News Round Up 2019

[rteetz]

I was trying to justify the $12,000 tour and if you're a foodie, you can find some value to that $2k price point per person if they TRULY mean all restaurants at WDW. If so, I'm doing Cali Grill brunch as soon as they open and then the Chef's Table at Vic & Al's with wine pairing for dinner. Maybe CRT for lunch - not for the food, but just for the value and the experience. That gets you to roughly $600 in food/booze value.

So you’re taking me on this tour with you right?

Out of pure curiosity, I wonder if you can add additional people and how much it would cost. In a fantasy world where our family did this, it would ONLY be our family since we are 6 people. What if we wanted to bring a grandparent or two?

If it’s like the other VIP tour then you’ll be charged for a second tour if you need room for anybody else.

I'm liking the progress at DHS!

Probably the biggest question I have and am guessing DHS will be first to provide the answer is, 'Where will security be?' Still unsure if security will be before boarding the gondolas, similar to how it's now done at the TTC or, will it be at each park. Personally I'd like to see security at each boarding location, so that when we arrive at DHS or Epcot we can go directly to the park but understand it may not be that way. Has anyone heard anything definitive?

Nothing definitive but it’s looking more likely that the Skyliner will not be inside the security bubble. Obviously that can still change.

So Imagined Worlds come to life at DHS, and Fantastic Worlds come to life at US.

Im really interested to see how indepth the themeing goes at Universal with Fantasic Worlds, If it goes into HP /Disney level themeing I can see it being a big draw, but if they cut it back to only being the new HP being hyper themed and the rest of the "Worlds" with Universals standard themeing to save money, I would be a bit disappointed. In Saying that I am totally expecting Universal to do just that, Super Indepth themeing for whatever Harry Potter element they put in the third gate and then less indepth for the rest of the park. It will save time and construction cost, time being a bigger factor I am sure.

I think they will also have pretty high levels of theming for the Nintendo stuff, that seems to be a property they are really pushing and expecting be huge for them ... but other areas of the park I could definitely see less so

What they need to avoid IMO is double security -- like when you take the monorail from a monorail resort to Epcot -- you go through twice. They are generally fairly efficient, but it's still ridiculous.

My only interest here is in Universal providing ongoing competition for Disney -- capitalism!
