NEWS/REPORT

Appears the raspberry dole whip is gone and the Hei Hei cone along with it at Aloha Island (CMs are saying it is gone for good - but guess only time will tell)

I hope they keep trying alternate versions - even if this specific ones don't return

Well that sucks. Though they have the new lion king themed dole whip at AK.

Review I read said it was underwhelming (the Lion King one) that the syrup didn't add much flavor (I am a fan of the version with Rum though .... Which you can now try!)

The rum version is definitely on the to do list

Specialty bands appear to be sold out for resort guests. I tried last night and again today but can only get the normal coloured bands to appear. Others are reporting the same. Seems like this option was a HUGE success! Hope they add more bands again!!

Doesn't this sort of defeat the security purpose? Disney should just go to scanners.

If you mean the fully body scanners, there seem to be a lot of problems with those, including some efficacy concerns. Anywhere I've been traveling, TSA pre check gets you in a metal detector line anyway -- many people are not going through those scanners. In any case, I think there's some benefit to the deterrent of detectors of any kind, but the real security is very likely what we don't see. I'm not worried about this change at all -- it's the same type of detector setting they have for museums in DC, for instance.

I am talking about the Universal or DLP system.

I hope it's good. We will be seeing it Monday. I was worried that I would regret seeing it instead of Also, Also Wick or Detective Pikachu. We always see a movie on Monday after attending the Indy 500. Usually, the choices are really good, but this year, the good, well decent, movies are coming out on the 31st

Have fun at the race and go Helio! Though I don't expect much sadly. I'd love to see him get number 4 though.

Yeah they said they ran out and will restock and shut it down except for APs or something

Been a bit of a disaster as they sold more than they had - some people picked one and checked out/credit card charges only to find out later they didn't have it and changed it back to a solid color

Only thing I can say to the updated boards is:

“Mr. Stark, it smells like a new car in here!”

Looks good!

Is there still a page for “unread watched threads”

Best I can find is this: https://www.disboards.com/watched/threads which shows me ALL of my watched threads. I obviously prefer to just see the “unread” ones...

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Glad they are back up ... Welcome back everyone!

Looking forward to exploring the new features (new smiley)
