    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Used the new system today at DHS and have surprisingly been able to redeem all the multi-pass rides by now (1:45pm local time). I definitely prefer this to system to Genie+, but I may have had a different experience if I was staying off-property.

    News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    My fear with the lower wait times is Disney would be incentivized to intentionally run Space with less capacity. They already do it at park open.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I would certainly welcome a D on the level of Remy or Frozen. Something on the scale of Mermaid would be disappointing to me.

    News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    Seems to have been hovering at the 70-80 minute mark for the past hour or so, officially the longest wait on-property at the moment.

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Yes! It’s an excellent ride experience. Definitely a must-do E-ticket. If it was longer and had a properly themed (or better hidden) show-building, it would be among the best additions on property.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Changing the system again is mind-boggling. I don’t like the current system, but I’m sick of them changing it every year. It’s ridiculous.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I would have been in your same boat, but IMO there’s no denying that WDI has had a mixed bag of successes and failures lately. Recent WDI failures: • reliability issues with TBA, ROTR, and the EPCOT hub lighting package (to me these are undeniable) • TBA and Cosmic Rewind storylines (I’ll...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Turning Red in DAK would be far, far worse than even a Zootopia land there.

    EPCOT Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    Ditto. EPCOT is probably the easiest park to expand with genuinely new attractions. The other three parks have expansion plots but are hard to use without major infrastructure work, with DHS probably the most difficult overall.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    If anything, I would hope they view Communicore Hall as a suitable replacement for Showplace down the line… but I’m not holding my breath. This whole overhaul has felt like a mismatched game of musical chairs: Play was a better Innoventions, the Festival Center was moving from WoL to the hub…...

    News Disney After Hours at Walt Disney World

    I completely understand people’s frustration with the prices and the whole selling the park twice thing, but I will say, we did this event earlier this year at EPCOT and DHS and it was worth every penny for us. If we had tried to experience everything we wanted to in those parks during the day...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    This park has been haphazardly thrown together since its creation, and unfortunately nothing in this re-do is changing that. The 2012 DCA 2.0 redo should’ve been the blueprint: taking areas that didn’t evoke a particular theme and changing them so that guests felt transported to another time or...

    When can I purchase Lightning Lanes?

    Thank you! Is there anything I need to do to link my tickets besides make sure they appear on MDE?

    When can I purchase Lightning Lanes?

    Hi all, We will be visiting next month and are staying on-property. However, we did not book a resort package with tickets. Instead, I purchased the room and the tickets separately, because it was cheaper if opting for the limited time 3-day/3-park ticket (which excludes MK). Because we did...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… regardless of the tone of the land, there needs to be at least one truly thrilling E-ticket experience. Magic Kingdom desperately needs more mature offerings. It looks like the coaster will be that. As it currently stands, MK is the one WDW park that...

    News 2023 TEA/AECOM Global Attendance Report, EPCOT Sees Significant Growth

    I’m honestly surprised at how close Disneyland Park has come to Magic Kingdom. IMO Disneyland is the superior offering, but it functions much more as a regional park than a destination resort. I’m honestly surprised EPCOT is so high on the list. The year over year growth has to be a record for...

    News 2023 TEA/AECOM Global Attendance Report, EPCOT Sees Significant Growth

    I think the mega-E’s… the ones that combine thrill with theming and story very well, are the ones that really bring people back… Tower of Terror, Flight of Passage, Everest, and Guardians come to mind. Personally, rides that are well themed but lack thrill (Rise) or rides that are thrilling but...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Wow, a lot to unpack here. I purposely wanted to get caught up reading all the thread replies before typing up my own. I was watching a stream of the panel and turned it off when Josh got to Fortnite. I assumed that was all that was to be announced for the parks. Boy was I glad to be wrong...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    No doubt I am excited about this land… but does this really move the needle for anyone in terms of booking a trip or inspiring first-time visitors? Or is it more about improving guest satisfaction? I just can’t see this doing what Pandora did for DAK attendance when it first opened.

    Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

    A few thoughts here… 1. If the ride is somehow brought to DAK down the line, I doubt it will be an exact clone. The concept art looks far too similar to Splash Mountain/Tiana’s (notably the drop, runout, and s-curve back into the show building). It’s one thing to duplicate ride systems, but to...
