News Round Up 2018

Being from NJ and having a friend that moved to SC - Mellow Mushroom is decent pizza - most other places try but fail - and when I lived in CA any place named "NY" or Brooklyn pizza was straight out lying.

Yes Mellow Mushroom is good but I will not turn away from a nice Meat Lovers from Pizza Hut.

Len Testa believes Disney will implement its tiered multi-day ticket pricing this fall in either September or October.

Good to know as we are planning an October 2019 trip with my brother and his family and I want to make sure we purchase tix before any price hike...or now tiering...or both!

To take on Netflix, Disney faces a challenge in embracing technology

There's a lot of truth in that, but I do find it interesting that it was put out by Comcast's NBC.

You could but then would miss out on the renewal discount.

But if you're buying now, with the intent to use in 5-10 years, it would be a good bit cheaper than any renewal price. Or am I not understanding how they intend to use them?

If you buy now and intend to use years from not yes. I wouldn’t buy a bunch now and use them consecutively though.

Also, they could (and probably will) take away renewal discounts. They already did that this year for DLR. I understand the markets are different but don’t assume that renewal discounts are guaranteed. So yeah, I would agree with you that it wouldn’t hurt to buy now for later use.

New trailer for Nutcracker and the four realms

http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories...ailer-for-the-nutcracker-and-the-four-realms/

Can’t help but think this movie is going to be another flop for Disney. I do think it looks good but fear that it only appears to a certain audience. It’s fifficult for a Christmas movie to appeal to everyone from the get-go due to obvious reasons, but usually the people seeing these types of holiday films are families with younger kids. To me this seems like a bit too dark of a film for some children and as I said above it will only appeal to a small audience. Of course anything is possible since How the Grinch Stole Christmas was the highest grossing film in 2000 (I think) and this art style and tone has worked out for films like Beauty and the Beast, but we will have to wait and see.

I don't think it is intended to be a major blockbuster. It is a Christmas/Holiday themed movie.

Either do I but in the end I still just don’t see a huge profit
