News Round Up 2016

That's an awesome non-rumor rumor. I guess the fact that the 3rd land hasn't been taken off the table is a good thing. However that it is "something" located "somewhere" is a pretty lame rumor.

True but the source can't go into details yet. Hopefully they can soon but I'm happy that they at least aren't cutting a phase 3 altogether yet.

technically its 7-11 regular hours than 11-2 after hours
no chance i would pay 150 but as a DVC member i would pay 75 for that

That's true but you still have regular crowds from 7-11. If I want crowds I might as well just buy a one day ticket. Just my take.

Maybe, I still would not be shocked to see the morning one stick. Any clue on how those sales are going? The other problem with MK is I imagine you have to keep a lot more people, have a lot more rides, and make it 3 hours. You probably could cut a DHS one to 2 hours and the price in half. Shelve most of the shows but add a dark side desert party with both sweets and adult beverages. Have Kylo, Darth Vader, and Darth Maul in attendance along with Star Tours, Tower of Terror, RNR Coaster, and Toy Story Midway Mania open.

I read one review of the morning one where the author saw the list when checking in only saw 25-30 groups listed. They felt like they had Fantasyland to themselves - rode 7DMT 4 times in a row, 8 times total during the session along with Peter Pan and Pooh twice each got food (which she said was quite good) and then went and did a bunch of other things right at rope drop and all-in-all totally thought it was worth it

i would pay 25.00 less to have less time in the park but with 3 hours of walk on rides
just differing opinions

It wouldn't be where one mans dream is. That area will be a toy story land entrance. Now animation courtyard is a good guess. Previous DHS plans had that area slated for phase 4.

I'd also like to add the source says plans are in the works for AK post Avatar...

Any plans for EPCOT beyond new Soarin' and Froway? Seems like the park I hear the most comments about needing an update (specifically Future World)

Not yet.

The one thing that is nice about including the 7-11 time slot is you get to see the shows and fireworks - so you can get a pretty full MK experience without needing a regular ticket for that day

From what I am seeing about this one, this is a pretty good rumor. This is definitely something to watch and has some teeth. As one insider said - this one is worth it.

A quick detour into Universal world. They had previously announced a chocolate restaurant called Toothsome Chocolate Factory. I disliked this name. Primarily, I dislike the word "Toothsome". So when I heard news they were changing the name of the place, i was excited to see what it had become.

Imagine my surprise when I found out they are calling it "Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen".

It's like they are trying to make the name as horrid as possible. Savory Feast Kitchen? Are they playing madlibs here?

I think they're trying to make it sound Willy Wonka-ish or Harry Potter-ish without actually acquiring a specific IP for theming purposes.

That's why I'm so intrigued by it.

You guys just going to continue talking about how awesome this is in very vague terms or let the rest of us in on this little secret or where your reading it from?

I've heard rumors of Chester & Hester plus the land behind it going South American themed. Dinosaor being rethemed , and the dig site remaining.

That would be cool although if they are keeping dinosaur and boneyard I would go Australia and just add an educational transition about the digs down under.

Pretty sure I'm the only SW fan who hates this.

First off... Disney, there are other characters in the SW universe, why do you have to do back stories?

Second.... This could potentially ruin han's character arc in a new hope. I'm assuming this Han solo prequel won't end with him being a grey toned character, he'll be a good guy. If he's a good guy... Then he learned nothing and had no arc in a new hope.
