IMO the music in the app is lacking in selection. It would be a whole lot better if it included the background music for each land. I could listen to the Epcot entrance and future world music all day.

Sorcerer Radio is what you need.

But don’t forget the merchandising. That is a huge part too. I know my family saw Capt Marvel in the theater, but no one raced out to buy action figures etc. We have not yet seen Dumbo, but have already bought multiple items. I think Dumbo has greater merchandising potential, and that my be part of Disney’s strategy as well.

Could be.

I do have to say that merchandise for flop films doesn't usually sell well. Dumbo could possibly be an exception.

I can see Disney is hoping to not only split the crowd on Aug 29th but also maximizing events for those planning a special trip just for SWGE.

Well played Disney, well played!

Might be the lowest crowd opening day of Food and Wine Fest ever ... and I am sure the blogging sites (including the DIS) is going to have to figure out how to split their resources

Here is an idea, let Kevin be at SWGE. That frees the rest of the team for the more critical Food and Wine coverage.

Kevin: "So now, this one, how do you pronounce it?"

CM: "Um, Jed-eye"

Kevin: "Ah, thank you"

Charles: "So this item from the Italy booth tastes just like all the others ... like bitterness and sadness"

Hey if they want to pay me to be there I'd gladly take one for the team! I've been looking for a reason to justify to my work why I would need to be off again after being off for 8 days at the beginning of the month!!!

I was about to say that this is a late start for Festival of Holidays. Then I looked when Thanksgiving was and that is the 28th compared to last year when it was on the 22nd. So, basically a week shorter for Festival of the Holidays this year.

They did say in the announcement for the Food and Wine that the concert series are ending a week before the end of the rest of the festival to start prepping for Candlelight Procession, so maybe that is starting earlier than the rest of the Festival of the Holidays

Just checking - no Food and Wine thread started yet, right?

didn't seem one - usually one in the Restaurants board but only see the one from 2018 where someone commented they had the dates wrong before realizing it was still the 2018 thread, not the 2019 one. Don't see one for 2019 yet
