David Bowes Space Oddity lyrics changed -----too hot to work outside I'm bored
Disney board to Major Bob
Disney board to Major Bob
Take your pix dust and put your ears on
(Ten)
Disney board
(Nine)
To Major Bob
(Eight, seven, six)
Prices rising
(Five)
stocks are flat
(Four, three, two)
occupancy down
(One)
And may DVC
(Lift-off)
fill up the slack
This is Disney board to Major Bob
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave as CEO if you dare
This is Major Bob to Disney board
I'm increasing prices even more
And I'm cutting staff and perks you can see
And the numbers look very different today
For here am I sitting in my mansion
Far from Walt Disney World
Prices rising
And there's nothing I want to do
Though I'm past making 6 million a year
I'm feeling very poor
And I think my yacht knows which way to go
Tell the Disney board I'm worth more
You know
Ground Control to Major Bob
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Bob?
Can you hear me, Major Bob?
Can you hear me, Major Bob?
Can you he—
Here am I floating 'round in my yacht
Far from WDW
I'm still CEO
And there's nothing you can do

Not sure what waits you are looking at, but HS is the only park with any sort of waits whatsoever. The normal hour long waits for the big hitters are 45 minutes or less (except for Remy).
Back in the 1984 there was a song by Rock Master Scott and Dynamic Three, " The Roof is on Fire ". We would sing it to the top of our lungs in a drunken stupor in fraternity parties.
The roof, the roof the roof is on fire , we don't need no water let the #@%π burn, burn %-#@ burn!!!
Some non Disney fans may share the same sentiment on what they may think of the company.

I prefer my boxers to be about 33F.
Nothing better than the twig n berries ensconced in crisp cool undies when heading out to the parks.

Using wait-times as an indicator as to how busy a park is isn't the best choice for a variety of reasons.
- Weather - Crowds move to indoor attractions, then flood outdoor attractions when they reopen. Artificially increasing waits for those that reopen temporarily.
- Downtime - It's a serious issue at WDW, hard to use that an indicator when rides like Remy/Runaway go down often, or rides like Tower/Falcon run at reduced capacity.

Plenty of people were using them on July 4th to say it wasn't busy. Can't have it both ways.

I agree with you. But it’s the easiest way to gauge crowds for those of us not in park currently.

Currently showing at 60+ are: BTMRR, Meet Cindy, 7D, FEA, Remy, RNRC, Slinky, Rise, (TSM at 55).
FoP is at 50. MMRR is now 60, but a few min back was at 50.
If I look at rides beyond the above though, EE is only 20, Soar 15, SE 5. Safari 5, PotC 15, MS 15, smallworld 20, Jungle Cruise 30, Pooh 30, ToT 30, Imagination 15, Living w/Land 5, Nemo 5, Kali 40, HM 40.
IMO, a good number of rides look fairly slow right now, though it is the late afternoon lull period, when many take a break from the heat before dinner.

What time is the parade?
not sure. My wife was shopping so I was taken photos
she left the store, they announced a parade was coming, we moved, went closer to the start point -- saw the parade from this view point (picked the spot when we ran into the parade)....

The merchandise is good sure. The ride is meh at best. A mariokart ride should have some semblance of speed. It has none. And you miss the physical effects in the ride because of the VR, and the VR is a PITA. DH is a gamer and even he didn't like the ride.
The power bands are kinda cool, but the lines were so long to use them for the mini games that it was not worth waiting. We couldn't tell you what the food is like as the VQ for the QS location filled very quickly after opening.
All in all, while it was a nice one time visit (Universal Hollywood's version, to be clear), it wasn't spectacular and certainly nothing we will go out of our way to do again.
It was unfortunate as we both have fond memories of Mario from childhood, and DD loved the new movie. I wanted it to be so much better than it actually was.

I agree the Mario ride was poop but the atmosphere is fantastic plus this will have the Toshiba ride and the donkey Kong ride too.

The theming is well done - though very much audio-overload. They could use a better balance with the background music and mini game sounds. I hope UO's is bigger In area - though it sounds like it will be at least some if there's 2 more attractions. That could help some of the audio overload too.

When I first walked into that world, I’m telling you, my jaw dropped as I’m sure it’ll have that effect on many people as well. I think the Mario ride isn’t the market for us more for kids who will eat this up
PS I don’t know why my Siri called Yoshi Toshiba? Lol

How exclusive are the Mario rides? And are there enough other rides in the parks for little kids? That would be what I question to see if Disney guests get pushed to Universal.
