While it is interesting that the berm is in a straight line from Liberty Square’s bridge, it’s very unlikely that the purpose of this project is to block the view of the Contemporary. That view (and the portions of Tomorrowland seen across the Hub and in front of the Contemporary) is very much...

I agree that makes the most sense in theory, but there is a possibility that Transportation could handle downtimes in the way that they currently handle bus service to Epcot when only that monorail line is down. Even though it would be faster to have a bus depart directly to Epcot from MK and...

It’s a version of the smell that you don’t mind having in your home for hours at a time, rather than just sniffing it for a few seconds on SSE.

CMs are usually instructed during training to report anything suspect so that Security or Guest Relations can determine whether or not the filming/photography is appropriate, and provide an escort if necessary or let the guest know that they must stop what they are doing.

Because of the sheer amount of these bricks, they could never really find the hazardous ones before either a front line CM or a guest pointed it out. All areas are of course checked for safety issues before being declared clear for guests, and CMs are trained to be hyper aware of potential...

Of course! When you’re a CP and doing Audience Control on a near nightly basis, you become intimately familiar with all of those bricks. I’m sad to see them go, but the amount of people I saw trip on the older wobbly ones was not pretty.

I had to call in your brick for a repair last summer! It was a tad bit wobbly and was a trip hazard for Guests exiting. I distinctly remember using “The Queens” as the reference for them to look for when I reported it.

I wouldn’t brag too much online about teaching at DU while sharing information from the OGs and other Welcome To Transportation/Ops curriculum (which as you know are marked as confidential material and all current and former Cast are officially prohibited from sharing said material). Disney’s...

Not really. CMs often are able to enter into a lottery through a program called Magic Backstage, sometimes being permitted to bring their immediate family members or an allotted amount of guests with them to the dress rehearsal. Guests typically are just approached at random and asked if they...

I am certain the mesh roof is intentional, just as how the solid roof of the Magic Kingdom monorail station is seen as a design flaw hampering safety for egress during summer rain, and half an hour later a safety feature during high temperatures once the rain passes.

The rest of the beamway is inspected as well, but the platform CMs are only responsible for the beam that is in their station's zone. The teardrop is in the zone for the Epcot station, so their CMs must drive through the park (just quicker than walking around during pre-opening chaos). Other...

Knowing the typical format of Disney pre-opening procedures, I imagine that a visual inspection will be required of the entire length of each line before anyone (CM or Guests) are allowed to board. It probably would be done from a vehicle driving along the service roads (just like a vehicle with...

They typically notify a Cast Member (or CMs simply notice that a family is wandering aimlessly trying to figure out what to do), and the CM communicates with their coordinators or leadership to assist the guests in getting back to their cars, usually by bus or Minnie Van. Imagine being the last...

The main idea behind the Pilot spieling about the doors and silver handrails (yes, the color descriptor is a key thing in the spiel and it is incorrect if they aren’t described by color) along with the automated spiel is that Guests are more likely to pay attention when a live human is obviously...

This isn’t relevant, as a power outage like tonight’s is fairly rare and can’t really be prevented. Complaining about extraneous circumstances that are out of Disney and CMs control is not helping anyone.

Pink and Purple are not part of the current fleet, and you are missing Teal.

The one and only place to open and close doors is from the train. Either on the Pilot’s console, or on the side exterior door control panel like the old days. The button on the platform console does not actually close the doors, it simply tells the pilot he/she is cleared to close them when ready.

I’m not sure if you realize this, but this is an unofficial fan site. What is posted here holds no bearing on any events planned (or, from what I’ve heard, absolutely not planned or announced yet) by Disney for Passholder Previews.

Except RCID’s funds come from its land-owning taxpayers, which by some magical coincidence, happen to be almost entirely the Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries/affiliates. So in a way that works all too well, the RCID money is coming from a pocket that has money constantly put into it by...

There were plenty of peeps, all of which said that the problem was and still is with the fire detection system in the building giving false alarms and signal faults. They narrowed the issue down to Na’vi River’s portion of the building, it seems, and were working to resolve the issue. The...
