And will be a significant cause of the lightening of my wallet

Mine too. Last of April trip so I hope they have it all out by then so I can get one o' each!

Mikey's Philharmagic might be going down for a refurb in May. I'm in that group of people with the early rolling fastpass window (look for the thread on TPAS if you don't know what I'm talking about), and when I went to book fastpasses for May 14, Philharmagic was unavailable along with Tomorrowland Speedway (which we already know is closed).

I'll probably be buying all of it.

Passholder exclusive flower and garden merchandise

To paraphrase When Harry Met Sally, it's so awful, there are no words to explain what's so awful about this merch. Ugh. JMO, but it all looks SO gaudy to me... "too loud", as my mother would have said.

Gotta' admire Disney's ability to make money off of cancelling or closing something!
I might bite if it said "Good Riddance Illuminations"...

Hasn't there been rumors out there of the show being updated (with an entirely new film)?

Yep, though I don't think we had much of an idea as to when it might happen.

Um, where’s the “unlike” button

 

[Firebird060]

Mikey's Philharmagic does need a bit of work, the seats just aint what they used to be and some of the effects dont work like intended because the seats need the work.

Between stuff like this, the CL FP purchase, the rumor of more FP purchases in the future... I think I'd be a tad cranky if I was a local or staying offsite and had to work with the 30-day FP window...
