Very much agree here. And the evidence is in what I experienced last week with an 8 am opening vs a 7 am opening. There were just more people there in a compressed time period. It only meant the people that might have gotten up to be there at 730 got there at 630. The same group of people...

Really not sure how that would stop the walking crowds. All it would mean is a line somewhere else on property, likely with less security around, and probably in a more dangerous place.

So how would you solve the problem? No matter what, people were going to line up early for this ride. This is a fact. People still get to AK an hour before opening to get on FOP. All the Disney parks tend to open a little before their scheduled opening - I rope dropped a park every day last...

Nope, I agree there. And at this point, it’s their own fault if they do no research and don’t plan at all. Not like it’s not made obvious by every Disney based advice site. It amazed me the amount of people I saw going up to cast members asking about the Fast Passes though. I don’t quite get...

I noticed that and though I didn’t have the opportunity to use them ;) I was very pleased to see them. Whenever they finally start using standby, that’ll be nice for people and their tired feet.

At least the predictions made by @WDW Pro were. I keep hoping he’ll come back to entertain us by trying to wipe the egg off his face. Wondering if he realizes he shot his credibility to the moon.

I like the scheduling. It allowed me to ride FOP 5 times this week, Peter Pan 5 times this week, and Mine Train 3 times, as well as Rise 2 times. I do more with FP+ than I did with the old system. We talked to an ops guy who said guests do 30% more on average in a day. And the BG’s were great...

Yes. It’s that fun of a ride. Does anyone care about Avatar? Not really. And yet everyone continues to re-ride FOP. Why? Because it is a great thrilling well designed ride. Rise, IMO, is better than FOP, and will easily have people wanting to return. I ride rides because they are fun. I like...

And to that I say... what??? Lol. People have been re-riding the 90 second Peter Pan Over and over again since WDW opened. So I’m pretty sure the best ride Disney has done in years is re-ridable. But I’ll gladly take their spot the next time around if they don’t think people would like to re-ride. 😂

Meh... this isn’t really something you notice when you are on the ride. I think it’d be a super hassle but maybe they eventually will. It’d be a heck of a lot of buffing given the length of the ride. They are probably too focused on fixing ride kinks each night in the actual operations to even...

Guests with their own cars and Lyfts/Ubers. Disney’s transport starts later. You want an early morning group, don’t use Disney’s transport.

That... is so dumb. I wanted to re-ride it immediately! I don’t get up at 4 am at Disney on a regular basis. I’m not that mean to myself. And yet I did it twice, cause the ride is amazing. Methinks someone is trying to discourage others from trying for their own benefit.

Lol. And we were satisfied with two! Mom and I thought about doing the ride again yesterday but the call of the Magic Kingdom was too strong for our trip finale. (Turned out to be a great choice as the morning rainstorm kept the crowds away longer than usual. Not every Saturday you can ride all...

That comment made me laugh. It would just move the line back to the much more dangerous street. Nothing like 500 people waiting in the dark at 4 am. And Disney saying putting out a press release to say they wouldn’t allow lining up before xyz time wouldn’t do much. They don’t exactly have the...

Yes to your question that all of your group must be in before you can join a boarding group (if you are making the group for all of them... I did it for mine) The advantage to going through security without a bag is it’s faster. No bags to check. Just go through the scanners. So I was up to the...

Yes and no. You will go through security way before you go through the turnstiles. For example, we went through security at 520 am and then through the turnstiles when they opened the park at 640 am. I went through a bag line without a bag. It was a deliberate choice not to carry the bag as...

That was us in COP Wednesday...Serenaded to sleep by it’s a great big beautiful tomorrow. Ok. Now really off.

I do understand your point but I’ve gotten to have two amazing ride experiences when I otherwise would have had to wait two years as that’s next when I’ll return. So I guess... sorry but not sorry? 😂 I am sure they will get opportunities to work out the kinks, just not always at the most...

Maybe. But it’s running (for the most part) and every breakdown helps them fix a problem. Running with guests on it is helping Ops. At least that’s what two different ones told us. It’s just hard to pinpoint a problem in a million lines of code. Yes, I’ve seen some occasional upset guests but...

Eh... It really doesn’t feel that messy when you are physically in the park. They have a monster amount of attraction and guest relations CMs at Rise to answer questions and deal with guest issues. Break downs seem a fairly natural part of new ride life. And from my point of view, they are...
