News Round Up 2018

First photo of article shows stands with what appear to be different books and items so it may be a pop up gift shop.

Ah, I see that now. I was so excited for the posters I skipped over that one! I don't see that exact book, but I'm happy that there are Disney art books there. I love so many of them.

Apparently, my words may have been prophetic:

Screamscape is not a great source for WDW information.

Screamscape is not a great source for WDW information.

It sure is surprising that the local ABC affiliate would use them as a source.

Yes I am definitely surprised by that. Screamscape I find to be better for international and west coast parks than WDW or Orlando.

I do, and I agree it's not good. But Disney Now does weird things (at least with all of our Roku connections). There are times it won't load. Times when I home out of it the audio just keeps playing. It takes forever to load. I usually need to log back into it at least once a week. I mean, maybe it is just our Rokus, but it is just terrible. My daughter won't use it for her Disney Junior shows, she still goes to the Disney Junior app when she wants something not currently on.

So you don't feel crazy, this happens on our Roku, too, though it is better now than when it first came out. I thought the old channels were combined into it and didn't work anymore.

Dang it, Ryan, I didn't read the "mugs" part of that and thought the characters were coming for a minute. I don't usually do M&G, but I would for Darkwing Duck!

Darkwing is sometimes out for runDisney races.

Thank goodness it is the original animation and not the new crud.

Hollywood Studios extends operating hours for and after Memorial Day weekend...

Uninformed Speculation

Since it looks like on HS extended hours, could this be a signal of TSL being ever more so close to being ready?

Yeah. You just have to get up far too early for me to do one. I did it once. Never again. If I did get conned into by my friends like last time, I'll just stay up that late.

Well I did just do it four days in a row so you’re talking to the wrong person

I know! Good for you though! Big accomplishment! I like running, but you know, during day time or night time, like normal people

Talking Mickey is leaving the Town Square theater come May 2018. This is a cost saving move and non talking Mickey will replace him.

I’ve read some posts about a ‘possible’ Disney streaming service. I didn’t realise this wasn’t available in the USA. It was launched in the UK last year and has been available in Ireland since October. We got a year subscription as part of our WDW booking. It’s very good with a ton of content. The only thing missing is the brand new films but I’m sure they’ll come
