News Round Up 2019

I don’t believe they have to sell anything else.

The article says

Disney agreed to sell the properties to get clearance for its $71 billion Fox takeover, a transaction that closed earlier this year. Regulators were concerned that the company would have too much control over sports television if it owned both ESPN and the regional broadcasters. Disney had to sell the networks within 90 days of the Fox deal’s completion in mid-March.

So I wasn't sure if there was anything else that they had agreed to sell. At least they got a little bit of money back.

Just the sports stuff. The other things that would’ve caused the same issue were not sold by Fox (News and the Fox network).

That Egypt one did look cool. I don't think I would normally consider an ABD, especially for Europe. I feel very comfortable there and don't see a need for a tour. However, there are some places that are little more foreign or don't seem as safe, like China or Egypt, that would be great for an ABD trip. I am bummed that I don't really think Egypt is that safe anymore. I wouldn't have hesitated when I was younger, if I had the money then. I remember when I had started working at Motorola out of college. They used to send a lot of people to the site in Israel. It didn't seem that safe then, but it was down right safe compared to today

I feel pretty similar - though i think would be more interested in a group for Eastern Europe - feel ok for Western

also would like to do the Backstage Magic tour at Disneyland to see Imagineering, etc.

I like the idea of a special themed meet for the party and using that space for it .... plus, as we all know, Minnie has always been a fashion icon
