News Round Up 2017

It seems like a really fun way to get kids involved with the WS, even if it isn't always P&F I feel like there should always be something like this offered

I agree. I'd love to see them add some portals to the wizards game in Magic Kingdom. Put a compatible version in World showcase. Gives the kids a bit more incentive to stroll around the world showcase, allowing the adults to enjoy the area, without the constant pull to hit a "ride".

Disney Junior Dance party now open

be nice if they did something like that at WDW - maybe as the replacement to the incredibles dance party. Right now I think you can only meet any of the Disney Jr characters at DHS

This replaced Disney Junior in DCA.

Disney put up a photo of the ground breaking of Pandora in the canteen. They photoshopped out Meg Crofton, Tom Staggs and Bruce Vaugh.

It was 31 years after the announcement...maybe the film degraded?

Honestly the California ToT was not that impressive originally. It was a pale version of the Florida ride. Part of the reason why this doesn't bother me at all.

I totally agree. I've never seen the Galaxy movies but from what I've read concerning the ride I won't be rushing to see it. In fact if they move to convert ToT at HS I will not be back

I completely agree. I turned to my wife after it was over and said something like, "Finally, a pirates movie with a story you can follow all the way through and it makes sense." I think it probably helped that I went in with very low expectations, but even if I hadn't, I would have still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the backstories on some of the characters they had and the ending. Nothing will top the first POTC, but this one will rank 2nd or 3rd for sure. I also liked the poster as it was on heavy paper (you can't roll it up), but our ticket taker forgot to give us ours and I had to go back out and ask for it when I saw some people with it later. Again, as was stated above, stay all the way through the credits.

This is good to hear as it is getting lambasted by the media. Not that it matters.

Yep, I have heard the same. 9pm debut tonight as a pre-show to Galactic Spectacular. Expected to be around 10 minutes long and be a celebration of live-action Disney IP's from Indiana Jones to Pirates.

So apparently the Pirates movie is rocking a 31% on rotten tomatoes...

...that's pretty disappointing...maybe somebody OTHER than Johnny depp should have control over what the story is?

But the user score is 80%. I'm sure that will go down, as the early viewers tend to be the die-hards, but interesting to see such a large split.

The criticial score "usually" is more accurate...not always though

After watching it, I can see both scores being that different-if that makes sense.

Looks like an entertaining diversion! If you had to speculate, do you think the Chinese Theater will remain in Hollywood Studios or with the Mickey ride that's coming will they replace it with an "easier" landmark?

Was kinda afraid of that...

Wish they woulda concentrated on a different story...not fan service

The rumors before at least indicated the facade would stay

The Chinese Theater will stay.

Just too early to discuss, but I know what you mean.
