Dwight Howard ruined the NBA season for me so I haven't visited that thread much - and this postseason has been pretty meh - hoping the Finals make up for it.Yea, NBA thread. The truth apparently isn't a defense.
Dante: You hate people!Awesome. Shame MK doesn't have food like this.
We are going for a 3-day trip this weekend. Ohana, cape may and a trip around whatever festival that Epcot has at the moment all on the schedule. Also doing the new show dessert party at MK, which I contend is a miserable waste of money, but at least I don't have to be in the hoard of people.
totally missed this yesterday. USA level 4 hockey coach (lookatme) and 30 year paramedicglvsav37 said:and off topic...interested in the meaning behind your username....details?
Level 3 USA Hockey Ref (16 years), Lv 1 coach, and a 30+ mens league goalie here! :High-five:
That's pretty damn funny.Pretty funny (and accurate) Judgemental map of MK
Didn't the park just open 10 minutes ago?110 min wait for the river ride and 195 for flights.
Yeah, not to be a complainer but this is the first time we've gone to Disney when school is out...not sure we'll do this again. We pretty much hit up our fast passes at MK and called it a day. It was 70+ minutes for any of the rides worth riding.Good morning from Pandora

Best part is they play THAT SAME SONG on the river ride too. Incredible.But at least they have that one awesome song to wait in line to. Amirite
did you see this?Meanwhile, in Anaheim... today is the first Saturday for the new Guardians Of The Galaxy ride (repurposed Tower Of Terror).
Park opened at 8:00 am.
At 10:20 am, the Standby wait time for GotG was 300 minutes.
Mine train:Disney began development on the attraction in 2011, jointly with Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment. Construction began on January 10, 2014, and the land opened to the public on May 27, 2017.
The Fantasyland section of the Magic Kingdom underwent a large expansion and renovation from March 2010[7] through May 2014.[8][9]...... A new area themed to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, featuring Snow White's cottage and the new the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster, ......fully opening a week later on May 28, 2014.
I may need to rethink my AK strategy for our trip in SeptemberWe're bailing on AK. I had already come to the conclusion we couldn't ride the new rides.
We have some friends down here headed to Universal today so we're gonna tag along.
No part of AK seemed like it was going to be any fun today.
Local news was saying people are lining up at like 3am...that's what turned us away today.We have one more entree left on our FL residents 3 day pass that has to be used before 6/25. We live about 90 minutes away from the parks. I've checked almost every day to try for a fast pass for the Avatar two new rides- no luck.
Do you think if we crash the gate at 8:00am the wait will be reasonable if we hustle right to it? It looks like our only hope...
What time do the freaking parking gates with attendant open?Local news was saying people are lining up at like 3am...that's what turned us away today.
We were at DHS last night and were going to stay for this. The food is so terrible there though that we bailed and went to Kona.Well this snuck up on me.
Last night the Studios premiered a new projection show that ran right before the Star Wars on called "Disney movie magic"
looked pretty cool. Loved the raiders section.

No regrets on the last minute audible to Universal. Universal was a blast. The kids absolutely loved it...the only time they got scared was on the damn Simpsons ride of all things. The story is basically that Sideshow Bob is trying to find you and kill you. A 7 and 4 yo that aren't familiar with the Simpsons didn't think that was very funny.I think that about it most of the time.
Its funny. This past trip we went on was supposed to be a dedicated Universal trip. We had very cheap airfare so we booked it and decided on what we were doing after. However, after weighing the cost, Disney was the better option for us. Add in the fact that the 7 year old we have is not ready for thrill rides yet and it was a no brainer.No regrets on the last minute audible to Universal. Universal was a blast.

Wife and I discussed the pros and cons of each about the entire trip home. We will definitely go back at some point, but probably make it a dedicated Universal trip.

My kids are good with the thrill rides, but aren't tall (51" and 47") enough to do a few things. We didn't do Adventure Island at all. I'm guessing we're 2 years out from a dedicated Universal trip too.Its funny. This past trip we went on was supposed to be a dedicated Universal trip.

I expect we will do a Universal trip in 2 years or so
Haha, We didn't do T2 or MIB. Honestly, we just didn't get around to it. I think both would have scared them a little.Was confused when you said the kids got scared on the Simpsons ride, but your explanation makes perfect sense.
My kid is still traumatized by the T2 attraction. She didn't have any previous experience with liquid-metal-based time-traveling robot assassins, I guess.
You caught Universal on a good year. Their big addition this year is the Volcano Bay water park, so there isn't a big push from regulars to see the new stuff at Studios and IOA.Haha, We didn't do T2 or MIB. Honestly, we just didn't get around to it. I think both would have scared them a little.
You couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces during transformers (rode that one twice). Escape from Gringotts, both were all smiles there too.
Gringotts and Jimmy Fallon were the favorites of the day.
BTW, the person that was looking at those photos in one browser window and comparing them to a Google Maps aerial shot of DHS in another was totally not me and I'm going to let myself be completely surprised by Toy Story Land if I ever visit it in like 2021 or 2022.Big moment over at the new Toy Storyland.
The Slink Dog coaster track as started to get laid.

I guess there are some construction workers freed up from Animal Kingdom now and we should really start seeing the lands start shaping up
Hasnt changed since I saw it the first time.One other note...We saw Fantasmic for the first time with the kids. They loved it. I saw it probably 15 years ago. I swear half of the show was just projections on sprays of water. Has it always been like that? I saw it in probably 2002 and just don't remember that. I remember being blown away by it 15 years ago. Left a little disappointment this time.
Has the show changed in 15 years? Or am I just old and lame now?
I don't think Ellen's Energy Adventure has changed since the 90's. Alex Trebek looks 30 years younger in that show.Hasnt changed since I saw it the first time.
Jamie Lee Curtis too. Before the Activia.I don't think Ellen's Energy Adventure has changed since the 90's. Alex Trebek looks 30 years younger in that show.
you'll get them if you have a hotel reservation.Out of state peeps, that get the Annual Pass...is it true that you don't get the custom Magic Bands with those until AFTER you activate them?
Ah, so without a hotel reservation we wouldn't get them? We're staying off property.you'll get them if you have a hotel reservation.
We live in NY and are AP holders. We don't activate our passes until our 1st day there, but get the bands b/c it is linked to an active resort reservation.
then yes, you wouldn't get them until you activate the APs. But be sure and buy them outside of 30 days of travel so that you can have them linked in your MDE a make FP'sAh, so without a hotel reservation we wouldn't get them? We're staying off property.
Thanks. Buying them this week for a trip starting July 29th.then yes, you wouldn't get them until you active the AP. But be sure and buy them outside of 30 days of travel so that you can have them linked in your MDE a make FP's
while your whole group will be getting basic grey (I believe, they don't let you pick the color), one way to help 'customize' them is to order Magic band skins from places like Magic Your Band or etsy.Thanks. Buying them this week for a trip starting July 29th.
Our friends did it last week and they really enjoyed it. We left shortly before they rolled it out. My friend was a music (sax) major so perhaps that's why but I've looked at a couple You Tube videos of it and it looks cool. I think it will be a nice addition.Has anyone done the Music of Pixar Live! show at Hollywood Studios yet? Thoughts?
