Jacob Tremblay, Awkwafina Reportedly Join Cast of Disney’s Live-Action “The Little Mermaid”

wish that article included more about who they are - I have no idea who either of them are

You may not know Awkwafina, but I'm sure you know her rival, Dasani . Sorry had to do it.

If we lose the fiberoptic lit pathstones thru innoventions I am going to be so pissed. Like, crying upset. And I'm a 47 year old man

I feel like my trip is becoming extra sentimental. I'm getting time in HS and Epcot before they are forever changed.

I am really sad about the Fountain of Nations closing ... but surprised at the level of outrage and sadness I am seeing about this on social media

I mean, wasn't like Innoventions is constantly packed - and the rest of the stuff is going to move to new locations.

I get it, change can be upsetting but I suspec tthe majority of the people that are upset will love the new space when all the work is done

I’m so glad our last trip ends on 9/3. We’re planning on waiting another 3-4 years before we head back. Epcot is going to be a mess

Yeah I am not sure how much we will be there in November. I'm considering skipping it then.

Me too. I probably will do a bit of food and wine in World Showcase and the wine and dine party but otherwise my focus will be elsewhere.

Ok so this may seem like a silly question and it's quite possible there is no answer at this point but the little lights in the ground near Innoventions....THOSE ARE SAFE RIGHT?! It is one of my earliest Disney memories and one of my still favorite spots.

EDIT:: already been posted sorry!

I am sad about the Fountain of Nations. I loved what it stood for so this coming trip I will be sure to get lots of pictures.

So I guess the removal of the fountain was true. Next up beer garden, yay! I really hope they have some real plans for all this space that doesn't just include more drunks.

 

[MissGina5]

EDIT:: Found out Mouse Gears is just being moved not closed. PHEW

I was down about HS merchandise locations being changed up for awhile, and I still hope they find a way to make it unique, but I hope they make it easy to navigate as it changes over.

I'm not!

I wish I had known about Epcot in 2017, I would have said goodbye! That trip was our worst trip and it's still having repercussions!

Everything will be gone in May and Spaceship Earth Most likely closed.

 

[OSUZorba]

So for the week SW:GE opens you can still get resorts and the values at least are cheaper than you could get them months ago. Considering how I couldn't get a single room for months before my January trip this year, I'm taking this as a sign that crowds won't be ridiculous.

Craftsman Bar Set to Open Soon at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel

At least the glories of Club Cool will live on in some form.

 

[eliseisawkward]

makes sense to combined lunch and dinner - but I assume that does mean the one plant based option is gone as they won't need both

Also noticed no alcoholic beverages listed, I know that was one thing we were wondering about at DHS if more places would have alcohol

As a person with a plant based diet, I really hate the whole “well here’s your one option...” thing, so I seriously hope it’s a typeo.
