Does any one have any idea if they'll add extra Magic Hours to HS for September? In my quick scan it looks like MMH are for every day at HS for all of July and August. I know it's likely just speculation, but did they do this for Pandora as well. We'll be there Sept 11-22.

I don’t think I would count on it since wait times are no where near Pandora’s, but you never know
 
For those who ate at woodys lunchbox what did you like the most?

I thought the s’mores looked amazing but several reports say it’s no good.

I can second the reports. It sounded delicious, but the bread tasted like a soggy graham cracker and the s’mores filling didnt cover the whole interior of the bread. I didn’t finish mine this am. I am also hesitant to try other items.

I also ate around 7:15am when there was minimal sun/heat. I could not imagine fighting for a space to sit in that tiny space in direct sunlight and get that meal haha. The CMs were wonderful tho. Very happy and pleasant.

Staying at the Swan, and heading to TSL at RD for EMH on the 15th. (YAY!!!) I couldn't get a FP for SDD, so plan on heading straight to that.
I'll be solo in the morning, what is my best bet on grabbing something quick to eat on my way out the door to HS? There doesn't seem to be a lot of breakfast options in the Swan/Dolphin. Also, am I better off walking to get there early or waiting for the water taxi?
And if I do get there really early, are there restroom facilities outside of the park, or should I skip that morning coffee until I'm in ;)

I would say walking if definitely the way to go! I left by 5:15am for the 6am opening. I made the walk from my YC room door to security in about 22 minutes. There were no boats running at this time. I saw resort busses so YC/BC may have had one running, but I purposely stayed at YC so I could walk. I also counted 7 runners and there were Disney CM prepping areas for the day so it was not too eerie.

I ate at Woodys Lunchbox, but if I did it again, I would run into Starbucks.
 
Slinky Dog Dash is showing temporarily closed in my MDE wait times. Is it really closed or is this a glitch?

It was running at about 8 p.m. tonite; the last standby time I saw was 85 minutes.

Disney IT has been having major problems, since this afternoon, including at the parks.

Could be raining. It’s an outdoor coaster so it closes in the rain.

So- I was here and it was crazy!! ALL of the lights in TSL went off, all the music, Slinky stopped, I’ve never seen anything like it. They had to escort the people off the ride and then it took them about an hour, maybe a little more, to get him working again.

What time did this happen? Everything was fine, when I left at about 8:45.
That sounds terrible! Having just been on the ride, I can't possibly imagine how they would get people off, if stuck at certain points.

They started kicking people out of line around 8:15ish-maybe you just didn’t notice? For a while it looked like we’d be able to wait it out in line and then they had everyone leave. My husband and I went to eat dinner at Woody’s Lunchbox and then kind of hovered by SDD line just in case they got it fixed- and they did! Loved my second ride more than the first!

I was on the ride with a FP at about 7:45 and probably walked out of TSL just before it happened - it was not yet dark. I went in the single rider line, so I did not have to wait. I said to someone earlier that it was my lucky day; guess that's true!

I left the park at about 8:45, and everything else was okay.

There is no single rider for SDD. You were probably placed on the “odd” sign of the line since they split groups based on “even” or “odd.”

In other news...First evening EMH is absolutely insane. I’ll report back when I leave with official wait times that I waited.

You’re not kidding! It’s bonkers crowded. I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything different! We didn’t try for a third ride on SDD- the line stretched out sooooooooo far back I think because they were scanning everyone’s bands.
 
OK...1st TSL Evening EMH report..

Got in line for SDD 10 minutes before the park closed. CM's closed the stand-by queue for SDD at some point to regular day guests before EMH started, but the EMH queue for SDD was all the way to TSM when I got in line (the queue started outside the queue until EMH started). There was no posted wait time when I got in the official line for SDD. I was in the "outdoor" portion of the queue though.

From 10:30 p.m, it took me 42 minutes to get on the ride.

It is also important to note that Disney was letting people in the fastpass queue for some reason during EMH. People think this is due to the system power outage earlier, but everyone still had time once the system came back up to use their fastpasses. It wasn't a lot of people, but definitely enough to add 5-10 minutes of waiting.

I would then walk to AS2 and TSM to notice that both of those times said 45 minutes. I was honestly way to exhausted to even think about waiting in those lines. So, I left. I'm assuming they weren't quite 45 minutes, but that is what the posted times were.

If you have any plans to go to evening EMH for Toy Story Land, I highly advise skipping it. Unless things die down, it will be a lot better for you to just get in line 5 minutes before park closing. 4 days ago (non-EMH night), I got in line 5 minutes before park closing with a posted 145 minute wait time. I waited 20 minutes.
 
I attempted HS for on EMH tonight as well. Between the Disney IT outage, SDD shutdown, and rain I just decided to leave. I caught Fantasmic! and headed to my bus. I will just have to attempt TSL at night on another trip.

I will note TSM has also been down an awful lot. It was down all am Thursday and I lost a FP+, and it was down tonight for a majority of the time I was in HS. It came back up before SDD, but I don’t remember it being down as much as I have seen in the last 24 hours. I also don’t like the new internal queue. The theming is cute, but the wrapping around and move of the exit and integration of the accessible ramp just threw me off. Maybe I’m just used to the old style, but it confused me. Haha

I thought it was single rider line, due to the fact that I was the only one there and walked right on. Everyone else was in the left-sided lane. I guess I was the only odd one there. :)
 
FP day was marginally successful. I got Saucers at night, when I had hoped for Slinky. Slinky for 12:45 on my departure day, which I likely won’t be able to keep unless I can bump it earlier.

I’m now even more hopeful DHS hours will be extended in September or that they’ll finally announce the passholder dates.

I’m also fairly determined to do Slinky at night, although I had planned to leave DHS before close to make it to Homecomin. Hopefully standby isn’t too crazy. Or I can switch my saucers FP.
