News Round Up 2019

I'm sure more information is available somewhere around here, but when they say "Varsity Spirit after-hours events", does that mean only certain people are eligible to purchase admission? These events are separate from Disney After Hours?

My guess is that this offering is for those that are there for the cheer competitions.

I’m surprised food and wine dates haven’t been released. Considering the Halloween party dates are out and tickets available yet....

I am not a fan of the street party but I actually really like the song.

Feels like it would be a better song for at a dance party or at a show (and maybe it works better for the parts of the parade when they are more stationary vs the "parade" part) - but just looks silly when the song is like "Everybody get your Ears on!" and it just the performers doing things and everyone else is just watching

 

[AMusicLifeForMe]

have you seen the clip from the show?

I have, but I am waiting for the first video of the full show, as well as, seeing it in person.

It would be included in the cheer competition package (hotel, tickets, special event). I do appreciate the warning though because the cheer teams will be descending on MK in droves those days (easier for them to be there for the after-hours if they are already there during the day). I would highly recommend avoiding MK in the afternoon/evening then!

Yes I believe this is only for cheer competition people.

yeah, i am sure seeing it in person with the energy that comes with being in a crowd will give it a different feel that just seeing a video

I have watched a few "outside of the park" rehearsals of the new Disneyland show. It looks like they aren't cutting back on the pyro which is nice. That is one thing I was worried about since they said they would only have fireworks on select evenings (most likely weekends and holidays).

I have also been against the new dance party at the Magic Kingdom since it was announced. I know people like it, but for me, it is always an inconvenience. Whenever I want to go through the hub, the previous dance party was always in there. Whenever I wanted to go down Main Street in the afternoon, the street party would be going up Main Street. It was one of those things I just could never escape.

I don't know if its been posted here but pyro will only be Friday-Monday (weather cooperating). Tuesday-Thursday no pyro.

I’m assuming only mondays when it’s a holiday Monday. And then will go daily for peak spring break.

I don't recall seeing that officially - just that weekends were speculated, so good that it is still 4 nights a week

I have not seen anything official. That would be nice if it was 4 days a week, but I agree with @dina444444. Disneyland during "off-season" would normally do fireworks only Friday-Sunday (weather permitting) with an occasional Monday when there was a holiday. Also, fireworks have usually gone off everyday of Spring Break.

Between Guardians, Tron, Potter and this, there's a lot of new themed roller coasters coming. Not including whatever sea world does also.

My husband will def. like all these new roller coasters! Me I'll have to see what kind of stuff it does (drops, spinning, etc) to see if I'll want to go on it.

Laughing Place had it on a flyer from Disney.

I am not a fan of the street party but I actually really like the song.

The old party seemed to have a lot more energy. The song is very catchy and has already been added to my Disney playlist lol

I’m looking forward to the new coasters at IOA. The rumor is SeaWorld is adding a launch roller coaster in 2020, plus I think Tigris will open this year at Busch Gardens. I probably rode Mako, Manta, and Kraken a combined 100 times or more in 2018. Great times!

 

[Sweettears]

I need to get out there too.

I’ve been out there 4 or 5 times now. Hard core WDW for me but it’s a great park with a different vibe. It’s great to have an expansion of the Disney experience in the US. I would highly recommend going. It’s a significantly different experience that keeps me going back.
