Here’s some info about the Star Wars hotel. Still nothing official from Disney regarding pricing, but those numbers are out there. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...22190828190024C

I guess some people's expectations for announcements must have been crazy because Disney Twitter/forums are going nuts that more wasn't announced. It was pretty much all what I expected based on the rumors the last few weeks. The only thing missing was Brazil.

Yeah, I was shocked at the lack of Brazil announcement, did plans for that fall through? Empress Brosephine posted:Figment not dead? There was no mention of figment and the map still has the imagination pavilion intact so he might have a stay of execution for now. The crowd gave a big cheer when he was name dropped at one point

I'm... curious? about SSE more than anything. I don't really understand exactly what they want out of it but I'm interested to see the idea right now, anyhow. All I really hope for is an updated Living with the Land video at this point, with regards to Epcot. ...and maybe individual land popcorn.

I have an irrational appreciation that they're renaming Future World. Approaching that area from a different creative angle feels necessary to make it less...disastrous.

My wife legit cried over Dick Van Dyke on stage and that announcement. Those dorks can go huff paint. Also, did Hagrids again and the motorbike is where it’s at. Feels like actual flying when you’re zooming over the water in those >90 degree banking turns. What a great ride.

I would not be surprised if Disney pulled any announcement of Brazil, if it's even happening, over the fact that they're under the microscope right now. Overall I'm excited. 2017 was announcement after announcement and I knew it wasn't going to be like that this time. Epcot looks insane. I love that the Runaway Railway entrance is basically a giant nod to the Great Movie Ride logo. Rise of the Resistance looks RIDICULOUS. Overall, I think they're still holding a lot close to the chest to sprinkle throughout 2020/21 even if it just randomly drops on the Parks Blog. Also the Guardians coaster having a reverse launch is wild, and Space 220 is going to be impossible to get in.

Is Hagrids actually open now for good and at a reasonable wait time? Last time I went they had told me I could wait in line but they had no idea when the ride would be open.

Yeah it was open all day barring weather. Said 120 wait but we were getting on at 35 minutes. Queue is good too.

Sounds like Hagrids offers the feeling that Cheetah Hunt does when it goes over the old Rhino Rally gulch. That’s awesome as that’s my favorite part of cheetah hunt.

What if that were part of the ride and also the longest segment? It’s indescribably bad. My ticket was free and I still want a refund for that. Doing Hagrids again and they were putting a capacity sign up and closing the line entrance (says 140 mins). Never seen that at a park, Disney let’s you get in line up until closing. Universal still cuts corners like crazy. Butter beer is also $9 now for the regular cold style. Bonkers. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Aug 26, 2019 |

F&F might be the king for “take something we already have on file, I don’t loving CARE” of theme park rides. Literally, as the entire ride is video files from years ago that just needed to be fit to the projectors and setup.

Hagrid just needs more overnight maintenance than the other rides, so they cut it off early, it's the only time they've done that. They still are trying to reduce the downtime, but I don't suspect they'll have it normalized until Christmas.

I've seen five people explain the new SSE and I'm just too stupid to get it (there you go nanigans, have at it). I just am not following at all as to how they intend to do the thing or really the concept. It kind of feels like they're reimagining that really old Epcot movie with the little light bubble? Hagrid's is wonderful, even I can't bitch about that.

Hagrid’s is pretty awesome. Riding in the front row on the motorbike was just indescribable. It was a nice departure and if only they had properly tested it instead of opening it too early. Got to roam around Batuu one last time for the preview tonight and drat. I’m gonna miss it after this week when it’s completely filled with people forever. I got to take in so much more since I wasn’t completely sensory overload and they had R2 out which I hadn’t gotten to see.
