You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.
Changing over Wetzel’s Pretzels to a Starbucks is a good upgrade in my book.
Touring Plan’s MagicBand FAQ
This is the most comprehensive rundown of things currently known about the new Magicbands that I have seen.
I am, unsurprisingly, a Buzz.
The new villains section is pretty cool, but not so over-the-top amazing that I’m *more* bummed that I will not be at The World until November.
I am really bummed I am not going to be down at The World to see this.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: Though I imagine there will be a Youtube version of it by the middle of next week.
Explaining Disney’s Pin Code
This is a good explanation of what Disney “pin codes” are.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: In case you’ve heard the term on a podcast but did not know what it meant.
Cool new show from the [Touring Plans Podcast Network](http://podcast.touringplans.com) that puts a Disney-spin on the PTI formula.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: And yes, I know ESPN is a Disney company.
I wish that this was going to be a regular show at The Studios, especially for the nights there is not a Fantasmic! show.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: Of course, with the Osborne Family lights showing in November and December, there probably not a need for a show during those months.
Carol Stein is a Disney Treasure
I am glad that people are re-discovering how amazing Ms. Stein is. I have so many memories great memories from her at the Comedy Warehouse.
This review is well-timed, since Flying Fish is one of the restaurants that is on the cut-line for the honeymoon. After reading it, I would say that Flying Fish’s chances of being a honeymoon meal have increased.
In case you’re like me, and try to listen to everything that Jim Hill is on.
Felicia and Sean will be writing a column for couples going to The World[^fn2]. Here is their background:
> Well, besides the fact that WDW rocks, it’s also played a tremendous role in every milestone of our relationship: Our first vacation as a couple was to WDW; we got engaged in WDW; and we celebrated our honeymoon in WDW
Now, that sounds familiar.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: Well, I guess still have a few months until I get so celebrate my honeymoon there.
[^fn2]: A column which I am, obviously, excited about.
See everyone online at 6am on August 26th.
An interesting take by Ricky Brigante over at *Inside the Magic* on the lack of major theme park announcements at D23. I still would have preferred Disney to have made a major announcement about a Star Wars land, but Brigante’s article makes me feel better.
It looks like “Festival of Fantasy” parade might be ready by the time Elyssa and I are down there for our honeymoon.
