News Round Up 2017

Can I like this a thousand times?!?!?! I can't wait for 2019!

My only thoughts...Why does Beyonce have to be in this?

Because it’s Beyoncé

Because it’s Beyoncé

yep! With this announcement her fans have the lion king trending #3 on Twitter. I am so looking forward to this!

This is why the recent refurb decisions fascinate me.

Seems like people really want those little mermaid rooms, even though they are identical to the All Star rooms (I think?)

My SIL did the same, paid $170/night to stay in one. But she loved it! All because of the theme.

If that room looks like the POP reno, is it as popular?

Perhaps, in another evil genius move by WDW, it drives the ultra themed rooms higher, since they are more rare now.

Little mermaid will go for $220 now, since its the last themed room of its kind.....

Not necessarily a reply to this post, but in general------

The all stars are themed to movies, sports, and music-- how do you theme those things? Either build a sports arena /Movie set, concert hall shaped resort, r build a regular motel with oversized fiberglass monuments.... second is much cheaper. Coronado tower is themed to an upscale tower resort in mexico, I guess--- As far as I know, they didn't have giant fiberglass maracas or tequila bottles...... just mexican stuff-- terra cotta, tallavera, iron work, mud/clay stucco......and lots of travertine and marble..... with heavy bodied architectural elements..... So seems to be a lot of themeing.... just not giant fiberglass chickens....

This is nice and all, but kind of a cruel joke to those of us that grew up with and loved the magic shop and only bringing back the facade! Would love to see the actual magic shop return.

It is...

It's a tad distasteful to be retheming facades on the cookie cutter giftshops...why bother?

I am so not used to seeing Beyonce listed with her last name(s) rather than just "Beyoncé" it took me a minute to resize who it was

Regardless of production quality, it's going to be financially cheaper because they did not offer her a multiple millions to be in it. She does not work for peanuts, she charges bank vaults.

NEW Star Wars: The Last Jedi video debuted during the World Series!

This offered some more scenes that we haven't seen yet.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

I like the new tv spots for Star Wars that they've played during the World Series...just saying...
Luke on the falcon is honestly as good as Solo on it.

NEW Star Wars: The Last Jedi Commercial debuted during the World Series!

Lol...we literally did this at the same time

 

[amberpi]

Oh! I think Mrs. Carter will be a great Nala. I may have to see this one.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

The new trailer gives away an important plot detail...I think...

But they need to stop with the flying through caves thing...like...ENOUGH.

Get it out into space ROTJ style if you want to overuse it, please?

But everyone wants to keep seeing the Porg.

But everyone wants to keep seeing the Porg.

They're under the impression that every one wants to see the same 5 scenarios...if you're Kathy Kennedy and JJ Unoriginal...

Like, enough...it wasn't broke in empire...stop fixing it.

If they do the musical numbers that are in the stage show, there's a show-stopper for Nala when she runs away from the pridelands. They do need someone that can SING.

Anyone else think it's weird that they would change an entire facade to promote a limited release t-shirt? I'm not saying that's not what happens, I just think it's a bit of an odd move. The window displays I get, but as you guys have pointed out, how confused might someone be walking into a building that reads "House of Magic" and finding, literally, one House of Magic items?

I don't think the merchandise has anything to do with the work...

It's a psychological ploy to get people to spend more time pouring over the same merchandise...I think you'll see a lot more of these types of moves..."refreshing" without any more quality in the product.
