News Round Up 2017

[TwoMisfits]

Disney has announced discounted tickets for Florida residents for 2017 - 3 and 4 day Discover Disney. Animal Kingdom is blocked on these tickets from May 27 through June 9, maybe because that's when Avatar is opening?

These are way cheaper than last year's early year promo of $209/$195 for 4 day Florida Res tickets. One could say this is finally a price decrease from 2016, since $159 is much less than $209......

Disney Parks girl hoodie recalled for choking hazard. We own this one, and I know there's a few Parents/grandparents here that might have it too.

Currently on the express bus from DHS to Epcot. Pick up is behind ToT. I'm loving it so far.

Forgive my ignorance, but I clicked the link and am struggling to see what the choking hazard is? I'm chalking it up to the fact that I don't have kids, so maybe I'm not looking at the right way...

I inspected ours and can,only assume it's snaps coming loose. They're right in front.

Naturally, I will miss this by one day.

I've only used the express transportation once so far but I loved it. The not having to wait for security is great.

I think I saw you have a decently large group, but are there others on board? I'm really curious if the demand is solid enough to keep it going or at least have it in place for summer.

I'm in a group of 12. Nobody else was on board and my grandma has an ECV. I saw others using the service though. When we got off people were getting on.

My guess is that it has something to do with the snap closures. The grommets may not be fully attached

That's a pretty significant decrease.

Must not be as confident as they were last year when they jacked this up to $209.

Last year were all 4 parks included? Because that figured about $50 per park if all were included and that is the same this year if you are only allowed in 3 parks.

From my experience with the express bus last week, it is definitely worth the money!!

You're only disallowed AK for 2 weeks - you can use it any other time for the next 5 months...

That same ticket in 2010 was $99. That's why I use the eloquent term "jacked up".

And you don't really see them reverse course like this.

That's how I read it as well.

We have been considering using it, but will be traveling with a 7 year old. Do you think it would "ruin the magic"?

How much was this service again?
