News Round Up 2016

From what he's said it's at Disney springs, it won't be on west side, it's not Disney quest, it's not dining, it's not retail.

This narrows it down to entertainment.

Or a really well themed bathroom!

Or relocated, year-round "Osborne" Lights.

What is "hot"
In exclusive entertainment right now?

They had the right idea with CIRQUE but they didn't execute it properly...something along those lines might be a good way to expand the appeal for the area.

Or relocated, year-round "Osborne" Lights.

If they did this, I would be ok with Disney Springs requiring admission.

Or relocated, year-round "Osborne" Lights.

I thought about this, too, though I didn't consider it being all year long. Not sure how I'd feel about all year long, even if it had a changing theme.

I received my preview center t-shirt today and I am extremely disappointed. It's incredibly thin material and not worth the price paid. I am thinking of returning it but maybe you'd be interested in having it? Send me a PM.

I was actually really surprised with the quality. I've never bought one of these shirts before so I was pleasantly surprised. It fits great.

Granted, I typically buy the 5 pack of solid color V-Necks from Walmart, so I'm pretty easy to please...

I don't think the memory maker is faring too well...my guess is it's use is in steep decline.

As soon as they started giving it out for "free" to AP holders I figured this. They overpriced it and are trying to figure out what to do about it.

So - all this talk about Disney Springs and "something everyone will love" got me thinking....there are so few things that could qualify as that...the statement "everyone will love" is so hard to fathom, because no matter what Disney does they get criticism for it...but the only think I could think of that literally "everyone" would love is...and understand I am NOT in the know on anything...the Osborne Lights? (Edit: Didn't see someone else had posted this already.)

That's my thought. The time of year for starting to put those up is coming very soon so the timing of the rumor makes sense to me as well.

Could also be the reason they are adding watermarks to the images. I'm waiting for them to state cast members will no longer be allowed to take your photo with your camera.

Lol...go ahead and try that...that would be amusing

I think the ship has sunk on Osborne lights...

But something in a better space might be nice. The Osborne lights where always put in too small of a space. It's 1,000,000 lights in 10,000 square feet.

Something not so cramped and loud would be a nice addition.

I don't think that is likely to happen. First off, they don't really advertise that they do it, so not that many people ask. Second I think the goodwill of doing this helps sell photopass.

Can you imagine how horrendously crowded that would be, though? The lights are nice, but within two minutes of getting into that area at DHS I was always desperate to get out. I can't imagine it working well in an area where people are also trying to get to shops and restaurants.
