Danny DeVito is going to be in Dumbo?! Amazing.

This film isn’t Dumbo this is something else.

New ‘Disney After Hours’ Dates Now Available for Magic Kingdom Park

Thanks for posting! Went ahead and booked Aug 11 - this will be a first for us for this event.


ETA: Do I wish they kept MK open until 11pm/1am during August like they did in years past?? YES. I've complained about the cut to 10pm last year extensively on other threads.

But with a DAH booked and 2 late MK EMH, this gives us three late MK nights during our August trip in the brutal heat. So yes -- at the discounted AP rate I'll take it. Am I part of the problem? YUP, I guess. Will I forego this extra because of that, at the expense of my trip when we can afford the extra? NO.

Clearly Disney has made the calculation and determined that there are enough people like me out there in this solid economy.

Good......
He's about the right size but I'm not sure if Danny could flap his little ears fast enough to get him off the ground.....

Magic Kingdom has changed up its Starbucks mugs again. This time it features Tomorrowland.

I know it mentioned though that he would be in Dumbo as well. I am a librarian sir, I know who the One and Only Ivan is!

They really move fast with those mugs - I just bought the second version of MK a couple of weeks ago (at least I think it's the second version)...looks like Fantasyland.

I know I didn’t even get that version. I only have he originals of each park.

I was trying to get a couple more of the 2nd (or 3rd) editions, especially since I had an expiring AP and wanted the discount, but every time I tried to go to a store, it was bananas! Especially Animal Kingdom! I was waiting on something in MK so I had a little time to kill, so I invested it there!

As a dessert party apologist, welcome aboard.

My daughter and I did DAH for my birthday in January when we were there for a dance trip and had a great time, however the trend in the last few years to earlier close times is really unfortunate. I would have hoped they kept this event to "slower" times and kept longer summer hours but I'm happy you get to try it! In recent years, I often find myself struggling with the macro/micro thing when planning my Disney vacations and saving for a couple of "extras"...

Just announced: Sesame Street a SeaWorld coming in 2019

https://seaworld.com/orlando/rides/sesame-street/

The pictures they use In this announcement are from sesame place in Philadelphia (which is a seaworld owned park). I'm surprised it took them this long to use the rights in orando. Although, that is a nice little place, I hope they do more than clone the exisitng stuff. If they want to get back in the game with the big by they really need to step it up.

Hershey has a whip ride as well. It's the classic version that they have always had. My kids love it.

I bet Dorney Park still has theirs too.....

 

[beer dave]

Yes AlienSS (we REALLY need to come up with a good acronym for this one) should not have nearly the lines of the other two, though initially I'm sure they will be crazy long, but even Mater's stabilized at 20-40 minutes after Carsland was opened for 6 months, so I really think you'll see the same thing here.

What I am also hoping that these two rides (SDD and AlienSS) will draw FP+ away from TSMM that maybe you can actually snatch a TSMM FP later in the day. (Limiting folks to one out of all 3 should do that.)

How about SSoA....

 

[rteetz]

AS2, where a 2 looks like an S. I don’t think it’s that difficult.

 

[Spaceguy55]

ASfive

ASfive

lol right-- I was just about to say a 5 looks more like an s than a 2 does...... so AS5....

 

[beer dave]

For that matter, , make it A55...
