What are the wait times?

It was ~300 around park opening, but now it's around 100, the highest in the park (Barely.)

That’s not terrible.

@lentesta & TouringPlans had the park at a 10 out of 10 today and the resort as an 8 out of 10. All things considered, the wait times at DHS seem somewhat manageable. It also helps that they were on to back up boarding groups by 11 AM.

Some Longer posted wait times from around WDW right now:

135: FOP
125: Jungle Cruise?? (BTMRR, Spash, and HM are down)
95: 7D, MMRR
85:Space, TT
80: SWGE:SR
75: Pan
70: FEA
65: NRJ, Safari
60:Buzz, SDD

Everything else is under an hour

I might be wrong but I remember reading something about MMRR being delayed because when issues were discovered in Rise’s trackless system, Imagaineering realized those same issues existed in MMRR. Not sure how true this is though.

And in terms of reliability, it’s been hinted at that the major issues left to deal with in Rise are the elevators, something that MMRR doesn’t have.

Sure. Disney has no experience with rides with drop elevators. Oh wait....

I heard that guy is really nice but somewhat egotistical

You joke but I actually saw someone go off on a rant about Martin about 2 months ago on Twitter.

Jealousy i bet. I just like to pick on him occasionally, my comments towards him will always be in jest

I love a nice tribute...

Because disney appears to want to distance themselves from the movie

How? Roger Rabbit Cartoon Spin is still at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.

I should have a 360 video up courtesy of VirtualWDW soon.

This ride in VR should be great. Have to break out the ol’ mobile headset.

FWIW, they've been hovering between 1.5 and 2 hrs most of today... not bad considering it's opening day in my opinion...

I’m waiting for people to spin this as proof of failure.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Pssh..Not like they were doing that in Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin..

I need a cold shower...

I'm not bad, I was just roped into this.

Okay, so we have seen the Mickey and Minnie side of the story....What about this Chuuby side story they were hyping up about....No footage of that yet...

For some reason they are stating he has some role in the story..

An imagineer said there'd be a "B story." Then they introduced Chuuby, which made some think Chuuby was the "B Story", but Chuuby just adds to the singing in the opening and closing scenes.

I guessed it was Pluto chasing the basket since he's featured on the poster with the basket. There are a few scenes with Pluto and the basket, which makes me think that that was the B Story... though, a very weak one since there are too many scenes in which he doesn't appear, and when he does appear, there isn't much going on. I would have expected seeing him being more actively chased by critters wanting the basket and Pluto more actively chasing the basket.
