Can't help thinking I'm looking at an assembly of the Clinical Technicians from my work standing outside in their teal colored scrubs.

I agree that the uniforms definitely look like scrubs.

At Epcot today and was able to get a guardians VQ group 30. So happy we didn’t have to buy LL$ because we are a group of 11.

I agree - and I think they might be designed like that to be more comfortable in the WDW heat and humidity of summer. Nice and loose.

I find the last transition on Forbidden Journey from screens to entering the Great Hall sometimes gets me. I don't ever get motion sickness. It's worse if I have been drinking or drank a lot the day before and ride in the morning. I just close my eyes momentarily for that transition, and I don't have issues, unless I am very hungover.

It was the part where you almost go upside down (or it feels like you're upside down) that got me. I had a pretty big stomachache afterwards but my friend wanted to go again since we didn't use our Express pass yet so naturally I did. The ride actually got delayed for 30 minutes because someone threw up. That ride is super unique and fun, but I didn't love the nauseous feeling I had afterwards.

I read a lot of people on here say that trying to look at the screens while the ride vehicle is rotating on Guardians is what is making them sick and I can see that. I am hoping that Disney doesn't tweak the ride to make it less intense.

honestly I found the strobe effect of the pre show more disorienting than the actual coaster re: cosmic rewind

Items Containing Peanut Butter Discontinued Across Walt Disney World Amid Widespread Recall​

As the global peanut butter recall expands to cover more brands, products, and locations, Walt Disney World has now discontinued all food items containing the ingredient.

Whether their supply was directly affected or out of an abundance of caution is unclear. But at least for now, guests won be able to find products containing peanut butter anywhere on Walt Disney World property.

Imagineering Files Permit for Work on Tike’s Peak at Blizzard Beach

A new permit filed by Walt Disney Imagineering reveals a bit of the work that’s taking place at the water park during its lengthy refurbishment.

A cursory glance at the permit might suggest a new attraction due to the work listed as “install show items”, but the address on the permit actually resolves to Tike’s Peak at the front of the water park.

That said, we’ve been extensively tracking work taking place at the back of the water park that could be for a new attraction or work on existing attractions. The address of the work underway at the back of the park does not match the address for this Walt Disney Imagineering permit.
