There's fast motion and surprises, but nothing crazy intense. It's tough to think of something to compare the intensity to ... maybe think of Dinosaur at AK, but with more smooth rather than jerky movements.

You can feel the motion, but it's rather like the stretching room of Haunted Mansion -- combined with the video screens, you think it's part of the simulated ship take-off experience and you'd be inclined to guess that you're not actually moving at all.

Along with the guest reactions when they see where the door has opened. There were audible gasps, and a "Dude, that's sick!" from a Millennia -- that alone earns the ride serious respect! 😅

A set of new scenes running this morning — pretty cool in my book!

I'm starting to think I'm looking forward to the new scene in Star Tours more than the new movie ;)

I'm sure it's easy for this to get lost in all the Rise of the Resistance news, but has anyone heard anything recently on the Star Tours update? I'm particularly keen to know if is really is likely to be held until December 20th, or if it might get previewed earlier that week.

That's my expectation too. The queue will probably be themed to seem like you're going through the station / base on your way to where the Falcon is parked. My guess is that close to the end of the queue you'll probably turn a corner and then walk out to where you're under the ship so you can...

TRON IP may not be quite to the level of Ratatouille or GotG, but it does have a solid following. I know a number of people who are as excited about this ride (if not more so) than they were for the new Star Wars areas. Give the rest of Tomorrowland another refresh with the TRON look, and I'd be...

I watched that off the DVR this evening -- and I'm so used to the hat being called the BAH that it was weird when it was called something else on the show! :D

I'm amused that they've made this announcement the same week that a real life royal engagement was announced. I won't be surprised if the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton brings a resurgence of interest in princesses and royalty... at which time Disney will quietly retract this...

The World of Color show out at California Adventure does some great things with full spectrum lasers, and they are quite bright too (though WoC has a much smaller "stage" to illuminate). If they're bringing the same or similar technology to RoE, I think people should be very pleased with the...

Since it's run by the same company that runs Naples Ristorante at Downtown Disney at Disneyland, I expect it will have both a counter service and a sitdown area, with pizza and sandwiches available for CS and a more extensive menu including pasta at the sitdown restaurant. Of course, with Tutto...

Unfortunately, as the Noodle Station it apparently wasn't very popular (though the time I ate there the food was pretty tasteless so I'm not that surprised), but of course it doesn't make sense for them to call it the "Noodle Station" if they're just going to sell hamburgers. I expect there's...

We were down at WDW over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday), and fortunately we were mostly there for the nice weather and Christmas shows. Crowds weren't too bad on Saturday morning, probably because many people were out late the night before. By afternoon there were many more crowds and the...

I remember the tram tour back when it went through a real "backlot" area, and walking through the sound stages, but I don't recall back to the very early days of picking up the tram at the front of the park or taking it through New York street. Was there much to see along that first stretch in...

The Noodle Station was open when I was there the Saturday before New Years and doing good business even after the 9:30pm fireworks show. Admittedly that was during a very busy time of year. While it was open and I was looking forward to eating there for the first time, I can't really recommend...

I rode SSE on 12/30 (after waiting in the longest line I've ever been in for the attraction) and came away with mixed feelings. The new audioanimatronics look great and much more fluid and dynamic than before. The storyline / narration seemed rather rough and uneven. I think they've had a...

If you're using the Magical Express service, do you have to take the bus to your assigned hotel for check-in right away? We're arriving at the airport in the evening and want to get to the Magic Kingdom as soon as possible since we're doing Mickey's NSS Halloween Party that same night. Even...

Too old? Never! My parents have taken brother and I and our significant others (no childred) to Disney World twice for family reunions. We're all in our 30's (except my parents of course) and have a great time and are looking forward to trip #3. In fact, I think my parents (in their 60's) enjoy...

More Real Food Is A Good Thing You may be in the minority, but you're certainly not alone. I've never been keen on buffets either, and I'm happy to see more table service. I'd have been happier with a broader menu with some other vegetarian options. I think part of the point of DisneyWorld...
