News Round Up 2018

I have seen two in my May Facebook group.

Ok thanks. I have seen this rumor I just haven't heard any actual reports. That's unfortunate.

I have asked and will report back once I hear something. Rusty is usually reliable, but it never hurts to confirm. I was intrigued by the rumor of the character breakfast at AP, too...

Why not add an overpriced character meal with mediocre food to bring in the money while decommissioning RF, WCC, and AP? I'm not bitter hahaha

I just read in a Facebook group that someone had her birthday dinner there tonight since its her favorite and inquired about the experience since there was no sass, dancing, etc and she was told there were too many complaints and it is a new policy. A CM who claimed to work there chimed in and asked people to write/take surveys expressing how people feel.

ETA I read another review: Said there were some antics, but subdued. Server threw down straws and then apologized saying "oh sorry, habit, we aren't allowed to do that anymore". You are also allowed to yell for ketchup, but the server is not.

So maybe its just tamer?

Complaints? What would people be comparing about? They advertise it as a show type meal. It’s all part of the experience. Glad I got to do it once.

I know! It would be like taking the antics away from the HDDR, table etiquette lessons from 50's Prime Time Cafe, Stitch from the Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast, etc. It made it unique.

If they get rid of 50’s antics they’ll really start to lose my money.

NO...Not Designated Survivor!!!!!

Will they finish the second season?

Isn’t next week the finale? That has to be filmed already so yeah they would finish it. It is cancel/renewal season for all networks so this usually pertains to shows for next year. Several shows are moving networks.

I don't recall them saying it was the finale in the last preview I watched. I could be wrong though since I know it should be coming up. This makes me sad since it is arguably the only T.V. show I watch. Everything else I watch is either sports or contest shows.

I also watch it but didn’t remember if it was the finale or not next. All the other shows are having their finales so I just assumed.

I love Indiana Jones but this rumor makes little sense. Yes , it's the same track but this is a major overhaul of not just the attraction but the entire land, so you are talking hundreds of millions of dollars. And beyond that the theming doesn't fit the park, it's not like Indiana Jones is so massively popular these days. I guess I'm saying ill believe this one when I see it.

The WCC one, we were put in the far back of the restaurant back in February and had no antics at all. This was the second time well have been with no antics, and wont be back as the food wasn't worth it. My guess is without the antics the popularity will plummet further and they'll bring it back.

Quantico was an amazing show it's first season, but season 2 didn't work at all for us. We were just talking last night and couldn't remember how it wrapped. Currently DVR season 3 but not sure well bother.

Rumor is Indy might be back on the table for AK and Dinosaur could close as early as next year.

But, isn't Donald's Dino Bash becoming a permanent fixture in Dinoland? And the Wilderness Explorers moving to Dinosaur extended queue permanently? That implies Disney are doing something in that area that is still dinosaur related or what would be the point of making these changes permanent? I really enjoy DINOSAUR and would hate for it to disappear

Nothing is really permanent at Disney. Things change all the time. This is still a rumor so nothing official until Disney announces such and even then things can still change (ex: Main Street Theater).

If this is happening it makes me wanna change my reservation there next month. The nonsense antics are half the fun.

Plus they had a system in place where you could opt out of the “show” antics if you wanted to.

I didn't know this. We avoided this place to eat as it somewhat reminded us of HDD; it's just not for me/us.

I still think Roaring Forks at WL is a solid QS option.

It’s been a few years since we went but I think I recall a system like that in place.

It’s a shame if they remove all that stuff. Sure it’s not for everyone but there’s tons of other places on property to eat if that’s not your speed
