It might be more likely they stop doing dining packages. Speaking of Animal Kingdom, enjoy these funny pictures: Click for huge.

Nah they wouldn't stop the dining packages; they're actually really really profitable and good for Disney. There was a pretty big rumor about rivers of light ending a couple months ago though, for sure. If anything it's just because they haven't finalized the schedule for animal kingdom for the fall (the park is still scheduled to close @ 7 PM). Who knows though.

Gotta defend my position on Spider-Man. I liked the ride, but the motions and effects don't feel as intense as Transformers and that made it less exciting than Transformers. Physical sets are cool though, poor girl next to me almost snapped my arm off when the dumptruck came out of the dark. Almost wrapped up second day, spending a third day at Universal rather than one limited day at Disney. A shame, but I'd rather do a full Disney vacation later than a single day in one park. Kong was good, shorter than it should have been but good. Animatroic Kong made me legit squeal with glee. Forbidden Journey is in the running for best ride. Holy poo poo. Did two ride throughs, second time it stopped for some reason on the Dementor room and someone nearly had a panic attack. Holy poo poo it was impressive. Also Cowfish was the best meal since we got here. Thanks for the recommendation thread!

My armchair imagineering would be to have Tron in Future World. Station in Innovations West and then it shoots around the Plaza before diving into a new show building. Would give Future World a makeover and a new kinetic centerpiece to add excitement. But Speedway isn't a bad place either.

It seems odd to me to have Tron and Space Mountain next to each other, especially since Tron will be hopefully a lot smoother. I would never ride it now, but I have fond memories of doing the speedway with my parents. Kids really love it, I would rather they just go electric cars.

Plan B is dig underneath the speedway for the Power Run, replace the concrete with clear glass so you can watch it whizz under. Plan Q, weirdly enough, is to bring back Kitchen Kabaret. No one's sure why that's in the file, but there it is. Source: My uncle who

Fejsze posted:First, 6 hours with no traffic, if you arrive in the LA area anytime between like 3 and 8 add in an extra hour+. I used to take off around 6am from SF to beat the traffic there, and hit LA mid afternoon. The drive isn't bad, I-5 is booooooring so bring good music/audiobooks. Can also take Hwy 1/101 down the coast and see some pretty stuff. Adds a few hours, but worth doing at least once, especially if you stop halfway and enjoy a day in Moro Bay or San Simeon. I always drove down; with check in time at airport + flight + shuttle to hotel it ended up only saving an hour or two, gas is cheaper than 2 plane tickets (even in Cali), and it's super nice to have a car to drive places while you're down there (I'd always hit up Original Pancake House once a trip) Wow, thanks! We're gonna fly and I ended up buying tickets through a program with my girlfriend's work for cheap. We're looking at hotel stuff now and I'll send her this! Also, can anyone give me a quick primer about Disneyland fastpasses? It's not through the app like at WDW? Does that make it harder to get them?

Disneyland Fast Passes are the paper passes like WDW used to have. You go up to a kiosk, insert your paper park ticket, it spits out a paper Fast Pass.

Woke up early this morning to book our fastpasses for September and managed to snag just about everything we wanted including both Avatar rides (on different days). I remember reading that flight of passage can be difficult for larger people. I'm around 5'5 240 lbs and he's 5'7 265. Will this be a problem?

Wait has no real bearing its more about body shape. I'm 5"11 and was like 280 and barely fit, but it's more because my legs are tall. You mount a stool against a wall.

I don't mind the paper system, but I do need the kiosks to be in a logical location. I was at California Adventure and never did find the Radiator Springs Racers FP kiosk. I haven't had the chance to test Maxpass.

I liked the paper fast passes when I was in a small group who didn't mind the walking and could stick to a plan. With a combination of small kids and grandparents the paper ones suck because no one can get it together to do the walk around the park to pick up all the passes.

People enjoy needing to get to the parks right at open and then running to Soarin or Toy Story so you could get a pass before they ran out? No thanks. I love FP+ and the flexibility I have to pick when I want to show up at a park and know I already have Fast pass for the top attractions.

BlueBayou posted:Omg the RSR FP kiosk is nowhere near the ride. Its crazy. Specifically, the Fastpasses are physically outside of Cars Land. Right by It's Tough To Be a Bug. To put that in perspective Florida People, imagine if paper Fastpasses for Seven Dwarves Mine Train had to be picked up outside of Casey's Corner. Apparently, the current location was only meant to be temporary. The original location of the fast passes were meant to be right next to the ride as it traditionally always had been. But the entrance to Radiator Springs Racer is a kind of dead end, where you can either go onto the ride or go back the way you came. And based on the terrible crowding Harry Potter land experienced, the opening to Cars Land was expected to be huge. And it wouldn't look great to have a literal crush of people, half of whom are trying to get fastpass and the other half on to the ride, plus add however many are trying to go the other way to leave. And with that many people, some of them are bound to wait an hour only to find they are in the wrong line. So, to alleviate the congestion of Cars Land, they pushed them further up, just off the hub, to an area that receives much less traffic. And when the crowds mellow out, they would relocate the fastpass right back by the entrance as intended. Until then, right by the entrance was a neon sign advertising 'Fastpass distribution' to an empty area used for stroller parking. However, Radiator Springs Racers popularity never really waned. It's still the first ride to run out of Fastpasses and is traditionally the longest standby line in both parks, barring unusual circumstances like the reopening of Matterhorn and Pirates or the grand opening of Mission Breakout. And Cars Land still retains massive traffic from audiences, so that lull in crowds never really came, especially in it's first summer. So the temporary location became it's permanent location, and it's original home was converted to shopping. And they had to replace the presumably costly neon sign to something else at great expense.

D23 and Comic-Con being back to back weekends is like news overflow. Saturday is the big Disney Parks presentation, anyone want to guess what announcements we're getting? Since we have a pretty good idea of what all is going to be in Star Wars Land and Pixar Land, it's likely to be lots of Epcot stuff probably.
