As others have mentioned, it's a very efficient roller coaster. With the dual loading trains (queuing 48 people at a time), the FastPass line rarely has people waiting so the standby is usually always moving. I have seen it swell to a 30-60 minute wait on busy summer days, but even then fast...

The numbers this weekend seem to indicate the $399/yr SoCal AP holders still exist in large quantities -- HMH and Guardians Holiday had long waits. Keep in mind these AP are locked in. They can only renew these SoCal passes if they purchased one prior to 2017. The weird thing is that...

So I'm beyond confused. Current wait times during a beautiful early September day in California. SoCal APs unblocked. Splash Mountain: 35 min HMH: 55 min Target Run: 45 min Peter Pan: 20 min Radiator Springs: 75 min Guardians: 45 min Soarin: 45 min Space Mountain: 75 min So it looks the AP...

Oh, I get that. I know that standby lines with FP are much shorter than lines without FP. I'm not trying to compare apples and oranges here. I'm only looking at the overall numbers to get a general idea how many people are in the park. Looking at those numbers, it appears WDW is experiencing...

Popcorn buckets! How could I forget about popcorn buckets?! That (sadly) explains everything.

So now I'm just perplexed. With DLR, I could propose people were not showing up because of increased costs -- all wait times at DLR were low. But with a 140 FOP wait time, people are showing up to WDW, just not SWGE? Are customers so locked into a 6-month-in-advance FP reservation they don't...

This is frightening to me. The one thing I wanted SWGE to do is to disperse the crowds. It looks like the AP swarm is still a thing.

I thought it was impossible to get to the theme parks in Orlando because of hurricanes and 6 months of pre-planning and schools and stuff.

If they return at all. $2400 ($200/mo) for APs for a family of 4 is very different than the sub $1000 ($65/mo) price just a couple of years ago. Might Disney bring back the SoCal Select passes again?

Agree and disagree :) Splash Mountain is a great family-friendly ride added to a great family-friendly park. Great ride for a great park. My point is slapping Black Window's face on Brer Rabbit's body doesn't suddenly make Splash Mountain a great Marvel IP attraction or suddenly make DL a...

I was just thinking about this the other day. Most people I know that go to Comic Con and DLR are already AP-holders. Others I know have no desire to go to DL. So, what is the Venn diagram of Marvel fans that may decide to go to Disneyland but don't already? Will Super Hero Land or Star...

So will this Sunday be a mass hysteria like it has been in the past? (First Sunday with all APs open) I assumed it would be, but I hadn't really been following the huge price increases. I was surprised to see if you don't already own a SoCal AP, the cheapest AP option to return on Sundays is...

Ya, but even my local Macy's still has live music on the weekends.

I couldn't agree more. I haven't seen it in person yet, but the only pics I've seen that indicate this is "Star Wars Land" are pics of the Falcon, Rey, and Chewie. That is not to say that IP really matters. My interest in Cars Land and Wizarding World have nothing to do with the movies...

Yep. I had plans to go to Uni last year, and then Hurricane Michael was announced. We *could* have flown out there and enjoyed a day or two at the parks, but our plans were for three days and there was no guarantee we could get a flight back home. So we cancelled. On the flip side, I was...

Isn't DHS SW:GE still "boarding group access" only? As far as I can tell, "afternoon" boarding groups are still available. So no lines out to the parking lot, I guess? Edit: found the crowds...

So I guess people that normally wait 2 hours for TSM finally found something else to do? /sarcasm

The pre-show definitely concerns me. I think the storm trooper and AT-AT reveals are going to be amazing. But if I have to be stuck in a room watching a hologram for 5 minutes every time before I get there...

"...At the end, it drives into a motion simulator for a final thrill." Wait, what?!

At least we know the bathrooms will finally be clean.
