News Round Up 2019

This looks really good.

It sounds good, but might seem a bit out of place with cozy blankets and firepits in the wonderful Orlando Summer season. Me thinks the chef's might need headbands....

It's been confirmed from first hand experience of a poster that it works the same way it did previously. They are completely unconnected to the rest of the system. It will be interesting to see how fast the FP run out.

Thanks for the follow-up. I was on the Disneyland forums here and was going to post this also as confirmed to work as you stated.

They always gone right away before in the morning. So I do wonder if you can get them during EMH or only once the park opens like before. If during EMH, then those without that entitlement will be severely limited in grabbing one now but a nice bonus for those on-site and staying longer.

Some items have limits others do not.

I thought they were only cracking down on people reselling AP exclusive items from DLR. I hadn't seen any reports except on those items. Otherwise if no limit count exists you could buy what you want and if a limit count exists I hadn't heard of them stopping you from reselling (again aside from AP exclusives at DLR).

That's really too bad. I know people have to make a living but this is ridiculous not to mention frustrating!

I don’t think the date changed - I had heard this as a rumored date for it for a while now ... they hadn’t given a date before

RUMOR: ABC Commissary at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Closing for Brief Refurbishment on May 4th

Hmmm, not the worst thing in the world to be closed for refurb when I'm there, I suppose, but still, fewer places to eat at HS isn't great. I'd be happy for a "seasonal" PizzaRizzo opening while ABC is down just to have options.

The music in EPCOT Forever is going to be amazing along with the visuals of the kites. I just wish this show wasn’t temporary. I’m still very nervous about the IP in the permanent show.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Well I’m feeling grateful that I get to see Illuminations AND Epcot Forever this year!

Trying not to be selfish as I’m thankful for any time we have at Disney but, sure wishing we’d be there during the short run of this show! Guess it will be watching online for us.

Wow, we get to see the last night of Illuminations and opening night of Epcot Forever! We adjusted our dining reservations tonight. Hopefully it won't be out of control either night.

Exactly. This sounds like a show Epcot needs permanently. We don’t need another version of HEA there. I was really excited reading the info about this, but then a little crestfallen when I remembered it was only for a limited time.

Well, then I am selfish right along with you as I feel the same way. We are there in August - so very glad we get to say “goodbye” to illunimations but likely will be a while after that before we get back so I expect to miss this show. Thank goodness for the Internet and YouTube and being able to watch on our TV
