For those who strive to get the most out of the ride reservation system, this is probably true. But what will the effect be on overall park operations? With fewer people reserving spots on Tier A attractions, is it possible that overall wait times for those attractions will drop? I'm reminded...

I suspect a fifth gate would be more likely to be themed around an abstract idea, rather than a concrete thing. The theme would be something like "magic," "adventure," or "enchantment," rather than a specific place or set of characters. This, ultimately, would give Disney the greatest ability to...

A quick semantics thing that has been bugging me: "Lightning Lane" (or "LL") is the line bypass mechanism for ALL attractions included with Genie+. I have seen some folks, including the folks at BlogMickey, using "LL" only in reference to the high-demand paid attractions (like SDMT and RotR). I...

Thanks for sharing! Overall, I agree that it looks pretty good. Two LL$ attractions per park. If I had to guess, Space Mountain is a temporary stand-in for Tron, and Test Track is a temporary stand-in for Guardians.

My last time using paper FPs was in 2010 -- the system ended in 2014. My recollection is that the ONLY attraction that ran out of FPs early in the morning was Toy Story Mania. I had read reports before my trip that Soarin sometimes ran out early, but that was not my experience during my mid-July...

I feel like the paid option for high-demand attractions will be one way to combat the fact that they would run out of passes early in the day. Classic supply-and-demand economics. Higher prices means lower demand. As I recall, with the old paper FPs, the only attractions that regularly ran out...

I agree 💯. I think it could behoove Disney to have some sort of "Genie Dollars" that could be purchased ahead of time and "loaded" onto your MDE account to be used for LPs as you see fit throughout your trip. Since it sounds like LPs (and other items) will cost different amounts, they can...

So, we are thinking of throwing together a last-minute trip for May or early June. I visited the Theme Park Reservation Availability website, and it looks like there is no availability for DHS for any time in May, and all but the last week of June. Am I reading this right?

With the removal of Innoventions West, is anyone else bothered by the new lack of symmetry in Epcot's Future World? Perhaps it's just me, because I grew up with the notion of Innoventions East and West essentially being mirror images of one another. But now, in both the concept art and the...

Honestly, if the argument is that MK should be a land of "fantasy," and not "history," the entire Liberty Square section could be removed. Personally, it's one of my favorite sections of the park. I would be open to a re-imagining of the HOP attraction, but patriotic elements have always been a...

I actually think this will be greater incentive for staying on-site. There will still be a huge number of guests who will stay on-site and will take advantage of this “perk.” Any off-site guests arriving a half-hour later will find long lines already formed at all the headliners by the time they...

FYI: I discovered this week that Everything Pop has Mickey waffles with bacon and sausage all day long. :):)

UPDATE: https://blogmickey.com/2019/07/primeval-whirl-to-remain-closed-through-july-27th/

It’s July 21. Any updates? (Still not showing up on the app)

UPDATE: July 20 is now the target date. http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2019/07/primeval-whirl-downtime-extended-for.html

We will be rope-dropping BTMR on Sunday, July 21. What is the best route to get there? Through Liberty Square? Through Adventureland (utilizing one of the “cut-throughs” to Frontierland)? Something else?

Sounds like July 13, at the earliest. http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2019/06/primeval-whirl-closure-extended-again.html

Do you think the best path is through Adventureland, utilizing one of the cut-throughs (which one?); or through Liberty Square?

Update: At 9:10 today (Friday 6/28), wait times were 15 minutes for both BTMR and Splash, per MDE. (And this was on a morning EMH day at MK.) Perhaps the wait times I saw Thursday were an anomaly. I will keep watching over the next few days.
