News Round Up 2016

While you're at it, if you could personally email me with the stories that will be of interest to me? Just those ones though, I don't want the other ones.

Kthanksbye...

Yeah-- and can you change the color of the message quote balloons to more of a greenish blue? the blue is really getting quite tiresome.

Thanks for the humor here but all that was said was a simple suggestion: put links in the New Round Up to separate threads created on larger topics. I did have a purpose on this by the way...my hope is people (possibly ME, lol) don't say things like "HEY did anybody say something about the tower of terror being redone to guardians of the galaxy!"...and then a dozen comments end up in this thread vs. in the thread created specifically to discuss that topic.

Also...Between my suggestion post and Ryan's response there were 9 unique likes so obviously other people like the idea. If Ryan didn't want to do it he could say no and I think we'd all be fine. He seemed to agree with the idea because hopefully it will keep this discussion more on topic.

You can change the color of the message quote balloons through the style option under preferences. Unfortunately greenish blue is not available but purple is.

Any rumors about AK on Earth Day? I thought I had heard a while back that there might even be a re-dedication ceremony. I think all I know right now is that this is when all the nighttime things are 'supposed' to officially begin.

They usually only do re-dedications on big anniversary years such at 5,10,15,20 etc. they did one for 15. This year would be 18 so I wouldn't expect one.

I'd probably still use their device. Knowing my kid my phone would end up in a agent p drop off bucket.

haha that's funny-- I like that you titled it news....... My computer skills are limited, so the suggestions you made referenced in the earlier messages seemed like a large addition of effort for rteetz's part---- so probably not the case? I'm always amazed at how much he does put in to this thread though.

And as in most of my posts-- the humor is mostly the goal. (maybe with veiled insight)(on rare occasions)

Any update on the opening for this? I had seen a few mentions of this being behind/pushing back the opening beyond May but wasn't sure if there was anything "official"

I find this funny, as my kids asked me this just yesterday when we were discussing which countries' missions we were going to do this trip. I told them we had to use the Disney flip phone version. We might still use theirs to save battery life in our own, but the coincidental timing of this news is funny.

Permits were filed for facade work on main street. The permits expire at the end 2016. The interesting part is the contractor is HOAR construction which does Disneys major project for instance they are working on the demo at DHS. It can't be too major because it expires at the end of this year.

I think this is going to be a really beautiful park. What a shame that it's causing so much trouble for the US parks.

This wasn't going on last week. Bummer However, I thought I saw someone using their own phone for it, so maybe they were testing. Now that Agent P closes earlier, I wonder if using your own phone will allow you to play longer. There's no reason that I can see, except support for problems, that requires it to completely stop early, once you have started the game.

They gave us a Microsoft smart phone last week, so I don't think they are using the flip phones anymore. The battery thing is a good point though. We have an extra phone right now that doesn't have a cell plan. We probably would have used that, because who cares if that battery drains.

Best vacation investment I made was buying a 20,000mAh battery pack. I never charged the battery pack at all during my week long vacation and used it every day in the parks. it cost me like $45 on Amazon.
