that's pretty much the only way to get on property without backtracking to 192 and cutting over to World Drive.
