News Round Up 2017

Also, probably because some of it seems really rushed.... I mean, I can do the effect they had with Winnie the Pooh bouncing around in Adobe Flash in five minutes.

Actually Once Upon a Time came from Tokyo so isn't not rushed.

Would they replace it or just get rid of it all together?

@rteetz - so Thunder Mountain and Mine Train aren't listed on the list of available attractions for the Halloween Party. They are always open for the party. But on Disney's web page, they aren't there.

Anything to worry about - they both wouldn't be closed the same time as Splash, would they???

I've noticed this but don't know what to make of it right now.

I will hope it's a mistake. If not a mistake, I will hope they are only closed during the party. If they are closed period...I'm not sure what to do. That's a huge chunk of one park to be closed!

Thanks! Keep me updated!

There aren't enough words to describe how honestly upset I would be if this were the case as far as if they are closed period instead of just during the Halloween Party. I'll be optimistic at this time though since we don't have any information but thank you for at least mentioning it.

I know, I'm trying not to panic!
I'm going out to dinner tonight with some non-Disney people and my boyfriend has warned me that no one will care if I bring it up!

They are only listed as closed during the parties right now I believe. Disney isn't great with updating schedules in advance either. I wouldn't worry too much yet.

Anybody else wondering about when we'll get a new parade? I have a feeling we'll get a new parade as soon as they can put one out for MK, because nighttime parades bring in a lot of crowds.

Actually nighttime parades don't bring in a lot of crowds and that's been evidenced by when they took away MSEP. It is a nice thing to spread out crowds though. We likely won't see one until the 50th.

Yeah..my husband isn't near the level of Disney-lover that I am..sooooo when I said Splash was down during our trip he was like "oh bummer" annndddd that was it ...yeah my reaction was not so casual as his .

Same though

Could've fooled me. LOL!

Now that I save seen HEA I realize why they got rid of Celebrate the Magic since there was some real projection and song overlap. Celebrate the Magic is still the nighttime show that brought a tear to my eye so I miss it - I really loved that one.

I would agree with @rteetz. Night parades don't really bring in crowds. Normally the crowd that is already there will see it. It really just frees up other areas of the park, but most parades/shows do that. The MK has been crowded every evening when I have been there since the MSEP left. I also think that there won't be a night parade until at least the 50th.

Any word if Festival of Fantasy Parade will go to 2 showings a day? I know that was rumored or it happened earlier in the year. I usually miss it since I either leave the MK by 3 p.m, or I haven't arrived yet since I like to park hop.

Yeah, it turns out they didn't bring in as much as I thought....Glad you guys corrected me on that! Haven't heard anything about Festival of Fantasy going to 2 showings, but it seems fairly likely since now MK only has two parades, and their now 'main' parade is ONLY at 3:00.

It was rumored but that died off.

Reports running rampant on facebook group about issues fitting in FOP. Issues with too short/too tall/too wide.

In the main Pandora thread there is a lot of discussion about this and it isn't just one specific body type but a combination of things - with the issue being the leg restrains - so if you have long legs and/or thick calves that seems to be the main issue

I did see John Saccheri (The Big Fat Panda) was able to fit today just as a point of reference

I don't know who that guy is...

It amazes me that Disney created a ride vehicle for a main attraction that is so restrictive.

I really don't think it's that restrictive. I believe it's blown up more that the problem really is.
