    FoP from 1st Experience

    I agree. However, a ton more can be done. Instead of walking the people to the ride, queue them before the area even opens. They are assigned a "loading" number on their ticket or MB. This way they know the exact order people arrived and there is no need for pushing. Maybe not specifically an...

    FoP from 1st Experience

    It just takes a massive lawsuit in a situation that they can easily control.

    A day of broken rides at WDW

    It had nothing to do with them not enjoying a ride. It is more about having an easier way for them to load in and not disrupt a ride for so long. TSMM has a perfect system. They load in a much easier access area. Once loaded, the ride vehicle is integrated into the ride system. This way they are...

    FoP from 1st Experience

    All they need to do is have security spotters watching, radio to where the queue entrance starts, and have another security team there to deny access, shut their MB down until the exit the park and re-enter. It worked wonders at Busch Gardens Williamsburg when the Griffin opened. They walked...

    What would a disney buyout mean for Disney parks?

    If Disney sold the parks, Disney would be over. It is as simple as that. The family would never allow it to happen. Disney is in no way hurting for money, in need of selling or anything else. They could shave off the money drains like ESPN.

    A day of broken rides at WDW

    It sounds like you followed a group of people in ECVs and/or wheelchairs. I wish all rides had a separate load zone like TSMM for people with disabilities. This way they just slide the vehicle in order from the side instead of stopping the entire ride. I did run into another family we talked...

    FoP from 1st Experience

    I agree. If they would have just followed the pack and went the pace of the crowd control, they would have been on the first ride and off by 7:15AM. Even if it was the second round of rides, they would have been out by 7:25AM. It is ridiculous at how some people think their time is more...

    FoP from 1st Experience

    We were able to do FoP 3x on our trip. 2 at rope drop and 1 with FP. I just wanted people to know at rope drop there is a lot of pushing. Most of it is accidental with a huge crowd. The other incident was what I would consider unique. Just a family thinking they were better than everyone. I am...

    FoP from 1st Experience

    It was at the point where you turn past Tiffens and are at the bridge. The CMs stopped us several times leading up to the point where FoP goes right and NR goes left. The family was just a bunch of idiots plowing through people.

    FoP from 1st Experience

    They can do a TON and they do watch it happen. The problem is they are not permitted to do anything. In my case, it was a family forcefully pushing people, moms, dads, kids, all out of the way to get to the front while CMs are safely walking people. These people are creating a hazardous...

    FoP from 1st Experience

    OK, I admit, I was skeptical of this attraction. It far exceeded my expectations. The theming, queue, and ride itself are all great. It is a rope drop ride without FPs, period. What I was not expecting though is the fighting to get on the ride. The 2 morning we went, we got there an hour or a...

    Flight of Passage, How Does it Rank at WDW in E-Tickets?

    As a huge skeptic of this ride until I rode it, it has to be the best ride at WDW right now. It is hard to compare the e-ticket rides because most of them are different. Simulator, drop ride, gravity coaster, high speed coaster. FoP is the best and most immersive ride at WDW. Regardless whether...

    Distance to stay from Disney?

    After staying offsite by a little bit (192 and 429), that was too far for me. I would NEVER stay that far away again for parks. That is about 45 minutes closer than you are looking at.

    Observations from our trip

    It was drizzling rain, so that may have come into play. I had to crank ISO up to 6400. I had to drop speed so low that I could not get the motion shots fast enough.

    Observations from our trip

    We just got back. I took my Olympus TG-4, Canon D7, and cellphone. Lost the cellphone on day 1 when something cracked the glass over the lens. Below are my observations... Olympus TG-4 When taking still images, while not walking, outdoor images with proper lighting are very good. However, many...

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    90 minutes until we start our drive down. Should arrive in Jville around 6:30PM depending on weather and traffic.

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    We will be there tomorrow!!! Unfortunately, I may be coming home to no job. That is frightening, but it is not going to ruin another Disney trip. Every time we go, something like this has come up the last 3 trips. This time, it is not going to ruin it for us.

    Found this Kilimanjaro Safaris review on reddit-this person can't be serious.

    This post is all for lawyer fishing. They are going to file a lawsuit against Disney because her kids now have concussions, emotional distress of almost losing their lives, and ruining their entire vacation. It is a $$$ grab.
