So this past Thursday to Sunday, I was in Orlando for my bachelor party with a mixed group of theme park newbies and some of my theme park crew. It was definitely an illuminating trip, and a hell of a lot of fun. We stayed at an AirBnb, which may be my preferred method of lodging with groups...

So I wanted to make this thread to keep the Diagon Alley thread and the Fantastic Beasts movie discussion clean of this talk.
The WB CEO has confirmed there is plans to add a Fantastic Beasts attraction to WWOHP, and if that's the case we'll probably get it at Orlando first. So...what do we...
Well, I've taken the first step on heading to the theme park Mecca that is Tokyo Disneyland Resort! I just booked 4 nights for next March at the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay in the TDR resort! I know this is super early...but I'm beyond psyched!:lol:
Here's a link detailing the projects. From the sound of things, it really seems like they're looking to put the screws to Universal.
