    MyMagic+ MagicBands to begin testing in parks soon

    Interesting - so you were offered one? Did you accept it and then they changed? Or, you decided at that time you didn't want to use? (just curious)

    Great Movie Ride or Old-school movie ride?

    I worked GMR in 1990 and 1991. If all was right with "Footlight Parade", they (the dancers) would spin around while bubbles floated in the air and there was a fountain with water in the back. Actually, the dancers themselves didn't spin. The platforms spun - each in a different direction...

    EMH and New Fantasyland?

    What attractions are open during morning EMH in New Fantasyland? Does Enchanted Tales With Belle open early? I was on "chat" with WDW and they gave me the usual list of "old" stuff. But, I thought I'd seen mentioned some where that the new stuff (e.g. Under the Sea, Dumbo, Belle) was part of...

    September 20 - 25 - Actual wait times

    I did NOT know that! :brick: Oh well...thanks! :wave: Just another update--we went to EPCOT on Thursday, 9/25 - it was AWESOME. The only thing that had a wait was Soarin'. It eventually got up to 45 minutes as of 2 or 3 pm. At 9:30 am, when we got there, I think it was 20 or 30. We got...

    September 20 - 25 - Actual wait times

    We are here now so thought I'd post some of the wait times I've experienced/observed/can remember... Saturday, September 20th--MK--park seemed very crowded to me, but MK always seems that way to me. We got there at 1:30 and went to Fantasyland. Peter Pan had a 40 minute wait and even Small...

    I hear ya! We love the fireworks, but we learned rather quickly that you have to be real flexible when travelling with a toddler. That means skipping things that you would have liked to see. It really wasn't a big deal, though--I've seen them dozens of times from working there and Emily had...

    Thanks! Yeah, I was wondering how it would go with a toddler, but he really did great. Can't wait to take him again in a few years--he is already excited about seeing the yeti "when I get bigger", as he says.

    Disney/MGM and MK--4/28 Friday, April 28th— Being the nice guy that I am, I let us sleep in this day. Of course, sleeping in still has us up by 8. We got on the bus for Disney/MGM Studios at around 9. When we got there, we headed for Playhouse Disney Live. We got in line for the 9:30...

    Magic Kingdom--4/27 Thursday, April 27th: Oh boy! EMH at Magic Kingdom! We got up at 6am so we could get to the bus stop by 7 am. (Yes, I am evil) We hopped on the bus and again, I was kind of surprised that there weren’t more people on it for the EMH. I guess other people like the idea...
