Theres even video of Harry hawking her services to Iger at the Lion King premiere. Pretty pathetic watching him trying to offer her abilities for voice over work.

I read that she signed the deal in exchange for a donation to Elephants Without Borders. I wonder if she'll be narrating a Disney Nature documentary soon.

She has had plenty of jobs and left a really good one to become a Royal. She does not need his help or title. This is not about becoming a "common" citizen. It seems to me that they want out of all the parts of beings Royals that they don't like (not sure what other than the media, but I will trade with them), and want to keep all the parts that they do like (amazing travels, salaries, and daddies money). I love the contradiction that they want to keep their home on the Queen's Windsor Castle estate as their "British base", while "aiming to become financially independent." One might say that they want their cake and to eat it too. So as not to be a drain on taxpayer money, their titles need to be removed along with their access to the other royal items they seem to enjoy that taxpayers never see/use/enjoy. They need to forgo their right to maintain Frogmore Cottage, where a 2.4 million taxpayer-funded refurbishment was carried out last year That would tell me they wanted to stop living off taxpayer money. This is a money/power play about themselves, something I would not have expected from Harry two years ago. I wish I had their problems!

If you'd like to discuss your feelings about Meghan and Harry outside of Meghan's potential work with Disney, there's a thread to do so.

To take this off topic even more... I just watched Joker. OH MY GOD. Amazing. Joaquin Phoenix deserves every award he gets. I will never look at the Joker or Batman for that matter the same again.

I do hope that this is a true refurbishment and not a "refurbishment" that becomes a permanent closure.

its only closed to 2/9. I have FP after that date.

"New Dooney & Bourke Limited Edition 2500 Park Life MagicBand"

https://www.magicbandcollectors.com...ark-life-magicband-now-out-at-disney-springs/

Sometimes we luck out and are at the parks when they release the limited edition bands. This is one my wife would love but no way I will pay twice the price on eBay! One seller has sold 13 so far at $99 plus shipping.

I know it's discussed plenty before, but still, eBay thing is so infuriating. Count me among those that wish Disney would do something about limiting purchases more. They cracked down in Disneyland on people who shopped - went and bought things specifically requested in advance, for a commission - but don't seem to care about those that will buy dozens of things just to jack up the price on eBay that day.

I also hear you on having to get lucky with these. When we were visiting 2 years ago a few days after the 20th anniversary of Animal Kingdom, I really, really wanted the brown 20th Anniversary MagicBand. I didn't have much hope, and they were sold out of them when we got there. We were told they sold out even before the actual 20th anniversary. Of course, they were immediately going for $100+ (and still are) on eBay. As much as I still want one, no way I'm paying that.

So what you’re saying is I can take my kid to the Halloween party before either of us return to school for the school year? That seems extra early. Almost too early, even by Disney standards. That said, I’m checking prices right now for August

We've been able to do that for several years now as my kids don't go back to school until after Labor Day

But we are still yet to do the party - when we have had the chance I've asked my group if they want to go and they always say "it doesn't feel remotely like Halloween season"
