Hey now, Frozen IS an E ticket................in Japan only. Tough luck for Florida though. :p


They definitely aren't, they're actually way too hot in recent years because Disney doesn't want to pay for proper air conditioning.

It would seem that even Elsa's attempts to make Florida cool have failed.

I went late last year, I was freezing in mostly ever ride I went on. Of course, I did go in late September so it wasn't 100 degrees.

Do we know if each version of the attraction will have a different finale based on the resort it's located in? For example, will the Epcot one end with a flyover of the Magic Kingdom?

FYI I have heard from a couple of different sources, including a certain other popular forum, that the new scents for SATW will be Ocean (different ocean scent than the one used in SOC), Rose, and Grass (different than the Forest scent in SOC).

I went to EPCOT yesterday and rode Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land and watched American Adventure. It was uncommonly cool and very nice outside yesterday for this time of year, in the 70's and getting even cooler by nighttime. Yet all three attractions were very hot inside (far hotter than the outside). SSE probably being the worst. The Land's problems are probably partially related to the busted doors to the greenhouse scenes, which are now perpetually kept in an open position (so improperly climate controlled air is travelling inside the rest of the showscenes). I have no doubt that the improper climate control results in the opposite problem when the weather drops into the 40's during the short winter season (causing rides to get colder than they should at those times). Though the majority of the year in Florida is extremely hot (90's and 100's mostly), so the lack of air conditioning is more glaring than a lack of heat. Either way, the climate control is very poor in most areas at WDW these days, and these issues were actually discussed on these forums a few years ago and confirmed by people with connections inside the company. One of the few places I still feel has good climate control is inside one of the buildings for Innoventions (an empty corridor near a character meet n greet that has a timeline of EPCOT's attraction history on the wall).

The monorails and even boat transport are also sweltering in the hotter months for the past few years. And all the times i've ridden Little Mermaid at MK the air conditioning has been extremely poor (there's even a place where additional cool air is supposed to blast you as you go below the "water surface", an effect that doesn't work when the air is not cool).

I haven't really noticed this and that Mermaid effect just worked for me. Maybe I can take heat better? Idk.
Edit: Haunted Mansion was comfortably cool as well.

Worked fine for me. I was cool. What's more to say?

The Epcot one should end with a flyover of Epcot (but don't quote me on that). DCA's should end with DCA and Shanghai's will end with Shanghai. Nobody has any clue about DisneySea's.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like SSE is an oven lately.
I've just come off a trip to WDW with Epcot being today and, honestly, have no idea what you're talking about. No attraction I went on was uncomfortably hot at all. @MerlinTheGoat mentioned LWtL as an example and I felt nice cool air through the whole thing. I really don't get this one and mean no disrespect.

It's the classic wife is hot husband is cold situation lol
Well I'm a guy and was too hot. I admit to getting hot easily but this temperature issue has only been present during the past year or two. My mom also rode it, and she generally has the opposite issue from me with tolerating cold (this has always been the case but she is getting older now and age can often make cold conditions difficult to tolerate) but she also agreed it was way too hot. So in this case we both agreed.

Perhaps it depends on the day. But i certainly wasn't the only one who noticed the ac being off, it was discussed here a year or two ago. I think some insiders here even directly confirmed Disney has been doing this lately.

The real question... Will Puddy be back when they reopen?

I'm hoping for an updated video featuring Patrick.
