News Round Up 2021

[Helvetica]

Oh did they say they would announce prices in May? Why is renting a car out of the question?

I genuinely do not know what my family is going to do. We go so often because it’s decently affordable and super convenient but if we have to rent a car or pay a bunch just to get to WDW from MCO then I’m a lot less interested.

It will be interesting to see what the pricing structure is going to look like. I think it’s going to push a lot of families offsite, which may not be a bad thing.

I was kind of shocked how nice my offsite suite was at less the price of a value. I mean, it had a kitchen, free breakfast and the pool had a water slide.

The pandemic has gotten to drive down, now I don’t think I want to go back to flying.

Definitely causing lots of people to rethink things. We had decided to skip flying and drive for the first time on one of our many rescheduled trips, even after rescheduling it to June (next week!) we decided to go ahead and drive. We've never had a car at Disney before, always relied on buses, boats and monorails. Definitely be interesting to see how this changes our opinions about things going forward!

I’m expecting Mears to price the Magic Express replacement around $40 each person round trip? $30 seems on the low side for them and $50 seems too high for us.

Hope they release details soon. Maybe something like $20 one way or $35 round trip.

Since today is the 44th anniversary of the release of Star Wars, a little something to have a new hope for some good news towards all of your wishes!

Gotta be fireworks news coming soon, right?!
I've seen "insiders" hint they are coming back sooner than later, just not when. Come on July 8-12 (Quick stop after our coast/rental house stay in Cortez 3-8.)

Doing my part for the group dance. If you could all slip in a little extra for the ongoing “return of AP sales” portion, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all! We fly into MCO tonight and are staying there tonight before heading to the World tomorrow.
Traveling with a 12, 10, and 6 year olds so if I can answer any news-y questions related to kids I’m happy to do that!

They’ve made great progress on those safety things coming off the track this week. They should be done with it really soon.



Some guys on the scaffolding finishing up that side of the show building’s siding.



The people mover has upped capacity. They’re loading every car now.

I don't know what's wrong with my mouse. Every time I go to click on a website for work it automatically clicks on the News Board instead...I'm going to have to get this thing fixed

While we're wishing for things... I still cannot believe Trader Sam's at Disneyland got an opening date before WDW's Trader Sam's did.
