I guess they'd only need one song for the soundtrack.

Star Wars is shut out at the Oscars. Of all the nominations Star Wars didn't win anything...

What I notice about the new tiering system is very few value dates. Mainly September, January, and February and that's mostly it. October and November used to be lovely times to go, but Food and Wine plus the free dining promos have made those months crazy crowded too!

those are the typical slow months. october and november and december not only have food andwine but also halloween and christmas parties.

That's awesome--- something is out of sync. Ever been on Polar Express at SW? almost like they designed it to make people sick.

Just my opinion...10/1-12/20 went from the best time to be there to the absolute worst

Really? They've been testing for a while now and have been having actual soft openings. I haven't heard of guests doing such.

There has been talk of upgrading the USF version to 3D as well.

Considering how herky jerky that ride is, I can see how it would cause some folks to get sick. 3D doesn't work well in environments where your brain doesn't have enough time to fully process what it is seeing before you are flown off to the next thing. Considering going to a 3D movie and being forced to sit through a 3D trailer. All those quick cuts from scene to scene don't do your brain any favors.

Yes it is supposed to come to Florida. Japan already has it and has for a while I believe. I'm just surprised that they haven't got it down yet in California.
