Disneyland is getting the redhead as a pirate, Redd, meet and greet.

I wonder how people will react/like this.

I know the day isn't over yet but I would have thought this would be the best day to announce Star Wars Celebration 2019. Do we think its happening or not? I believe they announced the 2017 one on May 4th 2016.

I did have the thought that DL was doing it to foster Goodwill with locals about the change.

I'll certainly meet her when I go over the 4th. So she'll have one guest.

AS2 is clever. I think of the “2” meaning squared, as in S squared= the letter “s” repeated. It never represented the actual letter “s” to me.
Not sure if that makes sense to anyone!

I know rteetz said to move this to the TSL thread, but wanted to add that I'm pretty sure I was the one who suggested AS2 months ago when we were discussing what it would be called. Though I'm sure someone here has the ability to verify or refute my claim. But yes the 2 was for S squared me being a math nerd and all.

Improvements coming to Walt Disney World lost and found

I think it may have been on a Disney Facebook page I frequent but someone posted a picture of a note they got from Lost and Found. It was pre-printed and said they had an item they believe belongs to them. I'm not sure if that's new or not.

I would love to meet her! Hopefully she sticks around until my next trip to DL.

We'll be going in August, can't wait to meet her!

Funny thing is WDW could easily do this type of Meet and Greet and it wouldnt be that hard to get a local area Cast member to play as a Pirate, There are enough Pirates in Florida that would have prob more garb then Disney would provide that could make that a easily doable thing at WDW

I really thought there would be more SWGE news or promo pieces today. I find their lack of faith in May the 4th, disturbing.

They seemed pretty solid on the every two years thing.

I always thought they just pushed merchandise on May 4.

Yeah so Star Wars Celebration was in 2017 in Orlando but was announced on May 4th 2016. We have heard nothing yet regarding the 2019 one. The rumor was the next one would be in Anaheim to hype up SWGE.

For the Skyliner/ratatouille discussion earlier there are new aerials that give a good sense of how close they will be in the aerials thread.

It looks like it has less cream cheese. I liked when you got one with a lot of the frosting, but everyone knows that's the best part of the cake

Well, I ljust be carrot cake and despise cream cheese so i’d prefer one with no frosting, please

In front of the local Disney store at lunchtime there were some Star Wars costumed characters before a news crew and a small crowd. There was a Darth Vader and the dancer with two tails on her head. Probably should have taken a picture for you, I was just kinda passing by....
