Thanks for the heads up! I was able to switch my Epcot/DHS adrs for Sun/Mon.
Thanks Josh for the Jack update. I so wish we could attend. My daughter LOVES Jack. I wish they had more photo ops during year. They could at least do some during the Halloween season. They are popular enough to be on tons of merchandise year round and are extremly popular with the teens. Hello Disney, not all kids are into princess and pirates.
Epcot’s 30th is on the 1st October just in case anyone is confused.
