    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    I think this is pretty key. My hope would be that if this does fail initially, it will show them that they can't just print money. They actually need to offer something next level, especially when it comes to Star Wars fans. My fear is that the executives will think that they did offer something...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    So much tension over something no one is being forced to pay for or experience. But I can understand being disappointed in the offering. Just doesn't seem like something to have such an emotional reaction over. But hey, free country and whatnot...

    Weren't they cut pre-pandemic? I don't see them coming back. I do miss them though. The shows back in the courtyard were always fun.

    On our two rides Saturday only the first cannon moved. Same with our two previous rides over the last few months.

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Hopped back in line at around 7:30 p.m. with a posted wait of 60 minutes. Ended up all the way through the attraction before 8:30. The line never really stopped except for the preshow rooms.

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I very much enjoy the standby line so far. Entered the line at 2:30 today. We got to the indoor portion by 2:55. Then on the transport ship at 3:20. Hoping the per ride cost of lightning lane will keep it's usage down. But we shall see. *** Forgot to note that the posted time was 90 minutes.

    News Florida Blue lounge opens in EPCOT'S Norway Pavilion as part of the Food and Wine Festival

    Sorry if it is a dumb question, but what credentials are you supposed to have to have the pass in the first place? Employee? Or just a person insured by Florida Blue? EDIT: NVM. My reading comprehension skills lacked while reading the article. I blame photos interrupting the copy over and over.

    News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

    I NEVER get emails either. Except last year when they accidentally charged some pass holders twice or something. I wasn’t even one of them but I got that one. I’ve tried toe get it fixed, but they can never seem to help me. So we never even get a shot AP previews or anything.

    News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

    Man, just a few years ago my wife me I talked through whether or not it was worth it to renew after a price increase pushed our passes combined to nearly $1,000 for the year. We decided to try and save some money and downgraded from Gold to Silver at that time. We splurged this year and renewed...

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I should have been paying more attention to when they start calling. Mentioned several pages ago during our first attempt to get a group that we live about an hour and a half away so I was worried about making it on time. Didn’t matter that day, we got 70. Today I guess I was a a quick draw and...

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Thank you. Worked out OK. Ended up with group 70 so we had several hours. Only downside was that our group opened up just as the above mentioned torrential downpour occurred. We waited about 25 minutes under cover but got impatient, made a run for it, got soaked but loved the attraction. The...

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Looking for some advice. First time ever attempting to get a boarding group. We have a reservation for DHS on Sunday. We live about an hour and a half away now. Should we just wait and try for the 1 p.m.? Don't really want to get there incredibly early and not get a position. And also don't...

    New CDC Guidance Clarification

    obviously quite late to this but we were in several shows where people were escorted out by security for refusing to listen to the folks with the mask signs. I actually thought they were doing a pretty decent job. I guess it depended on the day.
