News Round Up 2018

I'll be honest and had no idea this was there, we usually just walk past the USA because, well, American and all... But I think it would be nice to see if it's well received. I really enjoy American history and now my son has found an interest in it as well. And since HoP is off the table for the next few years, might as well see it.

Highly recommend it.

I don't know how I might feel with "Golden Dream" changing. I might have to listen to it and give it a shot, but I thought that song was already perfect.

I noticed that too - definitely "wait and see" fo rme - if it is just a newer/bigger orchestration I am cool with it - but don't change it up drastically!

Breakfast event coming to Carsland

https://wdwnt.com/2018/02/cars-land-breakfast-rally-add-event-world-disney-california-adventure/

We did this for free during early morning magic - rode RSR Three times in 30 minutes using single rider. Sort of loathe having to pay $69 for something I've done for nothing. (Oh, but breakfast!)

Do we have an opening date? Or any guesses?

Searching elsewhere it looks like February 14th or so. I don't think that's confirmed from Disney though.

If you like American History and appreciate Audio Animatronics I would be surprised if you didn't love this - not to mention some amazing music!

This would be an option for people who can’t get EMH at DCA which is limited to just onsite DLR guests.

It’s like the Early Morning Magic event at Magic Kingdom.

I don’t think the song is changing other than a re-record so it shouldn’t be too different.

And they've done that before, I think. I think I have two slightly different versions downloaded somewhere (from back in the Napster days...).

UGH!! Though it was just a matter of time, I hate that all these upsells are making their way to DLR....

I have to be honest. After never even considering doing these things, the longer I stand in lines, the more and more these things start to seem worth it.

Bob Iger: Can I quote you on that and get your credit card number? Thanks luv u!

Sorry - what is this S.E.A. that everybody is mentioning?

It's a backstory that Disney created to connect different attractions.

Society of Explorers and Adventurers.

Adventurers Club, Tokyo ToT, Skipper Canteen, and Mystic Manor are all part of it.

Don't forget Big Thunder and Jock Lindseys Hangar Bar.

they have a number of artifacts (from the Adventurer's Club) that are in Jock Lindsey's but I don't think they directly make the connection as Jock Lindsey is form Indiana Jones so not sure they want to connect the S.E.A. to that IP

 

[crazy4wdw]

Well aren't you fancy

I would have loved to have been going since '71, but alas, I wasn't even a thought back then. I dropped the coin for this shirt though, so I can be nostalgic over things that didn't happen in my lifetime. Cause that makes sense.

I have one of those shirts also!!!! Don't think I've ever worn it, it's still in the shrink wrap!

This is at the top of the Hangar Bar menu.

Spring issue of the D23 Magazine highlights the Broadway production of Frozen:

Journey behind the scenes of Disney’s newest, coolest Broadway musical as the spring issue of Disney twenty-three takes fans into the world of Frozen on Broadway! The magazine, exclusive to D23 Gold Members, gives readers an inside look at the company bringing this magnificent musical to the stage, including the Tony® Award-winning creative team of Michael Grandage, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez, Rob Ashford, and Christopher Oram and its stars Caissie Levy (Elsa) and Patti Murin (Anna). The group spoke about their excitement for expanding the show’s story, score, and characters—including a dazzling, all-new opening number.

Readers will be whisked off to Wakanda to get the inside story behind the making of Black Panther, hitting theaters later this month, with director Ryan Coogler and executive producer Nate Moore. Disney twenty-three also visited the set of A Wrinkle in Time, speaking with director Ava DuVernay about her dazzling adaptation of the exhilarating adventure which opens this March.

Plus, in honor of Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s 20th anniversary, legendary Imagineer Joe Rohde shares 20 ways this innovative theme park—which he has worked on since its inception—broke the mold.

Also included in the spring issue of Disney twenty-three:

• A look inside D23’s 2018 Gold Member Gift, Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse
• The imagination and origination of Tokyo Disney Resort
• The inside-the-nursery story of Disney Junior’s all-new Muppet Babies

• A visit to the office of Disney’s Animal Kingdom vice president Djuan Rivers
• Regular features including Character Analysis, D Society, and Ask Dave

Minivans extended to Fort Wilderness as of 2/12. It will be interesting if they pick up and drop off at sites, or just up front and in the back. If they can go to the sites, that's a huge advantage over other options. Lots of people bemoan the internal buses at the campground, though I've never had a problem with them.

We have tried to use the Minnie van service 5 different times in the last week and were only successful one time. I hope they add more vans and drivers quickly to meet demand.

Good read about all the SEA connections at Disney properties.

I really want this issue, but I can’t renew my membership until next month.

What do you mean by this exactly? You were refused service 4 out of 5 attempts?
