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

    Interesting that group call time was delayed this morning. I was hopeful from an ops perspective that yesterday’s 9:45 call would be the rule rather than the exception. Might be just “ride wasn’t working” though, so hopefully we’ll see the next week trend earlier rather than later. Opening the...

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

    Just got off my Group 2 ride, my first trip on RotR ever! Every effect is functional and wow my goodness that ride is excellent. I know the boarding group experience isn’t as seamless for everyone as it was for my wife and I today, but we had an excellent ride.

    Trip Report For the First Time in Forever... (9/12-9/18)

    Day 2 Part 2 Returning to the park was easy. We took a good long break, about two hours, and headed back in time to snag our 4-5 Kilimanjaro FastPass. Admittedly, we would have been fine without it - it was a walk on! In any case, upon arriving at DAK, we went to visit Mickey and Minnie at the...

    Trip Report For the First Time in Forever... (9/12-9/18)

    Walt Disney World 2017 Trip Log: Day 2 Part 1 I’m writing this - at least, the first bit of it - during a break in the middle of the day. It’s been a very long morning, in a good way!! We’ll likely be going back out soon, but I wanted to get down my thoughts so far because we’ve done so much...

    Trip Report For the First Time in Forever... (9/12-9/18)

    Walt Disney World 2017 Trip Log: Day 1 Today I began my first Disney World excursion in nearly a decade. It’s been a long time coming. My fiancée Jenn and I are both massive theme park and Disney enthusiasts, and I’ve taken her to Disneyland several times. We started our day really early...

    Hurricane Irma

    I’m very glad to see the hurricane has passed. Thank you to everyone on this site who reported from their resorts - your stories made me feel a lot better. My flight is still scheduled for tomorrow, according to Virgin. Waiting to see what MCO says. I’d love to be at Disney tomorrow, so I’ve...

    Hurricane Irma

    Moved my trip to Tuesday the 12th, I guess. Hopefully the parks are back open. Landing in the afternoon.

    Hurricane Irma

    I suppose I should have said good news in the context of earlier trends. A low pressure storm ripping through all of Florida is significantly more dangerous and would assuredly lead to greater loss of life and property than a higher pressure storm peeling off into the gulf east of Florida and...

    Hurricane Irma

    That's the big variable here. If it gets scrapped up by the Leeward Islands, by Puerto Rico, by the Dominican Republic, by Cuba... that'll kill its intensity before it gets to Florida. If you're gonna worry about anyone, worry about folks in those islands, as they're more likely to get hit by a...

    Hurricane Irma

    And yet more good news. The latest GEFS ensemble - an aggregated collection of 21 different US forecasters - seems to be trending with CMC rather than GFS, bringing the storm west. The farther west this trends, the more of Florida gets spared, and the more likely central Florida gets away from...

    Hurricane Irma

    I realize I didn't say something important, so I'll reply here - the point of my post was to illustrate some of the variables at play. These models are not gospel and both of them imply some sort of impact to Florida. The CMC model is simply a less acute impact, which is by far the best case...

    Hurricane Irma

    00z runs for GFS (US) and CMC (Canadian) have been published. GFS has been trending towards the center of the state after a run through the "bathwater" that is the hot water between the islands and Cuba, which 00z continues to do. This would be an 891 landfall - very dangerous - in the south tip...
