Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

I wish Disney would stop using the word ICONIC to describe brand new or not even finished things. The canopy isn't iconic. It's not even done.

What's more iconic Disney than unfinished attractions and construction walls? The only way it could be more iconic is if they painted it go away green.

genuinely shocked they didn't take the delay in the shipyard delays as a sign to rework this show to shoehorn encanto in

Why can't Disney ever come out with shirts or souvenirs of the construction walls in Epcot? It's a big memory of ours at Disney!

Maybe a play-set of the Disney Parks with 50 'construction walls' to spread around the parks the way you see fit?

Actually, there is a game very similar to that, which my son has that’s called ‘quoridor.’ You have to keep putting up walls to block the other player from getting to the other side! All they have to do is change the name to ‘quoridor - Disney’s EPCOT Edition’, smack Spaceship Earth in the middle of the board and it will be a hit!!!

Disney Released a FIRST LOOK at the New ‘National Treasure’ TV Series

 

[Brocktoon]

Right @Brocktoon?! I LOVE Lego video games! I’ve played and completed every Lego Star Wars game with DS and I think they’re excellent!! This one looks great!! I’ll definitely be buying this for myself…uhh, I mean DS!!!

I've been waiting for this game for a while ... All new stuff and not a rehash of older Lego SW games (which were great!). The Lego games are great for all ages and downright hilarious in many spots. While I doubt it'll push my PS5 to its' limits it's still my next planned game purchase! It should also be a much needed change of pace from the amazing yet brutally frustrating Elden Ring I'm currently slogging through ...

They are SO funny!!! I really enjoy playing them and look forward to to playing this one… although, I’m notorious for buying games, starting them, and then dropping them halfway though to go back to Fortnite. Slightly addicted.

Good Morning Everyone!! Happy Friday!!


Disney World. The home of so many amazing, cuddly characters that we love to hug, take photos with, and get autographs from!! The ‘must do’ on everyone’s vacation list!! But what happens when Disney tells you that you can no longer squeeze your favorite characters? Or that you have to stand 6 feet apart from them in order to take a picture? Unfortunately, that’s the reality we’re dealing with right now. We’re going to take a closer look at what’s going on in our temporary new normal. Let’s get right to it.


Remember the good times??





Now, when you go to a Disney Park, the characters make sure they completely keep their distance from you.





Instead of being out and about, they sneak around hoping people won’t see them.





Roles have now completely reversed when it comes to guests and characters in the parks as well… The characters now take pictures of YOU!!





They even enjoy all the rides, since they have all that free time now (you know, not hugging you and all.)





If you try to approach them, they do one of two things… they either do whatever they can to avoid an incoming guest…





Or, if you get too close, they will take matters into their own hands. Mickey wastes that kid! (…and look at his face… no regrets!!)





…followed by sending their personal security after you to make sure it doesn’t happen again.





The one thing Disney has truly forgot to add-in to these changes is the Karma factor. Eventually, things will go back to normal… and you know what they say about Karma, right?!?





Don’t worry guys… I’m sure we’ll be able to hug the characters again *SOON!* We got this guys!!!
