News Round Up 2019

This may have already been discussed but thought I'd pass along that when I booked a Candlelight Processional package today for 12/5, part of the terms and conditions that they ran through included that the monorail may be operating on a modified schedule and to be sure to plan travel time accordingly. Perhaps associated with planned repairs?

I'm fairly certain that clause has been in reservations for the last 2 years or so? I remember seeing it at least once before.

ETA: I get the impression that it's their catch-all phrasing to absolve themselves if people complain that they are late or miss a reservation because of the monorail.

Not saying it isn't doable but I find it incredibly hard to believe that the new Japan restaurant will be open in three days. Last photos I saw a while ago looked like the exterior had a ways to go for completion.

For something that Disney has kinda promoted decently, it's pretty low-key of them to not announce a date (although I guess they've done that before, right?).

I recall seeing some blocks in a hole. If only the Space restaurant could be so fast.

She is a rapper and was in Crazy Rich Asians. No idea who the other is.

She is a rapper and was in Crazy Rush Asians. No idea who the other is.

He played the Brie Larson's child in Room. That's where I know him from and probably his largest role. He is very much a child actor still.

He also starred in the screen adaptation of Wonder.

She was also in Ocean's 8 if you're into those movies.

In terms of screen time though both are relatively new to the game if you will in terms of how many things they've been in.

It's too bad you won't be able to meet them all in one go for at least a little while. However, I'm very happy to hear that they are reopening the UK Pooh meet and greet! I loved the Christopher Robin's room location.

My kids watched Big Hero 6 over the weekend and were talking about how they'll get to meet Baymax in September! I hope they find a place for him.

Sounds like they are going to remove even more of the imagination play area. I'm guessing this will also cause a net wait time increase since you will no longer be waiting for 3 at once.

This is such a shame! My family has rope dropped Joy & Sadness with a quick stop at Baymax after for several years now! We love the Inside Out meet. I hope Joy and Sadness are maintained and have a similarly awesome backdrop.

It’s also a shame that Mickey and Co are moving. I loved having the spot to meet them all at once in their standard outfits. It will be nice if they get some more unique outfits again (maybe retro rainbow outfits in the Imagination pavilion?) but I will miss the 4-for-1 meet...

Excited to read that they're reopening Winnie the Pooh character meets, I'm hoping this means I won't have to go to Crystal Palace just to see Eeyore
