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

    Sorry if this has been discussed before, but does everyone in your party need to be in the park to be added to a boarding group, or can it be like fastpasses where one person can book for everyone? I really want to get on this ride, but there is no way my wife is waking up at 6am on vacation.

    Completely agree, you won't be able to see anything since the engine house is in the way. If anything, since the truck will most likely head west to get to Lancaster/York/I-83 you may be able to catch a glimpse of the loaded truck leaving, but that would take some serious watching to catch the 5...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    Yeah, that was my thinking for the 5 day ticket, even if the extra is just a half day to get a couple of rides to go on again or to see fireworks it's worth it.

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    Two questions for you DLR vets, I used to go to DL about once a year, back when my mom would have an annual conference right across the street, but haven't been since 2010. We've been to WDW quite a few times, but I'm looking to bring my family for the first time, wife and 3 kids, will be 7,6 &...

    News Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2019

    I know we went November 8th in 2015, but I don't think it was the first party that year.

    That's what I figured too. I'll be down next week, really wish they would lower the age limit so I could do the tour with my kids, my 6 yr old would love it

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    Nice find! Is anyone in/going to be in the parks this weekend? I saw rumors on other sites that they saw the train running backwards, with speculation that they may institute a shuttle like they did when Splash Mountain was being built.

    News Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2019

    It is definitely an improvement over just the cookie and hot chocolate especially when it's still 85 degrees out. On the other hand the price has also increased 33% since then..

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    I've been playing around with the MTH sound files in order to add custom sounds like the DLR or WDWRR announcements, so far this is as far as I've gotten: MTH 4-6-0 with WDW RR Sounds They are Railking models, but usually as long as theyre 'close enough' to full scale I don't mind it. I wish I...

    Ha, yep. MTH actually went out and measured Walter for the model. The one I have you can actually see the 'WDW RR' logo under the George Washington paint.

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    I started in O scale from my dad's postwar collection. The cost and size are definitely downsides, but it is alot easier for my kids (6, 5 & 3yrs old) to play with than N & HO. Between all the custom sounds and controlling the trains on your phone, there's alot of cool features. To keep this...

    Yes, it was incredible. You don't realize how big it is until you're up close and it dwarfs #90. Luckily Strasburg has a pretty good playground, so my wife and kids we're able to stay busy while I was geeking out..

    Ha yep, the Big Boy seems to confuse some people on the he/she debate, but in general it's 'she'. Then again it's 2019 so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to assume a Steam Locomotive's gender.. :rolleyes:

    Roundabouts at Disney

    Is that a Railroad Crossing at the bottom left too? All they're missing now is a light rail going down the the street. By the way, this conversation is exactly what we deal with all the time as an Engineering firm. The township/planners want the traffic circles installed due to aesthetics...

    Roundabouts at Disney

    While theoretically I agree with you, I don't think that's the solution for WDW. I'm a civil engineer, so I definitely know the traffic-flow benefits of a roundabout, but unfortunately also the reality of people not being able to deal with them. Installing them in a place like WDW, where I'd...

    Nope, they don't let the public in the 'super-secret' bay.

    Massive crowds is an understatement, that place was packed for a month straight! Hope they get to do it again. I was able to peek in the shop and see Roger a few weeks back, but there were no pictures allowed. Looked like some minor disassembly had been done, but not too much yet. They've got...
