I would LOVE to go to this, as I love the “Roaring 20s”! One of the few moments when I wish I lived in Orlando again.



You are a good sister!

she should pay me commission honestly

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.

I mean I guess as I said my boys love Princesses as well they never said ohh where are all the "boy" stuff. I know my youngest loves the Vampirina show. That said loading up lots of preschool characters would really make no sense in the park because I can tell you from countless experiences many children under the Age of 5 are terribly frightened of live costumed characters. Now if you want them to rotate the ones that are there and take out the preschool aged girl characters for more boy geared characters It looks like they are trying to do that. But I'm sure they won't at the expense of very popular characters.

Uniqlo to Celebrate Second Anniversary at Disney Springs with Prizes and Special Offers

My daughter and I are excited for this we loved the Disney springs store especially all the Disney springs exclusive Disney items they have.

fair enough; I stand corrected regarding interest in Gatsby - themed events.

To be honest; I have yet to step foot in, let alone dine in the completed Edison, so I'll definitely take your word on it Ryan.

The challenge with a lot of Disney Jr shows is Disney doesn’t fully own all of them - so things like PJ Masks and Puppy’s Pals are not going to be in the parks

The did have a Lion Guard quest thing in Animal Kingdom (honestly not sure if they still do or not) and they used to have the Cars meet at DHS

When we went to Disneyland in 2015 I didn’t find it any better and found DCA to be really challenging with toddler age kids in general

Just saw Christopher Robin. Very delightful. Of course the story is very similar to hook and finding Neverland, but let's be honest, there's only so many different story types out there.

I was never the biggest Winnie the Pooh fan but now I want a new style Pooh.

If you see it.. Stay during the credits. There's a very special guest. Very 'old Disney'.

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

We just got our son one at Disneyland the first day they came out. I'm not a huge fan, because it's a little stiff. The limbs rotate at the joints, so the joints are plastic. It reminds me of the Steiff bears, which I don't like. I wish I had known. We could have picked one up for you I am actually going to take him, the bear, to see Winnie the Pooh in 10 minutes

I actually kind of like that. So maybe he is more of an old fashioned style bear, which is probably what they were going for?

Let me know what you think about the movie, I really liked it. Pooh was fantastic.

Oh, and you guys should come out to Alamo City Comic Con over the weekend before Halloween. Jim Cummings was just announced, and they already have the original Tinkerbell model, Ariel's voice, Belle's voice, Pocahontas' voice, Mickey's voice, Donald's voice, and lots of others.

That's funny, I noticed a while ago they were just on the verge of that number, and I'd wondered if they would keep it in theaters to try to hit that mark.

Pooh enjoyed it very much Actually, I thought it was excellent. Reminded me why I love Pooh so much. I like the Pooh characters more than the Fab 5. Sacrilege, I know

What a sweet simpleton. Look at that face.

Also, I miss the Drafthouse.

That's the version of Pooh released for the Christopher Robin movie. I do like his face and eyes. They are different from other Poohs. After not doing Alamo for a bit, I really missed the benefits.

We do have one in Kansas City downtown, but it takes a while to get there and isn't always convenient, especially now that we have movie pass and drafthouse doesn't do e-ticketing so we have to wait til we get there to buy tickets.

I hate having to go in person to get tickets. We do that for the birthday tickets that we get from Alamo, but sometimes I am so lazy that they just expire
