    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    At DLR now and rode it the past few days. Hatbox Ghost was not working on our rides. Seems odd since the ride has been closed and under refurbishment for so long. I just don't get this overlay. Some of it is good, like the Jack in the cemetery, but it is mostly a bunch of boxes and black...

    Barcelona Port

    Hello all. Has anyone started their DCL cruise from Barcelona? We are on the Magic leaving June 4. We are not flying into Barcelona, so we will have our luggage and staying the night of the 3rd in a local hotel. Any suggestions on where to stay the night before? What is departure like...

    Completely agree. Right now, I have no motivation to do a runDisney event.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    How long has Kylo been in B-mode in last scene? We rode the week after Christmas 2021, and he was in B-mode then. Rode again mid-March and still in B-mode. Although the B-mode was somewhat cool in December trip because I had never seen it before, not having A-mode Kylo was really noticeable...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    No question, the plexiglass that was in place earlier this year affected the experience.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    I can only speak for the rides that we experienced in mid-August, and each time we rode, only Gun 1 was moving.

    What is your favorite subtle detail from any attraction?

    There are several, but the smoke smell in Spaceship Earth and the smell of oranges in the original Soarin' are two that stand out to me.

    Disney World can Kiss my grits...

    I actually did this with the "original" Charlotte Hornets after they drafted J.R. Reid around 1990 or 91, maybe. I didn't have much, maybe two t-shirts, a hat and a keychain, but I did box it all up and sent to c/o their GM at the time.

    New book about the creation of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge now available for pre-order

    You would think that they could do this crossover in either The Manalorian, Obi-Wan, Boba Fett or even Andor.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I haven't been in Oga's at DHS since before the Pandemic. We did get into Oga's at DLR this past week though and the "atmosphere" has changed significantly. At DLR, they turned down the volume of REX and the music where you can hardly hear it, they are using generic glasses for all drinks...

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I know this is DHS thread but thought many on here would be interested. Got back from DLR yesterday after spending a couple of days in the parks. Day one, we got BG 35 at the 7am drop. Got evac'd on first ride attempt as we were going under Gun 2. As we entered the Gun Room, only Gun 1 was...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    Was Pilot on the times I rode Falcon, and I didn't ride LwtL on this trip.

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    Agree. It completely changes the experience on ROTR and especially Mickey's Railway.

    Rise of the Resistance: Lightsaber Through the Ceiling Effect

    Episode 6 of The Imagineering Story on Disney Plus has a short clip of what I assume to be a working/test version of the effect. It appears to be different than what is in the ride at WDW.

    liberty tree tavern

    We ate there last week for the first time. Was not that impressed with the food. MK is in such dire need of more choices and better food quality. By far, the worst of the four parks.

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Agree. Our trip last week was much more relaxing without dealing with FP and the lines moved at a steady pace.

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I actually like the Rise BG system in place now. I think it is the best approach to date. I also hope that Park Reservations stay in place with VQs for other popular rides after the pandemic with no FP+, with Standby only. It has actually been pretty nice this week with the lines steadily...

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I certainly am no expert or insider, but I imagine that Park Pass Reservations may be here to stay and Tron and Galaxy, and maybe even FoP being added to even it all out, will follow Rise with the VQ model.

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Same here (Tuesday the 6th). Not sure what happened as I followed all the steps from previous days of success. When it got to the Friends and Family Screen Confirming, the page just spun. When it didn't load after about three seconds, I knew I was done. Had the same experience on my phone in...
