News Round Up 2019

eh, minor detail

so guess it is that you are just assigned a time, vs log in and pick from available times?

Also will be interesting to see if people with longer stays try to break their stay up into multiple stays so they get more than one access time

Yep you are just assigned a time.

When it comes to RoL, my biggest gripe with it was that there didn’t seem to be a driving storyline throughout. If this rectifies that, then great, but I also don’t need to be spoon fed Disney IPs around every nook and crany

 

[SaintsManiac]

I love IP. Give me all of the IP all the time!

Lots of issues with the reservations for SWGE at Disneyland. Not sure I have seen anyone who has a successful reservation as of right now.

No Night Time Parade for WDW's 50th:

https://wdwnt.com/2019/04/breaking-...-a-new-nighttime-parade-for-50th-anniversary/

This is pure clickbait, unless Disney announced a parade coming for the 50th. If Disney hasn't announced a nighttime parade, the story was written to make Tom more money

I get you don't like Tom and you don't have to but let's not get into this being clickbait and their site making more money because of this.

I wouldn't say purely click bait. There were some pretty active rumors that there would be a nighttime parade for the anniversary. So this shoots down those rumors, which is disappointing. I was really hoping for a new one.

I think people also probably thought "surely they'll bring a parade back for the 50th, right!?" especially with all these things being done to prepare for the 50th.

Ugh disappointing for sure.

Hopefully at least a new daytime parade. Does sound like new fireworks is still in the mix.

I enjoy night time parades but that area in MK is already so crowded for the fireworks just isn't needed there - untill they did it later or with more of a break or something or alternated nights or something

BREAKING: Walt Disney World Will Not Present a New Nighttime Parade for 50th Anniversary

So .. I would gather that they may NEVER have a nighttime parade at MK ever again. I mean they can probably list a ton of reasons to not have it:
1) It is already crowded enough at night with just the castle shows
2) "Safety" concerns of people trying to exit the park .. in the dark while a parade is going on
3) "More green" (no "evil" electric lights)

I wonder if they will just eventually get rid of the daytime parade too (since we've seen the others fade away from the other parks). I mean .. while we all enjoy it .. does the park NEED it from a crowd control/capacity standpoint?

Im all for them doing a early nightime Parade, in the Summer months and then a late night parade at the end of EMH if they do keep it going, like it used to be and have a hour between first parade and fireworks. In saying that I wouldn't be surprised if Disney restricts night parades for Paid Parties and paid after hour events. Disneys way of using a parade as part of the perks of buying a hard ticketed event.

I'm not a parade person (though I like nighttime parades) it is something everyone can enjoy, meaning it's not an attraction with a height restriction or something that a person with limited mobility could have issues with.

Crowd-wise unfortunately it's really just the path that presents the problem since it cuts off pathways temporarily. Would be a shame for everyone though IMO if parades were removed entirely.

I think parades are also great as crowd-sucks as it can draw a lot of people freeing up queue space in other attractions ... but just hard to make the timing work and if everyone is already lined up for HAE, what is the benefit of an extra reason to draw those people there?

I heard one podcaster say he had booked two rooms - which at least he’s paying for the access twice (as opposed to breaking up one long stay).

Curious to know what issues you see reported? Just that people don't have an assigned time yet? I mean, it's not like they NEED to know now. Perhaps it's a slow roll-out of reserved times?

I've seen a few reports of people being assigned times for days before they check into the resort and it showing an incorrect check-in date
