News Round Up 2017

Only WDWNT at this time. The whole confirmed thing seems to be click bait.

WDWNT are hit whores. Not that they are always wrong, but they're success rate is pretty low - pretty much a "throw every rumor at the wall and some will stick" type site. I would suggest this is still a < 50 % chance of being true.
 
One other comment on Tron that makes it a little odd to me....you would have a roller coaster immediately next to a roller coaster. This seems like an unusual move for Disney.
 
On the magical express back to Orlando airport. Been gone for two weeks for the wedding/honeymoon (working on a trip report)

I won't have time to read the almost 100 pages that I missed, but I wanted to mention a few things (apologies in advanced if these things were mentioned):

- dined with an imagineer on Wednesday (actually same imagineer we got last time). He said he was working on 9 small projects (think swapping out the videos at Pixar shorts). Then he let it slip that all 9 projects were at EPCOT. So...there's that I guess.

- one of the photographers for our magic kingdom photoshoot basically confirmed that guardians was going into universe of energy, as well as ratatouille going into france, but then he didn't know anything about the gondola system...soooooooo...yeah.....I thought it was interesting he was so confident yet had no idea behind what was already confirmed.

- had lunch at skipper canteen today. Server said starting tomorrow they are going to stop the bread service as 60% of the bread goes into waste. I mean, that eventually is turned into bio-fuel, but I thought it was interesting that such a high percentage got thrown out. Also, server mentioned that the restaurants official backstory had been "docked" for almost two years. Servers were promised the backstory of each artifact would be released, and nothing has come up yet. I could go into a bit more detail on this but we are literally pulling up to the airport now.


Congrats!! Would love to hear about the wedding. We have our Disney wedding in Sept.

Others have brought this up, and I agree it isn't ideal - but they are very different styles ... seems fairly similar to me to Big Thunder and Splash being so close together. Again, not idea but I don't think it would be the reason not to do it
 

Just saw this over on WDWMagic forums, anyone have any idea what Epcot announcement would have such an impact on call center staff??

Does anyone know if you can use the Disney Gift card to buy the Disney Springs Shopping Card?

For anyone that was interested in the Buy $100 Get $25 Shopping Card, we went today because initially all the sites were listing the start date as July 10th. Unfortunately, they must have pushed that date back because we went today and the promotion has NOT started yet. They anticipate that by the 13th most of the stores listed will have it available. We went to World of Disney and the CMs were very nice about it but they did confirm that you can neither purchase a gift card with the shopping card nor purchase the shopping cards with gift cards. The $25 bonus card is not available to use until 10am the day following the purchase and it can not be used at dining locations in Disney Springs.

How about they are closing Future World entirely for 2-3 years for a total demolish and redo into a new concept...and World Showcase will become a plus option on tickets during this time (replacing the lost Disney Quest)...

I'm kidding...sorta...

If it were built to replace the speedway you'd actually have 3 in a row in a direct line... 7DMT, Tron, Space Mountain.
