News Round Up 2018

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

You know, maybe I'm really showing my age here, but when these mammoth ships are announced, does anyone else automatically think about "Poseidon Adventure" like I do?

Well..does it show my age that when you say Poseidon Aventure I'm thinking of the 2006 film with Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas, etc and NOT the 1972 film lol.

100% that won't happen. DLR members won't have access to this, and WDW members won't have access to that one. (I say this because there is no crossing between the Tokyo one and the DLR one, so I am considering they would do the same here.)

No crossing between the Shanghai one either.

"There's got to be a morning after..."

I had to look that up...

So I guess the Wolfgang Peterson 2005 remake isn't strong in the memory of young people? C'mon it was only 13 years ago!

They even had a remake in '06. I can't remember if I've seen the remake, but the original is pretty good for a disaster movie.

That cupcake looks a bit like the Master's Cupcake from BOG.

I'm in the very early stages of planning a cruise for Summer 2019 (since WDW is a no go), and it's popped into my head on too many occasions.

I was 7-8 years old in 2005.

That movie was before my time but I did watch Titanic last night and thought about my upcoming cruise.

Another great one...but since we all knew how that was going to end, I guess it didn't have the same effect on me.... Still pretty intense!

You would think everyone knows how it ends. You might be surprised....

I love the BWI....but the one problem is that there is no "inside the resort" restaurant - I know you can get coffee and muffins at the bar in the morning, but having to go out to the Boardwalk to get a meal is an issue for me...not a huge issue, but prefer being able to just grab something inside... Snacks inside will help, but if they had at least prepackaged sandwiches or fruit, etc., that would be great.

That would be a nice addition, esp on some cooler and rainy days.

BelleVue does have breakfast sandwiches and fruit at least-a bit more than muffins and coffee anyway.

That was one of our big concerns, and it admittedly isn't the greatest, but we DID appreciate the availability of QS food selection between Boardwalk Bakery and some other spots on the boardwalk. Maybe this is because I'm DVC, but for instance staying at Kidani is worse option. When we were at Wilderness Lodge later in the same trip, the walk to Roaring Fork was as long if not longer, and also you had to leave the DVC building to enter the main building to get there. So I really didn't think this was any worse then many of the deluxe/DVC options for QS. (Part of the reason we like AKV - Jambo is the very handy QS location.)

Yea we hit BW Bakery for breakfast almost every day a few weeks ago. Very tasty.

I will say the food court at Dolphin being a short walk is nice as well, 24 hours a day to.

These are all good points... and like I said, it's not a HUGE issue considering the things that are GREAT about BWI. I guess I was thinking more of the convenience of those who want to grab something quick and head for the bus stop... going the other way to the Boardwalk, or Dolphin would be a good strategy for Epcot or DHS mornings....

I wish Disney did more of these types of exhibits. In fact, I think Disney's Animal Kingdom would be a prime location for a small gallery that houses actual art or artifacts. Partner with a prominent museum in Africa or Asia and rotate the art a few times each year. Nothing major...just an air-conditioned gallery space (maybe in Harambe Village) that showcases real art.

Or, go totally out-of-the-box and have an artist in residence. Have an artist studio that guests can visit and bring in someone different every couple of months. That idea could produce revenue, as Disney could see the art.

I love this idea, especially when you see the Kisii stone stuff they have in the shops. Having an artist come in from the Lake Victoria area and having them do it up close could be really cool. They could even do it like the Arribas Bros. store with the glass-blower, where you could place an order or pick up something pre-made.

I had the chicken sandwich last week. Thought it was very good. But mine looked much better than that. More bacon and cheese spread.
