News Round Up 2019

[rteetz]

An update on Super Nintendo Land would be nice.

Which has been recently rumored to be part of the third gate rather than an already existing park.

Well I guess i missed that, lol not surprising though, I know Star Wars isnt as big In Asia but i still expect one of the three parks to try and get it purely for the ride factor if not the themeing

It is runoured to be a smaller version of Galaxy's Edge, with just the Millennium Falcon attraction I believe, with today's news making that rumour a bit more believable.

A question was asked during the meeting and Bob said Tomorrowland is being looked at but nothing to announce as of yet.

Still very curious about the definition of “entire” vault. I really want Wonderful World of Color and all of the shorts. I also just don’t see Song of the South going up. And will they still rotate them?

I feel like they should release 2020 resort packages/pricing earlier than normal due to the news today.

They won't, but it would be nice!

Who knows, with how early the released Discounts this year for Dinning, maybe Disney is trying to give people even more time to plan, with SWGE we already know were are going to see more packages being booked. They might release there rack rate increase and packing earlier then we expect this year for next year

My understanding is they open 499 days in advance so it's a rolling window with 1 new day opening each day. I believe you need to call to get those dates though. So far online it's just until Dec 31, 2019.

Yeah, I'm already booked for May 2020, but at this year's highest rack rate. We won't know the actual price until they release packages in June/July.

My guess is no fastpasses because fast passes in their current form are free and they plan to sell expedited access to these attractions.

Oh that would stink!!!!

To be even worse without FP, I’d hate to be the CM managing the rope drop crowd!!

Edited: sorry- just read ropedrop was already mentioned

Combined with the heat and humidity. No thanks! Definitely exciting news.

Here's some news...MDE has not crashed today !

Just to add to this..I would have to say as someone playing around with MDE today across 3 browsers...IT has really done a good job. Normally it would impossible to get anything done on a day like today..I've been making multiple changes and MDE has never been this easy

Holy Cow - I have been unable to get to this thread for a few days and you guys go get the news of the year! (Well, until D23.)

I personally like these dates. We will be in DLR for D23 late-August, which means 2.5 months of SW:GE being open, which hopefully means MOST of the crowds will have died down and it's also should be after SoCal schools are back in session. We are planning Feb 2020 for WDW, which gives it nearly 6 months for that, which again means hopefully the crazy crowds have receded and certainly by then both rides are open even if they are not at DLR. I have never been one of the "I must be the first one to see it!" so I'm good. My worst fear was a delay to late summer at DLR and December at WDW.

(To those saying "maybe the crowds won't be bad at the other parks" - I think that's a pretty sizable "maybe". The draw of SW:GE will be partially from locals, which won't affect other parks, but will also be general die hard fans / vacationers / week-long stays. If there is truly a surge in the second category, the result is that though DHS entries could be massive, the overall attendance will also likely spike in those first few weeks after people spend an entire day waiting for one ride. I think there's a good chance that long term (after 1-2 months) the affect is more a "DHS only" surge, but the first month or so could see a rise across the entire resort.)

Another big questions is, since these dates were announced today, what is Universal going to announce to counter this? Their third gate? You have to think something is coming, and fairly soon.

Not likely. You won't hear boo out of Universal until at most a year from opening. The 3rd gate is more than a year from opening.
