News Round Up 2016

At least it isn't "Mary Poppins Rises"...

...P.L. Travers is undoubtably spinning in her grave to lean over and spit on Walt Disney's grave.

Oh yeah she would not be happy right now.

would definitely be nice to see a full room shot. I really like the general atmosphere they are going with in the refurb room design.

Is this still what the current rooms look like at POP?

If so....the new photos look a bit claustrophobic initially to me...but you can't at all see the layout of what is against the wall opposite the bed and Murphy bed. So it likely isn't at all which we won't know until we see a whole room shot. A lot of extra space is there depending on how that cabinet/tv//table space is set up.

That is the current look of the rooms. I would like to see a full view of the room but we don't have that yet.

Poppins strikes back would be my choice tbh. Revenge of the Poppins would be up there as well

A sequel to Mary Poppins makes me sick to my stomach. I wonder if the people who made this terrible decision even saw Saving Mr. Banks.

So isn't this worse? I mean it looks nice. But I'm assuming the fold down bed is not as comfortable as the other bed. I guess this is ok if you actually spend a ton of time in the room, but I definitely do not when staying at Pop. It's probably not going to keep me from staying there, but this is a negative to me.

Those of us with a tempurpedic don't plan on sleeping when we are at the world anyway. At home, I stop drinking before midnight so I can get some sleep. At the world I just keep on drinking trying to pass out because I can't sleep.

I guess that was just a long winded way for me to say that just because something doesn't "test well" doesn't immediately make it bad.

No, but it makes it troubled. And the track record for movies where the director and the executives are in conflict is mixed at best.

I was just going to post the same thing. Coffee makers at a value resort! Anybody else see a major price jump in the near future?

Something else to justify the coming $15 resort fees

I really don't care for the color scheme myself. I can see how the style fits the theme but I don't like it.

Someone said the white walls are a bit institutional, and I tend to agree. The linens and art look nice, but they could probably have chosen a more interesting paint color. Maybe something different for each decade. But I'm sure that would cost too much!

Looks like they took out the wall to wall carpeting and are using laminate or vinyl with a wood pattern too.

Is there a refurb for OKW planned, I saw this on a DVC board

Disney's Old Key West Resort: Refurbishment from spring 2017 through 2019

Wondering if there is truth to this?

 

[bbmassey]

All this sequel news has left me with one question.... Will there ever be an Incredibles 2 or will the failures of Alice and such kill the film?

 

[disneymath]

They might (and could easily) change it, but it is common in Norway.

Oh, I've been to Norway (Oslo, Kristiansand and Stavanger ... with DCL). And what I saw in those FEA pictures did not remind me of any of those places. (The photos you posted do!)

That said, in the photos in the link rteetz posted today, there appears to be dark shingles where the whitish rectabgle was ... Definitely an improvement, but things still seem a bit off.
