Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party tickets now on sale

How special are these special events when they happen more often than not (4 out of 7 nights)?

Though .. maybe it is a blessing for those with small kids that wont stay late anyway --- based on my experience from last year: Going to MK on a party day is pretty nice -- just dont try and go on the Jingle Cruise at 4-5 PM .. thats when all the party goers show up with fast passes to see the special overlay. That line (we were in standby) ballooned in minutes and we waited over an hour for a posted wait time of 30 minutes.

The stone was there in March -- the SWORD was not.

I saw a live stream yesterday and the sword was there and uncovered with people waiting to get photos with it.

Interesting... we watched the show (with the sword) in Feb... so they took it away again after that? Confusing (but, it's Disney, so...).

Many times there is a little bit of truth and a bit more out of context on rumors. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find the fountain is the focal point of the beer garden. It makes plenty of sense for them to coexist together, if the traffic pattern works. Can you imagine a beer garden, with a small stage and the fountains as a backdrop?

Ugh...

No One Man’s Dream video for even longer!!!

Why doesn’t Disney use the Path of the Jedi theater at DHS? They rarely even run that movie anyways.

If the Epcot rumors are true they should really just change the branding to the world's largest bar with the world's highest cover.

I personally hate beer gardens in what are supposed to be family friendly areas, and it doesn't even make sense at Epcot since you can already walk around with drinks. Plus I really like the fountain.

ITA.

Any chance that this is what KtP alluded to?

I was assuming that was FP related. Something seems to be brewing there.

I don’t think Kenny would make a big deal about Sofia... unless he was being sarcastic.

What is this tweet everyone is talking about??

I’m just trying to be positive and hope it’s something else.
But if it is FP, he’s way behind in the rumor mill.

Here’s the thread discussing it

What do you mean by current beer garden?

That was my question too. I'm not a beer drinker but couldn't place where there is currently a beer garden.

Preach! I miss One Man's Dream so much!

I think the term beer garden is what is getting most people nerved up. I think that suggests a certain image to folks. I'm thinking it will be something akin to the baseline tap house, but a bit bigger, with the ability to support some sort of entertainment. Light food and adult beverages, with a view of the action. The festival centers always seem to have a bar of some type, so I'm guessing this makes it so that they can be moved permanently outside of the festival center, which will be near by.

Any word on when the BatB sing-along at Epcot is supposed to start? Trying to make my plans for our November trip now that most of the event dates are out, not sure if we should plan on checking it out.

 

[etherealcaitiff]

I've got an idea, keep the fountain but fill it with beer. Everyone gets a little of what they want.

 

[sachilles]

I vote for etherealcaitiff to replace Iger.
