New parking lot trams are officially being phased into use at WDW.

 

[Fantasia79]

Nothing official planned, but in the "un"official thread a few things have been planned - the 31st many of us will be at Animal Kingdom and a few meet ups have been planned and then on the 1st a bunch of us are having lunch at Homecomin' and/or meeting up around the monorail loop for drinks before heading over to the party

Agh! This makes me to sad! Going on June 22. The party sounds so fun. If I wasn't going on the 22nd, would totally go.

 

[linzbear]

2 weeks until I'm in Pandora. Not looking!

what? messing with a classic attraction that Walt was directly involved with the original with - at least partly due to the role of a former professional wrestler? Nah, no controversy there

So silly of me! People love and embrace change, especially when it comes to a master of the craft like The Rock

The Rock has posted on Instagram that in collaboration with Imagineering and the new Jungle Cruise movie, all of the Jungle Cruise attractions across the World will get re-imagined.

No! We just had a hilarious guide at DLR! Hope they don't remove the silly joke format!

Maybe I am just an optimist but I really can't see them abandoning the puns and stuff. I am hoping his is more of a "refresh" (new animatronics, etc) and not a totally different ride

Get rid of the puns. Please. Sincerely, a high school teacher.

With out the puns that ride is basically nothing.

Can I ask what being a high school teacher has to do with the puns?

Not being snarky just honestly curious.

Keep the puns. Please. Sincerely, a high school teacher and 2nd grade teacher.

You get a lot of them everyday. Many. Very many.

1. Freshman, 2. every staff meeting or email (which are also apparently required by law to include a YouTube video, or a sports reference), 3. faculty who have been evaluated as "not having a sense of humor." Maybe it's not just high school teachers, but I feel like I'm getting pitched the "jump to conclusions mat" on the daily.

Ha! Glad you like 'em

Side note: HS & 2nd grade? Wow.

Ugh, I hate the team wide e-mails that contain something "funny"

Ah I see. But I honestly fail to understand how that pertains to a ride at a theme park that you can choose not to go on. Like rteez said without them it's not much of a ride.

I mean I get it that the puns can seem corny for sure but it's part of the actual attraction to be that way thus the concern if those puns are removed. Remindes me of Jaws and how they had a certain way the people "steering" the boat did the ride because without that way it just wouldn't have been the same ride.

Obviously to each their own for sure and it's no offense meant.

Driverless shuttles in WDW

http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-disney-shuttles-20170428-story.html

It would be so cool to go from my resort to EPCOT in driverless shuttle! Unfortunately right now that would be the most futuristic thing about future world.

Fine, I take it back. Jeez. Sorry for not loving the puns.

Umm.. no need to get defensive towards me . The "sincerely, a high school teacher" part is what I was reacting to...

You don't have to enjoy puns obviously.

Anywho agree to disagree and move on I suppose
