I specifically said it wouldn't be elaborate.

They should be able to get that in by summer 2019, just ahead of Ratatouille.

I also heard they were considering adding a second queue, dedicated solely for fastpass+ and boozy World Showcase guests.
Forget trying to FP it. For $94, you can have an Epcot Magic After Hours experience in the park for three hours after the park closes. The only ride that will be open is this Mary Poppins Carousel.

I could have sworn it was Feather, but I can't find the post anywhere
It's been said (I think by Martin) that the attraction would be anywhere from a B to a D ticket, but if the attraction is relatively easy to put in, I'm going to guess that it's something small (like a carousel) with a M&G next door. If Disney wants synergy, what would be better than a small Poppins-themed ride, and the chance to meet Mary and Bert/Lin-Manuel Miranda adjacent to it?

Question: What rides at WDW constitute as a B to D ticket. What's the classification?
I think the Carousel in MK is a B.
I would consider Grand Fiesta Tour to be a C
Frozen/Little Mermaid to me are D level rides.

Okay, perhaps I'm missing something, but what are these level based on? Popularity? Capacity?
Is a D attraction better than a C? Trying to learn this terminology.

It's more of a feeling. Level of detail, scal, and scope, mostly, but it's highly subjective. Es need to master all three. Highly detailed with tremendous scaleand scope. Like Mansion. Big Thunder. Splash. The carousel is detailed but misses the other two. I fault Midway Mania for missing on detail. Otherwise, it'd be an E.

Interesting, okay thanks for explaining. Out of curiosity, why do you feel MWM is missing detail? I really enjoy their queue.

Because the ride itself is all flat walls.
It refers to the original ticket books that guests bought. They were ride coupons and you only had so many A's, B's, C's, D's, and E's. E-Ticket were the biggest and best.
For example, the following required the following tickets at some point or another:
A: Omnibus, Horse Cars, Main Street Vehicles
B: Swiss Family Robinson Tree House
C: WDW Railroad Steam Train, Peter Pan's Flight, Toad, Snow White's Scary Adventures
D: Skyway, Country Bear Jamboree, Hall of Presidents
E: It's a Small World, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion
Of course, this has all now changed (and it's really all relative to the person now that the ticket books don't exist), but I believe the terminology is still used inside the company.

That's the issue. I don't detest appropriately-utilized screens as much as some. They make some effects possible (and reliable) that wouldn't work as well with practical effects. They can also add depth (imagine four AA Storm Troopers interacting with guests and hundreds shown seemlessly on screens behind. The effect would be impressive). But, they should complement, not supplement physical sets. If Midway Mania had physical sets and AAs with a clear story between games, it'd be a clear E.
The queue is nice and builds a story (whether or not everyone finds it compelling). But it leads to a warehouse where we play a 3D video game, which you can now do from home.
I get that, and agree with most of it - but it is supposed to set the story that you've been shrunk down to the size of a toy, and you're playing these games under Andy's bed where's he's built this midway. A few AA's and a set or two would have been nice. Other than that, I agree that it's a great ride.

Walt Disney World built itself on story. Disneyland differentiated itself from carnivals with story.
I like the ride. I was explaining why it is not considered an E.

Understood - I guess the point I was making was do all rides necessarily need a story for them to be considered E-ticket? Are there E-tickets without a story?

Sorry for not including you in my tag...I couldn't remember who said it. But afterwards, everyone started going into super elaborate wishlist attractions...when we are probably getting an Alice in Wonderland Hedge Maze.
