What's more LOL is that rise already broke down. Gonna be interesting to see line trends last week compared to this week though

Someone on disboards said Space Mountain has plenty of LL$ availability.

Also someone confirmed, like Disneyland MaxPass, if you book a LL reservation or whatever we're calling it for more than 2 hours in the future, you can get another selection after 2 hours.

I would be PISSED if I paid $15 a head for ROR and didn't get to experience half the ride.

I actually concur with this. Hearing that the LL folks for RotR skip the preshows is sorta insane.

I've been poking around the Disney app this morning, and it pains me to admit it, but if would probably pay the 11 dollars a person they're asking right now to skip the Flight of Passage line.

Generally I would rope drop FoP, or jump in line at the end of the night, but if for some reason I couldn't do that, or I wanted to ride a second time... yeah I'd pay it. It's probably the only ride I'd pay the LL+/$ for though.

FoP is just 80 minutes right now in the middle of the day. That's not terrible, especially back in the days of old FP+ it would probably be 120+ at this point. Factor in a 20 minute buffer on that 80 minutes and I wouldn't be shocked if that wait was just an hour.

Yeah it does seem crazy there today.

Magic Kingdom isn't bad at all. Some of the wait times are up there, but there seem to be plenty of LL slots for everything. Seems totally doable to book a ride for something and then do a couple rides in the meantime.

edit: Has anyone found a way to add on G+ for existing packages?

It definitely depends on the park. Like, Animal Kingdom is weird that the other pay to ride is Everest, which typically has totally acceptable wait times. Now, you can skip rope drop, sleep in, pay to ride FOP when you get there, do all the other rides no problem.

I guess it's the usual question of "what is my time worth"

You can buy it day of or add it on to existing ticket/resort,etc package.

But you can't start doing reservations until that day.

I’m so happy I went the day I did. I got to ride Rise twice and went on FoP pretty much right away. It was a good day.

Had a ronto wrap and a rum and blue milk. So gross looking but good

I wonder who they talked to? I would think if they went to the customer service desk and talked to them they could get a refund.

Yeah that feels like a "blanket statement is no refunds so people don't back out at the last second etc. etc. but oh god give it to them if they get hosed" going wrong. They can't be stupid enough to punish people for poo poo breaking in that fashion.

Edit: Also I'm so glad I got to ride Rise a couple of times when it was new and fully functional. Seeing it either half crippled or just shut down seems sad as hell.

You shouldn't have to take time out of your vacation to stand in line at customer service for this, they should just refund you and still extend your window.

It's a bar, strike up a conversation, brag about how much coaxium you stole from the First Order (or how badly you wrecked the Falcon)

(if you are not the sort who thinks that is fun yeah probably, but we exchanged pleasantries with our neighbors and it was fine).

I was too busy yawning to make a full documentary of how bored people were, thank you. I was there it's my boring video of one kite pass with music, it's missing the other 12 passes and 3 song changes

The projected video on water jets show was weird, this was disappointing.
I think they should aim for an animatronic lifelike critter that lives in the pond. Like the dragon in the castle
