    Disney's Hollywood Studios testing restrictions on FastPass+ selections

    I must say this is a disappointing change. I really enjoyed FP+ and the bands on our trip in October. However, the restrictions at Epcot and now DHS make it a much less favorable alternative to the old system in my opinion. At least the potential of getting FP for TSM, TOT and RNR all in one...

    FastPass+ restricted to 1 major attraction at Epcot

    "major attractions" of which you can only select one are test track, Soarin', Maelstrom, illuminations and meet your Disney pals.

    FastPass+ restricted to 1 major attraction at Epcot

    Restrictions on FP+ selections are now being tested at Epcot so you can only book one major attraction and two minor attractions. I looked at the app and it seems to be all dates in November, not just a few As much as a enjoyed FP + with my recent trip, this change seems disappointing unless it...

    MyMagic+ getting better?

    Our FP+ for TSM was for 1pm on 10/24. Arrived around 1:30pm and there was only one family in front of us for the FP queue. We had booked our TSM FP a few days prior for that time, but we were looking to go back Sunday and when we checked Saturday night, all FP for TSM were gone. Obviously...

    MyMagic+ getting better?

    We were there last week, the first week where all resort guests were part of the test, and used the bands for everything they were supposed to do but for payments (never had good luck using the KTTW for credit charges and the charges being correct at the end, so didn't want to try it with the...

    Mine train cars have started run throughs

    See my original post where I offered a preemptive apology as I knew someone would bring this up ;)

    Mine train cars have started run throughs

    When you're grabbing your phone out of your pocket with one hand while holding a bottle of water in the other, clicking the camera button and pointing it quickly as I saw the car come toward the top of the inside lift, it didn't even dawn on me to turn the phone until it was over. I know, it's...

    Mine train cars have started run throughs

    No, but as I said and offered a pre-emeptive apology, it happened quickly and I just hit record as the train came up the top. I waited probably 20 minutes to get another better shot, but didn't see it happen again. I'm sure a better video will come soon from someone. :)

    AVATAR land - the specifics

    Even insiders (whose info I appreciate) can be wrong from time to time or fed less than truthful or biased information. My guess is avatar went through a difficult blue sky process and we had a unique opportunity in it being the only major project announced before development really started in...

    Mine train cars have started run throughs

    While at MK today, October 25th, we saw the train cars make a run under their own power. I only saw it happen twice and from the bridge near BOG, but it's looking good. I did take a quick video with my phone as I saw the second one come up the inside of the big lift. My apologies for the...

    Fantasyland/Mine Train aerial image update

    As of 6:50pm today as I wait for my be our guest reservation, they are sending cars through on their own. Tried to grab a video, but came out crappy on my phone.

    Hitchhiking Ghosts not functioning properly?

    Unfortunately, just got off HM and the hitchhiking ghosts are back in "B" mode. Had the same thing on Monday when we rode. Little disappointed by that. The back up mode is very lame with the screens quite visible. I once saw the old way not work with the ghosts just stationary. That was also...

    No fastpasses available today?

    You probably will be able to make same day changes without problems. The doomsday posts have been wrong IMO. Again, I recognize it isn't fully rolled out, but we've experienced no problems changing FP+ times or experiences, no long waits beyond maybe 10 people to check in at the FP+ posts...

    No fastpasses available today?

    :jawdrop: Off to another day in the parks, but now actually experiencing FP+ and magic bands, and at risk of being branded a pixie dust snorter, I still don't understand the incessant negativity towards them. I realize that as of now it is just resort guests with them and not yet everyone and...

    No fastpasses available today?

    Truly loving the magic bands and FP+. We've had a completely positive experience thus far since arriving on Monday. I'd be happy to elaborate after our vacation is over, but have faced none of the challenges or obstacles detailed in any thread about Mymagic+ or FP+. I can see though that...

    Fantasyland/Mine Train aerial image update

    What is built so far looks very similar to the model at One Man's Dream at DHS, so I believe a good portion will be uncovered, yet quite themed with rock work around you.

    Expedition Everest effects status watch

    Everest was about the same in regards to effects today.. Both waterfalls on, steam at load on, no bird, no mist, yeti on strobe mode. Still fun, but could be better. At least the foilage has once again grown in to cover the backstage building..

    No fastpasses available today?

    Using FP+ now for second day in a row. Everything has worked great with no problems. We have actually found it quite the perk. No problems scanning in at FP check points and haven't noticed others have problems. Since DHS seemed to be the problem last week, I just checked the app and at 1:15pm...

    Princesses getting new look

    Pics taken on my phone, so sorry for the quality. I posted this in the resort forum as well, but figured it was worthy mentioning here too. New pics on wall in royal guest rooms at Port Orleans to match the new princess look. Picture of Tiana is still 3D, but I much preferred the old one with...
