Surely this will move back over to Disneyland right? Or resume it after the holidays. I just can't imagine them ending this parade.

It won't move during the holidays. Possibly after though.

I personally don't see them moving it back to Disneyland because they need to draw more people over to DCA as much as they can when Galaxy Edge opens up.

And it sounds like Peter Pan has been removed, which sucks since the new additions ( Liitle Mermaid, Teacups, IASW) usually have very short queues anyway.

Peter Pan was never part of it - which makes no sense . If PP was open for the event, it may actually make it worth it.

From the Walt Disney World website:

"
Early Morning Magic
Through November 27, 2018, delight in a trio of Fantasyland attractions with this limited-entry, early access opportunity!

The Fun
Rise with the sun for some early-morning fun with these 3 iconic Fantasyland attractions:

• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
• Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
• Peter Pan’s Flight!"

Peter Pan has always been open for this event. I would be surprised if they actually removed it.

Didn’t the price increase as well?

Looks like they are trying to show the value of the increase by giving you a spin on the tea cups?

Possibly also to raise capacity of the event. Because we all know that little mermaid can get up to 15 mins some days...

Also from the site, it does still include Peter Pan in the list of EMM rides for the "Newly Expanded Early Morning Magic" beginning December 2 (although with several unavailable dates through Jan/Feb).

Ugh. That would be awful. We've done this many times, and this certainly makes it less likely. Usually we ride Pooh once, PP a few times, then it's ALL 7DMT. We have ZERO interest in the ones they've added to replace PP -- we ride those without lines all the time. Ugh.

ETA: But I just saw PP that WDW website still includes PP. If that's the case, we'd be all good. Though it's not worth more money to us to add these other attractions...

"The Fun
Greet the day the early-morning-fun way with these 7 iconic Fantasyland attractions:

• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
• Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
• Peter Pan’s Flight!*
• Princess Fairytale Hall
• “it’s a small world”
• Mad Tea Party
• Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid

*Not available January 8, January 15, January 22, January 29, February 3 or February 5, 2019"

Yes went up $10 to match the DHS event.

 

[scrappinginontario]

I wonder if PP will be going down for refurbishment in Jan and Feb as it's a very specific block of dates in the middle that it appears not to be included?

 

[dlavender]

Will be interesting to see if they start selling more tickets to this event now hoping the additional rides are enough to spread it out and make it still worth it to those who like it.

But they have to know everyone is there for 7DMT, right?

Yep, I am thinking this opens it up for more capacity.

Hey, everyone! This is me resubscribing to this thread!

I’ve been gone for about a year now after horribly breaking my ankle and requiring emergency surgery. I had to be off work for 2 months and couldn’t put any pressure on that ankle for those 2 months. It was super depressing and just sent me into a really sad place. Good news, I’m almost 100% back to normal now and am super excited to get back into this and chatting with you all!

Disney/Fox to sell their stake in SKY to Comcast for $15bn

https://twitter.com/TheDIS/status/1044972227098267649

That came out faster than I expected but if Comcast will pay $15bn for it then it makes sense

 

[iamfathom]

They are also changing the breakfast from Pinocchios to Cosmic Rays. Is Cosmic Rays larger by any chance?

We have done this twice now the first was 2 years ago and the second was last month and it already felt busier than it did that first time.

Considering most people want to do this for SDMT if there is an increase in capacity it just means there will be a longer queue for that ride, making the event less appealing.
