News Round Up 2018

I hope you're right. My wife and I are headed to DL to celebrate our 40th birthdays plus our 10th anniversary that weekend. I know that the Christmas stuff opens while we are there and that it'll be crowded but am hoping we won't have to deal with tv stuff too.
It's honestly not that bad with the filming. It's mostly limited to the area right in front of the castle, but you can walk around it easily. I ended up being there last year and got to watch Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell singing (and it wasn't lip synced), plus some others - but that one was the only one I was in the castle crowd. It was actually pretty cool. A bunch of people in the crowd also got the free glow ears (they give them out randomly and try to distribute throughout the crowd so it looks better on tv)

And... there could be other surprises happening that time - I rode Star Tours and Mark Hamill joined us! He filmed a little snippet for the Christmas special (introducing a TLJ preview), so they also brought him over to surprise some guests and film a segment for Disney Parks Blog.
 


No change is in effect. I priced tickets this morning. Maybe try a different browser? UT is authorized to sell the old tickets through 10/29.

I purchased our tickets from UT - was just curious what the price difference was now with the new ticketing structure. But it sounds like it didn't go into effect on 10/16 as advertised?

The ticket system did change. They might just have issues with it currently. Disney IT really seems to have issues every time they do something different to their website. I was able to see the pricing structure until December 2019 on the Ticket page of the WDW website on the 16th.

Price is dependent on the day. It is in effect on the Disney site now and will be on UT after 10/29. I was looking at the new tickets this morning.
 
Guardians would make sense.

Yeah, I thought there were some rumors for the Guardians coaster that the cars may rotate to direct the rider's attention to different scenes or set-pieces. These coaster designs would match up with the rumors.

Thanks - the WDW site isn't working for me so I wasn't sure. Nothing new to have issues with their site. lol

Spending the day riding on a bus and was shocked I caught this. I guess it's cool, more resorts are good, but they just converted a bunch of rooms at wilderness Lodge to DVC because they couldn't sell the rooms on cash. Now they are going to build a similar themed resort in a similar spot? Strange. I also am not a fan of WL location, so think I'll prefer Riviera, but I do have to say if this removes the eyesore that is River Country then it is a pretty big win for that area. Sounds like it won't close Fort Wilderness either, which I know many we're worried about. (And suppose this is why Mickey's BBQ is closing?)

Not really similarly themed if you look at the art.
