News Round Up 2019

Seems crazy to me that they're not managing to open this sooner... you'd think they'd want days of steady operation before SWGE opening...


I think you're right -- it's rubbing some people the wrong way... some of the same people voice this over and over on boards. I suspect there are a great many who don't care one bit -- particularly if they are convention-goers or the like. Disney seems to know how to keep hotel rooms pretty booked, so I'm betting they know what they're doing here.

If people really look at the reviews and videos, there's nods to Disney all over this hotel. Hidden Mickey's on the hallways and even little Mickey heads on the barn door to the bathroom!

oh my god. That was horrifying. Did they arrest the maniac in the red shirt? I would have been throwing strollers at him just to get him off of her.

Yeah I doubt most people care though I was careful in saying some

I'd be careful with posting things about the fight in DL. The thread that was about that was completely deleted though I don't know why.

ahh well, if it gets removed; so be it.

I think I was originally wondering how the outside decor was going to impact things but in that picture you're pointing out it's not bad at all and would be a nice view (if nothing else for the trees and a hint of the parks) if you were sat there.

Just take the Coronado Springs bus from MK - the Tower (should be) the first drop off!

Actually the tower is the last stop.

Yes I misspoke! I went back and edited my post, sorry!

That’s very good news. I was bummed that this wasn’t addressed with the opening but I’m glad they’re rolling it out.

Disney Springs bus stop is the worst.

Yup. And the ride share pickup is so far away from most things.

Chewbacca and Kylo-Ren meet and greets in Disney’s Hollywood Studios have gone to Digital Photopass Photographers. No Cast Member taking pictures in these meet & greets.

BB-8 still has the Cast Member Photopass Photographer.

I'm beginning to think that Disney is just closing down rides/shows lately to temporarily increase merch sales.

Or, as it is known in the industry "pulling a Chapek"

Looking at the international gateway construction I can surely see why it wouldn't be ready by 8-28. They must have diverted workers elsewhere as the work there seem to have really stalled out.

Part of the reason why it appears to have slowed is they have been installing new drainage and electrical conduits, and concrete foundations. The progress of this kind of work isn't as noticeable. Now that it's mostly done it will seem like the work is going faster. Not sure they can get it done in less than two months though.

That seems a little backwards to me. If anything had to be done with a digital photographer, BB-8 is one I wouldn't mind as much, since he doesn't move or interact a whole lot compared to other characters. But who knows, BB-8 could be next.
