I wish they had gone down a bit! We would love to pick up some extra points at AKV but can't/won't with the current prices

Not sure if it was already mentioned here, but there are rumors that Disney might reconsider the Star Wars land expansion in Disneyland Paris. Marvel is almost done (ready next year) they have started the Frozen part, but they are tight lipped about Star Wars. In all publications about the expansion they only mention Marvel & Frozen and not Star Wars anymore. It is not as popular in the US as they had hoped, so it might be under consideration for Paris.

I personally wouldn't really mind, I don't care for Star Wars anyway, but I would like something original for Paris. (Like a French movie themed land: Beauty and the Beast, Ratatouille, Aristocats, Hunchback

)

We are getting pounded. Winter Park is getting hailstones. I'm surprised the water parks aren't closed.

Yeah, they have recently (in one of the construction update videos I think) confirmed that they are still adding 3 new lands to the studios (Marvel, Frozen +1 more) but no confirmation that it is Star Wars. A rumour at one point was Lion King land due to the popularity of the Lion King & Jungle Book festival in 2019. I think there is another official panel at the end of the month, so hopefully more details will be coming out then
