Thank you for a great thread @Disnerd2003 This is fun. 🙂 Will Jungle Cruise still get re-designs of the upcoming movie? Will the Muppets in Liberty Square ever come back, or are they gone for good? Where does the pink path in the Epcot redesign artwork lead to? Will there be IP in the updated...

No, almost nobody spoke English, or extremely little. This was notable everywhere we went in China. Probably a little bit more English at SDL, but still very little. At one time we were at a Haagen Dazs in a large mall in Xi'an and there were two young women behind the counter. One of them asked...

Drinking fountains are not as common everywhere as they are in the US. I didn't see them anywhere else in China outside Shanghai Disneyland. It's funny you say this. I live in Florida and a few years ago we had family from Europe visiting, including two kids aged 8 and 10. Drinking fountains...

That is interesting. I just read this article about a test of electric buses in South Florida, and the BYD buses did not get as many miles between charges as estimated, due to the heavy use of air conditioning. In China it can get pretty hot too ... but maybe they don't run the air conditioning...

Orlando Sentinel article today about vegan food at WDW and other restaurants in the area: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/food-restaurants/os-et-orlando-mainstream-restaurants-go-vegan-plant-based-20191015-e4jjpogidbcsfhkqk7lvdz4txq-story.html

But people might balk at seeing $59.99 now, when it’s actually ‘just’ $42. In any case, it’s not nice to make people commit to a reservation without telling them the actual price. By the time you see the price at the restaurant it’s too late to cancel.

I wish the website and app would show the actual price of character meals / buffets. For instance Tusker House currently says “$35 to $59.99 per adult”, which I believe depends on the season. That’s a large range. Could be $100 more or less for a group of four. The only times I’ve called the...

I don't mind there being alcohol in the parks, but I am tired of the groups of people at Epcot with matching drinking / drunk t-shirts, like that's all they're there for.

Conclusion We had a great time at SDL and loved everything about the park. The theming is beautiful and there are a lot of great attractions and shows, with Pirates topping the list. Our biggest disappointment was the lack of vegetarian food. There are a LOT of food options in the park. Mickey...

Zootopia Construction Wall & Merchandise Between the Winnie the Pooh ride and the rocks of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was a construction wall for the upcoming Zootopia land. It was nicely themed with 3 different sized doors: Where SDL lacked in ride and park-specific merchandise, it made up...

Drinking Fountains with Bottle Fillers There were drinking fountains throughout the park, which was actually pretty special as tap water is not drinkable in China, so Disney filters it to make it potable. But what was great about the drinking fountains at SDL is that almost all of them had...

Magic Passport They sell a Passport that you can use to get stamps at 15 machines around the park. The passport is available in Chinese and English. It is a fun idea, but unfortunately 10 of the 15 machines did not work. This was never obvious as on each broken machine the screen was on and no...

Mickey Avenue SDL does not have a traditional Main Street U.S.A., but instead it has Mickey Avenue, which is a little like Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland (as the characters have shops), but with nicer theming. There were so many little details for Disney fans, it was a lot of fun to look...
