News Round Up 2017

I don't think so. The point of moving the "bubble" outward at MK was probably to include the monorail system within security and to ease the human traffic jam out front. MK is very limited in space in front of the park given the number of guests that flood through the gates and that space was accessible with zero security checks. From a liability perspective, that's a bad combination. The other three parks don't have the same out front space limitations, nor the same transportation concerns as the monorail (yes EPCOT, but again that's taken care of with this change). I think it's possible, probably even likely, you will see the gondola system included in the bubble though, especially given the space constraints around the IG.

Exactly. This was to relieve the MK crowd issue and have MK and the resorts in a bubble. This wouldn't work as well with the other parks.

My apologies it popped up on my twitter feed and I didn't have time to check the date.

You don't have to apologize. Since it was on my Twitter feed as well, it took me a few minutes to realize that it was from last year. It was reasonable to assume it was a current article.

$275 brunch for two makes Disney prices look very appealing (yes, I know - not even in the same level of food quality, but still!)

Ugh. I don't see how that couldn't raise race costs.

Well they should save costs in not giving out free DL tickets, and volunteer clothing. However yes this might eventually lead to higher entry fees.

No. That will stay like that.
