Seems odd timing with the trian not running for a bit (but I know the merchandising arm doesn’t talk to the construction arm)

Train will still be open though and at the station with conductors as far as I’m aware.

New Cast and Crew Details for Disney+ Star Wars and Marvel Series

Seeing reports on Twitter that bubble wands went to $27 during those last price increases and have now went back down to $25. Interested to see if anything else goes back down. Possible price ceilings being hit on items?

I can't wait to use this... haven't been to WDW since it launched but we are finally going back in Nov 2019!

Hey @rteetz - have you any word on what that new structure erected in front of Tatooine Traders is! WDWNT speculates a new character meet location

Seems like a rather smallish structure ...Perhaps you are right...

I have heard speculation of a Joffrey's or something along those lines. Seems a bit weird to be a meet and greet structure.

Yeah, I thought the same - odd spot for characters. Joffreys’s makes sense as right now the stand is in a bit of an odd spot

Between this and John Stamos being at EPCOT Irma like the parks are competing for the “He’s so dreamy” award

I bet its a money roadblock. Disney must have realized it's greed caused a huge headache to all the cart CMs when making change. $25 including tax is a lot easier for guests to have readily available or to make change for than $27 including tax.

Clearly they need to replace those CMs with a box that can make accurate change quickly then

It’s also a number where I can think, “ok if it costs $25 or less I will get it for them if not, nope”.
