We had an issue with cutting opening day but mercifully had fop fps yesterday. While the line winds through pandora there really isn't any possible way to regulate it but someone with a bunch of pongu pongu drunks tried to get in and meet family. The cm at the attraction entrance told them that beyond the entrance to the ride they wouldn't be able to catch up. The cm held firm and the drink holders jumped in line behind me. Still cut the hour of people behind them but at least didn't cut everyone else.

Also yesterday around 3 one of the two bays went down so the line was slower. They kept announcements going that there was a delay and we had a bunch of people leave even the fp line but it wasn't awful. From entering the fp line to riding took a half hour.

Also as of yesterday afternoon they still had ap magic bands and shirts. Hope anyone who is there today has fun!

I don't mean to sidetrack the thread, but this sentiment always puzzles me. My QS burger spot at WDW is Backlot Express and they're always quite good. Not as excellent as Big River but fair quality and quantity for the price. Where are people buying the rubber burgers I'm always reading about?

My main complaint was when they had the toilet-paper buns for a while -- the ones that would disintegrate in your hands while you were trying to eat your burger. I'm glad they fixed that problem.

I think they were having problems earlier in the afternoon, at least. We were stuck in the pre-show room for several minutes. And again several minutes waiting g for the ride to start. Both times with no Cm present or even a recorded speil, which was really weird.

That happened to us during our preview. During the preshow when the guy on the screen said he'll be back in a minute, absolutely nothing happened for about three or four minutes. Like you said, no pre-recorded spiel, no cast member announcement, nothing happened on the screen… We weren't sure if that happens every time or If maybe that pause can change its length every time to coincide with some hold up in the ride that is currently going on.

That's actually not bad at all for opening weekend. We waited longer than that with our FPs in the Frozen line - and that was months after the ride opened (and during a supposedly "slower" time.)

Thats because Frozen is a very rough ride.

Disney if you're reading this I can provide the ladies who can strip, juggle chainsaws and sing opera for half the price you've been quoted.

For all your entertainment needs forget the rest, I'm your guy :cool:

I've noticed the FOP wait times have been fluctuating wildly all weekend. It will be interesting to see what the average ends up being. I've seen 4 hour waits that were only 3 and 2 hour waits that ended up being 4. Pretty crazy!

It isn't every time but only if there is a delay. It's pretty clever actually.

I doubt that there is some secret cabal to bash Disney, but there are some people that have taken off the rose colored glasses, are grumpy by nature, remember the golden days of Disney when service and cleanliness were impeccable, etc.
