News Round Up 2018

They used to have one in the Land pavilion. Most of what I remember is hanging out drinking hot chocolate in the middle of August and taking tons of the free temporary tattoos they had out (I was about 13 at the time).

Yes, I remember that. There was also one at Animal Kingdom. Seems like it was in one of the dining rooms in Pizzafari

Id be happy with a 60 day FP window....

I would like a lounge in Epcot like the DVC lounge. Just in one park would be fine.

These are definitely things that we really value from staying onsite and being DVC owners -- especially the 60-day window! Don't know that they'd want to give the 60 day window to AP holders since they use that to attract onsite stays...

Disney and McDonald's are getting back together again.

Oh, this is not good for me! I'll want to collect all of the toys. During Walt Disney's birthday celebration in 2002, the happy meals contained Disney character figures. There were 100 different characters and I drove all of my family members and friends crazy buying happy meals so I could collect the entire set.

I still have some of my Disney Happy Meal toys. They sit on my desk. This article was walk down memory lane with these old commercials. https://www.laughingplace.com/w/blo...meal-toys-sure-bring-back-childhood-memories/

Saw in Facebook Illuminatoins 2.0 coming in a matter of months and they’re recording the soundtrack now.

Just click bait?

I think their “soon” aspect is not so soon. 2019-2020 is the projected timeframe for a new show.

Can’t you just buy the toy and not have to get the entire Happy Meal?

I have before. I think the toy was $1.00

I remember those ones in the VHS cases!

I've told DH a few times he's lucky I don't have my own desk/office at work... I'd be buying the playsets they sell in the Disney stores and the parks just for certain characters... like Dante, Gerald...

@TheMaxRebo well lookie what we have here

I'm not too familiar with S.E.A. Are there fantasy/super natural elements within that story?

Well, to an extent - but they are explorer’s so things like searching for the Fountain of Youth would fit right in - so her character could be a member of the SEA

I had the little car characters and the 101 Dalmatians. I have toys in my cube and desk at work. My husband laughs at me, but I have a lot of people stop by and play with them. My little stuffed magnetic Figment is the favorite to play with. He gets moved around my file cabinet at least once a day. I have a little Chewy that people like too. All my Disney pins are also stuck in my cube wall. I figure if I have to work in a cube, it's going to be fun.

I have about 80 different 101 Dalmatians from the happy meals when McDonalds had them. There were 101 different ones. I worked at McDonalds at the time so i made sure I was not getting duplicates. I still have them in a box in the attic.

I know they'll let you do that now, don't know if that option was available in 2002.

I want to say a few thousand? Not sure if they increased the capacity from last year.
