It's one of the few I've been on that feel like a real "rapids" ride instead of just a mildly spinning log ride. The wave at the end of the triple drop is amazing. Always fun to see who "gets it" as the boat spins into that wave. Seems like other "rapids" rides just get you wet from jets or...

Some nice pics inside the new Dockside Inn. Inside Universal: First Look around Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn & Suites I'm liking it much more than I expected.

P.S. Polygon also has an article about the new land: Your first look at Avengers Campus, Disney’s newest Marvel Land

Stumbled across this today with more details on the ride experience: We toured Disney’s first Marvel Land ride, a mega-expensive Spider-Man simulator "Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure will open on July 18". Gagging a little bit on the name. Based on the article it sounds like (Spoiler)...

I was wondering the same thing, especially with the handle bar on top. It makes me wonder if there is some extra motion we haven't seen yet.

The boysenberry festival is great. I can't believe it's that time of year again. It looks like they've change the tasting card from the last time I went. It used to be a preselected list, but now you can choose from a much larger list. Seems like they raised prices too :(

The "effective immediately" part is what surprised me most. Sounds like someone trying to cash out their golden parachute before "breaking news" happens. They don't look very happy for two people making this "great for the company" transition. I have a feeling Chapek already knows he's the...

Did you see a mass exodus after the lottery? Still wondering how many people are APs trying multiple times and how many are just there for the day.

Never said it was. Thanks for the pixie dust. Thanks for the numbers! For me, a billion dollar investment for 2% ROI sounds like a Six Flags problem, not an untouchable theme park problem. I know, I know, attendance and ROI are not directly related and it's still very early for SW:GE and...

I know there is another thread in the WDW forum, but hoping for some less-sparkly insights here: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/walt-disney-company-first-quarter-2020-earnings-report-shows-increased-spending-at-the-parks-and-resorts-and-slight-attendance-gains.963222/ So pre-RotR but full...

That should be a good time. CA schools keep starting earlier and earlier in August, so hopefully that will be a nice lull between summer vacations and the holiday overlays. Since your are not worried about table service restaurants, the only thing you really need to do is find a hotel...

I think all Uni announced for USH/CA is a "Spring 2020" opening date. I believe the outside painting is done so they are probably getting close.

I haven't looked at the Evo plan for awhile. Was that lot for the campus originally zoned for a new Uni hotel?

I am. There is no other reason for me to go back to Disneyland right now. I've been hundreds of times over many decades and have found better and/or cheaper options in the past 5 years. The only reason for me to go to any Disney park right now is to experience RotR. More than likely, I'll...

Interesting. I'm wondering if this is why Uni is coy about "Nintendo opening with Epic". Guess I better start bankrolling now if I need to do Mario in 2023, Pokemon in 2025, and Zelda in 2027!

If I remember correctly, you could pretty much get in the queue at park closing for Indy and the ride would stay open until everyone boarded. I waited 3 hours for Indy the summer it opened. I think the queue started around Jolly Holiday. I don't remember any downtime while I was there, but...

https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/23/super-nintendo-world-orlando-universal-studios/ "...Super Nintendo World will be part of the Epic Universe theme park in Orlando. That's scheduled to open in 2023, and it's not yet clear whether Super Nintendo World will open then."

I was confused by the article I read. It mentioned SNW will be in Epic Universe. Epic Universe is scheduled for 2023, but SNW is not guaranteed for park open. Anyone have more details?

My only concern is APs stopping by at turnstile open, leave, check in at work, and then only return if they get a boarding group that works for them. Potentially could be a good thing as empty boarding groups would move faster during the day, but unfortunately standby groups still have to wait...

Well, you know people said it was easier to plan for DLR than WDW, so Disney decided they had to fix that :). I won't be going until there is a buy-your-way-to-the-front-of-the-line system because the current system sounds like my worst $150/day nightmare. I'll go one further. I'm thinking...
