News Round Up 2018

[Capang]

No stores other than maybe a kiosk inside the land.

So I don't have to exit through the gift shop after riding AS2 or SD? I can't believe they'd pass up the opportunity to soak people coming off the ride. I'm not complaining though. I'm ok with this.

The Commemorative coin might be a good present for the Grandkids.

No!!!

I never fully understood why the change party function even existed in the first place.

Seems like they built in a FP abuse system and finally realized what it was?

Sucks for those who used it tho.

Removed, those that saw, now you know.

Kind of weird given how big of a merch pusher toy story is, but maybe they couldn’t fit it or it didn’t make the budget? Who knows

Yeah, this seems crazy to me. They put a gift shop inside Pandora for goodness sake! I can't imagine Avatar merchandise really outruns Toy Story (yes, aside from the Banshees!)

Does that mean everyone in your party will now have to have the same fast passes or will we have to select them individually or something to have people have different Fastpasses?

If I had to guess, based on how often their website crashes, their IT can't handle the super data mining. For the number of guests Disney handles, that's a lot of metadata. You have to have a good IT system to handle that, and in my experiences with Disney, they don't seem to have that.

As someone that is a data scientist and manages a large group of data scientists this drives me insane about Disney. They actually need to use this data! I have only stayed at Deluxe hotels in the last 10 years, yesterday I got a mailing for a moderate. Really?

Nothing really changes much except for when you have a FP and you want to change the individuals who have it. So say my mom and I have Soarin FPs but then my mom doesn't want to ride anymore. You could move that FP to someone else in your party. Now you can't do that you can only try to add another person if their is availability.

Disney’s Live-Action Sword in the Stone Sets Filming Date & Location

I'm not sure if I should be excited or not. Sword in the Stone is my favorite of Disney's movies.

I'm certainly not excited that it might be a streaming exclusive. That annoys me to no end. Same thing was done with the new Star Trek, and I still haven't seen it. Stop pushing your crappy streaming services by locking out IPs with existing fanbases.

Man, the hits keep coming. We visited on both our recent trips. I have to go to those bad counter service places to get anything? What's next?

Some people used it as a work around. You would book FPs on a ticket that wasn't being used that day and would then change party to someone who was there to get hard to get FPs.
