Don't all parks use paper straws now?
My issue with the paper straws is most restaurants we went to last trip didn't even offer them. At Docking Bay 7 when asked for just ONE (for my little daughter) we were told "we don't have straws anymore" ... yet after my daughter spilled her lemonade (which a cast member gladly helped clean up (and replaced) .. she was able to magically "find" a straw for her.

I get it .. but at least offer them to guests who ask. So you don't give the plastic straws, but you don't freely offer the paper ones (probably because they cost a lot more). Not good.
 
I saw an article saying Mike and Sully and the Incredibles area at DHS are going away at Sept. 30. That was known, but do we know what (if anything) is replacing those?

Despite my son asking, we missed the Incredibles section because we were always on our way somewhere. By the time we did the opportunity, it was already shut down for the night.

I also assume One Man's Dream will be going away soon for a Frozen 2 sneak peak sometime in the next few months.

Planning a potential October trip and trying to catch some things that we missed during our impromptu trip in August (For the AP preview of SWGE).

Nothing is replacing them as of now. They were billed as limited time offerings. I believe Edna will still meet in that back area though.

I just wonder what the future of that dead end alley space .. probably put other limited time events in there.

Any rumors of what becomes of that space .. or the space behind it? (isn't there a huge "empty" spot between Pixar Place and SWGE?


They seem to love to have these limited experiences throughout the middle of the year lately. I'm glad I've caught a few of them. (like the Frozen summer from 2015)

I get it .. it does the trick .. and makes me want to come more often. :)

I wonder if Epcot will start to have some limited experiences to help draw people to a park that will be HEAVILY under construction .. or will they just rely on the festivals to keep it busy?

Really all they could do is meet and greets and small stuff. There is an access road for SWGE and the Chinese theater behind it. The alley is sandwiched by Toy Story mania and Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway.
 


You don’t actually know you’re in a recession until after it starts. Economics is weird like that.
Since a recession is defined as (at least) two consecutive quarters of negative growth, you don't know until you are well into one--or in some cases, after it is over!

EPCOT needs to extend character greeting hours in general (as well as world showcase hours)
 
So, in other words, the only chance of soft openings for the general public are the 27th and 28th.
Correct. As long as everything went well for CM previews, I would expect the Skyliner to soft open on the 27th. There would be no operational reason not to if all the processes and procedures are set and tested and had no issues.

Fingers crossed! We get there the 28th and are hoping to be able to take them to DHS from CBR!
