A Good Fastpass+ Tip from EasyWDW

> Also as a reminder, your resort concierge can book your 4th (or 5th etc.) FP+ back at your Disney resort should you wish to take a break in between park hops.

What? Really? I wish I had known this on my last trip. This is a *huge* tip.

“Glow With The Show” Changing To “Made With Magic” at Disney Parks

I always thought the concept of “Glow with the Show” was pretty cool, but I never really saw that many people actually wearing them. I wonder if these new items will be more popular.

Frozen is coming to Epcot (and replacing Maelstrom)

Tom Staggs just made the announcement:

> So I’m pleased to say that we’re starting construction at Walt Disney World Resort on a brand new “Frozen” attraction at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. The new attraction, which replaces Maelstrom, will take our guests to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favorite moments and music from the film. The pavilion will also include a royal greeting location where Anna and Elsa can meet our guests. We think these “Frozen” elements are great compliments to the Norway Pavilion, which showcases the country and region that inspired the film.

Personally, I am in favor of this change. Yes, I will miss Maelstrom, but I think switching to a Frozen-themed ride is the right way to go.

Tom Corless says Villains’ Sinister Soiree is “Well Worth $99.”

This one perplexes me. I understand why Tom sees value in the $100 per person event, however, I simply feel that $100 for the experiences in his review is really, really high. It will be interesting to see if a consensus forms around this “soiree” as time goes on.

Review of the Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy & His Pals at Four Seasons Resort Orlando

Mickey looks adorable in his little sweater vest. Of course, I am not sure I am ever going to want to spend $750 a night for a room at this hotel.
