News Round Up 2018

[skier_pete]

not sure if this was posted yet or not but Marriott International officially announced the new hotel at the Swolphin site, will be called "The Cove"

https://wdwnt.com/2018/11/update-fo...sney-world-hotel-in-swan-and-dolphin-complex/

So what do we call the Swolphin now? The Coswolphin? The Swovolphin. The Swolcove?

2019 Moonlight Magic dates announced for DVC members.

Nice that they are announcing these fairly early, though if you want to use your DVC points to stay for most of them you are probably already SOL for booking.

Well then hopefully this is the side I will see more often.

Paint scheme looks a lot like the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

As of right now there is studio availability for every event date at WDW. Obviously the further out the more options. I'm trying to decide whether or not to add another trip into 2019 or save the points for visiting once Star Wars is open.

See this is exactly what they are trying to avoid. They don't want you to merge the names. If you would stop doing that they would give us better names. '

I posted this on the Community Board, but posters there did not seem interested. I was surprised. SpongeBob was always very popular with my kids, and, I admit, me as well. We also had some great interactions with the characters at Universal. It is sad to see this man pass, especially from such a horrible disease at such a young age.

must admit I was never a fan of Spongebob and my kids weren't really into it (and to be honest, we tired to not let them watch it) - that said, it is still truly sad whenever anyone that young dies. He clearly did have a big impact on the world

That is sad news, but I agree - that Spongebob song will get stuck in your head like whoa. The only thing I've seen thus far that causes a worse earworm is the Vamperina song. I'm sure there are others out there I just haven't been exposed to yet.

No, that hasn’t really been a thing in our house but I know the kids have been exposed at their mom’s house. I’ve also never seen caliou but I understand it should never be spoken in the presence of kids.
