News Round Up 2020

Sorry I missed the updates on GF bridge.

Just wondering what the "2nd" narrow swing bridge is for?

The video clips in this really show how much larger the Dream and Fantasy are compared to the Wonder and Magic. I believe they were marketed as 50 percent larger, or something along those lines if I remember correctly, but I've never been able to see the difference in size until now.
 


I think Disney should take all the lights from The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights (they still have them right?) and create some sort of drive through thing. Sell tickets for $50/car and donate to some worthy cause.

I see replies that say that WDW does not have the lights any longer and that they've been given back to the Osborne family. However, I also read that the lights being used at the Give Kids The World "Night of a Million Lights" fundraiser (it looks fantastic, wish I were closer!) were donated by WDW. Is it possible that this is where the lights are now?

No, the Osborne lights were never owned by Disney, so when they stopped using them they definitely returned them. Disney has millions upon millions of other lights in their holiday warehouse, so the donated lights could have been any lights, or Disney could have just bought a ton of lights to donate to them.

And to add many of the Osborne lights were replaced on a yearly basis.
 
The Disney ships are currently docked in Brest, France
Do you know why they were all moved to France? If they were able to stayed moored, that's obviously a big advantage over anchoring or drifting like many of the other ships are doing right now.

I'm excited for this! We've always wanted to see this place in person and have talked about volunteering there once our kids are old enough to help, too. It'll be a cool thing to do on a December Disney trip with no night-time Disney things to do and well worth the cost of admission since it's 100% donation. I know one family that's stayed there and they do nothing but rave about that place! Their daughter (now in college) found out she had a rare, congenital kidney disease suddenly when she was a teen and almost died. She visited GKTW after recovering from her kidney transplant.

They moved them to France and England for dry dock repairs and renovations. Since they know they most likely won’t be sailing until mid 2021, they pushed up the dry dock schedule.

Well it looks like at least one ship went into a dry dock for a bit. Some rumors have been circulated that the ships have been retrofitted and ready for when they are able to sail.
