News Round Up 2019

@DLthings is reporting on Twitter that Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge costume reveal will take place next Tuesday, February 26 during a cast-only after hours party in Tomorrowland at Disneyland. Public unveiling to follow.

This may be old news, but I also saw that the Disneyland AP Twitter account responded to someone asking about whether or not alcohol sold in GE would be allowed to be taken out into the rest of the park. They stated "guests will be required to stay in Oga's Cantina while enjoying alcoholic beverages."

and there you go. Did anyone watch this? 'and possibly even take it to a theme park' not subtle at all.

Hadn’t seen that last part (so at least news to me) but is what I expected - similar to table service meals in MK at WDW and can only be consumed there. I assume will be limit to how many they will let you consume as well

To the first part, I am excited to see them!

I wonder if the entire top floor is Toledo's restaurant?

Any idea what the domes are for?

Decorative I believe.

I don’t believe it will be the entire top floor.

Pretty cool if it happens. Unfortunately I will have to view it on YouTube after the fact.

Noting official but rumors point to Sept. 30th being the last day.

I didn’t see it posted probably somewhere on here but if not frozen 2 set the world record for a animated trailer most watch in 24.hours. 116.4 million times.
Previous record holder was Incredibles 2

Serious question for anybody. When was the last time Disney Animation had a decent squeal? Pixar pulls it off all the time, but I can't think of one from Disney itself.

Walt Disney Animation Studios hasn’t really released any sequels. For example I can only think of The Rescuers Down Under and Ralph Breaks the Internet. Many of the sequels in the 90s and 2000s were direct to VHS and not produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios but by Walt Disney Video Premiere and Walt Disney Television Animation. So quality of work probably was very different.

That's true, I was lumping them in with Disney Animation, which probably isn't fair. I was thinking Ralph was Pixar, I thought Breaks the Internet was good.

SHOP: Tie-Dye Line of Shirts and More for Walt Disney World and Disneyland

I know this is a minor blip of news... But, I think we’ll stick to making our own tie-dye shirts. Much more fun and less expensive. I also don’t think these are altogether that attractive.

I know they are trying to “compete” with the homemade/Etsy shirts, but part of the fun is the making and/or customizing them.

Well, if you include Pixar then the Toy Story sequels are quite good. But even then there aren’t *that* many sequels to choose from and Disney never did many ... as Walt said “you can’t top pigs with pigs”

Fully agree - Disney seems to be in the “people are making / selling their own and we need to get a piece of it” mode even more than usually lately
