I’m still not sure what they are going to do with it, but they do seem to have good chemistry!

I'm going into this with an open mind. I remember thinking what the heck was Disney going to do with a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film and look at the franchise they built out of that!

Ehh Rio isnt really that strong of a IP. Marvel and Lucas makes since for rides, but Rio not so much. Just because they bought it doesnt mean it would fit in the parks.

hey @rteetz - with the release of the food and wine menus and knowing they are having the festival center back at Wonders of Life pavilion made me wonder if they had finished the work that was being done to the pavilion. I know they were working on the roof but are they done with that and any word of other changes made? I recall at least rumors that it was going to be more than just basic repairs (I think there were some executives spotted at the pavilion at one point). Just wondering where things stand
The roof work is nearly complete as seen in the latest aerials. I am not sure what was done inside. I’d imagine things were at the very least cleaned up.

To be honest, I looked at a list of IPs from Fox, and besides Avatar and the Marvel IPs, I didn't see a whole lot that was up Disney's alley.

As much as I absolutely LOVE this show, I can't help but laugh that this is even an option.
1) They really needed to find any excuse possible to make the $99 Tier 1 Dining Package worth it. So, lets give guests the opportunity to use an animal expert as your safari guide after the show instead of the normal ride spiel.
2) I still don't even know if I would purchase Tier 2.
3) I am usually ok having a fastpass for this show.
So, I am actually curious which section in the theater the dining package guests will be seated at or if they will be seated all around the theater.

Does seem a bit over the top - but assuming it is similar to the tasting menu at Tiffins that is $49 - so for the tier 2 you are paying $25 for an alcoholic beverage and priority seating. For Tier 1 you are paying $50 for front row seating and the special safari ride. I assume sitting in these priority seats increases the chances of your kids getting picked to do the parade part of the show
So some value, but I think $64 and $79 would be more appropriate (maybe even $69 and $84)
I wonder if this is the ship that either Thrawn/Vader or Thrawn/Anakin stole in the new "Thrawn: Alliances" novel
