Iconic - I would say it ranks 3rd behind HM and POTC. There is a feeling when you walk from the entrance to boarding that is hard to describe but multiple generations know it. The ride is still fun but needs to be restored to its original state (Including lighted ships to view from the...

IMO you should buy the Genie for some of your vacation days. You are spending a lot either way and for $15 a day you can access far more attractions. I had to get used to it on a recent trip and I have complaints about it like everyone else does but at the end of the day it is a new system...

My daughter has always loved Epcot - many parents just assume their kids won’t like it.

No sour grapes and the drug is Cabernet. The gondola changed the landscape for some very mediocre resorts which improves the entire vacation experience so yes I think it has an impact beyond that of any one ride.

Finally rode ROTR. Enjoyed it and some moments were spectacular but I don’t see it as a regular must do. The pre-show transporter segment is long and seems like a tough part to re-ride. MMRR gets my vote and ironically it got the least marketing hype. IMO it is a great modern version of...

Rode Kali for the first time in years last month. My daughter and I noticed that it was a walk on first thing in the AM so it was actually worth it and we enjoyed it. So now of course they take that away. Would not wait more than 15 minutes.

Just reserved parks for a January weekend trip and for the first time the one I excluded was my former favorite Epcot. I can handle construction everywhere if it is making progress but Future World just looks like a wasteland now and the delay in France expansion and Harmonius is just sad.

Like most I love the PeopleMover - and I always remember when my daughter was little she would say “I want to ride on the train with no driver“. 😊

Disney is doing a great job on Covid prevention - I was there last weekend and felt very safe. But Future World is a mess and Epcot needs something (Rat) now. - based upon what I saw they can manage the safety issues

Rode for the first time last weekend - very impressed. Best new all ages ride at WDW since Kilimanjaro IMO.

Rode it this weekend and I agree. Nice queue and stepping into the cockpit was impressive but the ride was mediocre. We had a party of 3 and I was the only pilot - could not tell if some of the mistakes were mine or the AI.

Sorry if this is in the thread already. I assume that you can leave the park that you have a reservation for and reenter later that day. At lease I hope so. Appreciate any confirmation - heading to the Disney bubble on 8/13.

Still waiting on extension of my Silver annual passes - anyone with those receive an updated expiration date yet?

The gondolas seem ideal for these times since they can put just one party in each cabin. I don't see why surface issues would be any worse than in a monorail or bus. Surprised this is not reopening with the parks.

Have Caribbean booked for August - sure hope we are back to normal by then!
