Lots of people love Cove Bar.

Doesn’t Inside our look like Fliks Flyers

I think so...I posted something right after you saying the same thing lol. I find that picture interesting.

Here is a concept image for the cases.

I think I would be okay with that size.

I really like these but of course I have a 6.

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 guess I should have added to my chime in list going on about your phones....... don't really care but .........

The 6 will fit a case made for 7/8. They are all the same shape/size.

Except a 6 has a headphone jack and 7/8s don’t.

Cause the picture doesn’t show the bottom of that case, then it may not. On the 7/8 the speakers extended over to where the headphone jack was. So the not OtterBox case I have could work on a 6/6s.

So...my daughter and I just got back from a FL visit and we spent one day at Universal, but went to both parks (HP was the main reason we went). Aside from the really great job they did with HP world (all the details, etc.)...the parks were a let down and a lot of it was because of all the screen-based rides (even the HP rides were screen based). You can only be tossed around and spun in front of a screen so many times before it just isn't anything new/enjoyable. We both loved the two roller coasters (Rip Ride Rockit and Hulk)...but I have no desire to return to the parks again. Even though it wasn't a busy day (we didn't wait longer than 15 minutes for anything) HP areas felt too crowded to move around, especially in the shops. I can't even imagine what it is like in there during a crowded day. Unless it's just an issue of not having space, I don't see why they do so many screen-based rides.

THE HP COMMENT THOUGH
ITS SO HARD TO ENJOY BECAUSE IT IS JUST WAY TOO CROWDED!!!!
I wish it was better.

 

[MissGina5]

Ok I am FINALLY caught up! I just returned and now I am at a work conference through sunday. I did wanna say though Great job @rteetz ! I was sure to comment that it was great having you on and it was cool to hear your insight with the Dis Unplugged group! While you didn't have a costume though, the packers stuff certainly scared me haha. Hope you get to do it again!

Pixar Pier sounds interesting, not a lot of changes, just a bit of retheming, the Incredibles and Inside Out are finally getting attractions which many people have wanted for a long time, even if they are just rethemed California Screamin' and Flik's Flyers. Wonder of Mickey's Fun Wheel will still be called that?

Pixar Pier to Bring New Incredicoaster and More to Disney California Adventure Park Summer 2018

https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...disney-california-adventure-park-summer-2018/

NOOOOOOO ...we’re taking our boys in April 2018. So sad California Screamin (heck - the whole area) will be closed. I guess our consolation will be seeing the new nighttime show, but ugh - the crowds on opening weekend will be insane, I’m sure.

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...

What does that type of ride/movement have to do with Inside Out?

This whole thing is looking worse and worse to me. Would be one thing is this was just a temporary overlay (as that is what it looks like) but they were very emphatic in the article that it is permanent

Well it’s definitely cheap and quick considering it will open next summer.

I really always thought that this was going to be an overlay and not be permanent. I was at least expecting California Screamin to just be an overlay. When i read the article, I guess I was wrong.

I realize Disney is still going with the "pier" type feel, but I wish they made Inside out more of a dark ride.

They are just getting ripped apart on Disney Twitter.

Theme continues to go the way side.

Only good angle I see is now WDW fans can't complain about how "disneyland always gets all the good stuff that is so much better than what WDW has"

Well, I'm not surprised. When I was at the Parks and Resorts Presentation at the D23 Expo, this is the one announcement that everyone seemed clueless when they announced it. If I remember correctly, it was the least applauded announcement of the presentation.

Yeah Disneyland can have this for sure!

Time for Chapek to go. He’s done enough. Lol

Funny it was mentioned he would be the next Pressler since he came from consumer products like Pressler did. Is all about selling the product and making the most money rather than things making sense.

Why does Pixar stuff make sense on a old Victorian style Pier? What Pixar movie has a Pier in it?

It is what it is unfortunately.

Is there a pier in Finding Nemo somewhere? I thought I briefly remember seeing one. Cars 3 has a pier that they drive under on the beach.

Besides the point, I agree with you. This doesn't make sense. I have been against this change since the beginning really. My original post above was more of me accepting the change because I knew it was going to happen.

Nothing like a pier that DCA has. Those piers are just for walking out and stuff. Paradise pier replicates old amusement style piers like ones in New Jersey or Navy Pier in Chicago.
