News Round Up 2020

22 year old lady gets urinated on by 46 year old man in line waiting for flight of passage. . Man was kicked out of wdw for the rest of day. He didn’t mean to pee on her he just had to go and some got on her. Disney gave her a change of clothes.

So are we saying he was peeing on the wall or something and she caught some uh, splash?

They put bathrooms in the queue. I think choosing to pee in the queue would be grounds for kicking out for more than a day (like... Forever). Unless he had some kind medical emergency and wasn't actually urinating there on purpose I suppose...?

Officially*

*excluding the other higher grossing animated film from last year.

Or as Dreamworks is telling it, Abominable was the number 1 animated movie of 2019*

*excluding remakes, sequels and other non-original content

Edit: PS this claim is actually on the Abominable Wikipedia page

Yeah they really need to start getting the word out because for people like me I won't be staying at any Skyliner resort again unless it's with a car then my Son has severe sensory and Anxiety issues and won't be caught dead near the Skyliner. At point is it even cost effective for a family. It's sad because we love AOA and he loves POP.

Maybe Uber is an option? We’ve used it several times to get to water parks when the buses are taking too long! Can’t understand why a ton of buses aren’t going there in February- LOL!

Yes, even my DD12 heard it from her room and stormed into the living room and exclaimed in shock "Missing Link???!!!"

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

To be fair, Disney had two sequels and a remake nominated. Maybe the voters decided to reward creativity and a new idea.

Can't win it all. Laika puts out some good quality films.

That is new too

Feeling that the new head of WDW is left with the task of saving the golden goose. For 2020 and beyond, how to repair the customer view about being nickle and dimed to death. About how to "hide" the petty charges like parking and resort, kill the rumor of paid FP, charges for dining reservations, etc.

The discounts being announced now tell me that booking for the summer are down... Only an impression at this point.

Seems early to offer discounts through September. Maybe they'll offer fall and winter early too!

That'd be my guess, too

Makes me think their early signals are summer crowds are softer than they would like

As a teacher who can only go in the summer, all I have to say is, "Yay!"
