Thanks @rteetz !! This is my daily dose of Disney Magic and it always gets me excited for my next trip (not that I really needed help lol but still!) I love theorizing with everyone and hearing what everyone thinks. I look forward to 2018! I have no recommendations but I am looking forward to one of my childhood favorite's getting it's own land and experiencing that! I am also excited to see the progression of things like the gondolas!

@rteetz I don't come here often when I'm not planning a trip, but I always know which thread to check first and it's this one (followed closely by the rumor thread and major projects thread)! Thank you for everything you do around here!

I want to say thanks @rteetz as well. As you can see I have been an extremely long time lurker and daily reader for this to be my first post. I know that many folks find the long discussions tedious but I find they keep me in Disney just a little bit longer. I also can see that some can be sensitive at times. But, all said, I believe that everybody here pretty much respects each ones opinions no matter what. That, I feel, says a lot about this community and you. So I say Bravo! Happy New Year!

Interesting that in the map under the station at the Riviera is says "proposed" - I assume that is just legal reasons that since it isn't officially built and open they have to put something like that on it, not that there is any question it will exist

Most likely yes. It’s a rendering so things may not look exactly as shown either.

How much consideration do we think they’ll give regarding the “show” aspect of your trip? It’s one thing to get a behind the scenes peak but not sure I’m all that interested in seeing France’s dumpsters and storage containers (or any of those “scenes” at the hotels for that matter.

In fairness the monorail goes right over the loading dock of the contemporary as you enter the hotel. I guess they’re hoping your eyes will look elsewhere

They won't change much backstage although in terms of France, the back of France is under construction right now for Ratatouille.

AP holders, is there ever a time where buying an AP pass is discounted?

Only when renewing your pass. When buying a pass brand new I don't believe its ever been discounted really.

I believe the South Florida AAA office still has them at a slight discount (like $20 off or something) - but you have to go physically to the AAA office, can't do it online

‘Coco’ Tunes Up $500M At Worldwide Box Office

My parents saw Coco on Friday and loved it. They thought the story, animation, and music were great. My dad and I went and saw TLJ on Saturday, and my dad said Coco was better

Edit: Apparently autocorrect believes TLJ = Talk...
