News Round Up 2016

I'm guessing they might clean up the lake a little but it isn't going to be as clear as the springs.

I don't think it would be possible to unless they ran the whole lake through filters constantly...

 

[lockedoutlogic]

That lake is part of the drainage system that connects to streams, ponds, and locks all across the property...

There will be no "filtering" or dye. The "springs" is an illusion with demarcated boundaries...like all the pavilions in Epcot or fantasyland.

The dye comment was a joke. (Remember LOL, I'm as sarcastic and cynical as you are.)

But then again, if they can dye the Chicago river green for a holiday, changing a little pond blue shouldn't be that much trouble for a company like Disney.

It will be interesting to see if they do anything for the transition as this gets clos to being completed.

I wasn't really serious about the dye either...I just threw it in there

YES! This is wonderful news. When bringing the grands, we have to rent a car and car seats. The cost of the car seats is ridiculous. Thank you Uber.

Anyone heard anything about changes coming to ToT and RnRC? Someone on a Disney Facebook page mentioned it as a rumor but didn't have any details or a source.

Nothing about ToT but there are always fan rumors about a new band being put in RnRc. I can't see them doing anything to those rides right now though with so much closed.

Pool Deck closing time change at All-star resorts.

Pool Deck closing time change at All-star resorts.

http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2016/01/disneys-all-star-resort-pool-closures.html

I understand the reasoning for it, but that's really unfortunate. I assume the same will be true for Pop soon when those gates get built. After 9 is really the only time I like to hang out around the pool. I really didn't like having to walk around the gates at All Stars.

 

[Planogirl]

Wow that article about the Secret Life of Pets is really pathetic. I guess they confused it with Zootopia. I want to see both but at least I know which studio is doing what.

As for pool decks closing at 9, the pin pool at Pop closed at that time in December. They couldn't make you leave the deck itself though because the laundry is located there.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Having access to the pools was one of the truly nice things about the hotels over the years...

I would be so mad if they changed my beloved ToT.

It's pathetic even beyond that even if they meant Zootopia (which is still not a Pixar film) - which I don't think they did. It takes 3-4 years to produce an animated feature. Disney or Pixar releasing a movie less than a year after The Good Dinosaur can have nothing to do with responding to that failure. It's poorly written, poorly fact checked, and just plain wrong.

That's an accurate description of local news...

Thats the thing. This person isn't the type to repeat the same old tired rumors.

I didn't know Pop was getting gates... will it be all the pools there do you know? Thanks
