So much was announced at D23, and a good recap is here:
http://www.laughingplace.com/w/articles ... s-resorts/

But August 13th is the last day to ride Ellen's Energy Adventure (being replaced by a Guardians of the Galaxy ride) and The Great Movie Ride (being replaced by Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway).

The reveal at D23 of the Mickey/Minnie ride (I watched it on Youtube) was one of the things I got most excited about from D23, but it failed to mention that The Great Movie Ride is closing. I'm going to miss that ride (and any hope of The Great Muppet Movie Ride). But I'm glad that Mickey and Minnie will be getting a ride.

...“The Ultimate Nights of Adventure VIP Tour,” which is a 4-hour tour of Disney’s Animal Kingdom...“expedited access via FastPass+” to Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Avatar Flight of Passage, Na’vi River Journey, Dinosaur, and Rivers of Light. The experience will additionally include a sampler at Satu’li Canteen, a specialty beverage, and with a souvenir lanyard.

...it’s another effort by Walt Disney World to monetize FastPass+. With MaxPass at Disneyland already proving successful from a guest-adoption perspective and Shanghai Disneyland’s “Disney Premier Access” (which is literally paid FastPasses) also doing well, it seems like only a matter of time until something more direct is offered at Walt Disney World.

:mickana: Dogs Welcome at Select Walt Disney World Hotels Starting Oct. 15 :mickana:
https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/ ... ng-oct-15/

There are more negative comments online on different sites & forums than positive. Disney will have designated places in the hotels where the dogs are allowed, so that should make it easier for people with allergies, or who are concerned about the barking. I am thrilled about this- I haven't stayed at too many WDW hotels, since I've lived in Central FL during most visits, but when I lived out of state, I stayed at La Quinta Inn because dogs were not allowed at WDW hotels. I think it's a great idea.

I think it makes sense actually considering most of the film takes place in a jungle setting with a focus on the animals, especially birds.
