    New Evolv AI security scanners & bag-check procedures implemented at the parks

    I wonder if this is why Disneyland never went to using this system. I’ve heard reasons ranging from “too many bad things got through when DL tested it” to “the union for security folks fought against it.” I will say, the DL security lines were some of the most frustrating lines in the park...

    Soarin' new ending ?

    So, do I see both the Celebration Garden floor lights and the Comminicore Hall wall lights on at the same time? Were they ever both functional at the same time, or did they CGI one/both of them in?

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    I salute you and your staff, good sir. I loves me some data. I bet you heard “Help me, Smee!” in your nightmares, though.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure Virtual Queue and Lighting Lane status

    A scant 18 minutes from a perfect day of being open from rope drop to close, with no downtime. Of course, I guess they could have stopped calling BGs 18 mins early in order to clear the line by a reasonable time, instead of for a technical breakdown. Has Tiana had a perfect day yet?

    Active Shooter Scare/Lockdown at Magic Kingdom (Ended up being no shooter)

    A couple reports on Twitter, some about moving guests backstage, some about not letting folks leave. One with a video of what looks like guests listening to a CM in the bypass, but it’s hard to tell if it’s current or old. Could just be circular reporting, or something really happening. Edit...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    There's enough land here to hold all the ideas and plans we could possibly imagine… but we really don’t need it for Magic Kingdom. We can squeeze all our ideas and plans in there just fine. If we get a new idea, I guess something’s just gotta go!

    I agree. But that doesn’t mean you destroy a huge part of the theming and place-making of MK to get it. “The blessing of size” and all.

    The next step in the slow, painful march towards the homogenization of all Disney parks into loosely connected IP repositories. Once again... Original Disney: World Class Theme Parks Current Disney: World Class Disney-themed Parks

    I know the weather has been crappy at WDW this afternoon, but this is an interesting Boarding Group profile. Shut down around 3:30 (weather?), but then suddenly call 35 boarding groups at once, but without the ride open?

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Here’s something I learned today that might preclude this. I’m not sure if this is a change, or if I’ve just never read about this rule. A friend of mine is there today. When selecting his LLs last week, he couldn’t find more than one tier 2 ride at DHS that his group wanted. So he chose...

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    While it’s valid to question some of the recent Imagineering choices, I’m not sure the Imagineers, per se, were the driving force behind these changes. I’m quite confident they were given a mandate to remove the existing songs, use only Disney IP songs to replace them, and make sure the new...

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    It’s never the fact that folks are disappointed to “find Disney at the world.” It’s the disappointment in finding *only* Disney IP crammed into every nook and cranny. As I’ve said before, Disney used to create world class theme parks. Now they create world class Disney themed parks. Subtle, but...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Going back to the very first page of this thread (almost 9 years ago!), and thinking about this “flex space,” it’s amazing (and sad) to see how prescient @Master Yoda was:

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    One question I had after my ride. We got stopped right before the shrinking drop, right past the sitting Tiana. I was directly across from the Louis animatronic with his head stuck in the ground. As we sat there, I noticed a vertical piece of tree/rock work directly off the right hand side of...

    Day 2 made it to BG100 around 4:40. That was the max number yesterday. It’s now been stuck on BG100 for about 20 mins. I’m wondering if they’re shutting it down after 100. Edit: Well, so much for that theory. Currently on 105.
