, stock price went up considerably.

No it didn't. Opened 2018 at about $110 and closed at $112. Thats less than a 2% increase.

Disney’s Fiscal Year starts on october 1st so of you do year over year on that day it went from $98.5 to $116 - so about a 17% increase

But i’d Have to check the prospectus to see what metrics they use for determining his pay - probably more than just stock price

As a music teacher I would VERY technically call this rap but it definitely feels more “Pop.” I’m not in love with the song but I like it a lot more than Happily Ever After.

Although I only heard a tiny snippet of the song, I'd actually refer to that section as patter, not rap. Although, I'm not sure I could accurately contrast the differences between patter and rap. But, patter came first and doesn't have the social implications associated with rap.

Famous Examples of Patter Songs (sorry, just the mention of the titles might get a song stuck in your head):

• "Major-General" from Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance
• "Ya Got Trouble" from Meredith Wilson's The Music Man
• "Getting Married Today" from Stephen Sondheim's Company
• "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by REM
• "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel
• "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies

I was thinking about this and what the definition of “rap” and other forms of more “spoken word” ... even like what Dick Van Dyke did in Mary Poppins I think was Patter as well

I would see this more like Pop Patter than what is stereotypically thought of as Rap

Not that everyone has to like it no matter what it is called

I can't wait for Ratatouille. They're definitely going to have to open all of world showcase earlier for it.

Well, if you think of where the main/new rides are they are on either side as you enter WS but not on the back part so they could open up both sides with FW opening and still not have the very back open (so they can do their daily cleanings there last)

Isn't the French Bakery open there early now?

Yummy chocolate filled Eclairs there !

Isn't the French Bakery open there early now?

Yep, but they have to open the rest of WS or else it would be a long walk to the next thing. If WS is all open at least you would be able to go in a shop or possibly take in a show or movie.

Yes, the bakery opens at 9 am. So really not huge to have Rat open too.

Not sure if it's a plus side to being on furlough, but I have a legitimate reason not to go online and try to buy all that super cute Winnie the Pooh merchandise.
