Ever since a horrible experience with a noisy connecting room at Universal's Cabana Bay, at all hotels we now specifically ask for a room that doesn't connect to another room for just this reason. -Rob

And once the battery dies, all tap-to-use functions will work indefinitely. (Room key, park ticket, Lightning Lane, room charge, etc) We still use some of our 1st gen Bands that are like 8-10 years old. -Rob

A friend used it last year. My partner and I have Pre check, my friend did not. He only waited a few minutes longer than we did. -Rob

I've heard about the stooge scare actor. With the storyline they set up for the house I was surprised it wasn't something they brought back for Chupacabra the other year. (A village luring tourists in specifically to kidnap and sacrifice them) That big plaza in the middle just seems like it was...

Doesn't look like you got an answer. These are forced-perspective elements to extend the perceived size of the land, much like the Eiffel Tower originally did in the France pavilion. You can see them in this artwork. And since they're set back a little from the foreground buildings, they'll...

I'll agree with you, but only as far as the *original* Dinoland U.S.A. Boneyard, Restaurantosaurus, CTX and Chester & Hester's (just the gift shop). It was all cleverly designed as a singular backstory that worked. Adding Dino-rama spoiled what was an amazing land. The fossil prep lab was...

I've read it's not limited to Disney. Other companies are having issues processing credit card payments, especially online/apps. -Rob

Yes -Rob

In general, the key to upgrading WDW tickets bought at a discount is to use the ticket to enter a park first, and then upgrade it. Doing that "locks in" the current gate price for that ticket. My one caveat is that I haven't upgraded a ticket since 2018 or 2019, so there's a slight chance...

Redoing Toon Lagoon into Wicked would be quite the ironic twist. 😉 -Rob

Wicked: The (Retail) Experience

No need to deal with the shuttle to the CCC. The Alamo/National rental desk has reopened at the Dolphin, so you can just walk over. -Rob

Though the queue could be self-regulating that somewhat, right? If it gets too long and it's raining, doesn't it eventually extend out beyond the canopy? People might choose not to get in a line they might still get wet in. -Rob

Yeah, in all my digging through coasters on RCDB Cobra's Curse is the largest coaster train that uses an elevator lift I could find. Everything else is a single wild mouse style car, a single water coaster car, or even smaller like the previously mentioned Scooby Doo kiddie coaster. -Rob

I opened up the app late last night (Thursday) around 12:30 and was surprised to find 9/10 houses at 20 minutes or less. Six houses at 5 or 10 minutes. (AQP was at 35) I know wait times drop in the final 90 minutes, but I don't recall ever seeing that dramatically low numbers across the board...

It will be Vekoma's family inverted coaster, like Dragonflier at Dollywood, but with an elevator lift that I don't think exists yet for a full-size coaster. It's a surprisingly fun ride. -Rob

Yet she (presumably) ok'd the Potter float in Japan.... -Rob

Exactly what I was thinking. I was pleasantly surprised by how fun Dragonflier was when I rode it last year. Would they do 4 separate load platforms? Or only 2? My thinking was what if it was two load platforms, fed from the center, and each platform could service two train load positions...

Disney Parks FB Post specifically says "Next Winter" not "This Winter" so 16 months from now. Bug may last through Spring Break, but I wouldn't expect much more -Rob

Don't hate Universal, far from it actually. I just think adding a totally unthemed coaster in the middle of a theme park just to add a thrill ride is Six Flags level, not world-class-theme-park level. -Rob
