Excellent! Re: PeopleMover... if it comes to it, I see a full campaign, petitions, t-shirts... we'll be on it!


Seems like a subject for ANOTHER THREAD... ...

Like talking about tshirts for people mover?

Are you busy?

 

[I<3theMouse]

We have dedicated threads for each news item announced today. It is a very exciting time to be a Disney fan!

So many new things to look forward to! Now, maybe hubby will want to go again. Until he does, I'll just go without him! lol

As cranky as ever, I see. I meant the re-hashing of OLD, OLD, OLD complaints. Not a one-off comment.

It came up...its over...

Every time it's complained about by someone who obviously has free time...it actually just extends the tangent.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread and great job @rteetz on getting all the information out there so quickly.

If anybody enjoys seeing the cosplay at the event, I ran across this post on a fashion/pop culture blog I read routinely. There are some great costumes here.

There's absolutely no way the skyway isn't air conditioned...like none. They'll have to figure it out somehow

Never say never. Can't recall for sure, but aren't the Friendship boats non-air conditioned? I know the windows open up to get some airflow, but I recall those typically being nice and toasty mid-summer...

Yep...and they're awful and they were built before there was standard AC on pontiacs

They were nice and toasty in mid December. Even if it's cool outside, if it's sunny they will heat up. I walked everywhere the rest of the trip after one ride.

I've been wondering about this as an option for the gondolas though. They have these little vent units you hang over your car window that blows outside air in and pulls hot air out. Supposedly it works even better than putting those shades over your windshield. I could see something like that being installed and keeping them bearable. But I really hope they decide to go full A/C.

Actually, they have several small AC units on the roof, but wholly inadequate. I don't know whether they even work anymore. The windows used to open, but they sealed them.

It bombed last year...don't know how they did this time...

But what gets me is this: three things identified as a STRAIGHT con game:

1. Villains soirée
2. After hours magic
3. Cabanas

...bombed...got caught in bed with poochie...

And YET we get pro disney, false laise faire defenses for them still.

Club villain is worth its extra price even Pete agreed

I think LoL is referring to the villains extra add on they tried at the Halloween party a couple years ago.

Shut up tom and Lorenzo did this post?! I Love them!!!! I'm so excited now

I'll on occasion (mistakenly) get on one and regret it from cast off...they're only useful in perfect, temperate weather...which happens about 6 days a year in central Florida

I hope they can find a different way to incorporate old hollywood classics!

I guess I know what people mean by "Old Hollywood". But, are we forgetting that Mickey Mouse falls within the "Old Hollywood" umbrella? In addition to that, the current representation of Mickey is very close to the 1930s version of Mickey Mouse. So, it fits the theme/time period as well. Of course, the Great Movie Ride is a classic; BUT, it's an outdated classic that is not very popular and I'm very very excited to see Mickey in his own attraction (FINALLY!)!

Correct

Rewatching the parks panel. Bob Chapek made sure to focus on this is just the beginning of things for World Showcase AND he did not mention the name Future World once.

I noticed both these things as well. Specifically the complete avoidance of calling it Future world....

All that means is they are completely abandoning the original theme of Epcot...which is ok cause the kids think it is boring anyway...

No biggie
