News Round Up 2018

[Roxyfire]

Oh C'mon @rteetz you got everyone on this thread....someone out there get @rteetz a Donald Duck magnet.

I've seen people on ebay who note in their listing that they have dozens of them. Are they getting one each day or something? If that's the case it should be easy for someone on here to grab at least one extra.

Glad I will be picking 2 up in June

I need a source....

and here I thought you were his source

They're cute and take up almost no space (I stick them on the white board in my cube) unlike other freebies that are not worth the time or space they take up. I know people liked the F&W glasses but I'm already maxed out on that stuff already. I was just gifted a set of those old McD's Disney World glasses from around 2000 so I have to find a place for those things too. It's never ending with the stuff. At least the magnets don't collect dust!

We have a set of those that have been in steady use since 2000, they're great glasses. We also have some of the other McDonalds Disney glasses (round ones, maybe from two different sets?).

In the case of flower and garden they wouldn’t let you pick one up each day at least in my case.

Yup, they were scanning your magic band and said that you already picked up a Mickey when I was there.

Yeah ok then, might be someone in the know making a bit of cash on the side. I'm sure they now realize the popularity of these things to keep them going, or at least I hope they do.

Nice and smart addition for HK's Frozen Land.

It will really help round it out and make it more appealing for the boy and girl "little thrill seeker" children that weren't addressed much with the previous concept.

edit: I was this child, even growing up visiting many times as a young child prior to being 40 or 42 inches tall ( aka tall enough to ride some of WDW's more "thriling attractions"; ever since I've been able to ride them, Splash Mtn, Big Thunder Mtn, and Space Mtn, and PotC and ToT hold more nostalgia from childhood to me than any ride in WDW's fantasyland (had I grown up visiting DLR, I may feel differently with their amazing fantasyland dark rides and the Matterhorn).

And to this day, these are right at the top of the list of my favorite list of attractions to this day.

Everytime I rideTMRR out at DLR is absolutely epic , growing up visiting the WDW version countless times, and first getting out to ride that one 3 years back as a 25 year old was amazing. I've been out there many times since over the last few years and I really can't get enough of it/them on either coast.

Love the no lap bar log and tidal wave that you get splashed with on splash MTN out at Disneyland also! What a treat it was finding out that they don't have the lap bar out there after almost forgetting how much better it used to be at WDW without it.

Looks like a Frozen style 7DMT. I need to make an Asia Disney trip in 2020 because i want to see this Frozen land and the Beauty and the Beast ride in Tokyo.

Aside from loosing our camera our first Disney trip, I am amazed at their lost and found. The best example is my son determined that he lost a usb drive after we had been to MK and EPCOT and when he went to lost and found in MK they had it. Given the amount of stuff they find, they already do a fantastic job.

7DMT was first thing I thought - makes sense to reuse a ride concept but with different theme to fit

I love BTMR. It was the first coaster I ever went on. My mom hated it (and all coasters), but she rode it for me. She really liked the year we took my cousin and she didn't have to ride it

WDW's dark rides used to be a bit better with Mr. Toad (which I loved too) and Snow White's Scary Adventure. I would really like to see the Mary Poppins dark ride that is supposed to be coming to Epcot. It's supposed to be like Alice in Wonderland at DLR. I think it could be a great addition to the UK pavilion and WS.

Me too. DS loves Donald. Hitting Disneyland this summer instead. No AP there or magnets, but lots of Pixar Fest swag to purchase.

They're cute and take up almost no space (I stick them on the white board in my cube) unlike other freebies that are not worth the time or space they take up. I know people liked the F&W glasses but I'm already maxed out on that stuff already. I was just gifted a set of those old McD's Disney World glasses from around 2000 so I have to find a place for those things too. It's never ending with the stuff. At least the magnets don't collect dust!

We don't have a magnetic fridge, but we specifically had magnetic stainless steel put behind a desk in the kitchen during a remodel just for magnets I also put them on my scooter, which has a metal body. They are also great for the stateroom door when you do Disney cruises.

REVIEW: Carrot Cake Cookie Altered in Move to Trolley Car Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

It looks like it has less cream cheese. I liked when you got one with a lot of the frosting, but everyone knows that's the best part of the cake
