This reminds me of the early descriptions of the Avengers ride at Disneyland. You were going to start off in a quinjet, then eject and fly around in a jet pack. I guess that idea got scrapped in favor of the "King Thanos" concept.

I feel obligated to share the fountain show from our local theme park.

Disneyland had two virtual queues when Spiderman opened. You could get a second one at the 1pm drop.

It was 1972 and I was four years old. I remember riding Flight to the Moon. I had grandparents and aunts and uncles in Winter Park so we went often in the 70's and 80's, and most of my memories are probably from later trips. My grandmother had a drawer in her kitchen full of partially used...

I remember when BTMR opened. I was 12 and so excited that there would at long last be TWO thrill rides at Disney World. I was seriously underwhelmed. 😂 Now that I'm an old lady I like it more.

Idea for one of those future retail spaces: Bibbidi Batuubi Boutique, for your Star Wars hairstyle.

I feel like I missed my chance earlier in this thread to wax nostalgic about visiting the Magic Kingdom as a child. We went the first year it opened.

The key words there are "captured at." That's explaining which photos you can download, not when they can be downloaded.

You have 45 days from the day they were taken to download photos. MaxPass rules are the same as PhotoPass in this regard.

That's good because otherwise people would tell their cars to just drive around empty all day rather than pay for parking.

Eventually they'll need to plan for large numbers of guests getting dropped off by their self-driving cars, then sending their cars off to park themselves somewhere further away. I wonder if they are thinking about that?

According to Tom Bricker the new hotel has been redesigned and moved, so maybe the staging area won't be lost after all. http://www.disneytouristblog.com/60-day-off-site-hotel-fastpass-window-disney-world-disneyland-luxury-hotel-club-33/
