All right! Another update now in session! And here we go....

  • The overall crowd levels were a bit moderate today.

  • TSMM was 30 minutes at opening, teetered to 50 and back, but its highest was about 75 min. ToT, though had a high of 65 by 1:30pm; most of the time was around 20-40 min.

  • I noticed a Hot Set stage by the Hat and by the Public Library in New York Street. It wasn't used by HSM, so what's its purpose?

  • VoTLM's entrance sign seems to taken a bolder look, without any of the film's main characters above it. It also looks like Fastpass distribution wasn't available that day.

  • There is now G-Force merch everywhere. UP has been pushed out. Seems to me they're pushing this film greatly.

  • Vinylmation Clear is now being sold at Villains Vogue & Mickey's of Hollywood.

  • Was able to see the change for The Princess and The Frog at The Magic of Disney Animation. It looks likes it would be an interesting film. Though for some reason, the Prince reminds me of Aladdin, and the Doctor reminds me of Ursula, (well, in what he does.) :hammer:

  • Apparently, Monsters has invaded DHS. They are first going to start in Pooh's of Hollywood, and then do a massive takeover with its "weird cuteness". :lookaroun

Great photo of the outdoor queue at ToT, makes me want to get in line.
Unfortunately it's going to be a long time before I do that again. :(

I believe they are in the process of removing Fast Pass all together from VotLM, since it doesn't have the FP symbol by it anymore on the map. LMA! doesn't have Fast Pass either anymore...

  • They put them up for conventions which were on both sat 18th and sun 19th, and i'd expect them to be up all week as my hubbys scheduled to work after park close a number of times this week for conventions. (studios gets alot of conventions which buy out the park, i can recall about 30 whilst i was on my 6 month college program - DAK also gets alot. EPCOT seems not to have them buying out the park that often and MK usually has 1 or 2 park buyouts, I went to a interest session with magic kingdom events team last year and because of the general attendance at the park there are usually only 2 or 3 nights in aa year were a company is actually able to buy out MK.)

The after hours events at the Studios are common. A lot of large corporates rent out large areas - usually Indy Stunt Show theater or the Streets of America.

various for different reasons sometimes its booked out for convention attendees on site, other times by charities such as make a wish, schools and companys as a day out for employees.

I was there on Saturday as well. We got Evac'ed from TOT. Our car stopped half way in as it was going into the cage for the drops. So wished I had ny camera. The maintenace guys where taking pictures of people in the car for those that had cameras with them. The car was backed up by remote and we had to take the lift back down and rode the other side.
It was the echo side as this was what was mentioned when they tried to reboot the ride.

^ When was that? I noted there was a problem with half the tower around 6pm. I recall the shorter route was roped off in the Boiler Room.

Oh, and what are the names in order from left to right? I know there's Charlie, Foxtrot, and Echo. But its order always escape me.

It was about 10ish in the morning, we had just done Toy Story and then went to ToT it had a 30min wait at the time. It was the far lift shaft, the one without the hotel sign on the front.
