News Round Up 2017

And I think this is just an agree to disagree situation, though I do agree on the viewpoint of keeping an eye on it especially as the article spoke about various destinations in the U.S.

You're not alone. I already have tickets but I'm feeling apprehensive.

I love Emma Watson but she doesn't seem to be a great singer and honestly... She doesn't seem like a good fit for Belle to me.

I guess we'll see. I have a feeling the movie will be a one and done for me, even though the animated is one of my fav Disney films.

The amount of auto tune is terrible and I can't abide the very British accent in what should be a French movie. As my husband puts it, it's Hermione Granger in Beauty and the Beast, not Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson. The more I see the less excited I get.

So...did anyone else have this reaction to the live action Beauty and the Beast preview?

Belle wearing dress, apron and sweater, runs to the top of a hill with mountains in the background. She throws her arms out, spins around and...wait...what???...shouldn't she be singing "the hills are alive with the sound of music"...oops, wrong movie.

I remember reading an article when the original came out pointing out the homage to "The Sound of Music". I haBe thought about it every time I watch it. There were other items as well- wish I could remember all of them.

Get ready for more security changes. Tents have been set up closer to the MK bus stops. This is for MK bus guests to go through a security checkpoint. Those at the TTC and taking the ferry will get there own security checkpoint there. The monorail will also then have its own security checkpoint. This is said to start very soon in time for spring break crowds.

Beauty and the Beast Live Action soundtrack is on Spotify.
If you're a vocal/audio snob don't hold your breath...

I'm thinking that might help, but folks with strollers will have just packed kiddos and bags after the bus ride, and will have to unpack again...wonder if this will slow things down a bit...hope there will be more than one line up for each area....

Just glad they found a more useful purpose for those white tents.

Well yes that is part of it......something that I spoke about last year especially in regards to the Canadian dollar and the impact visitors were having with the exchange rate...however I was making comments regarding the content in the article only which was in regards to implications of Trump's presidency.

There's no way Cameron will want Avatar going head to head with Episode IX in December 2019 either.. You would think this will be a tent-pole holiday release. This makes me wonder if we won't see Avatar 2 prior to 2020..

I like this idea. So many times I've arrived on a bus and it's frustrating to be so close to the entrance and then have to keep going past it, down to the bottom near the ferries and come back up again.

Spring breaks start next week. Makes sense.

Is anyone surprised?

And not the least bit necessary to compliment the new land IMO.

Well this might not be official but otherwise it could very well leaked. The Rivers of Light sound track did leak before the show opened.

We looked for the ROL soundtrack when we were there last week and they didn't have it for sale. CM's couldn't tell us when it would be available.
