News Round Up 2019

[Clockwork]

The main actors are, but don't the locals normally have different accents? It just something I thought about when watching the reviews, and since I was doing it at work I was mostly listening so the voices stuck out. As for what kind of accent, I was thinking anything that sounded different that what you hear everyday. Again, I know I'm being ridiculous.



Not saying they are "supposed" to sound like anything, just that I think it would help the immersion if they didn't sound just like every other person in SoCal. Maybe even if some of the CMs like the light saber building people were wearing voice changing masks like Leia in ROTJ (could be half face masks, so they didn't cover their eyes).

I spoke with Rey and she definitely had a English accent. I don’t know if she was English or not but she did pull the accent off well. She also was a very good look alike,

This and the Summer One World promotion .. wow .. they REALLY REALLY need people to come during the summer.

I guess this answers the question of whether people have just been delaying their vactions until SWGE opens.
(That and I think people are just trending away from the oppressive summer heat).

As the clock ticks closer to August 29th (less than 3 months now), I think the chances of seeing any fall discounts are falling rapidly.

I don't know, there's still a lot of resort availability through the rest of the year. Even in October and the week of Thanksgiving!

The last couple of summers have been slow. I just think people have shifted their travel to other times. I'm almost tempted to start traveling to Disney in the summer. I'm wondering when they'll lower the ticket prices for summer in their weird ticket pricing they've had the last few years.

I was listening to Josh's podcast (Walt Loved Podcasting) and he made a decent point: WDW starts this EEMH stuff and they might not feel the need to drop any discounts for fall. The extra time in the parks might be incentive enough to get people onsite.

Brazil getting some more wind in coming to Epcot between Germany and Italy?

But... from the same source that said The Land and The Seas would be demolished? So who knows how credible this is

Just seen this on Twitter as well. I'll believe that one once Disney announces it.

This has been a round for two years now including the date from WDWmagic sources.

I say if there is the space to add more countries, which we know there is room for at least 1 new pavillion which doesnt have many backstage buildings on it and there might be room for two or 3 if your willing to demolish the backside of Morroco and use that Area, and the wooded section between it and Japan and also willing to demo the event building between Canada and UK, though since Disney uses it a fair share, I do not think that is happening unless its for a fabled UK ride. But I guess we will find out sooner than later since we have heard there is going to be alot of Epcot related announcements at this years d23.

There is room for multiple pavilions not just one.

Correct.

We typically go the last week of August before our kids go back to school and we find it quite nice. It is really hot but park hours are generally longer so we go early and late and do midday breaks and crowds have been manageable the last few years

Yea, I have heard this in the rumblings that past few years. I thought it may have got brought up last D23 but may get announced this D23.

Oh i know there is room for multiple pavilions but the only space behind world showcase that is currently clear of back buildings is between China and Germany, they could possible squeeze in 2 lands there but the rest of the green space around world showcase with trees also has back buildings behind it that would need to be demoed depending on size of the Pavillion.

Except they just installed stuff for the Illuminations replacement there.

If this is accurate, then that means that the Germany train exhibit will be saying so long, farewell. One of my favorite spots at Epcot.

Havent seen a recent pic of that install yet, also depending on how far back it is, you still would have enough room upfront, and depending on the show pieces installed they may for all we know be something you could incorporate in buildings if need be. Shows at Disney are temporary even the long running ones that is prime real estate if Disney wanted to easy build a new pavilion at Epcot sometime in the future

It easy to move things that are being stored in other spots. As of right now Brazil would go between Germany and Italy.

You can see the space in that picture you posted. That brown/green area was just redone and lights were installed for illuminations.

Brazil would be very cool. Wasn't there a rollercoaster concept attached to it from years ago similar to Matterhorn in Anaheim?
