News Round Up 2016

Here now. Hours and staffing are changing by the minute. Everyone confused (pool at Poly posted as closing at 8, closed last week at 10, changed it to 9 today).

#1 thing we've noticed - and monorail conversation more than once overheard - are trash cans. Overflowing EVERYWHERE. They need to get this addressed ASAP.

Sounds lovely.

It's Disney still mostly. It's obvious they changed a lot on the 1st and staff is visibly confused. Over staffed in some areas understaffed in others with staff members discussing assignments (new member comes up, hands ticket to departing member, brief discussion about it not being normal rotation). But seriously the trash can situation at MK on 1st and DHS/Epcot on 2nd was noticeably worse than I have ever seen with trash on top of and on ground near multiple cans and people looking around for alternates trying not to make it worse with no options. I'll see what happens over next 5 days. Hopefully it gets better quickly.

Is that scrim for HM going away anytime soon?

It should eventually...

It should eventually...

That makes me a little nervous, but at least the ride is still open while the scrim's up.

Maybe they are installing some sort of technology they don't want other parks to know about. With the luminescent paths and plants, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

I think this it's something like that as well. They're getting down to actually making the immediate environment. Pandora has been SO visible during it's construction with the mountains, they may want to keep things reigned in so the opening will be more spectacular. They've shown us their "weenie" but it is in their best interests to keep the things they can control under wraps, so that the wow factor is there when they finally open.

Yes I thought it looked great as well. Actual puppeteers and an actual interactive show. Disney entertainment did a great job here.

I'm so torn. I want to watch it, but I also want to wait to watch it in person.

I think if I saw overflowing trash cans at the MK I would freak out. That's really disappointing.

I get why people do that but I can never wait. A video to me is only a preview, it's always better in person for the most part.

Security outside the walls of Pandora, looks like they are getting serious about no photos.

I was there yesterday and there was no security. We walked right up to the wall.

Maybe they only come out when bloggers are nearby.

You need to take lots of pictures and post them on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. and tag the various Disney social media sites on each platform. Nothing will get change to happen faster than bad press, and as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words."

I am with rteetz on this, something on the marvel deal has changed. With blatant signage now with Marvel on it. Something has changed. I hope this means more marvel soon.
