Some big and interesting marvel Movie news. Kevin Feige will report directly to Alan Horn instead on marvel CEO. Marvel execs have been reorganized a bit.

That is very interesting because Perlmutter was reported to have an iron grip on Marvel as a whole and had everything from Disney going through him.

He's also by all reports a rather odd bird, prone to somewhat childish behavior.

That rumor translates to:

"He didnt show unyielding, 100% deference to our marketing/merchandising goals"

Not tolerated in a certain lot
In Burbank

It's being reported that Feige threatened to quit because of budget constraints from Perlmutter but then Iger stepped in.

That sounds like the sort of rumors I've heard about Perlmutter before. Allegedly he's a staple counter.

Eh. Not a fan.

Disneystore.com got me

...you know..."hater" that I am

What did you get, BB-8

 

[soniam]

Eh. Not a fan.

I have heard, even from non-SW fans, that the SWW fireworks show knocks the socks off FSF and Wishes. I have seen it on a video, and it was pretty spectacular. Think July 4th fireworks at the Capitol.

That does sound spectacular. Too bad I won't be going back to DLR for a while. Maybe we need to go sooner rather than later

 

[skier_pete]

What? I need to see that....
I'm actually on my way to join you right now. I just keep waiting for some of the actual AC props to hit TPC or ebay.--- then my wallet will be in danger.

Go on the Shop Disney Parks app and type Adventurers Club. You can see it but it's out of stock. They told me it might come in on Sunday.

In other news: LIVE construction update of the Poly quiet pool. Still looks like a hole in the ground.

I have a car when I am there, but I leave it sit. First, I like a libation or two, or ten Second, when I make my ressie's I am paying for transportation so I like to get my money's worth. Third, I like the busses. some of the neatest experiences I have had have been on a Dis bus.

But, and I say Big But- I would never use Disney Springs as a hub for any type of transportation. If I were at OKW, I would take the bus to AK then take an AK bus to AKL. Never go through DS. The transportation there, regardless of your means (car or bus) is terrible.

The problem is if you have late reservations at any venue in AKL... You CAN'T use AKL as a hub - the park closes too early.

Yikes! I didn't see the price. That doesn't seem like very good value to me for just part of the day. Bummer. It should be more like $150.

Well that won't be a problem for too much longer.

That's impossible...frozen is a cultural phenomenon and will never decrease in popularity...people will never lose their desire to buy all things frozen.

This is a bad rumor.

Never...
Never, ever, never, ever, never, ever, ever,ever, never, ever, never, ever, no matter the weather!!!

All
Of these "Exclusive" tours and programs are priced beyond the limit of good taste. It's embarassing.

That's a big part of my gripe with them.

I for one am shocked

BB will be here soon...and a brother.

I've had some good success buying/flipping Star Wars toys over the years...and here's the deal with this guy:

Startup personally invested in by Iger, a production cap in place...unique as in the first " autonomous" robot available on the consumer market... And the potential to be completely independent upon updates.

So you have a new tech item, the Star Wars angle, and a but of disneyana already.

My advice is to grab and hold one of these guys. It's a no brainer.
