I sent an email about the photopass... my first time complaining to WDW although it has been building up with all of the recent price increases and experience decreases. I got the same canned response as others. It really ticked me off because I put a lot of time and thought into every word I wrote to try to make the amount of disappointment come across well. I replied back to the canned response more angered and not as kind. I’m not giving up that easily. It seems a lot of people are making a stink on this one... hopefully the bean counters change their tune. I will most definitely never pay for memory maker again if a machine is taking my pictures.

I wouldn’t be discouraged by the canned response. Could you imagine answering each email sent in about this? But they are taking note of the amount of responses they get for sure. Whether or not that changes things only time will tell.

Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed too. When I booked I was under the impression they would have prime rib roast. I see it on the kids menu, but not for adults. I'm actually tempted to ask if I can substitute cause none of the adult entrees are appealing to me. My reservation is for Dec 16, so no reviews will be out yet.

I'm seeing

Royal Prime Rib Roast
Horseradish Mashed Potato, Hay-smoked Carrots, Popover, Jus



Crossing fingers!

I didn’t realize it was that soon! For our Jan trip we were just going to skip Epcot evening entertainment to do Hoop De Doo and MK DAH on our Epcot days since we’ve seen illuminations several times and it isn’t our favorite. We may have to rearrange plans now to fit the new one in depending on reviews and seeing as we LOVE Figment and I’ve heard he’s part of it.

So do we think they decided to go with a BatB sing along instead of Poppins in UK? Do you think this means BatB is out at DHS?

And of course Disneyland gets another parade while we’re still waiting for a MSEP replacement at MK lol.

We aren't getting a new parade really, it's the long awaited return of a fan favorite that was in dire need of a rehab.

I never want the MSEP Parade to return to WDW for one reason...WDW didn't take care of it.

In terms of the BatB sing along...It's still too early to tell at the point about the future of the show at DHS and the UK attraction.
 
Been posting in the Separate Destination D thread and @AMusicLifeForMe has a lot of the details above but here are a few images shared so far

From temporary show at EPCOT that will feature classic EPCOT music before new HUGE show coming later

Star Wars Hotel - will be more like a cruise experience than hotel stay with all guests starting at same time. Will make it feel like you are “docking” at the hotel

Are you sure the BatB sing along is coming to Canada? Based on the DPB article, it sounds like it is in addition to Impressions de France in the France Pavilion.
