Off-property, the best budget friendly one there is

I think it's a Wyndham? I have no clue nor does anyone else, but I'll check in my email where I'm staying.

 

[MA Screamin']

Deadpool's Energy Adventure?

Oh my god... Eisner would be crying tears of joy! Ah, the beauty of appealing to young adult demographics...

See look you don't need to plan everything at WDW -- what hotel you staying at? Don't know we'll find out when we get there! Laidback pros

 

[TwilightZone]

Well I did ask what World Showcase country that was scrapped would you like to see and why, but for countries in general and why,

Oh then I would do the same thing as before. Or Belgium and do a canal ride. One of the two.

Hey we have a trip two months from now, and we don't know where we're staying either. I'm sure we'll figure something out, but maybe something Animal Kingdom thanks to it's 20th Anniversary celebration

Noted. I was hesitant about getting Coral Reef reservations as I haven't heard great things about the food (and frankly looking at it the menu's a bit underwhelming in terms of selection...) but @JokersWild insisted I do it for the Classic Epcot of it all and the bragging rights of the "dining under water" experience and I couldn't pass it up. It's the reservation I'm least looking forward to for the actual food (that would be Napolini!) but most looking forward to for the experience.

Part of the deal with Coral Reef too is where you sit. We ate there I guess 2 trips ago (food was pretty good) but we got a prime seat next to the tank. Probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if we were at the back of fhe room.

So you say that Wolverine would work in Canada? Tell me how authentic Wolverine is to Canada.

Lol it was meant tongue in cheek. I mean, Wolverine is the most famous Canadian super hero. And his Canadian heritage is pretty well known. So there are definitely worse fits I could think of. But it wouldn't be something I'd do.

But even with my more lenient than most stance towards characters in Epcot, i wouldn't ever suggest Deadpool.

I know Florida's a big state but just checking in @Flippin'Flounder @IDInstitute to make sure you guys are alright -- terribly sad what happened with that school shooting.

I’m alright too. I’ve just saw it on the news a couple of hours ago. It was then they had identified the shooter as a former student; age 19 (forgot his name).

 

[tcool123]

Well I'm sure didn't tag you as you've been active throughout the day suggesting that you were otherwise fine. He also may not have none you lived in South Florida.
On that note I'm sure @IDInstitute and @Flippin'Flounder as, unless I'm forgetting something, they don't even live in the county in which the shooting happened. It's unlikely they were physically harmed, and I hope they knew no on involved because I can't imagine having to go through anything like that on a much more personal level.

Also @IDInstitute was on around 5 PM according to his timestamp, thingy.

To lift the mood, here's the Incredibles 2 trailer:


It piqued my interest so who knows I may buy the original before I see the sequel, and then proceed to watch it in theaters. Still on the fence as I need to see more to make sure I might hold my interest. Overall though I'm loving it, and the math jokes with Dash and Mr. incredible.

That's good you are too -- I didn't tag because I assumed @tcool123 and yourself were alright since you were posting here

 

[Suchomimus]

Happy Valentines Day to all; except Squidward

And Patrick

I'm digging the vibe of this film

@TheOriginalTiki to add on to the map -- if I'm understanding @Magic Feather correctly, I added in that path.

I don't think this is something in need of too much studying or stress....as long as you don't head into Asia accidentally you'll be riding Flight of Passage within 30-45 mins. Which is much better than 150 mins.

It's your first time...follow the crowds and enjoy...and then if by the 2nd visit you feel more comfortable with the layout, you can try the tricks.

@TheOriginalTiki To add to what others are saying.. Last week we arrived via bus to AK at 8:45am (park open is 9 but you can go on in). Having no bags, we went straight in towards FoP. We hit a full stop at a huge crowd at the Discovery Island/Pandora bridge before they let everyone past. Once in Pandora, the line (crowd) curved right, back towards Africa/Festival of the Lion king. The line made a "u turn" just before Lion King show building and then back under the bridge into Pandora, to the regular Stand-By entrance. Posted wait was around 135min at park open, but even as long as the line was, we only waited 75 min. It moved very quickly. Just don't be scared of posted long wait times. We rode it later at 7:00ish with a posted wait time of 120min and again it was only 75min wait. The queue is fantastic with lots of details to pass the time quickly.

So let's talk Fastpass times and the posibilty of getting a rope drop FoP ride (trust me...were early birds who are seasoned Disneyland veterans, we WILL be near the front of that crowd ) plus a reride in post-rope drop standby and actually make it to our Fastpasses. It won't be the end of the world if we miss the FP window and thus won't be able to reserve more later on...especially Thursday since Extra Hours will be one giant Fastpass, but some beings as though I have no bearing on how long it takes to walk to either of these from Flight of Passage feedback would be helpful

Wednesday: Dinosaur 10AM-11AM
Thursday: Kali 9:45AM-10:45AM

Obviously leaning towards arriving in the back half of those time windows.

Of course there's always the possibility that I'll find FoP over-hyped and not have a desire to re-ride it beyond the two rope drop times we have planned, haha. Coming from someone who's passionately not a Soarin' fan.

To clarify: space and P_Radden had it right. That is the current flow ops is operating with and had been operating with for some time now. Here is my shot at a diagram:

Also, don’t plan on getting right back on FoP after just getting off. This is when lines tend to be craziest. Wait until mid-day or late night.

Totally! I wouldn't run right back on

@TheOriginalTiki If you wait till close to park closing the line won't be as bad.

I just reached a personal milestone! I just had my first video that crossed 100 views!
