A beer vendor would get me to stand in lines longer. Also, the play area in Dumbo has the right idea, but why is it only for kids! Why not make the exit areas the line. People can hang out and be paged. It would be a different category of standby.

Ride Time is not the same as Cycle Time.

There are like 10 rides just in Fantasyland alone over at MK. That is why MK is always the number 1 attended park, lots to do, not just shopping and dining. I just dont understand how HS cant get more rides out of these 2 huge lands being added for the amount of acreage they are taking up. Its great the Toy story and Star Wars will look phenomenal like Avatar does but when it comes down to it once you walk through it a few times, it comes down to go in, ride, go out.

The hourly capacity is fine for a kiddie coaster but not for a Tier 1 E-ticket that will be the go-to attraction this summer. They keep building rides and expecting them to handle the crowds of bigger, better rides.
Better start the second track!

Because that’s when it will be finished and ready. Maybe.

Dueling Slinkys? Now there's a concept I can get behind! Just don't let them get all tangled up...

So to summarize, Disney has just spent hundreds of millions to build two Cedar Fair-ish quality rides that suffer from low capacity and technical issues, while at the same type hyping them as major additions because they don't have any other new rides at WDW this year and they want you to book your vacation ASAP and not wait until Star Wars opens. This is all before the guests actually arrive and find out that they wasted a tier 1 FP on a C-Ticket spinner ride.
What a mess.

More than half the park's attractions have been shuttered for new development and customers are expected to pay the same expensive amount to visit. This is perhaps the first time in Disney Park history where the guests absolutely WERE owed something.
Star Wars Land surely seems like it will be worth the trade off of what the park lost for it. DHS' other new land didn't need to quite live up to the apparent next-level quality of Galaxy's Edge to be worthwhile, but splitting the difference between that and the forthcoming Toy Story Land seems like it would have been adequate.
I'll say again -- I LOVE Toy Story. On paper, a Toy Story Land makes me giggle with excitement. What we are getting, however, does not appear to be worthy of any standard you might apply to it: It's not worthy of the Franchise its based on, It's not worthy of the amount space it takes up, it's not worthy of the piles of money spent on it -- and with what we're learning of the new rides' THC, it doesn't seem like it will be worthy of the time it takes to actually get on the attractions. I BEG that the dissenters are proven wrong when it opens, but there don't appear to be any surprises left for us to discover upon its opening. We've got a pretty clear shot of what's coming and each piece seems to be underwhelming.
I'm perfectly capable of enjoying an underwhelming experience for what it is, and I intend to enjoy myself when I find myself in Toy Story Land, but I see no reason not to speak up against work that does live up to the Disney Standard. There was every excuse to make an exceptional land - the space, the money, the creative and popular IP were all there for the reaping and yet somehow it appears the result will be lesser than the sum of its parts -- the antithesis of what the dwindling Disney's Hollywood Studios needed. There is really no excuse.

If the bar were set any lower it would be underground.

Yes, and Disney toilet paper is softer than sand paper.

How is alien saucers having issues? They’ve built the same ride in two other parks.

The ride system was fine for Mater's. I'd say the rides are a big step up. It goes without saying more was needed in the land. Or to have made better use of it. Were they 'worth' it? I don't know. For many I guess not. I can see why but I'm still not entirely against either of them. They just aren't the headliner attractions that they'll be treated as.
Shame this all wasn't better thought out.

Yes, imagine 45,000 people trying to get into MK, demanding a ride on Barnstormer and Dumbo. Because they heard about Barnstormer and Dumbo on a Good Morning, America segment. And then The View. And then Nightline.
What are they thinking?

Any guesses on opening day line length? All the way to the gate?
I'll be there. Will try to post pics. Thought it might be -fun- to be there for a grand opening...we'll see!
Did not get a FP for either new attraction on opening day; did get one for Aliens a few days later.

I'll be there opening day as well. It should be interesting! Was only able to get a Fastpass for TSMM in the morning, so we'll be rope dropping the new attractions. We check out the next day, so another day wasn't possible unfortunately.
