News Round Up 2019

[CastAStone]

Several random people on Twitter claiming that MK is “closed” or “at capacity”, but I can’t seem to verify via the app or a news site; here’s a claim from a Twitter verified account who is there:

Yes I am. Goofy #15, Dopey #7. It is a lot of miles and early mornings but so worth it to have an excuse to get back to Disney World every year.

Well good luck to you as well!

Phase B already!

Phase B already!

Not really uncommon. We could see it go back to fully open too. Many times the park will hit a phase and then go back open not too long after.

I am just thinking of how packed it was Monday before Thanksgiving without phased closure. I am really glad I am not there.

Same exact situation here!

Same here!

HarmonioUS to debut in Spring 2020

https://blogmickey.com/2019/12/harmonious-nighttime-spectacular-to-debut-spring-2020-at-epcot

Wow - that is a really short window for Epcot Forever. I realize it was a temporary show and really just so-so, but hard to believe they even felt they needed a show to cover 6 months.

Yeah I was under the impression that it would be around for a year. I guess in August we will get to see the new show, which I hadn't expected.

Did not get to use the boards as much this year, but thank you @rteetz and everyone who posts on here. You are the best distraction and source for Disney

I can’t imagine Epcot without a show though.

Epcot forever in person, well, was just like the live stream. Wouldn’t stand around to see it again. Hoping HarmonioUS is an improvement.

I love so many of the songs from the classic attar ruins that I am really glad we will get to see EPCOT Forever during our upcoming February trip .... But also sort of feel like once will be sufficient

Looking at pictures of the crowds and wait times, I don't think I'll ever hit the parks on new years eve.
Unless you could guarantee me 20ft crowd free bubble surrounding a bar stool in one of my favorite disney watering holes. I imagine the people watching is quite spectacular today.

wasn't bad at all last night as the wee hours approached. even got to walk-on to Big thunder after the midnite fireworks. But we'll see what tonight holds. I've got 3 fastpasses in MK and them plus the shows (tiki/bears/philhar/carousel) and then fireworks and that's all I intend to do. The crowds aren't super bad as long as you stick to the periphery of the park.
