I have to admire how quickly they got this poster printed lol.

As a graphic designer, I can tell you there's probably a template made already, and they can just type it in in a matter of minutes. I'll guess they had the schedule together a few days ago, and printed it off yesterday. The turnaround on these kinds of things can be surprising.

So quick, that someone didn't edit 20:30 to 8:30.

So the hope now is they write Dreamfinder into the movie, and Disney is then required to put him back into the ride. Is this the convoluted way we get him back?

Good luck getting there on time! Stay safe!

So do they plan on deactivating the online check-in process so people arriving Wednesday have to go to front desk?

I'd love for them to adapt the Marvel comic series from a few years back which was a steampunk style origin story for both Figment and Dreamfinder. That probably won't be the case but I can't see a decent Figment story without Dreamfinder involved somehow.

Could also be why they haven't refurbed the ride in forever. Why fix anything if you know you'll have a movie tie in soon enough?

When was the last time WDW was in the direct path of a hurricane?

I read yesterday that it was Charley in 2004.

I remember visiting several months after Charley and seeing all the trees down in the woods along the Epcot monorail line.

Or why fix anything if people still ride it Obviously, a lot of people don't ride it, but I don't think they feel they will see added value by modifying it. I am just glad that I got to see the original when I was a kid. Maybe someday they will do something with it, when they realize it will help capacity.

I’m not going to hold my breath on this one. They’ll probably just add a few screens to the existing ride.

According to this web site, Dorian, in 2019, prompted the parks to close. Dorian took a turn and stayed off the Atlantic coast and missed WDW. I was there in 2017, 2 days after Irma rolled right over WDW as a Cat 3. The parks were closed for 3 days.

the ride south this afternoon was... weird. first pic is the florida welcome center parking lot.



the roads were equally empty save for convoys of electrical trucks and national guard. with 0 slowdowns we made record time.





but we got here with an hour to spare. the lobby was hoppin' with kids playing games and then chip/dale/pluto and minnie stopped by (my pop took more pics of that but I'm not about to wake him up for them so I'll share tomorrow)




the wind is sure howling, but we feel safe. we'll see what the daylight brings...

Good Morning All!

How did all of our friends who stayed in Disney do overnight? I hope the evening part of the storm was somewhat calmer and you guys are all ok.
