If the last time you went was 4 years ago, Space 220 is new.

15 may be too old to really care about the gimmick though. A lot of people think it's overpriced, and objectively yeah you can get the same meal for a lot less outside of Disney... but that's true for every meal at Disney. I got the upgrade lobster and it was still very good.

That said, if the eating in space gimmick doesn't appeal to him I'd skip it.

DeSantis suggested Monday that the board might push for a say in Disney’s content if the corporation wants its tax-friendly home base to remain as is.

“When you lose your way, you gotta have people that are going to tell you the truth,” DeSantis said. “All these board members very much would like to see the type of entertainment that all families can appreciate.”

Apparently there was an employee at the press conference who maybe had some idea what he was talking about?

WaPo:

quote:

Though the board is tasked with overseeing duties such as sewage treatment and road maintenance at Disney’s properties, DeSantis suggested Monday that he is also expecting it to act as a sort of moral arbiter for the company he has described as a “woke Burbank corporation” that is “trying to inject woke ideology” on children.

The board doesn’t have direct power over the creative content Disney produces, such as movies and characters and rides. But because the new appointees hold purse strings over infrastructure projects, they could influence Disney’s decisions.

(...)

On Monday, DeSantis continued to stress his “anti-woke” agenda, inviting speakers to the bill signing who blamed Disney for producing content they characterized as dangerous. One Disney employee invited to the bill signing pointed to the show “Little Demon,” an animated series about Satan’s teen daughter that is streamed on FX Networks, a subsidiary of Disney Entertainment. The show has drawn criticism from conservative Christian activists.

I guess Satan is what is 'woke' now. At any rate I highly doubt any FX show is represented in a park.

Anyway, Mando and Grogu appeared in Hollywood Studios today. I may have to rethink my plans for my trip next week to include a stop at DHS. It's too bad it's completely unpredictable when or if characters will show up...right?

My friend referred to it as a secret transport operation so I’m not sure their appearances are going to be a regular appearance.

I know there's a similar AP version of this, but honestly they should sell a park hopper mid tier that is just "Gets you into Epcot and nowhere else after 2pm" and I'm kinda surprised they don't do that given it's the only park with rotating festivals

They got rid of that AP option :( We were going to downgrade our annual passes from Gold to the Epcot-only pass, since that's the park we frequent, but nope. Their new tiers of passes suck in comparison and I'm still trying to convince my husband to just let us drop Disney passes for a while and keep Universal only. I've been rather meh on Disney after all the post-covid changes.

Though we did just get off the Wish for my 40th bday cruise. It was me, my husband, and our 16-year-old exchange student. I really enjoyed the cruise for the most part, but I think that may be a one-and-done cruise line for me, unless we end up having a younger child along in the future. I loved everything about the cruise and the ship except for the sheer amount of misbehaving children on board. I knew it would have a ton of kids and I like kids, so I was fine with it, but holy poo poo parents just flat out let their children run mad all over the ship and Castaway Cay without a care for how it affects others. Whenever we escaped to the adult-only areas or events, it was great, but dinners/shows/everything else was just a madhouse.

Edit: It was a packed 3 night cruise. I think the sheer amount of wild children and parents who could not care less about their kid's behavior would be a lot more tolerable on a longer cruise.

I'm really glad Mando and Grogu are allowed to appear in DHS now. Based on what I knew around the Starcruiser launch, I'm guessing they decided it didn't make sense to continue with the "time lock" thing specifically between the TLJ and RoS movies.

I imagine that’s why the marketplace is his territory at the moment. Nobody gets a photo with Mando in front of the Falcon.

But really it’s probably for crowding mainly.

I thought this Haunted Mansion movie was going to be a more serious effort? Instead this seems to be a comedy yet again. It also has that "we're not taking this too seriously 😉😉" tone that permeates everything Disney puts out these days. Not impressed.

I don't like the weird improvisational style that's in every comedy film these days, but I think horror comedy is the right tone to strike for a movie like this. Haunted Mansion isn't supposed to be scary!

I finished the half! Weather was perfect and running through the castle and seeing my friends cheer for me on Main Street was pretty cool. Now insane enough to consider the WDW full in January.

Also, hitting the parks post race meant I did 20.55 miles Sunday and 11.44 on Monday. So I’m truly an idiot as I limped around with my medal.
