Star Wars Resistance series coming to Disney Channel

https://d23.com/just-announced-get-...-star-wars-resistance/?share_token=964f1cbc8d

Considering that I think Clone Wars is head and shoulders better than the prequels and that Rebels is better than the ongoing trilogy, I'm more excited for this animated series than the next movie. Maybe they can make something out of Poe Dameron after they did a thorough job of trying to trash the character in the latest go around.

The Dameron comic book has been pretty solid (although not as good as Aphra), as has recently caught up to the events of 'Force Awakens'. It sounds like the new animated series could easily incorporate some of the great ideas and characters from the comic since it's canon ... I'd love to see Agent Terex make the leap from the comic to animated series

Well, it's not Rogue Squadron but it's probably the closest I'm going to get.

Dave Filoni is my spirit animal do I'm sure he'll do great.

But ugh to phasma.

Toy Story Land in Shanghai is now open

https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...hai-disneyland/?CMP=SOC-DPFY18Q3wo0426180002A

Caveat - I don't know much about what Shanghai Disney has to offer, but
Wow hasn't been even 2 years since grand opening and already a major expansion.

I'm sure it was planned prior to grand opening....but anyway....

This land was supposed to open with the park but postponed.

No reflection on you @rteetz

I find it frustrating we're hearing all this wonderful information about Halloween Horror Nights but not a peep from WDW about MNSSHP. Why do they seem to drag their heels

What do they need to say about MNSSHP?

HHN is a bit different with the themed haunted houses and different IPs that they use for them.

I don't think they change MNSSHP around very much year to year. Maybe a different meet and greet or two, but it's mostly similar. Just not that much to announce.

Specialty Treats, Entertainment Times, Magic Shots, merchandise, exclusive pins, magicbands, popcorn buckets, new characters - plenty change at these parties. I've been attending them for years and not one has been exactly the same as in previous years.

Those are all things I wouldn't expect until much closer. If something big was changing such as fireworks or parade then that could be announced early but no need to announced food and merchandise in April. Halloween Horror Nights doesn't even do anything like that.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Yeah I feel like a lot of the special MNSSHP photo pass spots are never even announced and just show up.

I'm ever the pessimist with the specialty parties at MK and I'm just assuming we'll prob lose a character or two and not get any new ones, since that is kind of the usual trend.

HHN houses are a much bigger deal, since we get new ones every year.

I'm excited for the pitch dark one but it will probably be terrifying. I hope we'll be able to maneuver in the dark.

There's a completely in the dark haunted house in Niagara Falls Canada and it's the scariest thing ever. Employees have night vision goggles so you can't see them but they can see you. You have to feel your way through the place, and even though employees aren't allowed to touch you they can come right up to within feet of you and then turn on a light and you jump out of your skin. And that's a cheap place. People will be bailing from that one like crazy.

I am going to need a group for emotional support for this house.
