WOWWWWWWWW (re: RoL)

 

[CastAStone]

So now AK has two less attractions and no reason to stay late? Back to being a half-day park?

My family spent 1.5 days at AK last fall and didn’t feel it was nearly enough, and we didn’t do PW or RoL. Or the wilderness explorers or several of the animal paths. Or the animation academy. Or any TS restaurant.

To each their own I suppose.

I spend at least 1.5 days at AK every trip. Usually 2. It’s my favorite park.

 

[beer dave]

I like that they have both options - it was annoying to only be able to get the small ones when you just wanted one larger beer

I thought 12 oz was the small.....

AK is our favorite. We do 2-3 days every trip.

 

[FrankieWinthrop]

Neither attraction was operating in the current climate anyways. AK likely won’t increase hours until attendance is able to increase.

Us, too! I loved ROL because it ate so many people and my 6yo DD and I could ride Everest in the dark over and over while dad and little bro chill watching the at the FP entrance right across from Everest. We'd grab all of us a FP late in the day, so they could go in there and we could join after official close. Everest at night is THE BEST ride at Disney. Your eyes are adjusted to see the yeti and it's just perfect. Her record is 7 times in a row. Wondering if we can top that next Thursday with the park so dead.

It is "a" small ... It was not "the" small at the festival

And if you jumped of Everest right after RoL ended you could often see Fireworks while riding which was cool

Oh for sure you can find plenty to do there In a day during normal times. Or a fist time visit. As frequent visitors we usually just spend the afternoon there on arrival day. (Especially with small kids - that takes some of the attractions out). Though the kids could probably spend half the afternoon in the Boneyard alone (another currently closed attraction)

I guess there must have been some mechanical issues with Whirl still. You’d think the park could use another ride with all the other things closed at AK. (The live shows)

Though if you want to ride the 7 rides there multiple times, now is the time to do it!

WOWWWWWWWW (re: RoL)

I get most people didn’t love PW. I liked it. It wasn’t my favorite but it’s way better than barnstormer or most of the spinners. And it’s not like it’s a huge operational float nor does it have a big footprint. Never made sense to close to me. I don’t get what they’ll possibly do with that small space.

And if WDWPro is accurate, this is just the beginning.

While this is Universal-esque news I thought if anyone is interested it would get more traffic here. Vera Bradley has finally released their Harry Potter collection after it seems like years after the announcement with 2 options being listed as coming soon IIRC and the rest available now.

I got myself the Coming Home to Hogwarts pattern for the triple zip hipster so now I'll have 2 Disney ones and a Harry Potter one

Also free economy ground shipping on all orders right now too!

Everything I want to say is too...political.

I like that he says things but I don’t trust him very much.

Every thing he posts is less believable than the previous.

Every thing he posts is less believable than the previous.

A few of his more recent rumors are pretty out there. He has gotten a few things correct though. Best not to believe any of it until proven or backed by Martin.
