Excellent - guess that means we'll start to see changes to the exterior and incorporate the tree. Anyone know how long this is expected to take?

5 months? really? Any idea what could take that long?

Yeah the whole queue area is being completely reworked to provide some new enhancements while waiting. It will be a semi-nextgen queue.

My excitement was limited to the facade, but now I am also looking forward to how the queue will turn out.

Why don't they just remove fastpass for Winnie the Pooh. Just like Peter Pan it does not need fastpass and would probably operate better without it.

Any time I look at Peter Pan, it has a line winding around the building and almost into Liberty Square. Can't fathom why. I waited out the line and have never been more disappointed with a Disney attraction. But without a Fastpass, there'd be people near Splash Mountain waiting in line for Peter Pan.

You want to talk about an attraction that doesn't need Fastpass? They're gonna have to wipe a lot of DUST off the Philharmagic Fastpass machines to use them for Pooh. Beyond never EVER having to use a Fastpass for it, I've never seen a line for it actually get outside the building. Or anywhere close. This was a totally natural choice.

My wife and two girls love the Peter Pan ride. However, it's way short and we would NEVER wait in line...always get a FastPass. I am always surprised at how long the wait is on that ride no matter when it is.

On the other hand, I think the Pooh ride is very disappointing and will only be riding it because my daughter requested it. However, we will only FastPass it as well cuz (for some reason) that line is way long all the time too.

Not true, because there never were people near Splash Mountain waiting in line for Peter Pan in the decades before FastPass.

Fastpass slows the regular line down to a crawl sometimes, and is a flawed system. Removing FP for that type of ride would make the regular line go faster

I like how people usually think that without fastpass the lines for the attractions would be extremely long, when pretty much the opposite is true. I work at an attraction that uses fastpass and I can say it is an old system that needs to be overhauled or removed entirely. If we didn't have fastpass the attraction could constantly loaded from the standby line without having to stop it to accept the hordes of people that are coming up in the standby line. I know people that have worked attractions before fastpass was introduced and they would say on a typical busy summer day their attraction would usually get to an hr wait maybe a little more but now with fastpass in the summer the wait can usually get up to over 2 hrs on a busy day.

Soon you might be hearing words like Melodic Mushrooms, Squeeze Beets, Tigger's Bounce, Pop Up Radishes, Gopher Hole, Eeyore's Stick House, Bee Hives and Honey Flow. :animwink:

Maybe because there are so many strollers outside that people don't realize it's actually an attraction. :lol:

Not the least bit true.
