News Round Up 2017

It might be weird but I find the Stormtroopers in DHS a little scary. A roaming, militarized force just seems a little too ...... possible.

It's all part of immersive theming. I think that's why they are out roaming now. It's all in preparation.

I get that. It just gives me visions of a dystopian future.

Wow, Disneyland on-site hotels must be selling really poorly... this offer came out in October. Wonder why they are putting it on the parks blog in late January?

Probably. With the 60th over attendance has declined from what I've heard. I think MSEP was hoped to bring some back. You also have the Grand Californian about to embark on a major renovation project. The rooms, pools, dining, etc. all getting at least a fresh coat of paint.

I have to agree with the pass on Dory. It was an enjoyable movie... But at it's heart it's a sequel and not very ground breaking. I don't think it was better than Zootopia or Moana or Kubo. I didn't see the other 2 nominees.

I get the interest/focus on celebrating a movie that supports special needs but from a purely "film" standpoint it wasn't as good as Moana or Zootopia

Looks like me after a few too many Grey Goose Slushies.....

I agree. Although I'm sure it's not part of the thought process, too many Disney flicks competing against each other might dilute the vote.

Fully agree - it's got to be hard for 3 movie from same company to get nominated for just one award

Here, hold my Grey Goose Slush. Now watch this

Kind of strange, especially considering they are building another deluxe at the resort.

A luxury one at that.

Don't worry. Storm troopers are from a long time ago somewhere far, far away. You are safe.

Quick!! We need the 60th anniversary of the 1st year of operation celebration to get people back in the park!

Yup-- saw that last weekend--- only three hyenas barking at the pole...... Maybe someone was offended by the implications......however, the jokes still managed to use rhino references......even though there was none..... just not "get the point in the end".....

I'm offended they removed it (now they have to put it back right?)

Might be simple maintenance. I can't believe that of all things was considered too risqué. 1st grade playground jokes are worse.

Here's my thing funny how there was no announcement about this. Like they try to brush it under the rug. Like people weren't going to realize that the rhino was missing. Are there any articles discussing disneys decision to remove the rhino?!'curious.
