That's @WDWFigment and company. Ask them what was going on with the phone.
I was just about to post that it looked like him. (Duh, I get it now that the pic was from his site. I thought the poster had seen it at DL and posted it here. Never mind, need more caffeine...)

Here's an E Ticket from 1976.Ok... I've seen the term E-ticket being used to reference rides all over the place, and I know this sounds silly but I can't figure out what that means lol. Anyone willing to exlain?
Not trying to change the subject, just figured I'd be more likely to get a clear answer where I can easily point to the context of the term. Thanks!

I wonder how many people actually think of those as e-tickets still.

I never would have... I wasn't even thought of in 1976
To me, "e-ticket" usually means "electronic ticket"... lol. I wonder if I'm the only person under 35 around here who was wondering where that term came from in terms of WDW and current rides.

Disney sold a great magnet set of the original ticket books a few years ago:

Are the walls still up around the que area? I think once those come down we will start to see Soft Openings.
Anyone have update pictures from today?

I really wanted to go over there today but I know this week is going to be a MAD HOUSE in the parks and I just can't bare to bring myself to do it. Someone always posts to twitter first thing in the morning when walls are removed or if there are cast members standing outside the area and its already noon so I assume it looks the same today.

Going to be in the World this week starting on Wednesday, I will be stalking the thing for soft openings so I'll keep you posted.

I plan be in MK late on April 27, then all day April 30 and May 1. How do the soft openings normally work? And what are Media events like? Should I alter my plans?
We are just a few days way from the Magic!
Soft openings tend to occur in clusters of a couple of hours. It opens for a few hours, then closes. It tends to be kinda random, and it is very easy to miss.
Media events will generally close the entire area, with no guest access.

If I do not catch a ride on the new ride, "Oh Bother". I'm still going to Disneyworld!

Cms wouldn't wear construction vests, that's imagineering or the workers one or the other.

I believe the waving one is Chris Beatty, lead designer for New Fantasyland.

If the lead designer is riding it, it must be almost ready for soft openings.

Why? The design team rides a new attraction many, many, many, many, many times before opening.

And they can get many, many, many, many, many ride-throughs per day since there is no queue to deal with for them.
Guesstimating a seven minute attraction length, working 8 hour days 5 days a week they could get in 342 rides in a week.
