Considering that is DLR and WDW combined, that is pretty surprising. It'd be interesting to know the split.

I was talking to a lady this weekend (actually a Doctor giving stitches to my daughter) who said they went to DL the week Star Wars opened and they were expecting mass choas, but instead it was so empty they got to ride through on the Matterhorn multiple times.

I was there 4th of July weekend and it wasn’t bad at all. The Falcon was the only thing we had to wait for, although the earthquakes probably scared some people away then.

Didn’t Notice this one mentioned, but the Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ bundle is official. It’ll be $12.99 a month.

Looks like it'll be the Hulu with ads though.

Yeah, that doesn’t help me since Hulu with ads is “free” to me as a Sprint customer.

I expected that. Hulu-no ads by itself is already $11.99 per month.

Do they serve Edy's like everyone else or is "homemade?"

Definitely not Edy's. Started out as a store in Brooklyn, NY. Known for speciality ice cream with lots of flavors with unique names.

Yeah Ample Hills is not Edys and it’s really good.

Well, time to cut half the CMs, all the unique entertainment to each park and slash the budgets for Marvel land and all the upcoming 50th celebrations for WDW.

And for heaven's sake get the dessert party for Muppets 3D access set up.

I really hope Disney still incorporates the 180-degree perimeter fireworks. Just a little worried that I didn't see them in this video, but maybe they just weren't testing that aspect of the show...One can hope.

 

[NoTime42]

I may be in the minority, but I only thought Ample Hills was nice. Nothing at Ample Hills wowed me like a Ghirardelli hot fudge sundae, So why does Disney Springs need another speciality ice cream shop?

This seems pretty good. Not as good as the $1/month deal I have for Hulu right now, but for the bundle, and we'd actually use all 3 things, I think it's a fair price (for now...)

I wonder what the price will be for the no commercial bundle and if it will have an annual vs monthly cost
