Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

I didn't know it would do that - we use the ISPOILER tags all the time in the movies forum. I put a warning on the post.

1st time I've learned of that spoiler glitch as well! ... I look at it as you 'taking one for the team' on this. This discovery will probably save some other much bigger spoiler down the line.

I posted simultaneously as @mrsap and didn't know it would do that. I was more worried about my own lack of tech-savviness. My forum experience is on this board and on the old AOL movie/TV/music boards and a handful of others over the decades. So I wasn't sure how it worked (even though I was a tech major lol).

Features have definitely improved over time! On AOL, our spoiler was a warning followed by about 100 lines of asterisks IIRC and I think we had to pretty must close our eyes and scroll by haha.

After typing that, I'm suddenly feeling my age

Oh yeah, I remember that stuff!

Spoilers are the reason I got up at 6 AM to watch it - I'm not taking any chances! In my circle, this stuff WILL get talked about.

With Hoop De Doo reservations, does anyone remember reading anything that onsite resort guests can book today?

We have a valid reservation at Shades of Green, but IT struck again in the last day or two and it fell off MDE. I'll have to call IT to get them to fix it. (Just did this 3 weeks ago). Other people are getting errors too though, but different ones, mine is related to making sure I have a valid resort reservation.

Gotta love Disney IT!

I don't know what I'm more mad at - getting up at 5:50 after being up from 2:30 - 4 a.m.-something for nothing - or not being able to get the ADR - or knowing I now have to sit on hold with Disney IT either way

So yeah...I can now confidently say it's Disney IT is what I'm most annoyed at out of the three
Why does WDW have to make everything so hard?!?!?

I sure hope no changes to the ride profile occur before we get there in July. I'd at least like to experience the ride a few times as the imagineers intended before they mellow it out.

Or Mission: SPACE. That one was too much for a lot of people, hence why Green Team was implemented.
