UP and Tangled themed Ice Cream Cones coming to the Magic Kingdom:

http://blogmickey.com/2019/02/up-and-tangled-themed-ice-cream-cones-coming-to-magic-kingdom/

First up is the Adventure Is Out There Cone guests will be able to find this cone at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Tomorrowland. The Adventure Is Out There Cone will cost $5.29.

Next, we’ll head over to Storybook Treats to find The Lost Princess Cone. The Lost Princess Cone will cost $5.29 as well.
 
We will be there 9/28-10/6. There are so many things ending on the 30th that we are torn on what to go to. Our son LOVES the lion king so I think the 30th will be spent at AK for the last day of anniversary celebrations. It will be so cool to see all of the progress on everything and we are excited to ride the gondolas.
 
A few months ago, these were being discussed on this thread. At that time, there were questions about whether the adhesive would hold.

When I was at Disney World in early February, I bought one. As you can see, basically, the answer to whether or not the adhesive will hold, is that no it will not.

Here are my results. It is installed on an OtterBox, hard plastic smooth case.

@rteetz - is this really rumored? That you will have to pick park days in advance? How will they deal with hoppers and day of guests? Sorry, I have a lot of questions, but I wanted to know if that was an actual rumor or just PP's speculation, although, obviously, I think it could be correct. Yikes. I would absolutely hate that. Like go from "here's my money WDW" to "that's enough."

Sorry .. didn't mean to panic.
This is purely speculation.
I was speculating that maybe they force you to pick your park -- aka "reserve" your spot to go to DHS on a given day (just like you do with Fast Passes). Rather than just close the park with little notice if it reaches capacity, to just force you to pick your day so they can limit how many people will go in on any given day.

Some of us are speculating how Disney may control the estimated massive crowds that will want to see SWGE. DHS isn't a big park (space-wise). And having long lines snaking through the park makes moving worse and ruins the "immersion" they are trying to create with this land.

Some think they may limit entry to the park or the land (stand in a queue just to go through the tunnel).
Some think they may have the Grand Avenue be the entrance and Toy Story Land be the exit.
Some think they may have limited ticketed events to entice people to pay for those early morning/late night events to skip the crowds.
Some think that they may do Fast Passes ONLY for the attractions there (and thus only let you in the land if you have a fast pass for one of the attractions).

I just wish I could take this post and shove it in Iger's face. His comments about video games during that last earnings call made me want to puke! I am absolutely flummoxed by his seeming lack of interest in building up their video game segment. What a wasted opportunity!

I get that but I also see it from the business side. Disney has never been a major game producer and I think Disney doesn't see a large market for games they would produce which is likely why they don't do it. Disney would rather license the characters than produce the games themselves.

I don't mind that they license the characters, but they need to be sure the companies they license them to are PRODUCING the quantity and quality of games the IP's deserve. They are NOT doing that right now, imo. I can drop it now. Thanks.

Meh. I think it's ok for there to be one sector of the universe that they don't seek to rule... ;) Licensing seems like a good business option to me on this one -- but I do know there are issues with things like EA...

Oh, it's worth speculating about certainly as it IS going to be a problem for sure. The idea of having to pick your park in advance could be a deal breaker for our family. We do use fps and often get them in advance, but when DH and I go we really don't want that, or want the ability to NOT. I'm constantly in fear of the other shoe dropping and WDW getting rid of hoppers, which is when I'm done. I don't want to be done, but going and not being able to just come and go would ruin it for me. I've already been driven off property, but I'll make an exception for a SW hotel stay:)

I have no idea what they'll do as I don't think the powers that be really understand what's going to happen. We're considering taking the kids to CA this summer to see it but I'm worried about getting in and that's a long flight with little kids to just end up disappointing them. Wish I could predict how CA is going to handle it. I'm hoping they come out with a hard ticket event pretty soon...like any time. I wonder if they might do an admission within an admission to keep APs down? Not suggesting they should, but wondering.
