News Round Up 2017

Thoughts on when AP discounts for January-March will come out? The last few years it has been 3rd week of October. This seems a little early for a general discount.

This about the same time last year that general discounts came out. I’d imagine we’d see AP very soon.

Do they open up additional room availability for AP discounts? Tried on MDE to apply the current room discount for my reservation 2/3-2/9 at POR and it indicates none of the eligible rooms are available... a bit frustrating.

Funko Pop Figments are currently in stock at MouseGear. Run people run!

I just had visions of what happened to Kevin Bacon in Animal House. "Remain calm... ALL IS WELL" Trampled...

You piqued my curiosity, so I went looking. I don't know if this is the exact one you were talking about, but it does have Mickey "hanging out."

That's it! My dad hated Disney. Therefore we never went except once. I so wanted to see Mickey up there.

Does have two every visit qualify as "trying"?

If yes...then yes, I have tried...

After one of those, they make the crowds a bit more manageable, that's for sure

Not usually. AP discounts are usually to try and sell rooms not already sold.

Have you had the ice cream martini drink at Artisans L'Glace?...so good, but so alcoholic. Those bottomless could be very dangerous.

I have had it - it is wonderful .... so much so I made a gif out of a video I took of them making ours:

Two and a nap in the American gardens theater takes the crowd out of play completely

When theses things get closer to done...I'm gonna take "friendly bets" on how much the resort prices will "randomly" go up...

No money involved...just for fun.

I have an AP, but the new discount just saved me $200. I'm hoping if an AP discount issued it will be even better!

If my recent searches are any indication, they already have. Think you are pretty safe on that bet.

So the Skyliner station is in the middle of Hour Glass lake? I did not realize that. Excited about the Skyliner, but less so for the location. So much for a peaceful lake view.

I'm always disappointed in the Sanderson sisters (Hocus Pocus people) merch for the Halloween parties. I love that movie and I'd like to throw some money at it but I think, frankly, all the designs have been hideous. Maybe it's just not my style, but I'm always disappointed.

I loved the stuff they pulled everything else is less than awesome

An interesting bet will also be if guests will pay that and stay there.

Yes it’s so both resorts can easily access the station.

When they dumped the second half of pop century...the lake actually didn't have any meaning anyway. I think these generate almost no noise...so it will still be quiet.

Some people don't love heights AND water combinations though...

SHHHHHH!...trade secrets...

SHHHHHH!...trade secrets...

It's like the old parable of boiling frogs. If you put them in a pot of cold water and slowly heat it up, it's no problem. If you try and drop them in hot water to start, they fight like crazy to get out. Since it's been disproven, frogs are apparently smarter than those of us that stay at Disney resorts...
