Glad to see it says that at least "select" merchandise will be available on the Shop Park Apps

Also see a Magic Band in that collection which looks pretty snazy

I skipped over the Magicband but you had to point it out which now means I will probably have to get it....

I remember some of those designs...I didn't get to go until 1987, but some of the signs and such were the same.

Disney is just going to get all my money...

You can't stumble, bumble, drop and roll from Jeylly's to the Yacht and/or Beachclub. Boardwalk ?

Im really annoyed by the news about Volcano's Bay food. They had such original dishes, made eating fun and eye appealing

I get that they, perhaps, had too many options so that was impacting profits and efficiencies, etc. - but wish they would have kept more of the different options rather then just keeping the same-old, same-old. Definitely felt the variety of the food options was viewed as an attractive part of the park

Does it include a stop for World's Worst Italian Food at Tony's?

I'm going to go ahead and assume NO.

Hey hey, I LIKE Tony's!

Hey hey, I LIKE Tony's!

On our last trip, my wife and I both agreed that the food at Tony's was better than at Mama Melrose's. We ate at Tony's one day and Mama Melrose's the next. Had the Chicken Parmesan at both.

So... What do you guys and gals think Disney plans to do with the props, equipment, costumes, and artwork from the GMR? What are the odds we will have a chance to get our hands on some of it, even if at an exorbitant price? I would LOVE to have a piece of the GMR for my movie room or office!

Some of it might end up at the cast member store on property.

After that, I bet a decent amount goes to the store unaffiliated with Disney that sells things from Disney property...ugh, I can't think of the name. Someone help me out.

Seriously. They could have dropped 20 of these to focus on the 10 that they left.

Yeah, but I have to get back to Animal Kingdom Lodge - Minnie Van was my ticket...now I gotta stick with a taxi. (Price isn't much different honestly.)

Now available – Minnie Van service at Walt Disney World Resort

"This service accommodates up to six guests and provides two versatile car seats so even the tiniest of passengers can travel in style!"

So they likely have the LT1 Traverse with the 2nd row quad seating which is easier to get in and out for people in the 3rd row.

We have one of these and seating wise you can fit 2 adults and 1 kid in the back row comfortably enough for any Resort trip.

Didn't it say they were currently just running at Yacht and Beach?.... hence the walk home....

edit--- also boardwalk........ It would be a strange drive from Jellyrolls.

Correct. There are videos that have been posted here and on the Minnie vans thread showing the inside.

Thanks for the clarification. It has been so many years since I have seen Lion King 2 or 3.

It's actually the song "Shadowlands" whose melody can be heard in the movie.

I agree... Tony's IS tied with MM... we avoid both at all costs...
