    Trip Report Memories from 1973-75

    Rumor has it, shooting range will close on or about Memorial day. I am working in SC this summer from May to August so I might have to buzz down for a one day adult alone trip......

    Trip Report Memories from 1973-75

    I certainly will. I was a little disappointed because I know we drove our '73 suburban from NY at that trip and stayed in the Poly. I was hoping to have some footage including either but no. I presume it was awkward taking the 8mm films. My father only took footage really while we were...

    Trip Report Memories from 1973-75

    I had several old 8mm films recently converted to digital. I only got to watch them quickly but there is this gem I extracted quickly and I had to share. The reel is labeled '73, but there are others labeled '75 that is obviously same trip. I know we purchased a brand new Chevy Suburban in...

    Rise of the Resistance effects status watch

    Okay all, I experienced the attraction last week. Kylo Ren is in B mode again. Really disappointing, But I didn't bother asking for a refund, otherwise ride is quite enjoyable. Just FYI, Cannons were stationary and there is no heat affect - not sure if we ever established here if there was...

    Rise of the Resistance effects status watch

    I don't have any inside or official information, but I believe the problem to be this: The guns are simulating recoil by moving back several feet after they fire. They return to position quickly thereafter to position it for another fire. The exit you are trying to get through is physically...

    I'll be headed down to WDW on Thursday this week. Any updates from anyone on what version of this ride is on? I'll be sure to update when I return. RP

    Rise of the Resistance effects status watch

    Well that is just the whole point. I understand things break, but for a headliner attraction with such long wait times - think of the people who wait 2+ hours on line, how much does that cost? Having several broken items and running in B mode is damaging to the brand I think. I am sure the...

    Rise of the Resistance effects status watch

    Well I don't go that much, I just really must have been unlucky. I was really disappointed not to see BB-8 and the fact the story line totally omitted him means it is a known B-version variant. There are a few pre rooms with Ray and BB-8 aren't there? I'll be there mid July again so I'll be...

    We are DVC and AP. We don't live locally but do try to go at least twice if not three times per year. I have been riding it since open and this last trip was the worst with only upside was that Kylo Ren was working.... I could see the deck guns being a safety problem. If your car is out of...

    I find it hard to believe this thread is not already here, but I searched and didn't find one. If it's here can someone, please direct me to it and archive this one? This ride has been very disappointing for me. We spend a lot of money on these trips and to see B versions consistently trip...

    Park Planning

    It's been since 2013 I've been a member, and I renewed and still not disappointed. It seems to be getting a bit dated but still a value at $17. Glad I renewed. I would not hesitate, but I thin they catch up on Genie plus..... RP

    Touring Plans?

    I've been a member since 2013. We are DVC and AP members. I still find a use for it, and for $17 it's the best value still. I hope with Genie plus they update it a little, but even for our trip in March it still paid for itself. Go ahead and sign up for it. it's a great planning tool. Even...

    Has it really been 12 years since our last visit

    Just our opinion, but rent a car if you still can. 21 days is a long time. Perhaps you could Rent a car for the for first few days and the and turn it in locally at WDW. Perhaps rent it for the last few days before you return to the airport. Just our .02 cents. Rick
