Completely forgot about the earnings call.

Iger said he expects a larger marvel presence at Shanghai Disneyland.

Tokyo expansion breaks ground May 21st called FantaSea.

Endgame will be on Disney+ December 11th.

Fox is expected to release 5-6 films a year.

Rise of the Resistance will open later this year.

Iger says they plan to be smart about price increases at the parks.

Disney has been in talks to buy the Comcast stake in Hulu.

And for the fox films that’s not including searchlight.

They're calling it FantaSea?

They're calling it FantaSea?

Yeah

 

[TheMaxRebo]

They're calling it FantaSea?

It's way better than any of the new names they floated for Hollywood Studios in my mind

Western Way expansion road now open

https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/flam...ern-way-extension-to-avalon-road-now-open.htm

We use Western Way to sneak onto Disney property from Orange Lake with little to no traffic. Hope it stays that way.

Aloha Isle is one of the worst examples of how to do mobile ordering. They should probably just get rid of it there. I usually put in my order before I get there and then immediately get in the mobile ordering line, even before it says it's ready. There are usually others that have done that too.

Last Nov I used mobile order at Casey's and it worked great though it was after the lunch rush. I also used it at ABC Com around lunch and it wasn't good. There were several of us waiting that had put our orders in and we watched as people in line ordered and got their food before any of us. It made no sense and was quite annoying.

Colored Wristbands to be used to enforce 4-hour access window in Galaxy's Edge - CMs will deny access to the Falcon ride and the stores, etc. if your color doesn't correspond to an active time and sounds like if you are there well past your time slot and the land is too crowded, eventually you will be asked to leave more directly

http://blogmickey.com/2019/05/color...4-hour-time-window-at-star-wars-galaxys-edge/


some additional tidbits from WDWNT:

https://wdwnt.com/2019/05/disneylan...-colored-wristbands-and-stormtrooper-patrols/

- Stragglers will be dealt with by the First Order stormtroopers patrolling the land. “We’ll be utilizing the troopers to help us, for sure,” Theiler joked. (thinking WDWNT might not get the "joking" part)

- The goal is to keep the wait times for Smugglers Run under two hours, Theiler said. Accommodations will be made if the attraction should experience any downtime

- The wait time for Smugglers Run will balloon if everybody entering Galaxy’s Edge heads straight for the attraction. Disney hopes to disperse visitors throughout the land during the reservation-only period and persuade riders to postpone their journey on Smugglers Run until the second or third hour of their visit when wait times will be less. (no indication how they will "persuade" them .... Jedi mind tricks? "This is not when you are looking to ride the Falcon")

Well buggers! don't even know any of the people that are there during our trip - and we love many of the bands playing when we're not there.

Eat to the Beat concert series line up

http://blogmickey.com/2019/05/2019-eat-to-the-beat-concert-lineup-announced/

Well I officially know what days I will be getting dining packages. 2 of my favorite groups/artists are coming this year! One of them being new to the concert series as well! Yay!!! Why does one of them have to come on a Saturday or Sunday though?!?! I hate food and wine on the weekends so much!

Also, can I just laugh that D Capella is performing at this and that they only get one night? Personally, I would never spend money to see them perform so maybe this will be my chance. I just haven’t been impressed with anything they have done.
