    Sea World-coasters order

    Just in case you are unaware, Mako is undergoing refurbishment right now so it is currently closed, along with Journey to Atlantis.

    TRON review?

    I'd agree with a lot of sentiment here. Tron is a fun ride for sure and should be tried at least once, but it's nothing overly special (IMO). It's super smooth which I appreciate and I do like how fast it is and how I feel like I'm flying. But the seat is definitely not the most comfortable and...

    Favourite Disney Springs dinner spot?

    I would agree with most of what has been mentioned here. This is my list in order of what I'd choose: Raglan Road - Great atmosphere, really good food and pretty easy to get reservations. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here, but some things are better than others. The burger and bread...

    Should you buy Genie+ if you are a local with an AP?

    Hey all! So I did a search but didn't really find the answer I was looking for. My family recently moved to Florida about 45 minutes from the parks. We of course purchased annual passes for the whole family and have already made it worthwhile lol. Monday will be the first time we are taking my...

    Genie plus and Child Swap

    I just did this a few weeks ago. My party of 6 had a VQ for Guardians but my 4 year old was too small to ride. So basically, whichever parent is going second will go to a cast member standing outside and tell them you need to child swap. They will scan your tickets or phone for whoever is going...

    Quick Service Recommendations

    So I'm gonna be the minority on this thread and disagree with the above posters about F&W. I actually thought the portions were decent for what they are. My husband and I decided to end our day at Epcot for dinner and I was able to try 3-4 savory items, one desert item and a flight of mimosas. A...

    Question about crowds before/after a run weekend?

    Hey all! I have some family coming into town the week of the Run Disney Princess half marathon. We had wanted to visit Epcot while they are here but I just found out about the princess run and am now curious about crowds. Are the days leading up to the run weekend usually more busy or the days...

    Has anyone with motion sickness attempted Guardians while taking meds (dramamine, bonine, etc.?)

    Oh man these two LOL. I actually really like Forbidden Journey as a ride mechanism and the scenes with actual props are really cool, but if I go on it, I absolutely cannot open my eyes at all during the screen parts or else I am dead. I tried to ride Simpsons a few years ago and felt sick within...

    Has anyone with motion sickness attempted Guardians while taking meds (dramamine, bonine, etc.?)

    It's so interesting to me that this ride affects everyone differently. I absolutely cannot make it through a ride that is mainly screen based. So Soarin', FOP, Star Tours, Mission Space etc...those make me extremely messed up in the head. Coasters however, are my favorite type of ride. I was...

    Who’s had all 6 Guardians songs?

    I haven't heard all the songs as I've only ridden twice, but I got 'Conga' the first time and 'I Ran' the second. Both songs are songs that I really don't like in normal life lol, but I really enjoyed I Ran while on the coaster for some reason. I just felt it "fit" better. I am dying to get...

    Pick A Pearl

    I loved pick a pearl in Japan. It was my souvenir on every trip I took. A few months ago, I visited Epcot and was so disappointed in the new design of the Japan store. It used to be such an amazing store, and now it is just a shell of what it used to be. The pearl area is completely gone as of...

    Attractions that Surprised You (Not Expecting to be Anything Special)

    Frozen replaced Maelstrom. It was a ride about vikings. None of the actual ride mechanisms were changed if I recall correctly, but Frozen is a much better ride imo, so I'm glad it was changed!

    Should I change from Caribbean Beach without Skyliner?

    I haven't actually stayed at Caribbean beach so take my comment with a grain of salt, but IMO, I don't think it's worth staying there without the benefit of the Skyliner. I have heard the food options are good there, but the resort is so large that I'd rather stay at someplace smaller and/or...

    Recs for Harmonious viewing

    We stood across from Japan and the view was spectacular! The perfect spot is between the stage and the red tower thingy out in the water (directly across from the food stand that sells shaved ice I believe). I think maybe we got there an hour before, but I think honestly there would still be...

    What is your favorite song to hear while riding Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I rode it twice. The first ride I got Conga, and although fun, I just didn't like the song choice and felt like it didn't really add anything to the ride. My second go I got "I Ran" and though I'm not the biggest fan of the song itself, on the ride, it actually helped me to enjoy the story much...

    Screen based rides and motion sickness?

    Just wanted to comment on this. I hate spinning rides with a passion and was honestly nervous for guardians. BUT, after riding twice, I can honestly say that you don't really feel the spinning. In fact, it's much more of a rotation rather than a spin. It happens so fluidly as you bank around the...

    Screen based rides and motion sickness?

    My motion sickness is definitely triggered by screens and it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I have learned over the years that if the ride vehicle is actually moving along on a track, like Remy or Spiderman or Guardians, then I am typically fine. I get a little wonky in my head, but it...

    Cosmic Rewind for the Not-So-Brave?

    Rode Guardians twice a few weeks ago and it is SO smooth. There is definitely no jerking around and I think your neck and back will be totally fine. If you can do it, I'd say ride it! It was such a fun coaster!

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ‘Holiday Remix’ will debut on November 25th!

    Thank you both! I have Epcot reservations for the day, but our group didn't want to head in until 11ish so I wanted to make sure I could still try for the ILL. I know the chances are slim, but here's hoping!
