I was at one of the D23 showings and during the interview they claimed that all the animatronics, while still hydraulic, were rebuilt from the ground up. After seeing them in person, I don't doubt it either. It sounds silly to say, but their movement was so lifelike that it was actually...

Saw a few clips but I'm avoiding watching anything with the audio on so I can reserve my judgement until I see it in person on Saturday. How'd they do with the VA's? Do they sound like they match the originals, or are they more akin to the Vacation Jamboree/ Christmas show? Or, are they just...

Could take the classic Disneyland approach

Do we think they actually listened to feedback for once? This poster was unanimously hated when they first revealed it, even by some of the more hardcore defenders of the ride. I typically don't agree with the "it was supposed to be bad until they received backlash" comments, but in this...

Was able to ride yesterday and for anybody wondering, there was a few changes, albeit subtle. Most notably, the ride is a MUCH smoother experience overall but aside from that, it seemed to mainly just be lighting upgrades and a couple of props moved around in the queue.

It seems like the general response has either been overwhelmingly positive or overwhelmingly negative depending on who you talk to. Having finally ridden it in person recently, I found myself somewhere in the middle. All this talk about it being an upgrade or a downgrade but it truly feels like...

I honestly don't get it. There are so many other attractions on property that could benefit from these upgrades - Haunted Mansion is not one of them.

I saw this in person the other day and it is LAUGHABLY bad. To make matters worse, it's only on one of them right now making it look far worse when compared to the original (and far more convincing) effect.

if you cancel a park reservation does it also cancel your BG? Ideally would like to head straight to MK instead of scanning into EPCOT and then immediately leaving

Do we know if they're being strict with the return times? I'd imagine not with how often the ride is breaking down, but I still don't feel like driving all the way to MK only to be told I can't go on if I miss my window.

Is it even worth going to GR?

I have an MK reservation but I didn't (and have still yet to) join the VQ because I know I won't be able to get to the park until after work. Is it a dumb idea to wait until the 1 PM drop? Do we think those will go more quickly? My hesitation with getting a group now is getting an early return...

I agree that an insane amount of negativity has haunted this thread since it's conception (look at any of my old posts and you'll see me basically pleading for people to give the ride a chance) but I think it's unfair to dismiss anyone who has legitimate criticism of the ride by claiming...

That's certainly a take

No worries! Same rules apply for normal park hopper tickets too, although they've since eliminated reservations for date based tickets so I may be wrong

Not necessarily. If you don't have a reservation, you just need to wait until 2 PM to enter any of the parks. If you do have a reservation, you just need to scan into the park you have a reservation for before you can travel to another. For example, if I have an EPCOT reservation on one of the...

Wouldn't say it's guaranteed. I've only used Genie+ once or twice but I remember it working similarly to the old paper fastpass system - you reserve a LL for one ride and you can't book another until you use the first. Problem is, availability varies. Sometimes you can immediately grab a LL for...

No ILL for this one unfortunately - only Genie+

They change the rules so often it's hard to keep up with. Passholders can enter any park after 2 PM except for Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays (which is why the June 16th date was withheld in the announcement). My understanding is that if you don't have any park reservations, you can...

also, Mama Odie saying "Gee that Tiana sure knows how to throw a party!" at the end of the ride is literally no different in tone than brer rabbit sitting there going "I sure learned my lesson mr bluebird!" I would be shocked if that dialogue was featured before the drop.
