Can you still walk thru Int'l Gateway to the boardwalk? Also get the friendship ferry over there? I may just be looking at the wall photos from the wrong angle.

Good of them to mention that. Sad commentary on our current lives, that it makes sense to announce these things so folks don't freak out thinking something is up.

Eh..I wouldn't go that route regarding the sad commentary aspect. Besides are they even actually announcing it to guests when they get to the park?

Seeing a helicopter at WDW wouldn't even phase me and honestly I would be more apt to think they were taking video for aerial views then something bad happening. Several times a day military helicopters go over my area. No one ever has advised that the highway I live near is on a military helicopter path. Heck one time (though when school wasn't in session for the day) a helicopter was probably 20-30 feet above the roofline of the new high school near me and they were doing turning maneuver practices-all in a highly residential area too.

The way Disney Corner looks is probably going to be the new look of World of Disney.

Ugh. Looks like a discount store to me.

I just want to take a crayon and color the walls. It reminds of coloring book pages. It is very cute (the pictures on the walls) but it really needs some color.

Don't worry... wouldn't be surprised if some kids take care of that...

A little disappointing that it's so Iron Man heavy (Team Cap all the way!), but I'm totally still going to stay there whenever I make it back to DLP.

I have two thoughts on this...
I personally like the clutter and chaos of the BIG DISNEY STORE - it's like one more immersion for me. I like to walk from room to room, and suddenly see something I didn't see the other five times I strolled through...It was my primary purpose for going DOWNTOWN - I know, it's not called that anymore, but I still think of it that way.

- BUT -

Since everything here is available at almost EVERY other Disney store - the big ones in the parks and the small ones in the resorts - I have to say that I really don't plan a visit unless I'm going to the Springs for another reason - and that has rarely happened in the last several years.

If they turn the World of Disney store into yet another mall-type store, I just won't waste the time during my trip - I'll buy online.

Yeah other than the Co-op and Uniqlo I don’t really shop at Disney Springs. I primarily go for the dining.

One thing I'm confident about...they will not drag their feet with this project. They won't want a majority of the flagship retail store closed for long.

Don’t know if any of y’all listen to the podcast Binge Mode but they did a deep dive on the Marvel Cinematic Universe that released today. I enjoyed it. I don’t remember any examples particular but I know that there is an adult content warning at the beginning of every episode. I’ll come back and post a link when I get back to my computer. In the meantime you can find it on iTunes podcasts for sure or at theringer.com under the podcast tab.

They should let them honestly. That would be a great draw and fun for the kids

I don’t particularly follow binge mode but would like to add the ringer podcast network is awesome

That's cool that Scrooge McDuck and Launchpad will be meeting!

I assume the Dug back meeting with Russell is just until the new Up Bird Show starts, right?

Did I miss something? Where is the Scrooge and Launchpad meetup?

In Dinoland as part of the Donald dance party thing for the summer
