    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind SPOILER Thread

    I’m now 12 rides in (six days, 2x each) and have yet to see anyone getting sick. Also from ride #2 onward I’ve danced my way through the whole thing after the photo, and it only makes the ride more fun. Highly recommended if you’re feeling the song; I’ve felt all of them, but especially Conga...

    They do, but General Tso Chicken (breading, sweet sauce, and wontons) and a vegan Niçoise salad (no tuna or egg, but still potato wedges) aren’t ideal. Seems like a miss to me (I’m a stickler even on vacation haha), but burger no bun always works.

    Connections Cafe and Eatery

    So I’ve yet to dine at Connections (menu doesn’t fully suit my low-carb lifestyle, though I could get a burger with no bun). That said, I’ve cut through it a few times and used the bathroom - love the brighter energy and music loop compared to Electric Umbrella. Makes the potential of World...

    Yes, exactly - thank you! I’ve gotten both of those 3x and have mostly turned right haha. So for my next ride today, will ask for left; already did on ride #1 this morning and got Disco Inferno for the second time. There’s something to this strategy 👏

    No boarding group 1 for me, but I can live with this outcome. Here’s hoping for song #6!

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    Speaking of vomit (fun times!), yesterday we boarded our Mission Space orange capsule and waited for the ride to begin, when they opened ours up and ushered us out. Someone had just thrown up the previous cycle, and while I didn’t notice, my sister and the other party could smell it. Then...

    This is cool to know! When you say left vs. right, do you mean coming down the ramp (direction the CM tells you to walk), or facing forward in the train seat? Asking because “I Ran” will be my last song (already gotten “September” + “One Way or Another” 3x, and my current favorite—Conga—once)...

    Yep, 10:30am is when the host showed up with an iPad. The day before they’d recommended arriving around 10:15am for good chances, and we arrived closer to 10:05am - seemed like most groups there by 10:15 had good luck.

    Quick follow-up to this question - today I actually chose a later return slot than the first one being offered. Looks like you can do that when picking your time! First ILL offering overlapped with a planned walk-up at Space 220, which we pulled off! So we were able to go straight to Cosmic...

    I’m with your companions in Group 7! Also landed the Ratatouille LL for 8:45am and Cosmic Rewind ILL for 10:55am. All just me (booking for 2 people this time), but no app tag-teaming. Pretty chuffed this morning!

    Not positive, but I think they’re actually gonna be stricter here (the ‘grace period’ for LLs is something like 15 minutes, and in DL I’ve seen a Genie+ LL go dark with no grace period at all - went to Guest Relations when this happened and they added it back). This could also be something you...

    I disagree with this review in so many ways, but I respect their right to disagree with me. At least it’s a close competition for someone out there! Also credit where credit’s due, Tron’s loading area does look sick. Better than the one for Guardians. That’s one of the biggest places where...

    I wanted to hate it based on the big blue box alone, but I can’t - too much to love. Also the height of that building makes a lot more sense to me now, not so much for the track but for feeling fully immersed in the stars.

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind SPOILER Thread

    Nope, not at all. One Cosmic Rewind has done far more for my happiness than one DCA 1.0 did, or one 2014-era WDSP (including both Crush’s Coaster, which I actually like, and a brand new Ratatouille). Totally worth whatever they poured into it. Also the comparisons to Gringotts easily favor...

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind SPOILER Thread

    Exactly, I liked Tron enough to ride it 5 times in a day. It’s a blast in its own right (super short standby waits helped, which will never be the case at MK). Add in the same virtual queue shenanigans or 2-3 hour waits, and it’s not nearly as fun. On the contrary with Ratatouille, it’s a much...

    Joining the spoiler fun, now that I’ve made it on 6x over three days. Interestingly, I’ve gotten three songs, twice each: “September,” “One Way or Another,” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” All fantastic, danceable experiences, but I really want Conga at least once. As someone who’s...

    I haven’t been at a Disney resort and have been able to purchase LLs on Sunday, yesterday, and today. In chronological order I got: 10:40am 4:45pm (a minute or two late to the punch) 2:00pm

    Boarding Group 18 today! Coming off last night’s Jesse McCartney concert at the House of Blues (no alcohol for me, but a late night), I’m pleased with the progress.

    Progress! Can’t wait for rides #3 and #4 (just grabbed a Lightning Lane slot that’ll work before heading over to a House of Blues concert) - I really want Gloria Estefan. 💃

    In line for my second experience now - was actually three minutes late for Boarding Group 67. New favorite ride in WDW! Also favorite coaster in Orlando, probably worldwide alongside VelociCoaster (and I’ve been to all the Disney parks + Six Flags Great Adventure & Discovery Kingdom). Not...
