Replying to my report from June 26/30. My daughter went to Disneyland last week and rose Rise on 8/2 and 8/5. According to her all effects working (except the canons, of course). She even commented that she was surprised when the AT-AT canons lowered during the head-on path (since they are stuck...

Rey projection worked.

A late report from the last week of June: June 26 Left pre-show, no BB8 Probe droid lowered (we're 1x year visitors but hadn't seen that in awhile) AT-AT canons (head-on path) did not lower No lightsaber effect Kylo in B-mode June 30 - Same as above except Right pre-show, BB8 worked...

Calendar is back up (but a bit buggy...can't load September). Shows one voyage (May 31) left.

Must be those reschedules plus I'm sure Disney kept a few slots held back for some VIPs. Interestingly the voyage my family has been booked on since December, June 24, is also sold out now. Will be interesting to see if it's "we need to add back the second dinner service" 100% full capacity or...

Cancelling doesn't punish anyone (except me) as they have my payment at this point. Whole family is pretty excited to give it a try...especially now that it is going away. Looking forward to it.

Well, I'm not going to pile onto slamming the entire concept as my family is actually booked on the upcoming June 24th voyage. Short version: I'm the target audience that was likely in the original proforma. Family of 5, DVC Members, could afford it. Only issue is that my wife and 3 daughters...

That image is for the Avengers E-ticket for DCA. The entrance is there and the expansion pad for the show building sits empty. Ride would start with all passengers riding in a Quinjet...traditional Star Tours-ish style as shown here: At some point the ship breaks apart and/or we eject for an...

It is available every day but sells out quick because it's only once per day. With the 60+10 window it can be booked out before 60 days out!

It's just like dining: 60 days plus your length of stay (10 or less). I just finished booking Starlight Safari, Rhinos, Giants, and Trek. My animal nut daughter should get her fill! Starlight Safari was, by far, the hardest one to get. Was only available on our last night there. That wasn't the...

Great news! They must have loaded all the tours this afternoon. I checked this morning and they were still not available. Just checked now and both Giants and Rhinos are there! Timing couldn’t be more perfect as my 60 day window opens tomorrow morning! Thanks!

Replying to myself...I just called the tour phone line and asked specifically about Caring for Giants and Up Close with Rhinos. He did confirm that Giants appears to not be loaded yet in the system but is scheduled to run. Only advice he could provide is that tours sometimes get loaded later and...

I've been tracking all 3 animals tours and posted my findings yesterday in a separate thread under Trip Planning. Looks like Giants hasn't been loaded for August. Question is whether or not it will be loaded of if it's cancelled. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/animal-tour-status.977699/

The WDW app chat was of no help to me so I thought I'd go to the experts here! We have a tradition where when each of my daughters turns 13 (I have 3), they get a daddy daughter trip to WDW. That trip is highly specialized to their interests. My middle daughter's trip was scheduled for April...

The transition from the load shafts to the 5th dimension was never as smooth as it was designed to be (which is one of the reasons the “looking up the shaft” effect never worked) and yes, the vehicles would sometimes lose the connection during the transition. But it wasn’t a major issue. Note...
