News Round Up 2017

Oh my god, are they thinking of phasing out ExpressPass at Universal? I hated that! Cedar Point did the same dang thing and it's an extra, like, $100 for one for just one day! Ridiculous! I always have had season passes for CP and there wasn't even any type of discount!

Right now it's in testing. They will for sure be using at Jimmy Fallon and at Volcano Bay.

Potential news

Saw something about the Pixar universe theories being confirmed by Disney. Any truth or confirmation on this?

This is news? All of these Easter eggs have been known for years. I'm surprised this is on a national news site as news. I saw the videos here released earlier this week. I just thought Disney put together a video to show all of the Easter eggs not to confirm the movies are connected.

I saw multiple sites reporting this with a headlines saying Disney confirmed that all movies in the Pixar universe are connected, which I thought was very misleading. Disney released a "cute" video, I believe on the Toy Story Facebook page, showing many of the Easter eggs in the Pixar films. Like Ryan said, the Easter eggs has been known for years and in my opinion the video released is simply a "highlight reel" to show all them, like characters or objects from one movie hidden in another. I don't think there's any confirmation from Pixar about the connected universe fan theory.

A google search will get plenty of hits, but if anyone is interested, around 2013 a elaborate fan theory came out that tried to connect the stories of all the Pixar films into one universe. The very basic idea is that Boo (Monsters Inc) spent her adult life trying to find Sully, invented time travel/portals and Boo is actually the witch in Brave, disappearing from Merida by opening a time portal, continuing to search for Sully. Along the way, humans have destroyed the earth in Wall-E, giving rise to a world where autonomous, intelligent robots control the Earth in Cars. There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the very short version.

Yea this is the one I was familiar with. Despite the Easter eggs Disney didn't acknowledge any concerted connection. The comment that Disney was now acknowledging its existence was news to me.
 
As I told people when we were talking about the Frozen/Tarzan theory: studios and animators enjoy spreading legends and theories about their films for fun and to add further value to their films and brands. It's just good fun for the fans and the animators, really.

By the way, if anyone's interested, the Main Street Electrical Parade is returning tonight to Disneyland park for the first time in over 20 years after going through a very much needed rehab, and you can watch a live stream of the event in this link:

anyone hear anything about an incident at Springs/Typhoon Lagoon this evening? Sheriffs running on foot with guns drawn made me stop my car on EBV Drive as to not hit them. ~25 sheriffs cars then surrounded the entirtity of Typhoon Lagoon and sheriffs began searching the planting by the road.

No but sounds disturbing. Hopefully it's only someone being a moron causing an incident.

My bus from Disney Springs tonight was caught in all this, too. Very curious!
