Jeff Vahle and Josh D’Amaro are out talking with guests at the America Gardens Theatre.

Upcharge on the meet and greet?

Cast Members are telling guests in line that Merchandise may take up to 4 hours to aquire. Normal day guests have not even entered the park yet.

Hurray for resellers.

The Figment cakes are all sold out.

Thats a HANGRY crowd.

Update… the line is much longer than anticipated

The ebay line is long.

So glad I ordered from the comfort of home. Honestly with Ian and the walls, I am glad we canceled our weekend trip a while ago

A lot of people had some choice words for him, myself included. They seemed very uneasy.

Curious what was said and how they responded

The Figment cakes are all sold out.

I was talking to someone earlier who said they only made 250. She was told to complain at GR, who was “well aware of the situation.” I saw people leaving the building with them around 9:30, so I guess they lasted about that long.

Meanwhile at the place where Figment Lives (AKA the Imagination Pavilion)....

Guests seem to not be affected by the recession.

Chapek Note to Self: Sell ILL for store purchases.

Don't want to wait in 4 hours of line to buy non-specific merchandise that will be available all year? Well you can spend even more money to NOT wait in line to buy non-specific merchandise that will be available all year.

That’s crazy! I wonder is anybody is selling them on EBay?

So seeing stuff on eBay already, but selling the MB+ for $60, when they are on shopdisney for $55 - even if you get an AP discount is that small mark up even worth the effort?

The commemorative park map still says that the WoL pavilion is the future home of Play. Interesting

Not exactly the best way to get them to care more about the park

Because praising bad decisions is the correct route? I mean, don't be mean to them but I'm not about to say we should celebrate everything they're doing.

I never said we should celebrate what they are doing. Honest criticism is important. However it sounded like this was more than that.

You must have been in line really close to my Dad. He’s thankful the line moved well this time.
