News Round Up 2019

Someone’s hiding in the top right corner of the UK poster...

Though also has the White Rabbit from Alice in the lower left, so might be more a refences to the characters you can currently meet there vs a new ride .... Obviously I hope more for the later

Maybe a different more respectable Twitter user could be followed and shared on this thread instead.

My intent wasn’t to show the first tweet in that twitter thread but that’s how it linked. She is a respectable twitter user. She writes for travel and leisure and has been on the disunplugged podcast and several others.

I would agree. I’d hardly call somebody who uses that language on a public tweet respectable... maybe she WAS a respectable twitter user, but no longer in my book.

Curious why they'd have a poster with Maelstrom?

It looks to me like Disney was just aiming at retrospective history of EPCOT with the posters and sprinkling in the new stuff to show how it's good fit with the overall history. ie. there's also Horizons, World of Motion, Kitchen Kabaret etc ...

That’s weird about the phone. Do you have an iPhone or something else? I know it should work fine on iPhone.

Nope. Mine is a Samsung Galaxy S8+. It loads maybe 25% of the time.

 

[NoTime42]

Not really sure what the fix would be for that. Maybe software update? Maybe it’s something with older iPhones? I’ve honestly never had an issue with it myself.

On my Xr I usually get the imbedded tweets (and I like that feature on other boards), but sometimes I just see the link. And sometimes an “ad” takes over the whole screen attempting to scam me into some evil antivirus scheme.

Guess this one slipped out early. DonaldDoleWhip at WDWMAGIC posted this over there.

Wow.

I’m really surprised this is really happening. Obviously need to wait until Disney confirms but pretty exciting for EPCOT if true. Hoping they get a ride in there...

A well known journalist and someone who as worked with The Dis before is respectable regardless if you agree with her style of writing.

I suggest turning off WiFi, it can slow down things like loading embedded materials.

Yay for Brazil, that at least explains the one revealing sunday poster. I wonder what the second poster will be for

what I have been wondering too - will it be a 2nd country or a new pavilion/attraction ... or something else? (saw some rumors of adding a day time show over the lagoon, so something like that?)

 

[Brocktoon]

I figure it's almost a slam-dunk that they'd have a Brazilian churrascaria style steakhouse ... don't even want to think what the $$$ would run for a meal though?

 

[TheMaxRebo]

so haven't seen much chatter on this one image but a) what is with the unitards? and b) looks like an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Tea Party thing in the background

Its fairly certain at this point.

Well the word "respectable" has a couple of different definitions, and crass language or behavior can disqualify you from one of them even if you are still upstanding in a professional capacity. Anyway, that particular tweet seems out of line for a family-friendly Disney update thread.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Its fairly certain at this point.

fairly certain the pavilion comes or fairly certain there is a ride in it? Last I saw was there would not be a ride, but would be great if there is one

I am pretty prudish when it comes to language, so I tend to agree - though Rteetz already responded that he was trying to post the responding tweet (that didn't have any crude language) but this was how it came in. But yeah, ideally would avoid linking to things like that (though I know many people have no issue with it)

Who needs a ride as long as they have grilled meats and caipirinhas?

 

[bryana]

yway, that particular tweet seems out of line for a family-friendly Disney update thread.

And Rteetz already said he didn’t intend to link that tweet, only the one below it. It’s the way the website uploaded it...

Pavilion. I don't expect a major attraction inside.

 

[SaharanTea]

Its improved more recently. Added a few things over the last year or two.

I must admit I didn't notice any changes.

Tell them to keep going. Like The Pho said, it could be really good with a kick in the details department.
