Sort of an off topic question here, but not really.

I couldn't get a Fantasy Springs Hotel reservation for my stay in July (not shocking though). However, I did snag 3 nights at Miracosta.

With early entry, what will be the best method to get either DPA or Standby Passes for Fantasy Springs. We're going to Disneysea 3 days all together, with only 2 of those visits using Happy 15.

Can DPA & Standby Pass be booked at the same time, or must each one be done separately? I truly don't know since I didn't really try to do that on my last trip.

Appreciate any tips or suggestions :)

This.

I want to thank everyone for their use of spoiler text. We have a date! October 16th! So I'm trying to avoid non-logistical spoilers and just wait. So I will be trying to keep up on things like: order to ride the rides even with the wristband, and mobile ordering at the restaurants, and shopping pass, and do not miss details etc. While trying to avoid photos and videos. We'll see how successful I am.

With the caveat that watching a relatively bad video is obviously not the same thing as being on the actual ride, the Frozen ride looks quite underwhelming. I was expecting something better. It just seems bland, and a design downgrade from the recent Beauty and the Beast attraction -- which itself is closer to a double than a home run.

There are some excellent AAs on display, though. It doesn't look bad (compare it to something like Little Mermaid), but it feels like they could have easily built something more impressive.

It looks like it will be a cute attraction with a lot of charm. I don't mind the smaller scale, however I kind of with they made another frozen ever after and did a full fleshed out Tangled ride.

That would have been more interesting to me as well. But since Frozen was far more successful than Tangled in Japan (becoming the 3rd highest-grossing film of all-time there), I understand why they devoted more resources to it.

I think FEA is a great attraction. I know it's controversial because it lacks story, and tension but that's what this tangled ride is gonna be but at a smaller scale.

I disagree on FEA (I think it's pretty lame), but I would have rather gotten a big Tangled ride, rather than the FEA-version of it.

I’m avoiding the spoilers, but it’s a bit fascinating watching Hong Kong’s FEA getting progressively more positive re-evaluation and this getting less. Looks like HK wasn’t screwed over after all.

Though I’ve also not spoiled or experienced B&TB and that seems to be softening to more positivity than initial reactions. I guess expectancy on this ride was just way too high?

It will be really amusing if TBA is seen as the superior attraction over Tokyo’s Frozen.

This is infinitely better and it’s not even remotely comparable. HKDL’s FEA is also very improved compared to Epcot’s, even if the changes are small. HKDL and Tokyo’s even in the same ballpark.

It’s effectively like WDW’s Pirates vs Disneylands for FEA, and then Tokyo’s is Shanghai’s pirates.

I also haven’t experienced or spoiled BATB, but from what I’ve heard, the queue is amazing, so watching a POV (like how most people experience it), bypasses/greatly dilutes the amazing queue experiences.

I doubt it, the scale of the Frozen scenes cannot be replicated in Splash, but watching this POV makes me more excited for TBA.

Your perspective is way more positive than everything else I’m seeing here. Which I’m not complaining about, I’ll probably like it a lot.

My main complaint is they should’ve cut scenes 2-4 because they’re excessive…

We don’t even have a full-ride through yet, but it’s very very impressive nonetheless.

Scenes 5-11 are better than what I would even come up with in a best case scenario even if scene 5 could use a few tweaks.

Like I genuinely don’t know what dark rides to compare this to if this ride is bad. Like what would be good? The only reasonable comparison is pirates and it seems to stack up very well.
