The Cosmic Rewind building is actually a throwback to a much earlier design concept for EPCOT's Futureland. It's almost identical and is very cool they finally got to implement it 40 years later.

So Disney can keep adding DVC rooms but not another resort that normal people can afford. When Universal can have two hotels that charge under $100 a night and the All-Stars are well over that at the same time, you know Disney is trying to squeeze out the little guy.

$33 for a drink? That’s insane. I could buy an entire meal and cocktail for that in the outside world. With everything going on these days, this just seems out of touch with reality.

Thank you for all the work you do to let everyone know what's going on in Disney ☺️

Very sad to hear that Spirit of Aloha is closed forever - I never did get to see it and was hoping it would reopen when I finally visit again in September (both times I visited before in 2010 and 2014 we saw the Hoop de Doo Revue instead).

I seriously just shed a tear hearing that the Dapper Dan's are back on main street. They are so talented and amazing. Can't wait to see them next month!

VERY good news on the TumbleMonkeys! Really missed them in December.

@ 2:01 Why are the test dummies looking like me at my job by the time Thursday rolls around each week?

I'm glad that I came across your videos. I'm planning on going to Disney World next week for the first time and I'm glad that I've been binge watching your videos to know what to expect. I'm sure I'll have fun, but I thought that I would say thank you for you and your friends' help! :)

I will forever miss the Spirt of Aloha

You know I was honestly looking forward to TRON. Too bad they had to delay it.
We have no idea how much we are going to have to pay for TRON, but however much it costs it's too much.
They need to go back to pre Genie.

I definitely heard Squirrels on the Water at first. Swirls on the Water makes more sense 😂

I love that I can count on you all for the latest updates. You guys are the best. Thank you so much!

I got a little nervous when you said there would be “mega closures” but only saw Poly stuff closures. Not horrible. Thank you for this update, so excited for the return of the tumble monkeys.

[Mark_Gibson]

Thanks for the great update as usual AJ! Sad to hear Disney stooping to new lows by cancelling Spirit of Aloha and replacing it with a bland DVC building that in no way fits in with the Poly 😔 However, it’s great that the tumble monkeys will finally be returning 🤩

Just visited this last week. Had a great time even though the crowds were outrageous and the big rides were hard to snag for a lightening lane. I hate that Disney is charging for popular rides.

[aimeerogers]

You are always in my top you tube videos to look for.

Just booked the family two days ago for this week Monday thru Friday. Finally we return after 2 years. Thank you for the Info.

FYI… Iknow this isn’t a Disney Hotel but we have universal studio annual passes and we always stay at Drury Inn which is closer to Universal Studios but this year they are opening one near Disney. Even though it’s not a Disney resort it’s a great alternative place to stay if you wanted a more affordable stay. The beds are super comfy, they have pool, hot tub, full free breakfast, full free dinner, 3 free drinks at dinner, and are pet friendly ( without the pet smell). We always stay at this hotel if the city we are visiting has it. They have rooms from 1 king to suites sleeping 6 with two rooms. They offer discounts for military, federal, and other. They also have transportation to the parks as well. For a family trying to save money on food it’s a great option.
