Wonder why? Just maintenance is too hard/too expensive? Did it attract crowds so want to minimize that?

Yeah I am not quite sure on that.

Yeah I am not quite sure on that.

Pretty much every where fountains and self filling/self serving have gone away. Even where I work you can't fill coffee in your own mug - you have to get in only in their cups.

No the fountains aren't turned off or anything this is about the animatronic Dianoga that would every so often pop out of the water in the themed cannister.

I wasn't sure what the Dianoga feature was either. Found this:

Who knows it could be because of the way the lines wrap around the area, right now. It looks like they only capped it, it might not be to hard to undo later if they want to

I have been so excited for this show!!

Going one step further- maybe they didn't make as much as they expected on Mulan (which already has a following from the original movie). So rather than having a similar outcome where the entire merchandising machine would fail without that base already established, they are offering it for "free."

I bet that's it. Maybe we, as super fans, don't think like others. Mulan being a remake is mostly what turned me off. The China stuff did the rest. However, I did love the Jungle Book and Pete's Dragon (although that was really a completely different movie). I don't think they fully understand some of their audience. A large portion of D+ subscribers are super fans, so I think many people would have paid up to $20 for premiere access to Soul.

We will probably watch it later. Hubby used to be an Aerospace Engineering major, so he's a big space nut, in addition to a regular nut. I loved the Apollo documentary last year; it was so beautiful.

Either that or they need to add that as like an alternative watching experience .... watch Farro as you watch the show

So far I've been dancing in the living room singing The Right Stuff by New Kids On the Block while waiting for Micky... (and no cocktails yet)

Anyone seeing anything about this? They are taking out the clown slide at the Boardwalk resort pool?

We’re hoping they’ll replace it with a beautiful new clown!

The announcement was that the slide is being refurbished, but of course no details were given.

Watched episode one! Really enjoyed it.

Just finished. We really, really liked it.
I can definitely see the Mad Men comparisons (which is one of my favorite series of all time). Much more adult than people would expect for Disney +. It really takes you to the time and place, the acting is fantastic and so is the music.

Episode 2 is out too, but we are waiting, I like to space them out.

A question for you resident nut. Has any show, doc, movie been better than "From the earth to the moon" on HBO many years ago? Me, I don't think any compare.
