Have you tried the second line in Tiki’s plaza? The line is always much shorter. I’ve never waited more than 15 minutes.

My guess is this project is being done to correct two major issues.
1) It adds a handicap ramp to the Tiki Room. Currently folks who cannot climb stairs have to use a handicap elevator.
2) It will help clear the logjam at the entrance to Adventure Land by moving the Dole Whip service counter into this space.

3) Add hula and fire dancers.

All in all, was a great time -- thanks for asking! Wayy too hot and crowded for mid-Feb, but otherwise a fun time. Been meaning to do a DL'ers WDW trip report.
I thought Pandora was amazing and a great indication of what's to come with SWL. What was a little unexpected was how it was simultaneously grandiose and compact all at the same time. Loved both attractions, but would never in a million years wait 2 hours for the boat ride or 4 for FOP which is what both are seeing often times. I'll elaborate more in my recap!
Did not get to do 7 Dwarfs this trip as it broke down during my FP window and I opted to use the FP (they become anytime/any attraction passes if that happens at WDW) for Big Thunder instead which IMO is still the better attraction. Also did not get onto TOT as I only spent half a day at DHS and due to tech issues (I think) they were not at full capacity -- forcing them to close the standby line and my FP wait spiked to 35-45 minutes. As I thought it might not be nice to leave my wife and kids in the blazing hot sun waiting for me, I sadly had to forego my TOT ride this trip.
It still looked as good as ever out the outside though!

Glad to hear you had a good time. Looking forward to reading your trip report. And ya those wives and kids - they really slow us down!

Your little trip report teaser made me miss WDW. I love their version of Splash Mountain. I need to get back down there.

Splash is really great there, was glad to get a ride in this trip. I really love WDW for all the things I can't get at DL though -- walking around World Showcase at night, the crazy detail of DAK, the resorts, getting to the parks by boats and monorails, etc. It's that type of stuff that keeps me excited to go back to WDW. You can always find faults and things to nitpick, but there's still so much to love about it.
I stopped posting on MiceChat because about half of the comments made me feel dumber for having read them.

Noooooo. This onslaught on DLs trees (and Dumbo hedges ) must stop.
Which trees are you referring to though? Not sure I’m following

Judging by the concept art, it looks like these will be removed to create more of an open space. Kinda dumb for a place called Tropical Hideaway...

In the interest of equal time, Disney DID chop down acres over acres of orange trees to make this place. But yeah, I love Disney trees too.

Hahah good point but I never got to enjoy those. I think half (or probably more) of the reason I enjoy the parks so much is the trees/ landscaping. When are they bringing that tour back? I never had a chance to do it.

I never wait in the line outside...always go into the plaza, generally get it much quicker.

It's hard to really explain to people what a completely different experience WDW is. Being in the Disney bubble constantly, using their transportation, really just being completely immersed in Disney is so much different than Disneyland. Some of it better, some not...especially the 95 degree weather and 99% humidity we experienced in May.
