I beg to differ on this one...I feel like this is one of Disney’s most under-appreciated movies. It is such a sweet story; I cry every time!

Meet the Robinsons is such a fantastic film. It would work so well in Tomorrowland or Future World since it’s about inventions and the future. We can only dream though. By the way it’s on Netflix.

Take Lion King, for example. I think its perfect. What exactly is the point (other than $)

You realize you answered your own question. It's completely about money. They've all been massive hits. Billion dollar hits. Meanwhile movies like wrinkle in time struggle to break even. If your Disney, what are you going to do. People on here can say "oh I dont see remakes" but they still make a billion dollars which means more than 100 million people worldwide want to see them.

Not seeing it .. When I do that .. All I see are my plans .. (this upcoming Nov trip and a 2019 trip), but I see none of my friends/family plans such as my cousin's family for November and my sister's family for March 2019.

I turned sharing to ALL PLANS and then could see their plans, resorts, FPs and tickets. Seems backwards to me!

Storybook Dining at Artist Point with Snow White is now open for ADRs beginning mid December. I just snagged dinner, as that as all that was available. Hopefully this wasn’t already posted here.

Has Disney run out of ideas? Seems like everything is a sequel or a remake.

Isn't just Disney. Look at the fall tv shows: macgyver, magnum pi, Murphy brown, lethal weapon...seems like Hollywood has run out of ideas.

With the new pricing structure coming, has anyone heard of any price hikes in annual passes forthcoming? I am in the market for a new gold annual pass and am never sure when is the best time to buy.

Your point gets kinda muddied when you imply "new" this fall shows, yet two of the four you list (Macgyver and Lethal Weapon) are actually starting their third season.

Not answering, but adding to this question. Does anyone also have any idea when the blackout date calendar is usually updated? I'm wondering if gold passes will have extra black out next Nov/Dec for SWL? My friend has decided that early December next year is a great time for a Disney wedding. :-O

Thank you! I just booked it for February.

I think it is only dinner..... which is kind of bizarre. I got one too for January.

Agreed! Plus I love Todayland

Not as much out of ideas as they need to play it safe - and something with a built in audience already has a leg up on something that is brand new and needs to build a brand, etc

Plus obviously at least a segment of the population that is feeling nestalgic and not happy with the current landscape, etc

We haven’t heard anything yet but I think a lot of speculation on it and how they make guy change. Including if they will have a new level that has blackout dates included (like for DHS once Galaxy’s Edge opens)

Has it been confirmed that the new Artist Point character meal is still 2 credits on the dining plan?

I can't seem to find any availability even through April ugggg

I agree, I adore that movie. We even made Meet the Robinsons themed Drink Around the World shirts.

Menu and pricing for new Snow White meal at Artist Point

I have to saw it sounds pretty darn good and by Disney standards, considering the characters, etc, $55/adult doesn’t seem crazy ... those guys, like BOG the $33 for kids seems a tad high

Its 1 credit because its no longer a signature dining experience. Even the dress code is being dropped
