Watching a DL livestream. They let folks into the park early, but nothing was open. According to MrCheezyPop's insta story, Boarding Groups were gone at 8:03AM. The live steam folks are at the entrance to ROTR, but evidently ride isn't operating yet as of 8:25 California time.

I think you mean 8:25.

Yep, totally. I'm in GA and looked at the clock then added California time like a dunce. It's obvious my brain is recovering since finally sending my two with the flu back to school today! (Flu and temp free, of course).

Man, not the point of this but what a terrible coincidence, I would end up changing my name to J.R. Epstein if I had that name. At the same time...

Anyway, happy opening day to Disneyland ROTR! Curious how things play out over there.

Yeah, I heard something about a reporter with that name too and though, man I would change that in a second, even if my first name was different.

Disney IT cracks me up. I've been using the disneyworld app every day for the last month with the opening of rise of the resistance.
By mistake, I opened the disneyland app. Closed it within seconds.
Today I get a survey about using the disneyland app.

No decision on changing the TV portion yet, but if they do all those Fox jokes within Fox started programs will end up no longer being relevant for future younger viewers. All the Simpsons, and Futurama fox jokes will just be un anchored in the tv episodes they appear. I dont think its a being deal but ehh it hits at the nostalgia bone in me.

Well the Fox network will still be around so they’ll still make sense.

Just curious. I thought, 'Awesome Planet' was supposed to open today

https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-storie...or-epcots-upcoming-awesome-planet-attraction/
along with the new 'O Canada' movie and the 'Beauty and the Beast Sing-along'. I'm checking wait times on both the Disney app and Touring Plans but neither of these are displaying 'Awesome Planet.'

Did it open today or was the date posted in the article above incorrect?

Thanks!

Thanks! I was wondering if something had happened as both 'Oh Canada' and 'Beauty and the Beast' are showing wait times until next show but 'Awesome Planet' isn't even listed on either app.

Glad to hear it opened as scheduled! Looking forward to seeing that one too!
