Is this a way to get the $80 buffets booked through “synergy”? 🤔

From what I can gather, no they have not. So we’ll see what they do! I do think it’d be cool to find a couple dogs similar to the characters for a reunion lot M&G.

Has Disney ever had a Lady and Tramp M&G before? Is it doable? Maybe Tony will be the character to meet??

My one request is that we have real doggos for Lady and the Tramp! They’d have to put them at reunion lot because everyone would be ignoring balloon ladies for pictures with them.

I would like a return to a Villains Wickedly Delicious theme with Hook, Cruella, Jafar. I would also like a return to the original Epcot, Chef Mickey, food around the world. Travel, Food. I am so nervous for the theme announcement. I am sure it'll be heavy with the IP. Let's see.

Themes to be released tomorrow. Any guesses or desires?

Getting that extra hour was always a huge plus. Was trying to figure out the theme based on the signage at the expo but no luck.

DST is the best reason to have it then. I got an extra hour of sleep when i was a runner and an extra hour of pay as a CM

I had overheard at Marathon Weekend that the decision might also have been runDisney wanting to move the event away from Daylight Savings Time. Not sure why, but it could be viable.

Halloween parties wouldn't effect the date since W&D doesn't run into MK (or anywhere near it). My guess is it had to do with spreading out crowds. They believed Halloween weekend would be incredibly busy and the next weekend would as well with Jersey week, so push it up one weekend when things aren't projected to be as bad to get people into hotel rooms.

Any guesses on the theme? Saw they had a sign at the expo but couldn’t gauge much from that.

With this years calendar in would expect the end to be the weekend of the 14th-16th.

Middle November typically is when F&W ends. I don’t believe we have official dates yet.
