News Round Up 2017

I thought that the the village scenes with Gaston might


I thought it was very well done. The village scenes with Gaston weren't nearly as good as the original, but I thought it really improved on the relationship between Belle and the Beast. It always bugged me that he was treated as illiterate after being a prince that grew up in a castle with a massive library. Much more sensible to have them bond over that somewhat.

Agreed.

Guys as much as I love the discussion I think it's time to move on from the discussion of whether Apple is good or not.

I write this on my iPhone while wearing an Apple Watch as well as my iPad and MacBook Pro are near me.

Hmmm, So you're saying you like apples? Not LG or Samsung

BTW, "What did Ben Kinobi say to the stormtrooper that asked about C3PO & R2D2,?" These are not the 2 AnDroids your looking for....

Disneyland Paris 25th Aniversary Entertainment

Opening Ceremony

Happy Birthday Disneyland Paris

Starlight Princess Waltz (I'm guessing by the name, it is supposed to be done at night but wasn't for the previews)

Disney Stars on Parade (Noticed on Twitter that the Princess carriages are temporary, as a new princess float will be added next year)

Disney Illuminations

That was a fantastic parade and nighttime show. The scale of the parade reminds me of Festival of Fantasy. Really beautiful floats. And the Disney Illuminations show was fantastic as well. The previous show was already one of my favorite night-time spectaculars at any resort, and this is a great successor. Very emotional. The music is just... perfect.

So that means lines should be super short in June, right?

Or could it be a good sign that discounts will be coming?? lol.

lol Don't we all wish.

Okay, so lately I feel as though everyone has been complaining about two things:

1) CROWDS! I'm seeing comments about people being so frustrated with crowds that they're leaving early, etc. It seems as though it's a consensus that there's no longer an "off-season" and that it's always packed.

2) Price increases. I totally get that people don't like paying more money, and that spikes in prices aren't fun.

So maybe this is just part of a growing pain trying to find where the fine line needs to be? It's undoubtedly a weird time for the Disney parks and it will be interesting to see how things develop.

CM report I got today.

Just got home from Beauty and the Beast.

I have to say I liked it better than I thought I would. No it doesn't beat the original for me but I thought it was quite good. Evermore the new song was a great add in my opinion. Emma Watson is no Paige O'Hara but I thought she did a good job. Emma Thompson was probably the best choice for Mrs. Potts next to Angela Lansbury, she did a great job.

I wasn't thrilled as Emma Watson being cast as Belle at first. She's a great actress, and she did capture Belle's spirit quite well. I really LOVED this movie! It was visually magnificent.

Never. They will just reduce the number of loading areas/ride vehicles

...Back to news....

So tickets for the first night of Guardians of the Galaxy showings for Alamo Drafthouse sold out in a matter of hours. I was lucky to get 2 seats for the 10:30 pm showing that weren't in the front row when they'd been on sale for an hour and a half. I haven't seen a movie's opening night sell out that fast since Force Awakens and Rogue One. I'm pretty sure Guardians 2 is going to be huuuuuuuuge.

I also saw Rogue One again today It finally came out in the dollar theater.

I won't get too political, but a lot of travel agencies, airlines and hotels are reporting a significant decrease in international tourism coming to the US due to the current political landscape. Quite a few tourist destinations are already feeling the impact, so I'm sure it will have a noticeable effect in both Florida and Anaheim.

Of course there's other implications involved. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

We really enjoyed the sneak peek of Beauty and the Beast there earlier this month as well as seeing the dress Emma wore and the glass case for the rose that was used in the movie. I'm guessing they'll have some Pirates movie props or a costume on view to go along with the sneak peek?

No word on the props.
