Don't know why that surprises me, but it does...

RUMOR

MNSSHP will start 7/31 in 2019........

The first one always sells out. It's all the bloggers. It's why I was happy they moved them up so we don't have to go to the first one. The real test is how do the other 3 before Labor Day do, particularly next Friday's. If that doesn't sell well, they could move back to 8/24 next year. Of course, your scenario is more likely.

2021 announcement: To Celebrate WDW 50th anniversary, Halloween starts on July 5th!!!
 
Trailer for Star Wars Resistance


1st impressions is a bit disappointing as I hoped they were going for more 'all-ages' focused like Clone Wars and Rebels ... this seems more aimed squarely at the kids set (yet it's premiering at 10 PM ?)

Per @lentesta on Twitter Disney is surveying these names for the Ratatouille attraction in Epcot

These all seem unnecessarily long for something everyone is just going to call Ratatouille anyway. I'd eliminate Chef Remy from all the names, and Dinner Dash and Mealtime Madness are really the only ones that I like.

That would be funny, and then On July 5th they could have The Muppets in costume do a Not So Scary Version of the Great Moments in History but only the American Parts in Liberty Square. LOL

Good call. Didn't realize it's par for the course on opening night. But it makes complete sense with the bloggers and promo type stuff...

Nah...they'll just run MVMCP in July for Christmas in July :earboy2:
 
They're saving me from myself. Disney AND casinos? I'd be broke for real.
Maybe not in the near future, but I think one day you will see a Disney-owned a casino, nearby.

It might seem like an absurd idea today, but there was a time where many could not have imagined Disney producing violent action movies. The way casinos have spread to many parts of the country, they've become more socially acceptable.

Even if today's Disney has no intention of ever doing it, all it would take is for Universal to open their first one, somewhere. The fact is, it seems more and more, if there is money to be made in anything, that thing can be justified, by Disney.

I would hold off on that prediction until after I see one on a Disney cruise ship. That will absolutely come first since casinos and cruise ships aren't just acceptable, it's expected.

The problem with one on the ship is that it's much harder to separate it from the entire family than it would be on separate property - unless they wanted make it an adult-only cruise. I could see families totally avoiding a cruise with a casino on board, but not avoiding WDW just because Disney had a casino nearby.

Oh lord I need that Haunted Mansion backpack and wallet. So much for budget!

any idea how much those are? Not familiar with that brand are they super pricey like Dooney and Burke or more budget friendly (as far as Disney gets)?

They are far more budget friendly than Dooney, but still what I'd consider a splurge. The post said the backpack is $75 and the wallet is $50 which is a touch more than some of their other pieces. When I bought my star wars one, it did qualify for the 20% AP/DVC merch discount which does help.
