Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

[Garyjames220]

You would have to become a D23 gold member, which costs money. I don't know how soon they are going to send out the emails though. The announcement said "later this week" for more news. I don't know how long it would take for you to be part of that list if you joined ASAP. Maybe it would just work right.

Had a look on the website and says it’s 129 for two

When I won’t be in Disney for many years after this, it might be worth it

I might 2 chances to get a ride now. Probably won't get to actually ride twice, but I have more chances of even booking it now. Assuming, it's during my May stay.

Well, it seems as though every new-attraction preview setup has been different, but when Pandora was opening, we were able to book an AP preview one evening followed by a DVC preview the next morning. So maybe you'll get lucky, too!

I tried to put in a different country as I’m from the UK and not USA and never worked. Can any one join this d23 gold club

I thought so, but I don't know for sure. I don't think I know anyone from out of the country that is a D23 gold member. I know that they send a gift every year and a magazine every quarter. They may not want to send that to the UK. Sorry. You could always try to join Club 33 Not sure that price would be worth a preview ride though.

That would be great. However, I would just be happy with even being able to get 1 preview ride.

I dunno to each their own but i don’t think it’s worth as much a park ticket to ride a 5 minute ride. No matter what enjoy!

I got my email but I’m studying for tests! Darn!

As an out-of-towner, I would consider doing that for sure. Could be a memorable vacation experience!
And knowing myself, it'd probably help further delay the desire for another trip. So I'd look at it as a possible money saver.

I can't help but think we're going to get an Encanto attraction announcement at D23. Remember in 2014, they had lots of Frozen pop-up events throughout 2014 (like the Frozen Days at Hollywood Studios that led to Frozen Sing-Along and an ice rink), before they announced Frozen Ever After would be replacing Maelstrom. Pure speculation at the moment but definite signs towards an Encanto attraction

Have there been any articles speculating what/where? Maybe something in Animal Kingdom? A South America section where Dinoland is could be awesome

Not that I've seen, only Lin Manuel Miranda and Josh Gad claiming they've been campaigning for an Encanto attraction. The only places it could possible be would be in AK replacing Primeval Whirl or adding a Columbia pavilion in Epcot (maybe between Germany and China as they built Harmonius behind that section), but pure speculation

Good Morning Everyone!

Concept art for new restaurant in Disneyland Paris

In the Disneyland Paris AP holders Facebook Group, Disney has posted new concept art for a restaurant, and the announcement that they have started with the work on building the new Frozen area.

And they reposted the concept art for Arendelle

I feel that pain, I suspect I'm going to miss the AP previews by about a week as I am only there for the first couple of days of May.

You never know, though!

I remember when I went to Tokyo it was Easter season and they were running Hippity Hoppity Springtime, which was also pretty odd but fun. I still listen to the soundtrack in the springtime.

I’m holding out hope for October as well!!!
