News Round Up 2016

Been trying to book rooms for our November trip to Shanghai for an hour. We finally got past creating an account on a page that wouldn't translate and got to the checkout page, but now it won't let us pay. We've been fighting this issue for half an hour. It's supposed to pop up a new window for payment, but does nothing but open the same page over and over, regardless of browser or computer (or phone) we use. Ugh.

I can tell you, you aren't the only one having issues.
 
I thought I read on here that
i thought I read on here that chefs les France is changing to dinner only too. I wonder why all the changes with omitting lunch?

I didn't post anything about chefs de France that would be interesting though.
 
Oops sorry. I just realized I read about chefs les France on the restaurant thread. It's rumored there that they might be doing away with their lunch menu.

Le Cellier did that a while back. Now its only the dinner menu all day. It raises the dollars per person for cash payers, forces people to use two dining credits if on the plan, and it means less dishes to learn to make in the kitchen since there is no lunch menu so I could see them doing it at other restaurants.
 
So Steven Tyler was seen yesterday checking out Rock 'n' Roller Coaster for his 68th birthday. I wonder if he was saying goodbye to the Aerosmith overlay as well :charac2::scratchin

and then he was spotted at Universal at Harry Potter ... so more than likely just coincidence

Tickets are now on sale for Disneyland Shanghai!

And apparently none of the Disney Shanghai websites are cooperating for people who want tickets.

From Bloomberg Business:
Shanghai Disneyland Opening Day Tickets Sold Out Online in Hours

Tickets for the June 16 opening day of Walt Disney Co.’s new theme park in Shanghai were sold out on its official ticketing website hours after going on sale at midnight on Monday.

Tickets from June 17 to Sept. 30 are still available, ranging in price from 370 yuan ($57) for non-peak periods, to 499 yuan for peak periods, which include the park’s first two weeks, all weekends, and the summer months of July and August.

The 963-acre park, Disney’s sixth worldwide, is three times the size of Hong Kong Disneyland, with non-peak tickets costing about 20 percent less. Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger has called the China resort Disney’s greatest opportunity since Walt Disney himself bought land in central Florida in the 1960s. The company plans to court 330 million Chinese who live within a three-hour train or car trip of Shanghai.

"Relying on the large desire for family-style entertainment and the rising purchasing power of Chinese consumers, Shanghai Disneyland is likely to set off massive consumer demand," Chang Jiang Securities Co. analyst Li Jin wrote in a note released Monday.

The resort’s revenue is likely to range from 24 billion to 40 billion yuan a year, with up to to 50 million visitors expected annually, according to Li.

Hotel rooms at Shanghai Disney Resort were also quickly snapped up.

As of noon on Monday, rooms were fully-booked at the resort’s two on-site hotels, the Toy Story Hotel and the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, for the first two weeks of the resort’s opening, according to the booking website.

Rooms at the Toy Story Hotel start at 850 yuan while rooms at the Shanghai Disneyland Resort Hotel are priced at about 2000 yuan.

Shanghai Disney Resort’s ticketing website requires buyers to register their ID numbers upon purchase to prevent ticket scalping. Walt Disney representatives did not reply to e-mailed questions and phone calls seeking comment.
 
Was really hoping to read "chef" or "menu" instead of "hours."
Me too!
Coral Reef was an amazing restaurant in 1991. In the 18 years between visits, something terrible happened.
They need to revisit the old menu, even if it flips Coral Reef to Signature.
I would love to go again and have excellent seafood.
