News Round Up 2018

[TheMaxRebo]

We are looking to book over the 4th of July. Anyone with inside it even simi-inside knowledge have an idea or odds on if the SkyLiner willbe active yet?

I think speculation is late spring early summer so I’d say good chance it’s running by your trip but certainly no guarantee

I usually find the cupcakes completely forgettable but that one looks really good.

Sooooo, what would be refurbished?

Sooooo, what would be refurbished?

The fort, the bridges, the paths? Maybe working on the restaurant that was there? Not sure

That makes sense.

I have never been on Tom Sawyer's Island in all the times I've been to WDW. I've looked a pictures, but never went.

I'm going to make it a point to go when we go next.

Typically not one to get excited for a cupcake, but this one is really cute. It sounds pretty yummy but, as per usual Disney cupcake, WAY too sweet.

If I’m not mistaken they just did a big Reno on the fort and bridges...

Perhaps those mines? They could use a little plussing somehow...

Or maybe a fresh coat of white paint on the fence.....

Or maybe the track for the riverboat near the docks for the island. Doesn't the dates line up with the riverboat coming back?

RUMOR

Jedi Training to close

https://wdwnt.com/2018/10/rumor-disneylands-jedi-training-show-to-close/

I wouldn't be surprised if WDW's does too. Surprised they didn't design in a theater in the new land for it, and I can't see them continuing to have it active OUTSIDE of the immersive land. It'd be like having Ollivander's wand shop in Dr. Seuss Land at Universal.

Frankly it is so popular, I wouldn't put it past Disney to start charging for it as an "experience".

Bummer .. finally was planning some time to go over there now that my son is 6 (and use it as a place to give the 2yo a nap) .. oh well. Next time I guess.

They’re certainly not forgettable if you eat one the next morning. Tasty but deadly

Some menu changes and price increases at Trader Sams

http://blogmickey.com/2018/10/photo...e-head-mug-arrive-at-trader-sams-grog-grotto/

Wow.... that’s a serious price increase.

 

[Fantasia79]

Ever eaten dinner at Akershus? Kids meal is $36 for a tiny frozen pizza. Adult meals is about $60. It’s one credit.

Worst meal I’ve ever had at Disney. And the AC return was dripping on my wife the whole meal. They didn’t seem to care.

 

[Bing Showei]

Wow.... that’s a serious price increase.

I haven’t been following Disney prices long enough to tell the difference.

Are the price increases we are seeing this year with F&W, QS/CS, and TS greater than they have been historically? Or is this a cyclical occurance that happens with some regularity?

It happens. But if you look at old vs. new prices in the link, it’s a healthy jump

They are somewhat regular but this seems to be more than usual at one time.
