Sorcerer’s Hat Cake, Banana Split Cocktail, Incredibles Macarons Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios 30th Anniversary

I may have to start training my pancreas before our May trip. Since I've been eating Keto, sugar has not seen this body. Surely it's forgotten how to metabolize glucose! I don't know how I can pass these up.

PHOTO REPORT: Disney Springs 4/18/19 (Amorette’s Easter Egg Display, Sprinkles Cupcakes, New Socks, and More!)

I know what my co-workers are getting as Christmas presents this year! Disney socks! And those Easter Eggs! I would totally buy them if they were in sculpture form as a decoration on my Easter buffet! As an aside, we're doing the cake decorating at Amorette's in early September and we're (I'm) really looking forward to that. Those cakes always look to good to eat but since I'm training my pancreas, I might as well give it a go.

We have been keto for a 1 1/2 years, except at Disney. We went 5 times in the last year. The first day is usually the worst but the body adjusts well. 4 out of the 5 trips I felt like breaking keto actually jump started my weight loss when we got home. If that is why you are doing it. Although the first few days home are rough breaking the sugar cycle. I have lost 100 lbs and I don’t think I would have stuck with it without having Disney to look forward too.

We don't eat keto, but we are healthy eaters and I don't have a large appetite.

About a week before we go to Disney, I swear I start eating chips and fast food, to get my stomach ready! This way I avoid the tummy troubles when I get to Disney from all the (good) bad food!

Epcot entrance project begins

http://blogmickey.com/2019/04/photos-massive-epcot-entrance-overhaul-project-begins/

Luckily next year we are staying at Boardwalk, so we most likely won't see the entrance construction.

Last trip we stayed at Polynesian and it was so weird walking in the main entrance! We always stay in the Epcot area and use IG.

No I don't have an issue with them donating to charities. It just to me that I don't think this should be paid for by corporate gifts. Private, French Government and the church, sure - but I don' think this is something that corporations should be getting involved with. Though as I said, I am not like angry about it or anything - just stating an opinion. My original point was that the announcement about the solar system is something that likely costs the company money - at least in the short term, but really shows good forethought and benefitting the environment as well as being a PR move. Donating to Notre Dame is purely a PR move.

ALL corporate donations are part doing something good, part PR move. This is no different.

You compared apples and oranges -- an investment to a donation. Makes no sense.

I'm glad that most people I've seen disagree with you on this. I'll leave it at that.

This was a pain yesterday. I hate parking in the far parking lots of Epcot. Fun enough...It was still faster to walk to the gates than take the tram.

Not sure if anyone still watches American Idol but they released the full song listing for Disney night (April 21st).

Mostly typical songs you would expect, but points to Uché for picking “I2I” from A Goofy Movie

We are similar. Keto at home, but there are no carbs at Disney . It does help to have that break to look forward to.

Sort of expected at this point but no roaming droids in SWGE at opening

With all the costumes for SWGE in the merch teaser video, I wonder how DHS is going to handle costumed adults? They're building that immersive hotel, where (I assume) all guests will be allowed to be costumed and then have direct access to Galaxy's Edge. I'm just curious how that might work.

I'm interested in how long they will hold back. I'm expecting at least several years worth of steady large crowds but it would be a shame if it had to be halted for that long. I certainly undestand though holding back.

Definitely not surprising, and probably for the best ... hope that it really is just a "for now" thing and not a "never gonna happen" thing

I was wondering that myself - would think it would be hard to sell all these robes and costume looking things but then tell people thy can't wear them

I think for those staying at the hotel it will be a little different as I expect them to have some exclusive time/access to Galaxy's Edge and think they will be able to wear costumes then that tie into the roles they are playing during their stay (so will be costumes provided to them by Disney as part of their stay)

Today’s Hagrid's coaster creature revealed

https://blog.universalorlando.com/whats-new/first-ever-look-at-creatures/

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

I watched their promo video on Universal's website (though seriously Tom Felton..I can't get over his hair lol). Anyways I don't know if that's been posted on this thread before but it's easy to find on their website. It really makes you get in the excitement mood for the coaster. The way the ride vehicle is too it's going to make you want to ride it at least twice switching places. I like seeing all these creatures revealed too.
