I still wish I could get a beer at Gaston's Tavern!

Give it a few more years...

A bar name associated with a family movie seems like a very questionable choice.

Another questionable choice in associating alcohol and family movies.

obviously personal decisions, but we take our family to breweries and wineries all the time ... many of them have become incredible family friendly with games to play, etc. so I don't really see the issue

"Family" should mean the entire family - and BatB is aimed at everyone not just kids

Now if it was like themed to Disney Jr shows or something, that would seem a bit off ... like the Sophia the 1st Tequila Shots or something

Though I could use some of that if I have to watch that show...

[only hope]

A bar name associated with a family movie seems like a very questionable choice.

But Beauty and the Beast (and every major Disney movie) isn’t just for families/kids. Adults without children like it too. And those of us who were babies/toddlers/kids when it came our are well past 21 now and not all of us have or even want kids. I don’t think it fits theme-wise into an old grand Florida themed resort though. But Disney doesn’t seem to care much about maintaining a locations theme nowadays.

obviously not a ton of details out yet, but I could see some people being really into the concept of running through the Wizarding World and other areas at Universal

 

[HuskieJohn]

Club 33 magic bands seem like a bad idea to the pessimistic side of me. Find one of those lying on the ground, then you know to use it to get in the club. Good thing you need a pin for purchases at least.
You'd have to play it cool when you get inside and just ask for a glass of water.

That is cool to have at home but not the sort of attention I would want draw to myself or my family at a park. I couldn't imagine the number of comments, questions about what its like and people asking to let them in.

I would suspect many people would feel like you ... BUT other people love all that sort of attention and would wear these just for that reason

Ok but
My issue in general with Universal is a lot of the areas have serious bottleneck issues, especially Islands of Adventure. Studios I think could handle it but yeah I don't handle crowds at Universal as well as I do WDW

yeah, that is a fair point - also seems like some areas that are more you go in and then have to backtrack which isn't ideal for a race event. And not like you could go into one part of WWOHP and take the Hogwarts Express to the other to keep going

Please, this will ONLY be held at Volcano bay, where you run in place in the wave pool for resistance running....Get a tan, keep cool, and run in the pool!

Or am I?????

and if you fall over, no medal for you

also, a 3-park ticket will be required to participate ... and express pass unless you want to wait 2 hours before getting to run

Putting this in some perspective, most people outside of boards like this would have no idea what those bands even refer to!

also a very valid point

Hollywood does this already and its proven really popular. They did Minions already and are doing Jurassic Park in November out there.

 

[Anthony Vito]

Putting this in some perspective, most people outside of boards like this would have no idea what those bands even refer to!

And more importantly, Cast Members will most likely know what the bands mean. So if someone is asking for help or has an issue, it can be a more subtle way of letting the CM know that the person is someone (putting aside whether it should or shouldn't be the case - but it is the reality) that may perhaps get a little extra attention or consideration - without the person having to say, "I'm a Club 33 member . . ."

 

[Firebird060]

you think that Disney doesnt know when club 33 members are in the parks. Those Magic Bands give Disney alot of information. It doesnt have to say CLub 33 on it for Disney to be able to track a member through the park.

Or a DVC member, AP holder, etc., etc.
