The last stunt in this video blows my mind:

Absolutely! Can I just say, it's all fun and games until they take over

Remember to reapply sunscreen to the back of your neck as now we will all be looking down at our phones playing the Play Disney Parks App!

And your ears, too!

I will fight to the death that Epcot is much hotter than ak.

That's all I got.

World showcase in particular is brutal. Open spaces of concrete reflecting the sunlight right back at you.

How people drink around the world in the dead of summer and don’t end up dead themselves is beyond me

I, for one, welcome our new animatronic dummy overlords

I'm right there with you pal! Last night I watched PBS "Alzheimers: Every Minute Counts" in it they say that the cost to help support those with this disease will mirror that of our national deficit and the cost at senior assisted living is $4,000 - $5,000 per MONTH. The report also includes those who suffer from Alzheimer have a long life span up to 15 to 20 years.

If we could use this technology to help those afflicted with any medical condition where support is needed, having robots would be priceless whether leasing or purchasing.

Indiana Jones 5 has been delayed by at least a year, to at least 2021. Hopefully this means Disney won't be rushing a quick reskin ride into the parks and takes the time to build a proper one.

Glad to see two people that are Corey/Craig sized (not to say they are huge but they are not child sized) fit pretty well ... I know Big Fat Band called the seats "big boy comfortable" - seems like they learned from 7DMT

Also loved Craig's shirt

Oh man, walking to Mission Space in the summer feels like you are walking across the Sun itself. I swear they don't add shade to that park, so that they can sell more frozen alcoholic beverages I also think DHS is much hotter than AK. That main area near the lake and in front of the Chinese Theater is pure torture. We usually flop down dead in 50s Primetime after walking over to it. Have a good trip

This seems more a case of "some people are idiots". I certainly didn't grow up with Chinese culture, but the idea of a child growing up and leaving home is universal. It didn't make me cry the way some pixar stuff does, but I thought it worked wonderfully.

Also, how does that work thematically when those characters are already there? Maybe they realised they messed up by not including a M&G?
