the brickwork on Main St looks rather nice

It looks great in person, although it’s a little mismatched with the color of the brick on the sidewalk but my guess is with time in the sun and people walking on it the color will start to darken/fade to the color of the sidewalk brick.

Currently tickets show on sale via phone only - is this how they normally handle initial sales? Considering we may add a September trip looks like I can finally check out MNSSHP - and maybe I'll sneak a December weekend one in before my AP expires

I recall buying my tickets early on last year and did it online. I can’t remember if I did it the first day of sales or not... but knowing me I probably did...

Not sure - which makes me wonder even more if they "rushed" this out a bit to give something else for people to talk about beyond the parking fees

Also wondering if there is any info on AP discounts

yeah, I need to call and find out some more details on those discounts and pricing for different dates. Someone just posted on Facebook that they called (I guess for DVC discounts) and were told: "I just called DVC and they told me there are no discounts available after October 23rd and the price this year is $131.13 for anyone over age 9 and $127.80 for anyone under" (not sure what specific date she was looking for though)

My memory may be failing me but this looks exactly like I recall when it was the Catwalk Lounge except for the door at the top.

Some dates had no discounts. We went in early October on a Friday. No discount but there should be discounts for the earlier parties.

That is what I am hoping for (and the one I am targeting is on a Tuesday). Now I have to figure out if I can even get the AP discounts as I have purchased my AP but haven't activated it yet as I want to wait until we are there in August to get the most use out of it

I know we’ve discussed that non binding shareholder vote, but I couldn’t recall whether we had this total estimate.

Disney’s Live-Action Lady and the Tramp Remake Gets a Director

This is one of the remake's I think I missed. I don't recall reading that Lady & The Tramp was being remade as a live action film.

Does Disney have all of the animated films slated for a live-action remake?

Once they remake all of them, Disney could go back and remake them a 3rd time - from hand-drawn animation to computer animation.

This was the first announcement and it’s going to be for the streaming site.

Yes, typically when the party dates are announced, the tickets are only available by phone. Within a few days, they should be available for purchase online.

Also wondering if there is any info on AP discounts

Several people are reporting on this thread that they were able to purchase tickets for some dates with an AP discount:
