Star Was episode IX: Directed by Michael Bay

I'm holding out for David Lynch. He was one of the choices for Return Of The Jedi, so why not give him a shot now?

Just wanted to mention we have a thread to further discuss the firing of the episode 9 director.

Any idea when the Minnie Van service will be rolled out to the rest of the resorts? Is it still only operating out of Yacht/Beach Clubs?

Also Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom and Boardwalk. They have been in high demand and supposedly more vehicles are on order but they haven't come yet.

I was at AKL this weekend and saw four full Minnie Vans pull out at once. I guess I am not their target market but it seems there is quite the demand for them....

I know as someone with kids - something where there was something with available car seats and I could trust they would be installed properly, etc. would appeal to me in getting from one resort to another for a meal or something and would likely be worth $20 vs having to change busses, and allow 2 hours or whatever to get there va regular transportation. But I get why others might not need that and just use an Uber or something that is cheaper

I was just planning on using this. We are staying at AKL with two toddlers and trying to decide between Jiko, 2h bus ride to hoop de doo, or $20 fast ride to hoop de doo. The van ride makes the most sense.

I wonder if the minnie van can take you all the way into the campground down to the bus stop close to hoop-de-doo? that would be pretty sweet

Am I missing something? It says TL will operate as normal on both days. Why close one and not the other?

They are likely leaving one open in case weather does not get bad. If we get closer and weather looks bad they likely will end up closing both.

I think that stop is only for the internal busses. But you could take it to MK and then take the boat right to the Hoop de Doo area.
