News Round Up 2017

[Keels]

Good Luck at getting a discount at Captain's Grille, I believe it's currently closed and going through a rehab.

It's actually been relocated to Ariel's for the time being, but the hours and service have been sketchy because of the kitchen.

Also Cutty is the best....I will miss him Dearly....Smoking Jay will always be the best Bears QB in my world.

You must be a Packer fan.

I did wind up ordering one for my son for his birthday ... that is my story and I am sticking to it (I'm such a sucker for anything "limited edition")

You and me both...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it a little late to be putting out 45th anniversary items? We're almost to 46 right? They are awesome though! I just hate buying dated items. Makes them seem outdated so quickly.

They are part of a line of MB being released for the 45th. I think this is number 6 in the collection

Annual Passholder dining discount increased at several restaurants through the summer

30% off at Jiko, practically the best restaurant on property? Extend this to November, dammit, and I'm there!

Sorry - double post.

Instead I'll just say that I love the Epcot merchandise, but find that it just sort of highlights how much better Epcot used to be.

Yep, Small World, HM, Dumbo, Tiki Room, and WDWRR. I think there are only five. I have 3 of those 5.....

is all of this EPCOT stuff only going to be available in the parks or will any/all of it be available online?

I only have 2 ... but if they release a Jungle Cruise one I will then have 3

Not sure I hope some of it is online but then again my bank account will be hurting.

Hey, that goes on through September. Great for our long weekend trip. Thinking about finally trying out the Turf club on arrival night. We always spend it at Disney Springs but ate at several of those restaurants in May. Short boat ride over. 30% off the prime rib? Sounds like a deal. Wife loves French onion soup.

Was just about to post this exact same thing.

Jiko was participating in that Orlando restaurant week or whatever they were calling it as well - where you got a 3 course meal for a reasonable price

Rumor

Martin on WDWMagic is saying hotels are going to play a role in the future of Epcot. What that means is uncertain at this time. There was a rumor a while back about a hotel being built at or near the entrance of Epcot and then of course there were those old World Showcase hotel additions.
