I heard stitch is closing for real today?!

Yep!

I guess it's time for some "paper training" for Slinky Dog! Looking forward to seeing TSL. Not sure we'll get to DW before the 2019 crush. So, it may be a while.

Yep!

What’s the latest rumor on what’s going to replace it?

That’s still up in the air.

That’s still up in the air.

I’m totally going to read that as an Up balloon ride is going there and start that rumor.

Also any chance Moana will be meeting in the next 2 months? We have an early march trip and all four of my kids love her. They’ll be disappointed if they don’t get to meet her.

I haven't heard of anything outside of a rumor that some of the construction in adventureland is for a M&G for her - but I think the speculation is much of that is for the new Club 33 location (though could be room for both) but don't think that will be done for a while

While the attraction is awful, I hope they wouldn’t shut it down with no plan in place.

A little off topic but Imo Mickey Views is 10x better than DSNY. Brayden is a high school kid doing best he can and reporting actual news. If something is a rumor he says so unlike DSNY who “confirms rumors” without anything official. I can expand on the topic if anyone cares but just thought I would share lol.

I went on my Disney Parks app and it no longer has stitch listed as an attraction. In the past during seasonal operations it would just say “temporarily closed” but now there is no where to tap and it is not listed in the side menu of all attractions.

Just wait til WDWNT or DSNY references your post in an article then someone posts the article, because you know it's gonna happen.

Thanks for sharing, he's got some great production and editing skills for a high schooler.

My sister is at Epcot this morning and said that at the bag check they are making everyone take everything out of their bags. Is this normal protocol? I don't remember this happening to me on any of my recent trips.

Was in EP 3 times last week and never had to do this.

Seeing on socia media that the parks are slammed today. Just looked up wait times, yea, they’re high. 180 min for space mountain.

@Mackenzie Click-Mickelson I’ve done two vacations to KC and had Boulevard there too. Excellent stuff on they are brewing. Took some home.

@TheMaxRebo & @Mackenzie Click-Mickelson I hope they’ll rotate more, agreed beer list is too similar. With how the drink menu looks, I would expect to see more meade & aperitif as they are really trendy right now.

Side note for beer drinkers here, my best friend is a brewer. He just left brewing for Lagunitas for a brewmaster job at Three Floyd’s. Yes. I always ask him what to drink anywhere I go. He’s also a huge Disney fan.

Was in MK on Tuesday and Thursday. Run WDW made a huge difference in crowd size for Thursday. I also think people that didn't go due to weather were catching it.

 

[Q-man]

Just looking now. 295 minute wait for Flight of passage, yet 105 for navi, 110 for EE.
Just shy of 5 hours.....who is actually waiting in that line......everyone?1

We rode FoP for the first time this week. We got off and contemplated getting in 4.5 hour standby line to ride it again due to how blown away we were.

NRJ is too short. It needs another 60 seconds to get you immersed into the environment before what is there. It may have been better if we had ridden FoP first.

BREAKING: The Circle of Life – An Environmental Fable in The Land at Epcot Closing Forever, Possibly Linked to Brazil Pavilion Construction

News

WDWNT is reporting that Circle of Life will be closing next month, potentially linked to a future Brazil pavilion

NOOOOOOOO! lol, I know it's not a big attraction, but DD1 and I loved it when we saw it a couple of trips ago. I really thought DD2 would like it, but it's closing a week before we get there ... bummer.

Pretty sure that is a daily task of his moderating duties.
