News Round Up 2017

The official anniversary is November 13th. I'm wondering why they celebrated a week early.

Maybe that’s the only time Elton could be there? Michael Eisner was in attendance for the anniversary as well.

Marcus recently bought out our locally-owned theater chain, Wehrenberg, and so far have been impressed with their operations. Hopefully, it's not just a honeymoon period, but continues offering what they have so far ($5 Tuesday tickets, Classic film series, etc).

Same for our Wehrenberg here. I love the classic films - there was something really cool about watching the Indiana Jones films on the big screen with our kids, and I'm really looking forward to Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas!
So far, we've been happy with the new ownership too.

I would think if the idea is a new park with 1+ resorts right there, then I would expect at least one to be a Deluxe that would come with Express Pass (figure they could up the number of express passes given out by ~50% and still have the same proportionally when they open a true 3rd gate)

That makes sense as the capacity and the feature would follow each other.

Thanks ya'll!

Coco trailer and tickets go on sale

http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/final-coco-trailer-released-as-tickets-go-on-sale/

I saw Coco last night. It has some wonderful animation and music. The plot, especially the beginning and end, is pretty cliche and standard which i think detracts a little.

While still having its funny moments Coco also seemed to be the most adult Pixar movie so far. It may not have the punch in the gut moment like the beginning of UP or end of Toy Story 3 but it is more adult and mature throughout.

When I first loaded up that picture, I thought for sure it was just children's sized toys. Good job Disney, you tricked me!

It had the same visual effect to me also. When I first saw that overhead photo I couldn't believe how much it looked like a toy set. Excellent job by the Imagineers!

Toy Story Land looks so cool! Cannot wait!

do you think it is still totally appropriate for younger kids? It isn't open here yet until closer to the end of the month but we were planning to see it that Wed before Thanksgiving and just want to make sure it will be ok for all my kids (ages 8, 5, 3)

Yeah, maybe this will entice Disney to finally build another ACTUAL value resort instead of more DVC and luxury hotels which have been the norm for the past 15 years or so.

We can dream I guess. It was speculated that the reasoning behind giving certain good neighbor hotels 60+ booking was to turn them into the new value. I wonder If it has anything to do with Disney knowing this was coming from Universal and trying to get one step ahead of them.

I cannot say or want to misguide you.The movie deals with death and remembrance. But also about family. I saw it with a theater full of Jr. Highschoolers and I definitely heard some crying and sobbing at the end.

If/when you go just know it does not go for the laughs as much as other Pixar movies do.

Thank you for this - and for that last part about not going for the laughs. I was afraid from seeing the early trailer that there would be too much "goof jokes" and things with the dog going after the bones, etc. - but another person who saw the movie said not to worry about that and in fact that scene that was in the previews is not even in the movie
