The Tokyo Disneyland Speedway vehicles have been spotted at the Magic Kingdom. The Tokyo speedway closed earlier this year to make way for a Fantasyland expansion.

Considering they have a sponsorship with Honda at Disneyland, and that the Speedway is here to stay (or at least for a while), they should really work on a sponsorship to get electric cars at the MK.

Oh damn - that Dooney and Bourke figment purse just probably cost me (or more properly my wife) $200. Thanks Disney!

You wish. Are you talking about the one with the big Figment on it? $318 plus tax! I liked it myself, but... no.

Oof...she usually just buys the small one, and we have the 20% AP discount going. She already has 3 or 4 including last years F&W one, so maybe she'll be able to resist.

Is there a Dis Visa discount at the Festival Center, like at some other shops, when you spend over $50.00?

Yeah since getting Disneyland's POTC boats worked out so well.

It looks like HoP will also be getting a new Lincoln: The Most Realistic Robo-Lincoln Yet. Article indicates that it was announced at D23. I must have missed that one.

Well this shouldn't be that much different.

The Tokyo Disneyland cars are right hand drive. It probably won't matter to the vast majority of kids who ride, but it would be a little funny to have right hand drive cars in an American attraction.

That article doesn't say it's coming to HoP it says it has the potential to come to HoP. The bust was apparently on display at D23.

Actually Tokyo had both right and left vehicles.

Interesting. It was listed as right hand drive in a few places. I didn't know they had both.

In "News we all knew but is still being reported on as if new", WDWNT is reporting that Grand Avenue will be a queue for SWL and that guests may not be able to use the TSL entrance/exit of the land right away.

It's a slow news day.

Bambi celebrates its 75th anniversary with a new MagicBand

Why when I click on these "new magic band" links does it always have Ryan's name already on it?

Didn't see your post earlier, but make sure your wife is not there on Sept. 27th. She runs the chance of getting run over by my wife as she beelines it towards that Figment Dooney. She won't buy them unless she looks at them first and that will be her next chance to maim someone, er I mean buy one!
