- Most of the unnecessary Fastpass+ attractions did not generate long waits that I could see (things like The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Spaceship Earth, etc).
- The exception has been at the Magic Kingdom where Pirates and The Haunted Mansion are still drawing longer than normal waits. Pirates especially is downright puzzling, I'm beginning to subscribe @flynnibus theory that capacity has changed at the attraction.
- Buzz Lightyear has had longer than expected wait times - I speculate that this is because it's one of the Quick Picks defaults
- Wait times at Soarin', Test Track, Toy Story and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster seemed to have returned to normal thanks to the tiers. The problem is that the best attractions in Tier 2 seem to see spikes in wait times as a result (Tower of Terror & Mission: SPACE). I would love to see if @lentesta has seen any spikes in any attractions (the two that I mentioned and Buzz Lightyear)
- I had the Test Track ride from hell tonight. My wife and I went single rider and were in two separate cars. After getting a good laugh at the South American gentleman sitting next to me that was legitimately puzzled by the lack of a full seatbelt (he took the lap belt and somehow got it over his shoulder and buckled), the ride began. There had been announcements saying that the wait was going to be longer than expected due to some technical issues, but that's pretty much par for the course for Test Track. For those familiar with the attraction, when there is an issue, there's a hard emergency stop and the car "creeps" to the next zone. I don't know if that's always the case in all areas of the attraction, but that's what we experienced and what I had heard before.
- I had 7 hard emergency stops, and we crept through the first two tests.
- I spent the Responsiveness (cornering) and Power (outdoor portion) bracing myself for a hard stop. Even at the low speeds in the first test it ran the risk of giving someone whiplash.
- I went up to a CM at the end of the attraction and he gave a stock response, apologizing for the poor ride. I wasn't satisfied with this and moved onto another cast member nearby and that cast member explicitly said that they need manager approval to shut down the attraction. I told him it wasn't safe and they were going to hurt someone. Show issues aside, they were knowingly putting guests in a situation where they could experience whiplash
- At the end of the night I stopped in guest services and voiced the same issues. The guest services CM did seem concerned, but did not ask for my name or contact information. In short, I felt unsafe on the attraction, and I've never felt unsafe in the 31 years I've been visiting Disney Parks.
- Service at the Cantina in Mexico is awful. I knew this from a previous trip, but someone told me to go back. The food is good, but the service is atrocious.
- We had a large group and it was broken up into 4 separate orders. Person 1 orders his food, gets it rather quickly (after dropping his soda, they give him a replacement). I'm person #2 and I put in my order for myself and my wife.
- The cashier prints out 3 receipts. I'm not sure what the first receipt is, but the 2nd receipt is the one that I sign. This was stapled to the 1st receipt and placed in a plastic accordion folder that people use for couponing or other organizing of paper (I actually use one to organize Disney Park Maps).
- She then hand writes our order number on the receipt and gives it to me (the order # is already on the receipt).
- Group #3 and #4 order their food and receive their food.
- Group #3 is my sister and her drink was supposed to be in a salted glass and light ice. They take a new glass, salt it, pour the drink into the new glass holding back some of the ice. They then pour in a bit more of the drink. This was in lieu of making a new drink.
- After Order #4 gets their food I ask where my food is
- A group that wasn't ours receives their food
- I get my food 17 minutes after ordering.
- We had a large group and it was broken up into 4 separate orders. Person 1 orders his food, gets it rather quickly (after dropping his soda, they give him a replacement). I'm person #2 and I put in my order for myself and my wife.
- 'Ohana is still awesome, please don't "fix" it.
- I was very pleased with Sci-Fi. I have long criticized their menu and food quality but I was very satisfied with my meal. I actually got a steak.
- The Paroon Shark Catfish exhibit was dry, does anyone know what's going on here?
- Cosmic Rays has the liquid cheese from Pecos Bill, how long has that been the case?
- Can we bring back the Chicken wrap to Pecos?
- The last time I saw Enchanted Tales with Belle was during testing, the show has improved significantly (as to be expected). The kids got a kick out of it.
- Rapunzel spent a long time interacting with my friend's daughter, I'm just kicking myself for not having my camera.
- I got a 9:45 AM paper Fastpass for Toy Story Mania, I was impressed with myself.
- We saw the Single Rider line for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster shut off because it matched the Standby wait time. I speculate this is a function of the Tiers causing guests to choose either RnRC or Toy Story
- The Single Rider Line for Expedition Everest was shut off today when the attraction had a 30 minute wait. We didn't get an explanation, but we speculated it was because they were training a new grouper and didn't want to add that component in yet.
- The Frozen Lemonade Slush seems to be slowly disappearing. It was available at TriloBites Snacks and KRNR Rock Station but is now no longer available at either location. It's still available at the Discover Island Kiosk and the Hey Howdy Hey Take Away
- Disney's Lost and Found: 2, My nephew: 0
- It's possible that our attempts to confuse a younger member of our party by giving her a golf ball on Soarin' backfired.
- Toto in the Great Movie Ride is more spastic than Sigourney Weaver
- This year's Disney Dollars have the Disney Mountains on them, they look pretty good.
- Camp Minnie Mickey has been removed from the Animal Kingdom maps
- The Frozen Meet and Greet was in the 2 1/2 -3 hour range in Monday. Wouldn't it make more sense to put popular new characters into a character meet and greet at a restaurant to drive up demand at a struggling locale?
