I don't know. I think the 90's Nite was a hit, not sure if these themes will work. I guess Villains would be good given the success of Oogie Boogie

I was working on decision to get fuel rod or portable charger. Disney just decided for me. I was leaning that way anyway.

Yep. I thought for our next trip, I'd get one for my kids to use. Not now. I'll just be more diligent about charging everything up overnight and make them carry a charger bought from amazon at half the price.

The Night Blossom in Pandora has shrunk.

This annoys me from the perspective that they obviously made it smaller to increase the profit line. I suspect they have a full-time staff person who just sits around and figures out how to increase profits at the parks. On the other hand, my kids love this drink and there's only so much sugar they need in a given day.

I do think drinks/treats like that are better in small doses so I would rather decrease size vs increase price (but do find moves like this just a sneaky way to charge more without actually increasing prices)

Villains always sells. 80s would be fun too.

Anyone heard any rumors that the opening of Rise of the Resistance will be delayed past December 5?

There's a media event on 12/4, so I doubt it will be delayed.

A Disney+ documentary crew was following a family around Magic Kingdom yesterday

They were also filming at Conservation Station on Friday for Nat Geo! I saw the vets working on a little deer's hoof (that doesn't read correctly but there it is). Pretty cool!

There were some rumors of a delay but as already pointed out there is a media event planned. I would expect some possible issues when it opens to the public tho.

I don’t know that we’ll go that week/weekend ever again, or even in October at all. It was SO hot and at the beginning of the week, the humidity was so oppressive (and I’m from Georgia!). But, we really wanted to go with my brother and his family, and this was the best time for them. We usually take our long trips in November—after Jersey Week and before Thanksgiving week—and the weather has typically cooled off and the crowds are very low.

We were there the first week of October 4th - 12th (our school fall break) and it was not crowded. We did a lot of stand by rides between our FP+ rides and it was hot but not so hot it bothered us, We are from GA also so we can cope. We were also there in July. Now that was hot! And it rained every day so no more July trips for us lol. We will be back again Christmas week and it is really crowded but we secured all or FP+ and purchased the CL FP+ so it will be cake.

Just goes to show that we all experience things differently. I can’t imagine ever going in July, though!

Just read on a WL FBk page that the 7th floor concierge level will be starting a 51 day refurb starting in January. I am assuming the floor by floor long over-due refurb of the lodge will be happening after that. I'll be able to confirm when I go in January, although I'll be staying in the Copper Creek section which I don't think will be part of the refurb. It will be sad to see those headboards disappear as the Disney generic refurbing reaches the WL.
