News Round Up 2018

[Moliphino]

I only spent $125 on the Adventurer's Club sign....and I regret that even less. And now that I think about it - the Enchanted Tiki Room sign was a gift.

I bought it years ago, it totally could've been $125. I didn't even think twice about the price on that, I needed it.

well as someone that has spent upwards of $10,000 total on catchers gear over the years for one of my twins and probably as much on golf equipment for me, $250 for a purse doesn't sound like too awful much.....Heck, the last year my boy played summer collegiate baseball I bought him a 5 pack of Marrucci wood bats for more than twice that and had to end up buying two more to get him through the summer. All things are relative I guess.

Yes, I said something similar.

I've found that is sort of with everything - they didn't grow up with Walt nor the original Disney product. Look at Shanghai - the pirates ride is based off the movies, not the original attraction and the Alice in Wonderland hedge maze is based off the recent Johnny Depp films, not the original animated version

I've also heard that is a reason that the Solo movie did even worse internationally than it did in the U.S. - they don't care about the original Star Wars movies, nor those characters, just the new ones

All good points...their Disney “history” is just beginning.

That's cool they are doing this. The official opening is June 30th though, right? So is the 29th just going to be for media or something?

I think the 28th/29th are media preview days. I'm heading over tomorrow to see if there is .0001% chance of a soft opening to the public.

I just read that the 29th is invitation only.

Yes just media much like the Pandora opening.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Yes just media much like the Pandora opening.

Ok, so 28th and 29th are media days? Same media? Maybe 28th is to show the land at night and then 29th is official media event?

Media and travel agencies.

They have a schedule of events going through new things. Much like Pandora which I believe was 3-5 days long.

Lol hmm I guess we know where the Dis team will be on the 28th and 29th.

Disney Being Sued For Plagiarism Over “Inside Out”

Seems kinda hard to prove - as Disney even did similar a concept before themselves with Cranium Command

Plus the TV show Herman's Head .... just feels like a concept that has been around for a while and hard to prove who came up with it initially
