We really enjoyed the food and service at the Enchanted Rose a few weeks ago, but if my daughter hadn't pointed out the BATB pieces in the room (and from the LIVE ACTION REMAKE at that - gack) I would have had no idea of the theming.

I love the GF (in fact just stayed there two weeks ago) and don't really care one way or the other from an Imagineering standpoint on this change. What I find interesting are two things: 1. That they chose Mary Poppins Returns for their inspiration. A film that I don't see a large fanbase for...

But is it Mary Poppins Returns? Hmmm?

Requiring a park pass for extended evening hours is the most Chapek thing I have read this week. SMH.

Well they wouldn't sell me a Pirates tommy bahama shirt in my size off a mannequin in the Contemporary gift shop. My wife and I were honestly stunned! Disney refusing to make a buck...

We will be waiting at least 1 more day for the other DH to get his act together and join the fun here. In the meantime, I post this picture of a very cool but unobtainable shirt in my size. No large ANYWHERE to be seen in Disney World. Only smalls and occasionally a medium. I need this!

Placeholder for a fuller trip report coming later. We went with another family and once the other DH gets an account, we will jointly report here on our fun times. Little preview:

We greatly missed the monorail to EPCOT on our recent trip. It really made staying at a Monorail resort much less fun.

Wonder if this also means queue's now returning to normal (i.e. way fewer "outside queues") and possibly, possibly the return of pre-shows?

1983. EPCOT. Hard to describe but EPCOT at its inception had an optimism about the future that reflected the larger society. It was a special place. We really believed we would live undersea or in outer space someday. And EPCOT gave us a glimpse into that possible future.

I really REALLY hope it's running by June 16 when we are scheduled to go to EPCOT

IMHO Disney has yet to recover from the Universal launch of the Wizarding World. WW is on par or better than anything Disney had in place at that time or, frankly, since. As a Disney fan boy, it has pained me to see Disney launch a Star Wars and Marvel themed land with nothing like the reaction...

I will second Big Pine Key. Close to the pool and short walk to main building and the monorail.

are they utilizing any of the inside queue spaces yet, or still making people wait in queues outside mostly?

enjoying your trip report, we are headed to WDW 1 week from today!
