Maybe a bit pedantic, but you are correct. It's a loop, not actually a spur.

Handicapped spur. At all stations except Riviera, gondolas can be pulled from the main line for easier boarding of ECVs and wheelchairs, then re-inserted into the main line to continue on. At Riviera, they just slow the line to half-speed.

Little Miss Matched closed too. Can't remember whether it was because the parent company was having trouble or Disney wanted the space for Phase 3 construction.

Exactly - I'd be dry, and I think I'd still prefer the gondola even with the screaming kids. :)

Shelters only hold so many people. If the bus at a particular bay is that late, the line can stretch past the switchbacks and out from under the shelter. I've also once seen the line for the All Star Resorts at DHS park closing stretch for the entire length of the bus depot, but that was...

I would much rather be stuck in a stationary gondola with strangers than standing crushed in a line of 70 people for an hour during a downpour waiting for a bus back to my resort to finally show up. (Yes, that's a thing that has happened to me, and I ended up giving up and going back into the...

I think it's fair to say that the criticisms fall into a few distinct categories: "I don't understand the concept and/or I don't believe the target market actually exists." "I desperately want to experience this but can't afford it, so I'm going to jealously whine about it and root for it to...

Disney frequently opens additional FP+ slots for popular/tier-1 attractions at the 45-day (APs) and 30-day marks, and day-of slots for less popular/tier-2 attractions. I've been able to snag FPs for Flight of Passage at 30 days that I couldn't when my resort window for a short stay opened at 60...

The Frozen M&G in Magic Kingdom had 5+ hour waits when it first opened. I snagged Fastpasses for a few days after opening, and if looks could kill, we'd have been murdered by hundreds of Standby guests as we walked into the FP+ line.

The Incredibles are a Pixar-original IP, not Marvel. Big Hero Six, though published without the Marvel logo and very few consumers know it's not an original IP, is actually an extremely obscure Marvel property that is exempt from the Universal contract because none of the characters have ever...

Isn't Armchair Imagineering the occupation of the entire membership of the WDWMaqic boards?

True, though it's hardly limited to him or to Disney. Most large, publicly-traded corporations fail to grasp a very simple concept: Customers are a company's lifeblood, and IT is the circulatory system that keeps that lifeblood pumping. Treat your IT department as your core revenue generator...

Disney operates their IT department on a shoestring budget, outsources and offshores almost all the work to avoid paying US FTE labor rates, and treats the handful of remaining US cast members in IT like dirt. As a result, their websites, apps, and databases are a train wreck. You get what you...

Some people, it seems, can't tell the difference between M&Ms and Reece's Pieces.

Depending on whether you count Donald's butt as an animatronic, you could argue there's one in Philharmagic.

You have a preconceived stereotype of the potential audience that appears to be preventing you from even considering the possibility of anyone outside that audience being willing to pay for this experience. Time will tell, but the reality is very likely broader than your imagination acknowledges.

No. There's some serious hate for the art style and plotlines from one side of the Mickey fandom, and effusive praise from another side. Search around for "Ren and Stimpy Mickey" if you dare. :)

That, and the new Mickey cartoons (on which MMRR is based) might actually be more divisive than The Last Jedi. I anticipate a lot of people boycotting the ride.

Perhaps not, but there's been nothing about Galaxy's Edge so far that has in any way been run the way WDW Ops typically runs things.

FTFY. IMHO. 🤪 Seriously, they'll be better off by far, operationally and guest-satisfaction-wise, if they go to a normal standby queue exclusively and reserve the FP+ line for one-offs like DAS and VIP tours that can't utilize standby.
