News Round Up 2019

I guess I missed it yesterday. I assume you are correct, but the top two look much more like CMs than the baggy robe on the bottom. I guess it might be a security thing, in that it would be easy to hide things in the baggy robe.

I'm guessing it could be a safety thing as robes could be caught in ride mechanism. Anticipating that people who wear these clothes will wear them for the entire day so thinking of the safety on all rides.

Walt Disney World Offers a Limited Time Discount on Lunch for Annual Passholders

I got all excited for this and then I remembered we bought a Tables in Wonderland card. The talk of Crystal Palace lunch/dinner prices has me reconsidering my breakfast ADR

The animation looks like it's setting a new bar.

Very excited for this!

I'm very excited as well. It looks like we're going to see a lot of Nordic mythology, with the Nokk (the ocean horse), that fire thing, and those giants that reminded me of the original Maelstrom.

do we know if any of this is limited edition/release or can I expect it to still be there when we go in August?

I'm more excited for this than I am for TS4. Although I've been skeptical of that one ever since they announced it.

Not sure I am feeling this one yet - just don't have a grasp of the storyline and why this story is needed to be told, etc.

I am impressed with how far animation of things like water have come and I am sure we will go see it - just not "jazzed" based on this trailer

Because the first one made a double boatload of money and this one will make at least one, and maybe another two, boatloads more. But I suspect you already knew the reason this needed to be told!

Well, i would say that is the reason Frozen II is being made ... more my question of why this storyline is the one that they felt should be told vs other options for stoylines, etc.

but yes, at a higher level, I get that $$$ is always the answer

Disney release first ad spot for Galaxy's Edge for Walt Disney World. Reminds me a bit of the ads Universal has been having with asking the kid (who isn't a little kid) if they are ready, etc. - gives me same vibe of "are you ready for a non-kiddie experience at an Orlando themepark?"

Hundreds of adults and kids wear robes/cloaks to Universal every day, whether purchased or homemade, and there doesn’t appear to be any safety issues. Some people wear it all day and go on many rides. I have and I’ve never had any issues. Of course, Universal does have streamlined, fast security with everyone going through a metal detector.

I think Disney just doesn’t want adults wearing costumes, which stinks as wearing a costume in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade increases my enjoyment of the areas and makes it seem more real. I think the same would be true of Batuu.

Will be buying a lot of this. Really hope the torch blowing out is a part of future shows. Still gives me chills. Similar to Tinker Bell flying?

That's sad.
