I hope it is a good ride. My son is about 12 and he has been very excited to ride it. But he did become skeptical about how thrilling the ride will be, being the height requirement is only 38 in. when even stitch has a height requirement of 40in.

I think it is temporary as well. There is a lot of construction on the water and it is not safe for people to cruise next to it when they are renting a boat from POR. Plus, Disney just mailed me a free hour boat rental voucher for staying in Riverside this month. You would think that if this was...

We are definitely screwed. There have been about 25 posts in the last 2 weeks, regarding fast pass lines being over 40 minutes. Every single time it gets posted, a cast member comes in and says the ride must have broken down, as if there is no way fast pass + could be the culprit. So we are...

I wonder if the resorts will be getting the Amphicars to rent like Downtown Disney, after construction is completed.

That is too bad. My kids and I were really looking forward to renting a boat. Now I will just have to commandeer the DTD ferry boat.

I would renew. Everyone who said they were able to get their fast passes with good times, are basing it being there at a non peak time. April will be very busy and twice as packed.

I hope by the end of March it is open. My travel agent friend told me to keep checking the Disney Experience ap. She said that the word is, the start of the soft opening will be leaked out by people who all of the sudden can get a fast pass for it on which ever day the opening will be.

When they do soft openings, are they for everyone or just resort guests?

I do not know if it was mentioned yet, being I did not read through every single post, but a lot of articles are indicating that the soft opening will begin the 2nd week of March. Apparently even the WDW radio guy mentioned on his podcast, that the only ride/attraction ever, to not get a soft...

Yeah with the pictures, nobody knows for sure what happened there, but people are posting those pictures, because other people have said they personally waited 30 minutes for Space mountain and 40 for Thunder. Look around, it is not just this forum, people everywhere are complaining about long...

Again, in over 15 years of going to Disney, for two weeks in the middle of peak season and and a few times during Easter, we never waited in a fast pass line ever. I have also never seen any threads in the past before FP+, where people are complaining about the lines for fast pass being so long...

Yeah with Soaring, it is to be expected, being your waiting for the show to finish up from the people who got on the ride before you. Same goes for Test Trek now that they make you make a car. But other than that, flash the paper and your able to walk right on in.

I just went on my Disney Experience now and went to a day we were not planning on going to the parks. I let Disney chose the picks and with 3 options, not one parade or firework show was given to me as quick pick by Disney.

That would depend on how the computer automatically picks them. They give you the option of letting them chose, but I would assume they would put in rides to make your experience better, not parades and fireworks.

If the fast pass lines had long queues, I never saw it and that is with me being there for two weeks in peak season. Never one time, have I ever waited more than a couple minutes to get on the ride. This is pretty much the reason people are complaining. They never waited before, but now they are.

I would love to see the numbers at the end of the year, of how many people reserved a fast pass for a parade, fireworks, Captain EO, Journey, Idol and the rest of the attractions that fast pass was not needed for.

This will be our first time at Riverside. I wanted Boardwalk, my wife wanted Riverside, surprise surprise she won. Her biggest point of the debate was how nice it will be to take a nice relaxing boat ride to DTD on some of the off nights, rather than taking the car or bus and dealing with the...

I doubt it, being there is no closure lol

I know, but it is only temporary for the rentals in Downtown Disney. They will be back in January 2015 as those Amphicars, as I mentioned in my previous post. The Boat rentals in Riverside are still staying open I think. I just received a free hour rental from them last week, along with other...

We are going to Riverside at the end of March as well. If they did close it, which is definitely not true at all, we would transfer and pay a little more to be in a better resort. I heard Riverside is great, but without the boat as a perk, I think several families would rather go somewhere else...
