    Hurricane Helene (2024)

    At first I thought this was a wacky spaghetti model then I realized it was "hurricane hunter" flight paths.

    Hurricane Helene (2024)

    Unless another low pressure system becomes a tropical storm before this one, it will be Helene. But it isn't now so the thread is still correctly named.

    Hurricane Helene (2024)

    Yeah. Its a live link so the graphic changes with every update. Another site still shows it as Cat 3. Its showing as M as of the 5am update from NHC.

    Hurricane Helene (2024)

    Right. NO forecasts show it aiming for Central Florida. WDW will certainly get extra wind and rain from extended rain bands. Think of it as one of Winnie the Pooh's "blustery days".

    Hurricane Helene (2024)

    Earlier NHC maps showed it as an "H" (Hurricane) before landfall which would be Cat 1 or 2. Now it shows "M" (Major hurricane), meaning Cat 3 or greater. This won't be like Cat 1 Hermine in 2016 or Idalia from last year. Closer to Hurricane Michael in 2019 and we know what that storm did...

    Hurricane Helene (2024)

    I live in Leon County. Time to get the heck out of dodge on Wednesday. My folks live in Jax. I told them today to get ready. Okay, I asked. What, are they going to turn me down?

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    WDW can't catch a break. Here, pavement theming gets poo poohed. Meanwhile on a parallel thread right now about the refurbed exterior of The Plaza restaurant, people are decrying the security cameras that are screwing up the theming around WDW. Damned if they do. Damned if they don't.

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    It's comparable to Animal Kingdom. Would you prefer plain gray concrete in AK? If your answer is "No", there's your theme answer.

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    If you say so. I watched several videos and honestly can't tell.

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    That's really good. However, I watched several videos with existing songs. There is a different loop as you go into the reversal chamber. The song starts as soon as you propel backwards. Then the chosen song continues to play as you enter the exit area all the way to the disembark zone. So...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    "Funnier" or "funner" if that is word?

    News 'Disney Dreams That Soar' Drone show coming to Walt Disney World this summer

    Would love to but not there until the end of October. Oh, well. Maybe some other time or a comparable show.

    Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2024

    Yeah. I got Skeleton Mickey last year. (Technically on Halloween DCL cruise. Skeleton Mickey was sold out in the parks). I'm good. I don't need every popcorn bucket.

    News 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    I was more inspired by the festival center being in the Wonders of Life building. There was merchandise, demonstrations, exhibits, etc. This looks more like EP-Mart.

    Space 220

    It may be related to ADRs made for 10/31 when a lot of people are over in MK for MNSSHP.

    Space 220

    My 60 days opened up today. Lots of availability for Space 220. This actually surprised me.

    News Jungle Cruise closing for refurbishment in late August

    I dunno either. This forum has consistently been reporting on extended downtimes. I only bring it up in this thread because with JC under refurbishment and Tiana allegedly down (if reports are to be believed), they're going to have a capacity problem as guests shift to other attractions.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure Virtual Queue and Lighting Lane status

    "These sensors are part of advanced safety measures and control systems to trigger Audio-Animatronic scenes." So that explains why Tiana is always down and Splash wasn't as often. The scenes were ongoing in Splash as we could understand what was going on. With Tiana, however, it has to...
