    Minor missing show effect that bugs you

    Last time we rode it in October there was not a single effect that worked. It was like someone flipped a switch. Not a single AA moved, no bouncing tigger, no disappearing pooh, no smoke ring, not even the water ripples in the rain. I mentioned it to the CM when I got off that every single...

    News Space Mountain exit being worked on

    What they should do is have odd number parties go one way and evens the other, similar to SDD.

    News Park attendance showing significant softness heading into the Fall 2018

    Well we had a FP so neither! But Im pretty sure the mouse knows the actual waits but chooses a high or low time to either get guests in line or stay away based on demand. Honestly I don't think they are realistic anymore and are just used for crowd control.

    Just to throw another wrench at all the naysayers. Let's contemplate FP. It is available to everyone. It is guaranteed that people in standby don't know it exists or that you have to pay for it. Should you also be considerate and stop to explain that to them or just give them your FP? They...

    Actually I just use mobile ordering now and bypass ALL the lines. ;)

    The other person waits in line hoping to get handed the promotion due to time put in. (Which many places still do, although it's getting fewer). The other person performs better and is hopefully rewarded. There are no guarantees but working hard and paying attention usually pan out instead of...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I don't think the ancient sky ride at Busch Gardens is that noisy. Why do we think this one will be?

    If my friends and family were there, they would be with me and I would show them how to efficiently move through the theme parks. Life has limited advantages. People are successful because they take action. I would never cut someone in line but if there are 2 or more lines and 1 is...

    It's exactly the same thing. If someone is too dense to join an open/shorter line, why would I say anything?

    Line Jumpers/Line Stallers

    For those arguing that going to the other cashier side is cutting, what are your thoughts on the parking booths? Most vehicles go on the side with the driver window and the middle lanes. So if I go to the other side with no cars or the end lanes with no cars am I also cutting?

    Rate the roller coasters

    Filling in the blanks: Mission Space orange- 5 Splash - 5 Tower- 6 Primeval- I hate this ride so much I don't even know whether to rank it high/low. It's so painful.

    Rate the roller coasters

    I would say RNRC 7, Everest 6, Space 5, BTMRR 4-5, Slinky and SDMT 2-3, and Barnstormer 1. I could ride Everest and BTMRR on a loop all day and not get bored. I also enjoyed Slinky. I enjoy Space but it's not a must ride. SDMT is decent but short and eh. I only ride Barn when the little...

    We've stayed at the Springhill suites 4 times now. No traffic, no parking fees, nice rooms, free breakfast, low cost, nice amenities, amazing short drive onto property. Shh, don't spoil our little Paradise hideaway!

    Were the lines really shorter back in the day or do we imagine this?

    I've been going since the 80's and yes I remember waiting awhile for rides but so was everyone else. The walkways, stores, and restaurants were not as crowded because people were in lines. Even though there was waiting you were constantly in motion and the waits never seemed that long even...

    News Park attendance showing significant softness heading into the Fall 2018

    They definitely inflate. The other day I had a FP for Peter Pan and got stopped by the CM computer. So of course I had to look. It had a box for posted standby wait time that listed it at 60 minutes and then a box next to it that said actual standby wait time and it said 12 minutes. Disney...

    Can you swim on the beaches of the Seven Seas Lagoon?

    I would swim in the lagoon even today. Just not at dawn or dusk. Not any different than any other Florida lake. In 2006 they still had triathlon swimmers in it.
