I saw it a fourth time over the weekend, which ties it with Civil War for me for most times in theater.

I suspect they will do something similar to what they did last year; select signature restaurants will offer 30% off at select dining times for AP holders for a certain time frame (last year we opted to have dinner at Jiko and Flying Fish due to this marketing).

Yeah, last year we ate at Turf Club on that discount. Good way to get people to restaurants that are needing additional use. And since they offer AP holders these discounts, I would think that they could offer it for restaurants at your particular hotel. They should want those staying there to eat at their restaurants. If I were staying at WL, knowing I get 25-30% off would make a difference.

Will say the obvious there’s a lot of cranes on property. A lot.

Also that section of world drive being closed down at night needs it, it’s a total mess right now

Just read that the ATT and Time Warner merger was approved! Should be exciting over the next few days and weeks as Disney and Comcast battle it out over Twentieth Century Fox!

2018 Fourth of July fireworks and entertainment line-up

Even though I was able to find out yesterday from a friend, I’m still really happy the Voices of Liberty will be performing at the American Gardens Theater on the 4th of July!!! I also hear they are still going to do their normal 7 performances inside the Pavilion on the 4th and at least one of those performances will include the “echo” set (look it up if you don’t know what I’m talking about). I’m going to have a full day of the Voices of Liberty on the 4th of July!

I wonder if they’ll change the stage to how they normally have it on the 4th since the GotG thing is going on.

We’ll be attempting to snag tickets tomorrow, fingers crossed!

For those curious, and since it’s such a slow day, the ticketing link opened 9 minutes late, I got all the way to checkout and was then told “Gold Member tickets are no longer available”. Not surprised but still bummed. Oh well!

ETA: this is in reference to the D23 Pixar Pier event

D23 events are a mess. Lots of people were complaining about registration which happens all the time.
