    Monsters Cafe has permanently closed

    Serves me right for quickly clicking the first links I found from Google! I did think Yoshi was older than that so 1990 does sound correct. Just backs up the point that in general these Nintendo characters are just as (if not more) relevant as Little Mermaid and Beauty & the Beast which were...

    Monsters Cafe has permanently closed

    Well the main rides are based on Mario, Donkey Kong and Yoshi The main ride in Nintendo land is Mario kart, the first version of which is a 30 year old game. There is also a Yoshi ride, that character first appeared in a 1995 game. Then a Donkey Kong ride which looks to be taking a lot of...

    They need to Eliminate Genie Plus and Lightning Lane

    and MaxPass was also the same simple as FP and Genie+ at DLR is also that simple, you just do it on the app instead of paper tokens. I agree that going with the just turn up style of pass that Universal has is better in many cases, but it is also significantly more expensive. Of course the...

    Monte Cristo Sandwich at The Plaza 🤮

    Why didn't you send the food back? If it was soggy and dry then I'd send it back to the kitchen.

    They need to Eliminate Genie Plus and Lightning Lane

    That system worked for 20 years at Disneyland and around 14 years at WDW. It wasn’t that convoluted as printed on the bottom of the FP slip or on the app it stated at what time you can make the next reservation. That was it, return between these times, get a new return window after this other...

    They need to Eliminate Genie Plus and Lightning Lane

    You only have to wait the two hours (or maybe 90min) if the return window for the FastPass is more than two hours away, if the return window opens sooner you can book the next one as soon as the return window opens. So if at 9am you get a FP for ToT with a return time of 09.30-10.30 you can book...

    They need to Eliminate Genie Plus and Lightning Lane

    MaxPass also has the rule where you have to wait two hours or until the return window opens, same as the old paper FastPass.

    They need to Eliminate Genie Plus and Lightning Lane

    What stupid rules? The main differences with MaxPass is that you can only use it once physically inside the park (not from 7am like at WDW) and there are enough attractions. The biggest problem at WDW is that if everyone can afford to skip the line then effectivly no-one is skipping it. With...

    They need to Eliminate Genie Plus and Lightning Lane

    Yes but even when there was free fastpass if someone went to guest services and stated they need to skip the line because they can't stand for long periods, the answer would be to rent a wheelchair.

    Disney's Streaming Services: Disney+ (and Hulu, ESPN+, Star, & hotstar)

    I was just thinking but I've seen several great shows on Disney+, then realised that they would be on Hulu in the USA. The Dropout, Dopesick and Pam & Tommy were all good but yeah they are Hulu in USA and Disney+ in UK. But Imagineering Story is also definitly worth watching. Plus we've got The...

    They need to Eliminate Genie Plus and Lightning Lane

    If someone can't stand then the best adjustment is for them to rent a wheelchair.

    Connections Eatery

    maybe it’s just because I haven’t visited in six years but there were some good fairly healthy Asian options in the Land from memory. Would be a shame if that’s gone downhill in addition to Tangerine cafe going.

    BLT Disappointment

    Would the same complaints about restaurants and gift shops apply to the garden wing of the Contempory? It seems the OP approached BLT as being a stand-alone resort when it is just a wing of the Contempory really.

    Connections Eatery

    There are plenty of better options at Epcot (although Tangerine Cafe has gone) so go elsewhere. This has always been the standard theme park fare restaurant at Epcot, the menu isn't really any different to when it was Electric Umbrella. Go to the Land food court, or into World Showcase for...

    Connections Cafe and Eatery

    That is such a perfect Epcot background loop track.

    Connections Cafe and Eatery

    You can’t argue the copy doesn’t describe the space as built though, a meeting place with views of nature and open kitchens that allows you to concentrate on the people you are making connections with. It’s a plain space as the main purpose is to allow you and friends:/family to eat and drink...

    Connections Cafe and Eatery

    If you want themed decor go to World Showcase or Magic Kingdom. This part of Epcot that used to be Future world isn’t really a theme park in that sense, baroque over the top theming wouldn’t work in an area that is meant to be contemporary and modern.

    Connections Cafe and Eatery

    Many people seem to be comparing this to airports, but before the demolition there were still parts of Epcot that look like 1980s mall/airport. The Land still has a lot of 80s mall vibes I think. This area at least looks current.

    Anyone else see this?

    Its already been mentioned in the Epic Universe thread. Personally I think a London Ministry of Magic ride is a better idea than the Fantastic Beasts stuff. The original Harry Potter stuff will have fans for years to come, the FB movies don't even have fans right now. But might be better to add...
