News Round Up 2017

Fun fact I saw on twitter. With today's two closures the two rides had 95 animatronic figures, all now going away.

Hopefully not replaced with 95 screens.

Well, we live in the area so wouldn't need a hotel, but anything with more than two bed would be rather expensive I would imagine

If you guys live that close you could always do the daily lottery for frozen tickets. I think you can only win 2, but it could be a fun parent/kid bonding night if one kid is more frozen crazed than the rest. Of course, then the other kids would need special kid and parent bonding nights but that could be fun.

Just a thought.

Yeah, we could try that - also can wait and see if after a while any discounts come out (I get things every now and then front the Disney Chase Visa for Aladdin)

Do they even have any hotels in New York, NY for a family of 5? Stacked to the ceiling does not count. I stayed in a two bedroom closet the last time I was there. I love my family, but closeness (while sleeping) is totally overated. Except for Mrs. Ally that is.

2BR at The London is awesome if in the budget. We've gotten deals there, too. Great location.

Also, doesn't it look like the Carthay Circle building to the right of Grauman's?

It does look like Carthay Circle but I think that's just referencing the current Carthay Circle that exists in Hollywood Studios. I'm pretty sure it's one of the gift shops where Sunset and Hollywood Blvds meet.

I almost forgot...forgive me

I'll grant you a pardon, but just this one time!

If only they could bump the food quality back up at the Hollywood Brown Derby to being comparable to Carthay Circle.

I love HBD and the lounge actually but Carthay is just incredible.

Ah, the "Once Upon a Time" gift shop. Totally forgot about that!

The mixologists at Carthay are so very good, but I'm a sucker for the proper ice for the proper drink.

I was speaking with one of the bartenders at Jock Lindsey's and she was one of the people who developed the drink menu at carthay

Unsure, often party merch isn't available online.

It's being reported on the Express Transportation thread that the service will be suspended as of August 24. Really bummed about this because almost everyone who tried it LOVED it, and I wanted to give it a try in September. The biggest complaint- and it WAS a tricky situation - was that they had to shut the operation down if lightening was reported in the area. There were no safe ways to escort guests backstage to the busses.

How is that different from people leaving the parks themselves to get to the bus/monorail/boat?
