Incredibles 2 trailer


As a mom who has to travel for work, and has a new baby, I'm looking forward to see this. And I don't think it's "dumb" dad, but dads and moms do run households differently. And of it's a household where the mom has done a lot of the day to day running of the household, having dad do it instead is going to have some issues. It'd be like getting a new boss at work. There will be differences, and some may work, and some may not. Like my husband doesn't pack the baby's bag for daycare or get the baby's clothes around in the morning. I do that. When I'm gone for work, he has to do those things...he's capable, but sometimes doesn't go quite smoothly. And to top it off, the baby is about ready to start crawling, and although not teleporting, it will dramatically change things in our house when he becomes mobile. If it happens while I'm gone, it could be very...um...interesting. My husband can handle it, but it will create new challenges. So I totally relate to this movie based on the trailers so far :)
 
Incredibles 2 trailer


I am admittedly a HUGE Incredibles fan as is my daughter. (She a HUGE Violet fan.) I am still very much looking forward to this, but I am trying to keep my expectations low. I feel like while the first movie was a great action adventure movie, it had this undercurrent of having something to say. (Particularly the whole "If everyone is consider special - no one is special" thing.) The trailers so far are capturing a very similar vibe to the original in the juxtaposition of family and heroism - but I worry that that extra bit of having something to say that Pixar often does so well may be missing. Of course, that special something is nearly impossible to convey in a trailer, so that part is "just wait and see".
 

The new PTN floats won't debut until Pixar Pier opens.
I think it’s just the incredibles float to come.

It was nice to see all of the lights working on the floats. Mac and slinky had gotten really bad at the end of the last run.

They also had to remove a piece from the Ariel float for it to clear the trolley wires.
 


I took a quick look just to check rates for here ... obviously this is just like rack rate, no promotions but for the week we are going (last week in August) cheapest room was $519/night and ones with MK/Fireworks views were $839/night ... not cheap but also getting really good service and amenities - better than any on property resort really. So if you get the EMH and 60 day FP, if you are already in the Grand Floridian range, might as well check this out/stay here instead

There are also times when there are discounts. I've seen a lot of length of stay discounts for them on Expedia and such. So it's possible you get a super deluxe resort for less then what you'd pay at like GF.

Funny. DH and I were just talking to friends about this last wknd.

Not to me. In WDW I want proximity. GF > FS :)

We choose BLT because we can walk to MK and monorail to Epcot.

F&W I like Epcot resorts or Poly (walk to TTC).

Couldn’t personally care less if towels etc are higher quality at FS.
