News Round Up 2017

Excited for this(assuming they have a vegetarian option), sounds like maybe it will be where they bring your food to you but it's quick serve? I really hope it's not where you need an ADR like Be Our guest though.

It is supposed to be quick service.

First look at the food of Pandora

http://wdwnt.com/blog/2017/03/photo...s-dining-pandora-world-avatar-animal-kingdom/

looks interesting. I am excited about Pongu Pongu ... though weird they are calling those pineapple cream-cheese rolls "Lumpia" - that is the name for a Filipino pork, shrimp, and veggie spring rolls (could create some confusion)

In listening to Micheal Bowling's cover of Disneyland in the 90s and when Fantasmic! first appeared and all the different names that were under consideration, I was very interested in what the new name will be ... a bit underwhelmed by Fantasmic!! - but whatever

The technical piece about trying to do projection mapping on a moving target is interesting

Also, a bit sad to see they are replacing Snow White with another princess - always felt this show had a lot of references to Disney's history and when that is the case the first princess should have a role.

Oh no...I really enjoyed his commentary on TCM, and really like the GMR narration. A gifted speaker, who will be missed.

Sorry if I missed it when you mentioned the height requirements for the two Pandora rides but saw on Kenny the Pirate that both rides will have FP+ but no mention of tiering

Two things we have to work on:
1. Sarcasm
2. Your palette

I don't see why they wouldn't have FP. I was never sold on that they would do tiering at AK.
