News Round Up 2018

Yup! The sarcasm was totally lost in me as I’ve lost count of the number of people on different threads claiming that Disney could not actually mean ‘fall’ when they say ‘fall’. Stopped looking for sarcasm after reading post after post of why Disney couldn’t possibly be saying what they said this morning.

As we have discussed endless times on these boards before time frames are fluid with Disney. Fall can mean August-December. People read way too into the vague timeframes Disney releases.

Keeps you guessing and provides wiggle room. I was there on Oct 31 and it was Halloween. Nov 1 was Christmas. Not sure of the basis but it reminds me of Willy Wonka’s bizarre rant when they are boating through the tunnel.

when Disney announces an official opening date we’ll all learn what it is. Until then my choice is to believe fall is Sep through Dec. To each their own and nobody can fault another person for how they interpret something.

For example Disney will often say Summer as an opening yet whatever it is will debut Memorial Day weekend which is technically still Spring.

I don’t think anyone is faulting you for your viewpoint. It’s more a commentary on Disney’s liberal use of the definition to suit their own purpose.

Testing will start in January. Cabins will starting moving in Spring (April). Fully operational for guests September.

To take this literally: Cabins should be moving in April would mean AOA/POP and CBR should start service to HS in April. Cabins have no need to move for 5 months without passengers correct? And, fully operational in September would mean all lines and connections will be moving in September.

That’s what I get out of this. Do y’all concur?

Cabins will be on and moving in April but without guests. Fully operational means all three lines will be operating with guests from all stations. No word if guests will be on prior to September yet.

Well poo! I was getting myself all excited! I’m taking one of my kids for her graduation present in the beginning of May. She’s getting her PhD in music from FSU. I thought that would be a great surprise for her.

Hey, Ryan - does fully operational mean A/C or will that be added in later? Thx!

While I generally agree with you, in the particular case of SWGE they said "late fall". No matter how disney wants to spin it, that's November-december. Maybe late October. Not September.

I can't tell if this is a real question or a joke. No offense meant if it's a real question, but if you followed the skyliner thread at all you would see why I say this.

NEWS/RUMOR

So per @BackDoorDisney on twitter, photopass photographers are being phased out at character meets to be replaced with an automated system:

"So the photo pass in character locations is being phased out. It will be an automated camera system. It will start at Tinklerbell. Seems obsurd. I wouldn’t lie to you folks. Heard it here first."


This is a photo of the box that is being used at the Tink meet that will take your photo:
