Just too early to discuss, but I know what you mean.

I'm assuming that's what Happened...it's a safe bet

My opinion was it wasn't that great. There were some aspects I liked, but overall it was kinda a mess, I'll say that much

I actually really enjoyed this show. I really like how they started the show with Walt, and built to a nice finale in the end. Can't wait to see it next week.

I also enjoyed hearing a quote from one of my favorite sports films that Disney made, Miracle.

From following along in the main Pandora thread they are saying the Land has a capacity for 6,000 people and that they have already reached capacity.

They have separated the people into two lines - one for resort guests and one for non-resort guests.

They are estimating a 5 hour wait to get into the land for non-resort guests

See...this is what annoys me...

Disney screened/leaked a couple
Months ago that it was "the best since black pearl"...

Why do that? Why try to BS the audience into believing what they're eyes wouldn't tell them? To cover up for making a bad movie?

The way to fix that is never spend $200 mil making a bad movie...

This isn't hard...they think us fools...

So it's hard to judge fairly from any video watched at home but I thought it was pretty good. I was thrilled to see the Rocketeer in there. One of my favorites and, in my mind, a very under used IP. Thanks for sharing.

How is this going to work for people with Fast passes? If I'm staying on site and have a FP for 7-8 on Tuesday evening, do I need to get in line 5 hours before that? If someone happens to be there in the next 3 days can they ask a CM? We don't even check in until 3 so now I'm concerned we won't make it in on time.

Animal Kingdom itself is at phase 1 closure. It's possible that could get even higher.

Rumor

New Frozen themed dessert party at Epcot. It will replace the existing dessert party for Illuminations and guests will get a private ride on FEA.

UGH....I really wanted to do the Illuminations party - not interested at all in Frozen...sheesh!

i was reading that if you have a FP they will let you in but they are asking you to come by closer to your FP time

One report I saw was they were telling people in line if they have FP to go do other stuff in AK and then come back 10 mins before their FP window

I mean you're gonna get overhype from any studio over their film. I went in wanting to like it but it wasn't so (I'll leave it there and contribute my actual .02 to the inevitable thread that will pop up about it)

Noticed the App showing 250 minutes wait (4+ hours) for flight of passage, and 210 minute wait for River journey. About what would be expected. SO 5 hour wait to get into the land, then 4 hour wait for the ride.

Again, happy I won't be there for 5.5 months.

Edit: I guess the 9 hour wait is if you don't have a FP. FP+ gets you in quick, so that's definitely the way to go!

I liked that little new show at DHS. These recent night time shows seem like a big strategy for Disney to strenghten the brand and to bring back properties from the past into people's minds in preparation for what's to come (Re-makes... lots of them).

Still enjoyed it. Just a little extra to keep people away from Pandora in the meantime.
