News Round Up 2016

Rumor
Disney quests to close at end of August.

Wouldn't surprise me. If they have no immediate plans for it they'll let it sit empty for a couple months before they do something.

News/Rumor

Walt Disney World summer projections are not good. The Awakens Summer promotion didn't help much. The CM blackouts were for the most part dropped and Disney is about to drop the FL resident ticket blackout dates.

Maybe if they had better discounts. We are AP holders so we don't do FD. Our discounts for this summer are the worst we have gotten in years.

YES! We get there June 23rd! I've been waiting [FOREVER] for this announcement. So happy!

Well, it doesn't explicitly say their WON'T be FP+ for the M&G, they just don't mention it even though they DO specifically mention it for FEA.

Key point also - does indicate it will open at 9 AM along with Future World.

Curious...did you actually buy a lightsaber yourself in February? Both times we've purchased build-your-owns (the last time being in October), they were taped down and our children were specifically told NOT to deploy them in the park. This likely falls into the category of "rules that are rarely enforced" but they do give the warning that the light sabers can be taken away if they are deployed.

We did make and purchase one, with no such warning given....as I'm kind of stickler about that sort of stuff with my son. Perhaps an oversight on their part.
Truth is, that the are always in a semi deployed state. Even when taped, they are a good 1.5 to 2 feet long.

Maybe you should leave for 40 minutes every so often lol. Just kidding!

Oh my. I could eat there for a week. Glad to see some of the offerings from Skipper's Canteen are being moved over to Tiffins.

In the comments they did say no fastpass for the meet and greet. Good thing I don't have daughters...
