I don't know why - but the single latex black and orange balloons are cracking me up. Why not spring for some of the themed balloons that they sell at the party? It would look so much better.

anyone seeing any other reports of this? Would definitely impact things like stroller rentals and food delivery:

"Soon, Walt Disney World resorts will no longer allow companies to deliver and drop off goods with their bell services desks. That includes companies like stroller rentals, owner’s locker and food service companies. Here’s the details.

According to Kingdom Strollers, a trusted affiliate of this website, beginning October 1, 2019, guests who have not already reserved a stroller rental drop off will be required to meet a representative of a goods delivery service IN PERSON at the resort. This new change will affect ALL outside vendors as well."

Perfect timing. We arrive tomorrow and are having a stroller delivered. I wonder what will happen when it needs to be picked up?

This begins October 1st.

This begins October 1st.

Technically, it begins with reservations made on or after Oct. 1.

not sure if this is the global policy or just for Orlando Stroller Rental, they are saying if you made your reservation before Oct 1st you can still pick up and drop off at the resort like in the past:

So much for the discussion of thinking it should really apply only to groceries with mobility and strollers (depending on the poster) should get the pass.

On the one hand I have zero issues with it on the other hand I totally get how planning a pickup window for physical pickup when on your WDW vacation can be a big stressor.

It's nice though that in MaxRebo's subsequent post that at least one stroller company has pickup at the airport though for some people the point was to not have to lug it around. Either way at least it's an option added.

I mentioned this change to my wife and her response was: "well, I bet someone now creates a new job to wait for strollers for people"

I wouldn’t mind making a bit of money at the end of my Disney day. Would pay for the 1/5 tank of gas to get there and back and maybe a drink at Oga’s.

I've just started watching the Force Friday video. I miss seeing Warwick at SWW and Celebration of HP! Anyways, these screenshots are from the video- thought some who aren't interested in the video may like this.

I really home they release the music to this on MP3 or something

 

[RolloTomasi]

I have a question about Impressions de France. Is the movie going away and now it'll be the sing-a-long? Or is the sing-a-long something else entirely? Or a weird combination of both? I'll admit, if the movie is gone I'll miss it. I always enjoy it.
