Return of the followup with a discussion about the mysterious removal of all the Hocus Pocus merchandise from this year’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party.
Brad brings back the Minnie van followup after seeing a picture from bioreconstruct on Twitter of the handicap-accessible Minnie van. Thanks to the magic of the internet, we were able to quickly pull a little more info on these vans via a chipandco article! (h/t to Rachel from Behind the Magic for pointing out that was a handicap accessible van)
The slinky dog coaster vehicle has arrived at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney created a video to celebrate the arrival. Why discuss a short video of a coaster vehicle? Because everyone love cute viral marketing of course!
Disney is continuing to expand the reach of mobile ordering. While Jeremy passed over this news item initially, Brad attempts to help him see the importance of being able to mobile order a Dole Whip.
Disney is bringing a new VIP tour to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Among other things, the tour includes fastpass entrance for all the major attractions in the parks. Is this the beginning of paid fastpasses or simply another tour?

There was no followup and there was much rejoicing!
It is rumored that the all-star resorts may be getting a table service restaurant. We discuss how successful we think putting table service there would be and what they might serve.
The trams at Animal Kingdom have a new paint job. Is the new design better? Will this be coming to more of the trams and/or could it be indicative of a new style for all transportation?

Minnie van service has been extended to the Wilderness Lodge. What resorts can we expect to see added next and how might this service change in the future?
Disney has released more information about Grand Avenue. We discuss what this new land means for Muppets and how the heck it fits in with the rest of DHS.
Disney has ended their Express Bus service experiment. How did it go on for so long and what does that mean for the future of transportation at WDW?
A new magicband is being released for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party that glows in the dark and comes in a box that smells like chocolate. We somehow end up more entranced with the new Hocus Pocus magicband though.

The Festival of Fantasy parade is being moved to 2pm for the remainder of the year. What time is the 3 o’clock parade? 2pm!
