We’re Making Lost & Found So Easy … It’s Like Magic

while we always complain about things (Food/Crowds/ESPN/ETC) we hopefully have to acknowledge that Disney does a great job on things like this!

Disney Channel Renews 'Tangled: The Series' for a Third Season; But With a New Name

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Well, generally not a lot of positive news about ESPN but May was a good month for them: the network's overall audience was up 17% from May 2017, with primetime viewership up 31%.

You maybe right about the rechargeable tech. If they put it in the hotel rooms as well, I would say watch out for a resort recharging fee being added on Per Diem lol. But in all seriousness the tech is a kool concept and agree I could see Disney making a killing off of the light sabers and other gadgets running off of it, but I wonder if they have tested the effects of the wireless charging on things like pacemakers and other medical devices, knowing Disney I am sure they have or are planning to, but the interesting law suits we could see get filed on this tech if it goes into effect will be fun to watch and in some cases how it is decided might make interesting case law.

interesting case law.

I love an oxymoron this close to happy hour!

 

[Firebird060]

Oh Tech case law is always interesting to me at least and I am not just talking about patents. Yet I am one of those weird super techy disney fans so what can i say.

Secrets of the Pandora That Never Was

I was kinda 'meh' on the land. But, this article was pretty interesting! Didn't notice the carnivorous bat on the way to the river ride. And, I didn't have a clue about the backstory of all the plants. I think they need to bring back the "immersion team". !

Not yet. Later this year I believe is all we know.

I’d also like to say I invested in espn+ about a month ago. It’s kinda cool to get some different games, and throwing in all the 30 for 30s doesn’t hurt either.

It’s pretty fine with me for the 5 dollar price, but when it inevitably goes up I’d have to reconsider the worth of it

I can see that, we could see them working on it last night as we were walking through after closing. It looks like they have a lot to do, still moving a lot of dirt around at the moment.

What I found interesting is the comment about the finger scanning at all of lockers being removed. But nothing indicating how the lockers would be accessed once the finger scanning is removed.

Hallelujah, if they actually remove those pesky finger scanners from all lockers. They are the bane of my existence. Finger scanners don't like me, even when I know I am using the correct one and it's my finger, not my thumb My thumb just never works.

Yeah I was wondering that as well. We only use the temporary lockers and it causes such a mess when they won't scan your finger properly. Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't cause more congestion and time wasted around those areas. I do like the team members trying to limit how many people go into the locker area. You dont' need your entire extended family in there, 1 or 2 max, whoever is using the locker is enough.

I know, same here. I just let me son use it because his hands are young and unruined so far

I hear ya. It's why I just went ahead and moved to my middle finger a few years ago. Worked ever since with no problems. Easy to remember too cause after driving 15 hours well you know...
