That number takes into account 'churn'. That's how many employees Disney has had since 2006. I think currently they are somewhere around 67k.

Apparently this guy was going to USF almost every day and on those days he was going to every single showing of Beetlejuice. During HHN he would go to every night and every showing of Bill and Ted. It also seems that he was a bit stalkery with the actors and actresses on the shows. I don't know...

PhotoDave is correct. 35 / 70000 = .0005 .0005 * 100 = .05%

Except that you can purchase two park express passes through their website.

Maybe he agrees. :D

Lines for Gringott's are reportedly 6 hours now...

I've heard that the work was completed but Disney and the refurbisher are quarreling over costs and that's put the engine herself in legal limbo.

Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express should be in technical rehearsals today. The word from a team member friend is that there is absolutely no way that Gringotts will open before tomorrow. And even then it will likely be limited to three cars on the track at a time.

Express can usually be purchased as a standalone add-on once in the park. If you're hopping though you may need to purchase express in each park separately. It also looks like you can buy it beforehand here: https://tickets.universalorlando.com/Ticket-Store/PurchaseTickets.aspx?ExpressPlus...

I'm hearing from friends that Hogwarts Express is currently in Technical Rehearsal (Soft open).

Lockheed Martin MST is on the UCF side of town and has plenty of land there on which to expand.

No, as long as you are in line before the normal park closing hours (ie before the hard ticket event or EMH begins) then you will be allowed to ride. Once you exit the ride you will basically have to leave the park though.

Odds are good for July. I'd say that it would require a major catastrophe for it to not be open before this month is out.

It's not open nor does it look ready to open anytime in the next few weeks. The dragon is still under wraps and work is still occurring in the front area. There are reportedly issues with the fire mechanism on the dragon that are still being worked. I've also heard from team members that there...

There's a lot of cool stuff in there but it is a bit expensive. The trashcan salt and pepper shakers are $9 ea and the plates run about $15 ea. Yeah, I spent over $100 in there yesterday. :geek: I was mostly excited about the Tiki Room stuff and the Orange Bird stuff. I'll be back later when my...

By the way, those trees are slash pine and they grow about 50 inches a year....

The mommy bloggers are a slightly different beast. They were somebody's pet project (AFAIK) at Disney and got invited to a lot of things they shouldn't have been.

I understand the feeling that ITM is not a great brand advocate and that maybe they're not un-biased because of the freebies. But all the continuing talking about him here (along with Lou Mongello and countless others) is really doing is driving traffic their way. How many people here are...

And this matters how...? People here are singularly fascinated with Mr Brigante and it's a bit obsessive IMO. :cool:
