Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

[doctornick]

That's why I think TRON is somewhat OK for MK... it's basically a second track for Space.

Now, WDW could replace Space's tracks with higher occupancy trains...

Even better would be more 'family friendly' coasters in the other three parks. Seems like you can never have enough of those.

I had mentioned/asked in some thread that if indeed they end up refurbishing and retracking Space, could they convert to wider cars that seat two people side by side (like DL has) while still retaining the two different tracks with separate loading stations?

If they could do that, they could substantially increase capacity for Space.

The term "MOBS" I believe is a bit much. There will be more people out and about determined to spend some money and do something for the holidays, but, there are many locations and venues vying for the people & $$$ this year Disney will have no exclusive offerings.

There were qualified MOBS at WDW November and December of 2019 before the pandemic was official. Only time will tell if those kinds of MOBS return.

Who knows? Lets see what happens in November and December of 2021.

Qualified MOBS? As in professionals? 2021 is not 2019.

I’ve noticed they’ve been displaying return time on the newly anointed Lightning Lane signs. Don’t think these were on before the renaming. What would be the rationale for having them on? Making sure they work?

Maybe it’s a courtesy for the guests whose phones have died from checking the My Disney Experience app all day.

It would require a complete rebuild. Not only would such trains not fit into load/unload/storage, the extra weight would probably cause too much stress on the track (not to mention clearances, effects tunnels etc). So it wouldn't be a refurb, it would essentially mean tearing everything out and building a brand new attraction.

Space mountain could really use a gut/major refurb imo. A boy can dream

To clarify, lets see if WDW gets the same overcrowding in November and December of 2021 as was seen in November and December of 2019. Only time will tell.

As far as travel plan lead times to Orlando go?

…we’re in the 2023 window now

Trial by fire.

Like a Targaryen?

Am I the only person that sees this graphic and think Genie is basically saying "Tada, here it is. I am so so so sorry about this"

 

[GhostHost1000]

I’m SO glad I canceled my October trip. Watching to see how all this plays out first

nothing like ringing in the 50th celebration with a firestorm

Well I'll be there the first week, so I am fully expecting Disney's IT to live up to expectations on launch day.

@wdwmagic have they put up lightning lane signage at guest relations yet?

…but you’re going.

I have to call pest services and get tickets converted to APs (no rush)…

…so who wins?

My hope is that so few buy this that it doesn’t matter. An easy move would be to include the $15/day version at certain classes of resort hotel.

It shocked me they didn’t do that as a stay on-site incentive.

Anything would be nice…

…but it would be the most shocking thing ever. If they are throwing it in…they have bigger troubles than not selling fast pass.

I hope it happens…actually
