Sorry I've lost track of it all.

I think that some cars can accommodate an ECV also, IIRC...but could be confusing with the boats....

I could be wrong, but in 2017 when I rented an ECV I was told I couldn’t ride the RR. I think I had to park it and then pick it up after going around full circle. (this wasn’t a Disney ECV)

Walt Disney World Wait Times for Last Week of January 2022

 

[Kip Herner]

Good Morning all, sitting here waiting on this weeks Apocolyptic Winter Storm to hit. Come on people, these storms are no different than what we saw in the 80s and 90s. When the Weather Channel started naming these winter storms, they all get blown way out of proportion. Now back to our regularly scheduled program of day dreaming about our next trip to Disney!!!!

I hope you’re at least prepared for it…

Disney Seeking Dancers With Aerial Abilities for A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King, Will Full Show Return Soon?

Here are the audition descriptions:

• Maji – Female identifying dancer 5’1″ to 5’4″ with excellent ballet technique, strong partnering skills and the ability to perform at heights. This character may perform an aerial routine that involves flying in the air. Due to aerial equipment safety protocol, this role must maintain a weight of 110 lbs. or lower and must be within the 5’1-5’4 height bracket
• Moto – Male identifying dancer 5’10” and above, with excellent ballet technique, lift/partnering skills and strong athletic build.

The roles, as described, seem to hint that Disney is looking to bring back the “full” Festival of the Lion King show.

SARATOGA SPRINGS RESORT ACTIVITY CALENDAR - FEBRUARY

Oooh.. Saratoga Springs has Mickey Tie Dye! I didn't realize that there were some DVC resorts did them. I'll be visiting Saratoga in May, so I'm pretty excited.

I have never been on this train

how does it work does it go right round the park or does it stop at other part in the park, I, guessing if you have a stroller that wouldn’t work

The last time the trains were running, these were the rules. Personal strollers were either parked in the nearest designated area or emptied, folded, and brought on board. Disney strollers were either left in the nearest designated parking area with the name tag still in it or totally emptied, name tag pulled out, stroller handed off to train station CM, and the family picked up a new one at the station they got off at. However, the rules when they reopen could change.

Disneyland Paris

Tonight was the live show for AP holders on youtube. It is in French, but there are English subtitles (for me the subtitles only work when watching it on my laptop, not when streaming it to my tv)

There were some shows announced, some merchandise for the 30th anniversary released, and a talk with Yves Ollier, who designs the Gardens of Wonder at DLP.
The announcements were switched off with songs/dance with Disney characters and banter between Betty Rose and Jimmy Ocean (original characters from the Pirates & Princess festival)
