And just for rubbing it in, you still won't be able to get a drink at F&W either whippersnapper!

I know. A measly six months too early.

Man, too bad the design for the youth shirt isn't available in adult sizes. It's easily the best looking of the bunch.

Agreed. Although I’d still get the grey one. I also like the pin. I am a huge AK fan.

I don't mind the women's design but I'd also like the youth's design if it was available in adult but the design on the front of the shirt. I'm not the biggest fan of the main designs being on the back in general but that's just me.

I'm pretty stoked about being there the week of the anniversary. It's the park I've probably spent the least amount of time in, so there's still a lot for me to explore for the first time. I can't wait for more details about the Party for the Planet to be released!

Very jealous. If I was gonna be there that week I would’ve booked the Joe Rohde meal.

I was 7-8 years old in 2005.

Just pointing out it seems more likely to have heard of that one than a movie released in 1972. Of course when I looked it up it turns out it was 49th at the box office for the year, so maybe never even made it to TV/Netflix.

If I was going on my usual trip with just the roommate and me meeting up with our CM friend, we absolutely would have tried to book it, because I bet it'll be great, but this is the 9-person extended family trip-a-palooza, so I'll have my hands full wrangling.. I mean... herding... umm... directing?...

I really like the pin a lot. I hope it shows up on the shop Disney app or there still available when I’m there in late May.

I used to agree. But, in this day and age, let me just say that as a man I find it a little less compromising reading/looking at the back of a girls shirt rather than trying to read the front if you know what I mean. For the most part I don't even try to read the fronts of shirts anymore. Never been called a dirty old man (well, allright not by a stranger anyway sorry Mrs. Tigger), don't want to start.

AK is the park that has continued to grow on me with each trip. Studio's has been the opposite. Hopefully the work there changes that.

I can understand that viewpoint and it's one that uhhh hadn't really occurred to me from other people's view of the design on me. For me it's because I want to see the design of the shirt I'm wearing. If the design is always on the back..I don't get to see it lol. Then again I suppose that brings it to a circle on your viewpoint on the matter

Totally agree. So many of my favorite things about DHS (after Tower of Terror, which thank GOD is still safe) were in the parts that closed, like the Great Movie Ride and the Backlot Tour.

Believe it or not, one of my favorite quotes ever in the world came from the front one of Morganna the kissing bandit's T-shrts (google her all you young whippersnappers- she used to run onto sporting event fields just to kiss one player. Did it all the time). Teetz will get a kick out of this because it is from the Old Packer head coach Lombardi. I have it posted right behind me on a white board.- " THE MAN ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN DIDN'T FALL THERE". I have a feeling when she wore it, she wasn't meaning what I meant when I have told my sons and baseball teams that quote hundreds of times to get them to work harder.

I wondered if this reference to the prosecutor's closing argument would show up in this thread. I think there were suggestions at the time of the shooting that the shooter's original target was WDW rather than the Pulse night club. I would assume that WDW was aware of the evidence which the prosecutor relied on in closing, and assume that the newer security measures are in response to information such as this but not made public as well as the unfortunate current risk to soft targets where crowds gather. However, the new security measures are directed towards the parks rather than DS. Interesting that seeing police officers in DS spooked the shooter causing him to change his target. I did see a lot of uniforms at DS last Dec., but didn't think about it at the time.

I am not an ogler, but if someone has something written on there shirt, they better not be mad that I am reading there shirt. Same theory goes for if you are going to wear pants/sweats that have words written on the butt, you better not complain that people are looking at your butt. (Probably not a can of worms I should be opening.)

lol well I promise I wouldn't be mad at you for that particular reason. The pros of seeing the design outweighs the cons cited at least for me personally.

We were at WDW last year for the 1 year anniversary and noticed a TON of security, way more than usual. Always be vigilant of your surroundings. I teach, and I have had this drilled into my head when we do lockdowns: run, hide, fight. Always sound advice.
