News Round Up 2017

I wonder what is coming out to put this in. I get that this is the point of the co-op, but they stress me out everytime they change it up, because right now it's a one stop shop for me. I had a mini panic attack the last time I was in there when I didn't see the Pandora jewelry case, but it was just moved not removed so false alarm. It's so much easier to shop in the co-op than to go into World of Disney.

Nothing is leaving. This will go into the Cherry Tree Lane store.

I really doubt there will be tiers in AK - most of the FPs available there are top tier. In Epcot, if there wasn't tiering then someone might not get a chance at a popular ride, in AK, you're guaranteed a great attraction (same with MK). And not everyone is excited for Pandora and would rather do EE and the safari. Or Banshee, EE, Kali for the older kids who want the thrill rides. I just don't see how adding more rides would require tiering when tiering was put in place due to a lack of rides.

I hope you are right. I have a bad feeling about this. I can't see them pass up a chance to keep everyone waiting for one of the two pandora attractions.....or to make all return the second day for the second one.....

Just wanted to mention on the possible AT-AT bodies. There is a rumor that those are in fact AT-ATs and will be part of the battle ride.

That seems smart, but he didn't mention which year that 4th of May will fall in.

Did he say it "May the fourth" - 'cause that would clearly be a joke on his part.

Looks like trailer is out - here's where I watched it.

This makes me so happy. Pixar hasn't made nearly enough original movies lately. I see why they held off on this -there's definitely some overlap with Book of Life (which was actually pretty fun), but gosh I am looking forward to this. What a wonderful teaser trailer.

I agree. You can already tell there is going to be a lot of color in this movie too. With the music aspect I may wondering if this will be a musical type animated movie. Either way I'm excited for something new.

I am going to argue that those are not AT-ATs - unless they are making something that is semi-functional. It looks like that is being made with structural steel - I wouldn't picture the AT-AT at DHS having that much of a heavy duty structure. They look an awful lot more like just bridge trusses. I certainly could be wrong - but not sure I would assume AT-ATs.



So - I always thought Disney bounding meant wearing clothes that implied a character. This at least show some merchandise with actual characters on it. (Orange Bird) If your outfit is covered in Orange Birds, you aren't really Disney-bounding.

They don't strike me as bridge structures as the ends have beam's making it less likely anything could pass through. I would think they'd triangulate the stuff a bit better. The rear end structure is different than the front as though they will mount something. The sides which have the biggest gaps have no triangulation or structure as if I door is planned there.
Not close enough to see what they are made of either. There location is curious. They are either being stored there so they are out of the way or so they are protected.

Random question..when did "May the 4th/Fourth Be With You" start...I ask because well technically May 4th is my B-day but now instead of it just being Cinco De Mayo references around that time of May it seems the May the 4th/Fourth Be With You is referenced almost as often.
