Disney Springs to have fireworks for 4th of July?

This would be SO easy for them to execute and would be a real game-changer for holidays!

These people ... I see them at least once or twice a week at Epcot, and - I'm sorry, but in my personal opinion it's completely ridiculous. They usually have two standard poodles (wearing full outfits AND sneakers), and at least another one or two (or the last time I saw them - THREE) miniature poodles in a covered stroller with a "sunroof". I'm all for emotional support animals - but two people don't need FIVE dogs with them at Epcot on a Saturday night while they're drinking in the World Showcase.

It's also not fair to the dogs to be shoved in crap like sneakers and clothes and paraded about a theme park for hours, repeatedly and on a weekly basis. They're always there doing fireworks - EVEN ON NEW YEAR'S EVE! - and the poor dogs are so scared and upset because of the loud noises.

That's pretty messed up!

Disney has commissioned a lighthouse sculpture to honor Lane Graves, who died in the alligator attack one year ago tomorrow (6/14). The lighthouse will mirror the one used in the logo for The Lane Thomas Foundation.

Hard to believe it's already been a year. What an awful weekend that was for Orlando.

Hey, all you folks waiting on the AP rates for September 1 - end of October. They are out. You have to call though because the web site is not updating. I was on a chat with one of the CM's on WDW site and they said they came out this morning and to call. I called and booked. Not a lot of rooms or properties so hurry and call already ARGHHHHH

This is definitely an improvement, but I still have a hard time with no bedspread/runner. Just looks unfinished to me.

I just called, twice. First CM said noting was out, second said she believed she saw it earlier, but the site is currently going under an "enhancement" and she couldn't check. I will try again later!

The CM I had knew immediately when I said looking for AP rate in late September. He said "those just came out this morning, here's what I got.....and named the resorts. He had All star Movies for the values. Riverside and Coronado for the mods. I already have my email confirmation.

Hopefully I can speak with someone like him later this afternoon! I will keep trying, the reservations line is open for another 8 hours

Maybe they're changing from from Pop Century to Pop Hotels.com and a new sponsorship. The room looks like the new Hilton section and they can have a Marriott, Best Western, Motel 6, and Super 8 section. For a value, not Disney enough for me.

I like the concept and I really like the headboards on both the regular bed and the murphy bed when folded down - but I agree the Disney and themeing could be turned up a bit more in the rest of the room

Especially since Pop Century is a resort that sort of screams at you. Not sure why they thought understatement would work here.

I think it looks like a hospital room.
