Thanks for the updates, Jason...wish they offered better news, though. We've yet to see Illluminations, so news of the globe being down for our trip is upsetting. As is news that the fairy meet and greet probably won't be ready for our trip, either.
BUT, at least I know ahead of time! Thanks!

So are the Disney Pals being relocated? I don't think I understand that update. I know there are *shhh* two princess rooms and only one pals room, so where are the pals going when the fairies move in?

Next Trip: May 2017 at POP...again. Unless the FP+ thing isn't worked out. Then we'll go to Dollywood. Or just stay home and look at pictures.

Thanks Jason - look forward to learning more about what will be scaled back.

Jason, thanks for the updates -- I guess I can understand Disney needing to cut back on a few things, but wow, they're sure doing a lot... and then raising the prices of some of the remaining stuff, as well... ... I sure hope they don't cut back on too many more things -- I've been thankful that not too many affect us as of yet!!
Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop!

Any word on if these are permanent changes? Or, is this just a temporary thing due to lower than usual bookings for early next year? Or, is it something else?
Everybody else is thinking it, I'm just saying it. - Mr Gibbs
