Hi Everyone

Producing a resort video today at Citywalk.

AT&T coverage is not good in IOA. They have WiFi in Toon Lagoon only, but you have to pay for it. $10 for 30 minutes.

Crowds are somewhat heavy at IOA today.

New ride reservation system at Islands of Adventure.

You get this device with your ride times loaded on it. You give it to the Team Member at the front of each ride who lets you in the Express Line.

The cost for this service is 39.99 for one ride on each ride throughout IOA except Forbidden Journey and Terandon Flyers. 49.99 is for multiple reservations on the same rides all day long.

This is still in test mode and only available in IOA. You pick up your reservation device, make payment, and make ride reservations at the front of the park to the left of the turnstiles.

That sounds really cool, not sure if it's worth 40-50 bucks. However is that for one person or can you reserve for two? THEN it might be worth $50. If anyone knows this detail please let me know.

Nevermind...just looked at the pic closer. It says per person. No thanks!! I'll just wait in line, I'm good at it!!

Look at the prices of express in the summer months.

This is why you stay onsite.
