I don’t post links to all of these (since I probably could), but this one really made me feel good about how the Magic Kingdom is looking recently.

Closures at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to support the DVC expansion to begin in October

I wonder if this is why the Wilderness Lodge rates stayed so even this year.

What I Wish I Knew Before My Disney Cruise

This post by Savannah Sanders contains a number of the reasons I will (probably) never go on a cruise. Small pools, waits for elevators, etc… I don’t want to deal with that on my vacation.

Phew. I would be really bummed if Elyssa and I didn’t get to run through those during the Wine & Dine.

A Possible 2017 Mighty Men of Mouse Listener Community Disney World Vacation

tl;dr – Fill out this survey if you’re interested in such a vacation: [https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LJT752](https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LJT752)

Anyone who has started following me over the past year knows that I am a meticulous planner, who also has a habit of dreaming amount outrageous ideas that I then try to pull off. Some of these ideas work better than others. I am hoping that this is one of the ones that works.

Over the past year, a number of listeners to the [Mighty Men of Mouse podcast](http://mightymenofmouse.com) have become pretty close “online friends.” We’ve chatted with each other, joked with each other, and even supported each other (if that was ever necessary.) In fact, some in the community have even managed to catch up in person for various meet-ups, on vacations, etc…

So, my latest “big idea” is the following: **What if we planned a Mighty Men of Mouse listener community vacation at Walt Disney World in 2017?** Honestly, I have no idea if there is any interest in something like this (relatedly, I have no idea if something like this is even feasible.) Therefore, my first step was to create the following survey [https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LJT752](https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LJT752) so people could let me know if they are interested in such an event (as well as when they might be available for such an event to take place.) If it turns out that (1) there is interest, and (2) there seems to be a time of the year where the interested people might be able to go, I’ll contact my Disney travel agent and start to see how we might be able to get a group rate, etc… If there’s not enough interest, well, I’ll put it on my ever growing list of failed experiments.

Again, please feel out the following survey if you’re interested: [https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LJT752](https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LJT752). There’s also a box at the bottom where you can leave additional comments, or you can hit me up on twitter at [@kivus](http://twitter.com/kivus).

Selfie Sticks To Be Completely Banned from Walt Disney World Theme Parks, Not Just On Theme Park Attractions

Not surprising. This doesn’t really effect me at all, unless they start claiming tripods are “selfie-sticks.”

Possible May 2016 Opening for new Frozen Attraction in Epcot

Unfortunately, if Disney is estimating May 2016 as of today, I would assume we wouldn’t see this attraction open until at least the fall.
