News Round Up 2019

[SaharanTea]

I'm so glad I am taking a break next year. When are they going to push everyone past their limit?

We decided to go this year and just wait a couple of years to see how everything shakes out. Too many bad rumors and too many upcharges already on the books for us. But paid FPs is the hay bale that breaks the spitting camels back.

The Ducks have basically taken over Dinoland USA. I, for one, would support them finishing the job and eliminating Primeval Whirl.

My wife loves the Munkasaurs it was one of her favorite photo ops last year as was my Scrooge meet and greet

Honestly, outside the drama of it all, who cares? The whole influencer story is kind of predictable. Corporations already buy out online personalities already to push their own messaging. Happens in the video game industry in a more obvious way every day. In the end it's all c-level drama. I couldn't care less and kind of chuckle at the naivete of people who think all the "rumor sharers" with "connections" at Disney are all legit people who don't have an agenda.

This is nothing new either. In the Ken Burn's series on Vietnam they had tapes of LBJ providing "anonymous" information to reporters. The I am sure the WH officially denied when the story came out. I also the majority of real information being leaked, is being done with an agenda. The more out there rumors that never pan out I assume come from an intern that sat in on a brainstorming session and doesn't understand how the world works yet.

My luck the announcement will be they are closing Everest to fix the Yeti - starting the week before I arrive next May.

Don't you mean to retheme it to the Mountain from Frozen?

No here is what I want the announcement to be, a Duck Tales themed land at Animal Kingdom, to replace Dinosaur with a Scrooge McDuck Money Bin mine cart ride. Now this will never happen but I firmly feel we need more Ducks in the Domestic Parks as well as more Chip and Dale.

Oh well I can always be a imagineer in my head.

They are Duck discriminators here in the US. There's almost no Donald stuff in the parks, yet he is by far the most interesting of the Fab 5.

Now I'm hoping they announce DHS DAH for the next year.

Watch closer to the train station and take a minnie van? Request during fireworks to minimize the wait.

It’s exploded on some other sites, I’m sure a few of us got our fill in elsewhere. I fell in that hole for far too long ready. Plus now we get to wait to see what the next story being released tomorrow is.

I just fell down a 70+ page rabbit hole on another site........it was...interesting haha

Marvel doesn’t need Spider-Man, but Sony needs Marvel. If this isn’t just a short term negotiation tactic, I imagine Sony will approach them again in a couple years after they mess up.

I have to think this is just a short term negotiating tactic.

I agree. But I like Spiderman, fully enjoyed Far From Home, and was looking forward to him in the next phase in some role. Just an incredibly endearing character when done correctly. Oh well, maybe we'll get more of the Sam Raimi type movies that Sony did well with and not the Andrew Garfield ones.

To be fair, Into the Spider-Verse is pretty cool. I just don't see Sony being able to do Spiderman well consistently. I feel like we'll get more Venom and less Homecoming. And that's a shame.

I can't say with 100% confidence, but I read somewhere that the artist who created Donald Duck granted the rights to his image to the University of Oregon (the ducks). The artist was an alumni of Oregon, and gave them the primary rights over Disney. If I recall correctly, Disney has to pay Oregon to use his image....It seems a bit far fetched, but as a huge Donald Duck fan, I too struggle to find good, especially classic style, merchandise. It seems that it is only every angry Donald.

 

[Gusey]

Will the Spiderman news affect the new arraction at DCA and DLP or will it just mean no Tom Holland Spidey in the ride?

They must think they can handle it now that it’s blown up so much. Probably not...
