Fran would go crazy at the May 15th event, but we aren't going to be there then. They have all kinds of cool stuff, we'll just have to hope that it's still there once we get there!

Hopefully we'll have no battery issues this time around and both have our own. We have large canvas bags that strap to the back of the seat that hold a whole lot of merchandise. Then there are also the floorboards too!

You could choose from a picture of all the characters together, Olaf on his own or Elsa and Anna together. I choose all characters The bag is silver also which is cool! The font is also in Walt font which I liked.

Still no more confirmed schedule for SWW but I did order a Frozen bag like my Star Wars bag...

Couldn't help myself!

Looking forward to being able to book FP+ for Star Tours. Currently researching DAS cards the new GAK card which is the card guests with disabilities use. The GAK card worked really well for me as I struggle to wait in line. The changes are now you go to the ride or attraction and they write a return time on your DAS card equal to the current wait time. Then when the time is up minus 10 mins to load you return so you don't have to wait in line which is very useful for me with my health issues. I could never wait in line longer than 10 mins. So with that and FP+ should be ok

Very nice that they have a system in place for waiting. Do the CMs ever give you a problem, like do they all know about it?

with the old GAK card we never had an issue. But they changed the card to DAS in October so we haven't tried that yet. Many folks are complaining because you use to be just able to get onto the ride with a GAK card with little wait time and now you have a return time the same as the stand by time. Which I think is fair enough to be honest. As long as I don't have to wait in the line I think it's very good they have special cars for the rides. The TSM disabled car I use is great. It has a button instead of a pull cord for the trigger! I can't pull the cord.

Hopefully the new system will work pretty well. That pull cord on TSM can be torturous!

yes the folks that are complaining haven't even tried it yet! I am happy to go in with a positive attitude after all they don't have to provide anything do they! Oh my I know re pull cord the first time I did it I nearly died. My wrist swelled up like an elephant! still haven't got off Beaver lol lol.
