Also in the resort today through to Wednesday. Will not be running though. Happy New Year Ryan! You need to visit DAK at some point. The various trails throughout the park are spectacular.

Oh I'll be there!

Parks definitely busy today but likely because people are still here for their holiday vacations. That should die down in the next couple days. At least I hope.

I know my kids go back to school tomorrow (and I go back to work) so probably makes sense - plus probably others like you down for the race weekend in early so bit of overlap

Yep. However most runners won't come in until tomorrow or Wednesday. Normally I wouldn't come in until then.

Kinda like Ariel...just shoehorned into the wrong location, park concept?

But this, (however small it might be) kinda goes with where the ride is located, Right?

Or do you mean in DCA?

I never found out if SE had returned to putting your picture into the scenes about your future self or not. Was it just a temporary problem, or are they no longer taking passenger pictures anyomore?

The pictures were working again during my December trip.

Now that song is stuck in my head! Thanks Ryan! HA HA...actually, I love it so it's OK. Wish we would hear more about what will happen in WDW for night parade.

When are they making a commercial for the WDW parade? Oh yea, right.

are there no dooney purses for the marathon this year? seems odd as has to be a huge money maker for all involved

 

[Redcon1]

Happy New Year everyone and thanks again to Ryan for keeping these threads going. I like the balance he gives
to this forum as some of the mods on the other forums can be too cheerlead-y for Disney. It's always a pleasure to be able to read and offer differing opinions that can be discussed equally and with civility.

What will 2017 have in store for Disney and its guests? I'm sure there will be some surprises along with the rumors and plans we already know. It's great we will have this thread and forum available once again to discuss what ever comes up in the future!

There will be just no pre orders.

Very cool.

After having visited Disneyland I do still feel like WDW is my "home park" - but I do love how they seem to appreciate history more out west.

At MK today. Not as crowded as DHS yesterday. 1900 Park Fare for breakfast, a meal I enjoy everytime. Currently in line for Space Mountain. We also sprung for the express transportation. Will be trying that out later.
