Portions of Victory Way closed nightly this week

Wild guess but could this be related to running the wires for the Skyliner? I can't quite tell from the picture if where it is closed is where the Skyliner will run or not?

Can't remember if this has been discussed here, somewhere else or not at all. At DHS for my last day and got to the park about 850. Just got an email welcoming me to the park and to respond to it if I have feedback or problems and that they respond as they receive the emails. From the VP.

Been here since last Fri and in all parks and this is the first email like this I've gotten. I'm sure it's tied to my mb but this is the first day I've been on wifi in the parks. Just got the same push message from the app.

WDWNT’s review of the Tony’s extra upcharge event at the Very Merry Christmas Party

https://twitter.com/WDWNT/status/1061357242128179200

Summary:
Food is terrible, some decorations were hastily put together (still had price tag on it), specialty drink was terrible and beer and wines were ok but cheap - on the plus side they were freely flowing (the reviewer had 7 glasses of wine)

Also on the plus side, the Tony character was wonderful and unique and the reserved viewing area is probly the most coveted spot - so if you put a premium on that then they can recommend the party

Also on the plus side, the Tony character we wonderful and unique and the reserved viewing area is proble the most coveted spot - so if you put a premium on that then they can cecommend the party

Based on amount of misspellings in the summary, I'd say the reviewer definitely had seven glasses of wine!

Well, I had written that to try and summarize that - and I had not had 7 glasses of wine .... but I did have a phone that has been finicky of late and I tried several times to correct this ga but that was the best I could get

Do you think if they finished certain sections first they may start using them or will they wait until the entire structure is done across all locations?

I think they will just wait as most of the stations are getting there and I would think easier to get all the cables done at once and test the entire system, etc

One exception could be the Riviera station which will just be a pass through to start
