I hope everyone has a great day. It's going to be a busy one.
I will happily watch from home. Those kind of crowds make me nervous.

Yep, in another time I might have considered joining the madness, but not during a pandemic.

Is it a new show? I won't watch the video until I see it in person, but that's cool if it is.

I also didn't watch it for those same reasons!

Yeah, today is going to be a sad day for me. We had reservations made 11 months ago but had to cancel due to pandemic issues here at home

Seeing all the pictures from this morning makes me feel more confident in my choice to cancel my CR trip for the 50th (I had planned to be there today followed by a cruise, but changed plans due to all the uncertainty of park offerings/cruises etc a few months ago) and go to Aulani next week instead.

Best wishes to everyone there, but I sense Christmas level restroom and ride lines approaching and thanks but no thanks

It'll be fun to watch today's Wait Times from afar.

although I do have a tinge of sadness not being there.......

It's too bad they don't show the food and merchandise wait times. That may be the bigger waits today.

Anybody taking bets when the app crashes?

I watched it again to see if a second time would grow on me... I want to love it... I just can't. It's really not good. It looks mostly like a slide show badly projected onto the castle. Most of the projections switch too quickly, are disjointed, not nicely framed and placed on the castle and thrown together. There are no spots where I feel any emotions at all.. no happiness, no fear, no sadness, no love, no joy. Tinkerbell felt like an afterthought. There was a whole section about flying in the show and she wasn't there... weird. Honestly, we will not worry if we see this or not. Probably just catch it from wherever we are in the park at the time.

I agree the score is just terrible the fireworks were good but that is it. Will just watch the fireworks from BLT next summer no need to be in park for this.

Count me in as happy to watch from home as well ... reports are already starting to come in that the merch crowds are getting pretty ugly inside the Emporium

Schocking - because NO ONE could have predicted that!

Any news about the first day of the virtual queue for Remy’s and how long it lasted this morning?

Yep ... how the heck did Disney not have better crowd control ready? I really feel bad for the CMs

milliseconds is what I saw on twitter.

Because its impossible in the end, they try and things still don't work. The resellers always find a way, untill people stop being so desperate to buy on ebay nothing will change.

NEWS: You CAN’T Re-Ride Disney World Attractions with Genie+ At Launch

Original title doesn’t include at Launch, but when Genie+ launches you will only be able to book a particular ride once in your day. No repeat lightning lane access for rides. This could all be subject to change as time goes on with the system.

so if I get a LL for say pirates I can only go on it once that day with LL

well that is a bit rubbish
