That definitely could have been part of it. As I said, we were pleasantly surprised with the crowd levels during our trip given how crazy they've been recently even in January.

Just got back, and while we weren't in any of the preview groups that got to ride, I still felt like sharing some thoughts. First, the ship is huge! I knew that it was 1:1 and that it was 51 ft. tall, but I don't think that really registered until I saw it in person; the photos don't really...

We just got back from 10 days in the parks, and Genie+ was a success for us. My wife mentioned several times during the trip how impressed she was with how well it worked. Only once were we not able to get the LL we preferred. With an understanding park touring strategy, and some basic info on...

Disney Parks blog just posted their first look at "Halfway to Halloween" specialty treats that start on 4/28 (because I guess August is too late to start Halloween this year 😏). https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/04/first-look-at-disneys-halfway-to-halloween-eats-and-treats/

So does "almost" mean we only get to take your garage and one of your kids? 😏

I'd also be surprised if there weren't a sign. The bigger question is whether it will maintain the continuity of the theming/story and read "Wonders of Xandar," or whether they break the theming because some people will get confused if it doesn't say "Guardians of the Galaxy."

The skylights in Connections (covered by drop ceilings during the Innoventions/Electric Umbrealla era) were originally part of a corridor that ran through the Communicore buildings. Word is that there were plans to have a PeopleMover between SSE and the lagoon, and it would have run through the...

Just curious if low-light computational photography is allowed, or if that's considered "cheating" even if all the processing is done in place by the camera's own software.

Again, you're making assumptions and arguing against things I never said. Not once did I say they shouldn't have done better with Connections, or that anything better than the Stargate was "good enough." All I said is that if you think it should be better, "original EPCOT design" isn't a valid...

Where did I "herald" anything? You're making assumptions about my opinion of Connections. My post stated no opinion about Connections whatsoever - positive or negative. It simply pointed out the blatant irony of your post lauding the "groundbreaking, iconic" design of the original EPCOT as a...

Did you ever visit the Stargate Restaurant quick service that was originally in that location? It looked like an '80s mall food court, and was more bland than Connections. It's fine if you don't like the design of Connections, but don't claim it's because it doesn't live up to the legacy of...

They definitely appear to let you sample as much as you want. The Trackers went to S & S, and 8 minutes of the video (so probably at least 10 minutes of actual unedited time) is just them standing at the counter asking to sample every single flavor.

The last time we ate there, it was paper plates and disposable utensils.

Haven't gone yet; soon, though. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a definitive answer to the question (some things I've found say it works great, but others say it doesn't work at all), so at this point, we're leaning toward just buying new MagicBands to be safe. Actually, both NFC for touch...

No; most of that building was previously taken up by Innoventions East. Maybe you're thinking of Fountain View (aka Starbucks). Electric Umbrella was in the building now occupied by Connections Cafe and/or Eatery. They trimmed a little off of the facade, but the bulk of the building where EU...

I'm one of those "EPCOT purists," but I don't get the "not EPCOT enough" sentiment. The Stargate Restaurant that originally occupied this space was just a bland sea of non-descript tables and chairs with barely any theming.

Uh... Ample Hills is. They were bought out in a bankruptcy auction by a new owner and the New York-area stores are still open.

On our last trip, we got the dining package. It was great not having to line up (we just walked right in 20 min or so before the start of the show), and the seats were great. However, I would offer a caveat for the dining package. From our experience, there's no compensation if the show doesn't...
