Christopher Robin banned in China ... likely due to social media memes where they compare Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh

Unless I’m missing something these are seriously the least offensive memes I’ve ever seen. Grateful to be in the USA

It’s become a symbol of resistance against him so more the message behind them than the memes themselves

Geez. Remember what I said about Christopher Robin's Box office total not counting so much as the merch? Well I decided I wanted a stuffed Pooh bear and they are all sold out oh bother

I just think it’s amazing that they’re so restricted there that memes that are seemingly innocuous have that power. Compared to how we criticize our leaders here it’s such a stark contrast and a reminder of the freedom we have. If I was going to pick a movie that would be banned this summer I never would have guessed Christopher Robin

Unless Disney somehow works out a deal.

• Perhaps a sign, as expected, that they are worried about attendance next Summer as this covers the Summer

Most interesting to me is that they are giving it during December - and right through the 24th. Don't we all expect Star Wars to be open by then?

In terms of character dining, definitely not the case. Eliminate the places with the Fab Five and Pooh and it's all princesses. There are 4 princess-themed dining experiences right now. The Hollywood and Vine character dining was the one left that had boys stuff and girl stuff. Personally, I hope they switch out Sofia and keep Jake. Toss the boys a bone!

On a side note - I know they are limited in the Marvel characters, but wouldn't a Pixar dining experience be amazing?

Disney Jr’s Vamiprina coming to Disney park’s - part of halloween parties but also regular meet and greets and tab hollywood and Vine

I think it is a pretty good shown but calling the songs “Broadway-caliber” seems a bit of a stretch

As a firsthand witness to the 2-5 year old girl demographic. This will be huge in my daughter’s eyes.

Also, huge thanks to Disney for putting her in a dozen locations and not just at Hollywood & Vine.

Who asked for this? There are so many more interesting/fantastical themes that they could have gone with at the Edison.

I think a Gatsby themed event works there. I have only been to the Edison for lunch but enjoyed it.

I didn't ask for it, but it sounds fascinating to me.

I don't agree with this between Marvel, Star wars, Cars, Toy story and the regular Disney characters Boys are more then covered...

The WDW experience for a preschool boy who knows nothing of Star Wars (not age appropriate) is very limited with regards to characters. No Marvel, no Cars (yet), just princesses everywhere you turn. Toy Story is a great addition and there is a bit of pirate stuff which is nice. The main Disney characters are for all, but beyond that it skews heavily toward girls. We'd love to see Puppy Dog Pals, PJ Masks, Lion Guard, Cars, etc. Disneyland seems to do a better job on this, although I haven't been there in 2 decades so what do I know, lol.
