Free Dining Rumor

so, did Disney release any other news this morning? Since they said to check back for other news, did they release other info instead?

Yes, there was a special announcement banner early this morning on the groundbreaking in Shanghai.

The Walt Disney Company and Shanghai Shendi Group, its joint venture partner in China, have broken ground on the Shanghai Disney Resort following approval from the Chinese central government in Beijing. Both companies marked the start of construction on the first Disney resort in mainland China at a groundbreaking ceremony held April 8, 2011.

"Today marks a significant milestone in the history of The Walt Disney Company," said Robert A. Iger, President and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. "Our Shanghai resort will be a world-class family vacation destination that combines classic Disney characters and storytelling with the uniqueness and beauty of China. Working with our Chinese partners, the Shanghai Disney Resort will be both authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese."Nanc

Wasn't that announced yesterday on their blog, to the public?
Are we sure that is it? :/

The Shanghai announcement/full press release regarding the groundbreaking is the lead story on Disney's press site. It is dated today, April 8.

It's also recently been posted in our News forum.

I've experienced time and time again Magical Journey's incredible speed of updating their client files when specials are released, and I promise you that if a Free Dining offer was announced, there would be many members thanking their MJ agent for getting it done for them early this morning.

This is dated yesterday :

There also was no mandatory overtime as far as we know. It was just shift bid day for CMs.

I am so sorry about posting that. Usually this "blogger/Disney News Site" is VERY good about their information. They have posted a formal sorry on their FB page.

I was very excited about this. I truly am sorry for posting.

I agree nothing to be sorry for. It said rumor.

You're a rebel, Belster.

Seriously, don't worry about it. You generated some excitement, that's for sure!

I hope that an offer comes out soon for all who are waiting.

**Belster** · 04-08-2011, 03:10 PM

Awww...thanks guys!!! You made me feel much better.

**brivers222** · 04-08-2011, 03:52 PM

**lovinmesomedisney** · 04-08-2011, 08:23 PM

Hmmm, maybe this is why we teach our kids not to spread rumors!

Exciting things are on the horizon for The Walt Disney Company. First, you'll want to chart a course to ...... at 1 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 6, for a big announcement from Disney Cruise Line®.

Also, check back on Friday morning, April 8, for more news from Disney.

No more, no less.
