News Round Up 2019

My sentiments, exactly. Have to say I enjoyed BatB much more than I thought I would though. And the rehashing of the MCU series seems to be bringing in big bucks. So, from a business perspective, they'll keep churning this stuff out until people stop going. And, I know I'm in the minority when it comes to that

What do you mean by rehashing of MCU. Yes there were movies before this major burst in the MCU but I feel they have expanded the films so much. I never really had an interest in marvel before this and now I love it.

Count me "Noseblind". But, I enjoyed Ironman, Antman and Captain America. Even the first Guardians movie was enjoyable. When they started doing different combinations of these characters, it started blurring together such that I really can't distinguish one from another. I do realize I'm not a super-fan like my oldest son. But, the last one I went to (don't remember the title, but they all turned to ashes) made me think, "good, we're done with those characters". From what he told me, I was wrong! . They'll keep cranking them out until they they go upside-down on profits.

Is that the real Lightning animatronic? It looked almost fake, like it was animated and not really in the building.

I wasn't there so don't want to swear on it, but I am 99.9% sure that is the animatronic (looks like they are doing the eyes and mouth as projections)

I agree I was always a dc fan but disney changed that.

I see what you’re saying but the comics do have some of these combinations as well. While the movies aren’t exactly like the comics there are a lot of things taken from them.

Yes it is an AA.

I like the attraction just fine, but the glasses are in sorry shape. Hard to see anything at all.

Oh, I like it too as is as far as the story goes. It’s great to enjoy the older stories. I feel like the new ones (anything after the 90’s) are taking over everything (castle show, fireworks, parade, fantasmic, OUAT...) Philhar just needs brought to 4K video quality with 100% working effects and glasses, and a few seats need repaired too.

D23 event at DHS for the 30th anniversary. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

Another D23 event I would tried to attend if there had been more than 4 weeks notice.

I think these types of events are more for locals or those going to be there anyways. Nobody really plans a trip around a 1 day celebration for the DHS 30th. It’s not like the WDW 50th or anything.

There was a My Disney Experience update for iOS which gave the app a brand new look.

New Spaceship Earth dress

Very tasteful. Doesn't scream, "DISNEY". But, anyone that knew SSE would recognize it.

Totally agree, the actual content of the video is good as is but it was really dark (as 3D movies typically are), the glasses were cloudy/worn and the theater itself needed are refresh...and that was 4 years ago!

Yeah - I think that’s the first dress that I would *actually* wear, outside of Disney.

So just showed the dress to my wife who made her own Spaceship Earth Dress and to be honest we are both impressed with the 50s Silhouette and the print which gives it a almost historical inspiration as well as Disney, since the 50s was when the Geodesic design had its real beginnings in the US. According to my wife its nice to see that Disney is peppering there dress line with classic style lines and fabrics that always dont scream Disney except to the casual well Disafied observer.

I got my wife the Trader Sam's one and she really likes how it fits, etc. ... and similar thing in that if you didn't really know it was Trader Sam's it would just look like a Tiki themed dress

I'd be price shy myself but I've also thought most of those dresses I'm not sure would even work for my body type. This dress is very very cute though!

I think in the past year I bought my wife 5 of the dresses from the dress shop, Trader Sams and Tiki being some of my wifes favorites for the Park but she also sews and makes dresses as a hobby and loves the classic style lines, both those dresses fit our join love of Traders Sams and the tiki craze that was the 50s, We even have a tiki room room in our house. Regardless though the construction quality of the dresses at least make it a bit more worth it than say other dresses my wife might like to buy.
