This strikes me as very old news....

Does any of the money go towards the Disney conservation fund?

You mean the Disney Executive Conservation Fund, right?

Edit: Just realized I was a few hours behind and @rteetz already beat me to this joke.

I wonder if this will open before the Gondolas. It seems to be in warp drive compared to snail's pace of the gondolas.

Doubtful.

I've never in my life planned an entire vacation around one piece of drinkware but that's the world I am living in now, I guess.

That's actually quite a lot when you think about it..and it didn't take long lol

It just doesn't seem like a lot because it's a few bucks in the end still (for now).

Blame the increased trade tariffs that's being imposed on Chinese goods, which includes the reusable bags, even though Disney already have a decent profit margin on them. When Disney do eventually start to force people to buy these in the Parks, the amount of criticism they've already got over the bag situation in the Disney Stores will end up being amplified tenfold, and merchandise sales will nosedive. It's already bad enough people are growing restless over the ticket and AP price increases.

That’s two Pixar original films next year!

So the only other 2 times that happened, one was great (Inside Out and Coco) and one was a dud (Cars 3 and Good Dinosaur). I wonder if they can break that trend, and if not which one will be the dud. Having a Pixar movie titled "Soul" makes it seem like from title alone that it can't be bad.

So anyone book for 2020 today? Luckily we booked room only a few months ago - my price today would have a $384 increase for same dates!

Reading Epcot Resorts and Gondola resorts seemed to have had biggest increases, but it's hard to tell if it's only certain months or across the board.

We booked today - for end of January at Pop. Didn't look at pricing before today so I'm not sure how much more I'm paying. Blissfully unaware, I guess.

Walt Disney and Fox Studios See Third Round of Layoffs

Can't increased AP rates and reusable bag prices save some jobs? (I joke and know this isn't the parks/experiences/products division, but still sad to see more happening)

Work Begins Inside the Odyssey Pavilion at Epcot to Make Way for New "Experience Center"

I saw a rumor elsewhere that the color tunnel from the old Imagination pavilion is moving to the experience center. Although I would have thought it'd go to the play center...seems to fit better there. However, either way, I would be really excited to see it come out of retirement. I have many fond memories of that tunnel.

The link says these are for tent camping, but the image shows they are RV sites.
