News Round Up 2018

[Disneymom1126]

Will these literally and figuratively signal the end to the rose gold crap...I mean phenomenon? Or am I already behind the times...again?

I just wish the all glitter/sequence everything trend would end! My DD for the first time wanted to buy ears this trip but didn’t want glitter. Ended up with the blue 2018 ones which are cute (bow has little pictures of different MK related things), but she wanted me to get some to wear with her, but there wasn’t a pair I liked because they all were glittery...except two pairs of Christmas ones, one of which had furry balls for the ears

Those look awful. I wouldn't be happy if I was running and getting any of those. I get what they were trying to do but I think it missed the mark.

Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Closing Earlier November 25-December 22

I guess it's construction related. Have these ever had hour changes before? I can't remember the times ever being different. Also the article is either wrong or the time has changed because Fairways always shuts at 10:30 not 10 or did I miss a previous time change.

I don’t remember any previous time changes.

Rose gold was so 6 months ago

At Destination D, there was a section on Merchandise. They didn't go into a lot of great detail. But the whole ear craze is going to get "worse" next year. There are plans to have more specialty ears, some designed by celebrities. I think my eyes rolled into the back of my head when I heard this. I can only imagine what this will actually end up being.

My eyes were rolling to the back of the room with yours That was one of the parts of Destination D that I disliked the most. I like the old, collectible merchandise, but a lot of the new stuff I can't get into much.

Wow, potentially over a year is quite a while

I always love riding the train but I am looking forward to getting some up close photos of the train parked at Main St - I am glad they are doing this

Wdwmagic says it will reopen in January so who knows?

Sure hope they can somehow blow the train whistle...it's always nice to hear that as you get close to MK

I wonder if WDWmagic got the year wrong and it will be closed until January 2020? That seems to fit more with the work to be done.

Not sure. We don't know what the extent of the work is being done to the train.

 

[buteraa]

Yeah I saw some reports on that.

I'm sorry but someone who has a magic band addiction should not be commenting on ears (yes I have the rose gold ones and maybe a few/lots of others).......

Any chance they have to change the path/track over by where Tron is being built? It seems to go right through where a logical path to get to the ride would be based on what we saw when we rode last week.

I don't believe the train track itself is being moved.

I guessing WDWMagic has the year wrong. It’s been speculated that the train will be closed for over a year and other sites are reporting this.

Time will tell but my money is on it being closed until 2020.

According to sources, this will be a project that has several closures. This is likely just the first one. Disney doesn't have an opening date yet on the WDW site calendar.

. I hadn’t heard this so didn’t realize multiple shorter closures could be a possibility rather than 1 longer closure.
