News Round Up 2019

[Tigger's ally]

Sorry if this is repeat news. We’ve been having a blast in the parks for a week so I’m way behind in reading.

My daughter noticed this morning that the water is back in the moat beside the widened path.

She takes amazing pictures for being carried under your arm sideways like that!

Maybe instead of cancelling the Great Moments with the Muppets they just sell Collectible Coins for it

so glad i was there this past weekend to see it a couple of times; I REALLY dont understand this; the crowds were big and people really enjoy it

 

[mikeamizzle]

the new moat looks fantastic by the way; it was done for sure by this past Friday 9/13; as did the refurbed Changing portraits in the haunted mansion

Guess the Muppets are the only thing getting cut ... multiple high level executive layoffs are underway at Walt Disney World

Looks like not a major event - more several executives who had worked their way up and were making high salaries, but not retiring as early as expected and are blocking the way for younger people to move up

So I'm clearly super busy at work, because I just called

After you dial, an automated voice talks A WHILE and asks if you want a text from Shop Disney. I do not, and continued on. The bedtime messages are:

Press 1 for Mickey
Press 2 for Woody
Press 3 for Jasmine
Press 4 for Anna & Elsa
Press 5 for Yoda
Press 6 for Spiderman

I pressed 4 and Anna talked about a pumpkin patch (I was only half listening) and whatever else they did that day. I'm sure my kids will get a kick out of it.

Entertainment is always the easiest thing to cut.

i know; but there is a tipping point i think; at least i hope...

I doubt it will but I appreciate your sentiment. It looks like Disney is looking for low hanging fruit to cut to help prop up a lower then expected annual profit in the Parks. Sacrificial lambs to the investors.

youre right about that; its the bailing the boat instead of plugging the leak adage i think but i want to be hopeful lol.

“The Lion King” Comes to Digital and Blu-ray Home Release This October

Buried in the Creperie news wasn't something I hadn't seen mention before (I'm sure I missed it). It mentions a dedicated bathroom building in the France build up. Certainly a welcome addition, though I think the corner near Canada turning to futureland needs a capacity increase.

I hear some age discrimination going on there, frankly.

In other words - age discrimination

The linked blog post makes no reference to age.

I don't know. I kind of like the charm of having to do international travel to use the bathroom It reminds me of the lack of women's restrooms in the engineering buildings in college. Sometimes, there was only 1 for the whole multi-floor building
