Work on the Adventureland Veranda continues

I thought that area contained part of Skippers Canteen.

I know they redid that area when they were working on SC.

I find it ironic that the rhino is on the pin since as of 3 weeks ago he was still missing from the attraction. Hopefully, he is back now since they have created a pin in his honor!

Rhino returned a week or so ago.

It does however still room in that area for the rumored club 33.

California Screamin is probably my favorite Disney coaster. It's light on themeing (although I guess that may change now) but the coaster itself is a lot of fun. The wife was just suggesting we go back to DLR in 2020 for our 10 year anniversary.

I had an otterbox for my S5 (I think that is what it was) but when at Disney they never had one for that phone or my current Note 7. I will be getting a new one soon but most of the ones out now have glass all the way around them. They are coming out with an Active something or another (My husband is a tech guy so I go with what he says) which will work more for me as it is more durable.

Yep the "edge" looks great but is an accident waiting to happen, and carriers seemed to matter on what is offered as well. The Active I have is with ATT from last year-been wonderful.

Overall, I could live with these changes.

- I have never eaten at Ariel's Grotto or been to the Cove Bar so I'm fine with that change.
- I always thought California Screamin was just going to be a temporary overlay. I don't know how I feel with it being a permanent change, but it makes sense.
- I'm interested in the new Inside Out attraction.
- I'm intrigued to know what they are going to do to change the theming of the rest of the area with changing it to "Paradise Park."

The only thing I'm really happy about...

- The Mickey head is staying on the Fun Wheel!!!

this, um, does not sound good

Calinfornia Screamin' fit the theming of a seaside wooden coaster - how does that fit the Incredibles?

And they are closing the Cove Bar?!?!?!?!?

Why can't they have more stuff for Androids. I would love a Disney case but they never have them for my phone. Also I need the big bulky cases. I drop my phone all the time. I shattered my last one a week after I got it.

Big problem here is apple has 30 % of the market, while Android has 60% or so - but there are about 100 different Android phones each having about 0.6% of the market. So the apple phone cases sell about 50 times better than any individual android phone - so companies like Disney just bother with the iPhone.

I agree - love that coaster ... and the theming fit for a coaster set on a seaside boardwalk amusement park ... now, not so much

i think I might be most upset about that aspect! The Cove Bar is wonderful with tons of great drinks, a secret drink menu, and the Lobster Nachos are amazing!

And Ariel's Grotto probably had the best food I ever had at a character meal with the possible exception of Tusker House


And while I am in some ways glad Mickey's head is staying on the Fun Wheel - it sort of breaks up the theme of the rest of the area - probably should have changed it to just a giant John Laseter head or something

Impacts to entertainment during Disney Parks TV Specials production

Hmmm....I guess I didn't even realize they were still doing the castle projection show - I thought that was just replaced by the new Happily Ever After fireworks. As long as the new fireworks aren't impacted - I'm good.

Hopefully will get some good shots of all the construction and new stuff going in to share with my Rumor/News board peeps. And I'll be watching out for plaids in case they are touring celebrity singers.

haha, I have a 6, hate it (well, I hate all of Apple but need to use it for work), hoping to get a couple more years out of it though

I'm with you - I just had to get an Apple for work (It's also a 6.) Hate it so much I kept my Android and now I carry two phones. It is in some ways superior to my Moto X (battery life is MUCH better) but in many ways I think it's inferior. (They make some functions so difficult to work.) That said, I may pick up an IPhone case at Disney, because I never can get a Disney phone case for my Android phones.

I just get cases off of etsy - currently have one with the Jungle Cruise attraction poster on it

Lots of people love Cove Bar.

Doesn’t Inside our look like Fliks Flyers

Rumor

WDW News Today posted on twitter that the "Inside Out" attraction coming to Pixar Pier looks a lot like Flik's Flyers. This can explain why there might not be an opening date for that attraction. So, Bugs Land possibly closing for Marvel? Hmm...
