Weird. The crowd calendar predictions on touringplans.com has dropped every day we’re going to be there, except the second week BEFORE StarWarsland opens has MGM spiking really high. Maybe the site has the opening day wrong.

Close
enough to see closures. No Marty for us,
“Oh Canada” closed from August first to late 2019. Primeval Whirl closed on June 15 and will
open “late summer.” We may catch it.
Anabelle-
“Oh Canada”? More like “No Canada” 😝
At
least we might catch the teacup coaster!
[Later Edit...nope.]

I
was going to send out the “Fifty Days Left” email, but Anabelle beat me to it:
“FIFTY
DAYS LEFT!!!!!!!” With celebration emojis I can’t reproduce and a picture of
the small world clock!
That’s
my girl!

Another
advantage of missing StarWarsland: MGM FastPass Tiers will reset when
it opens putting Rock and Roller Coaster and Terror O’ Tower into tier
one along with the three Toy Story Land rides. This starts when we leave,
and means those people can only pick one of those five per day. With
no FastPasses for the new Star Wars ride, and reservations needed to get into
the new land itself, I am very happy with the schedule we have.

It's
a miracle!!! Anabelle and I did the
final pass through the Disney Pictures from three years ago. Rosa finally went
through them a while ago for her sections. We now have a small enough number to
order and put in an album before we go again! Yay!

Disney
Buses now have the Sensational Six on the sides, cool!
Yup,
the First Order March ends today. But
they’re being redeployed to Bantu. I
wonder how long before Star Wars Launch Bay shuts down?

Aurora
joins in sending a Disney Celebration email
“40
DAYS TILL DISNEY! “ (line of non-translating emojis)
Close
enough. She’s probably using a countdown clock so the main number went to 40.
Based
on Anabelle’s reply, I think the emojis had to do with a HIDDEN COWBOY in the smiley
faces.
The
"Liberty Inn" burger and hot dog place in America in EPCOT is closing
to be replaced by the Regal Eagle Smokehouse barbecue place. EPCOT may finally
get ribs! Sadly, I doubt they'll get the new place open in a month and a
week, but we can hope.
Grandma-
That’s great and makes much more sense. Now we have another reason to go back
in 3 or 4 years.

The
Build a Band website comes back, partially and briefly. Only a few designs are there,
Kim grabbed some but most sold out while she was looking at them.

Some
more MagicBands appear at 5am, I tell the family, they pick new ones. By 9am,
those are gone, but other new ones show up. I go to order, those are gone too. Some
old ones come back, but none can be ordered. Then they seem to work, but don't, and Anabelle’s regular band disappears leading to a twenty minute call to fix
it. This system sucks.
Not
only that but the Tomorrowland sign disappeared!
And
the ribs at Tortuga Tavern…it’s an epidemic I tells ya.
Grandma:
I can live with the ribs being gone but the Tomorrowland sign is breaking my
heart. Maybe it’ll be back by the time we go.
I
can only pray. OXZ
They're
probably just cleaning it.
It’s
too early to change the name to something digital based, the Tron and Wreck it
Ralph things aren’t open yet.
[Later edit, it was a new streamlined sign.]

MagicBands are still a mess, even at Four A.M. (Sleep is for the weak, might as well practice
overdoing it for the trip.)
A rabies
warning is issued based on a feral cat around EPCOT.
No wonder they built Animal Kingdom so far away.
On
the positive side, WE HAVE DISNEY PICTURES FROM THE LAST TRIP! It only took 970 days. That must be some kind
of record…not the good kind.

A
trip to the Bronx Zoo’s children’s zoo opens Anabelle first interaction with the
farm animal section now that she wasn’t terrified to touch and feed the animals like when she was little.
She bonds with a goat! Does this mean
we’ll finally go to Rafiki’s Planet watch?
(No.)

After
insane amounts of stress a Minnie Magic Band Anabelle hadn’t seen showed up on
an old browser…and still wouldn’t load.
Rosa loaded it on the other computer…and wasn’t able to pick anything
for her or me…
BUT
MINNIE WORKED. WOO HOO! No more waking
up at 3AM every night to check magic bands!!!!!
And
the weird “extra me” has vanished without deleting our reservation!!! YAY!
Bonus
hour! Animal Kingdom stays open till 9:30 the first night we’re at that park.
YAY!

After
nine hundred and seventy three days, thanx to the tireless efforts of Anabelle
sorting them and putting them in the binders Rosa found, we have Disney Photo
Albums!!!!
