Anybody know what's wrong with 7DMT? We have been in line since 9 AM and it is still closed.

Any updates on this? Is it still down?

Pardon my ignorance but I don't know who Martin Smith is. Enlighten me?

He does amazing tribute and history videos on Disney attractions. You can see those on Vimeo. He is also a member on wdwmagic and is considered an insider. He is more right than spirit most of the time.

Probably just a mechanical issue. I'm sure it will be resolved soon if it isn't already.

This is a great review that makes me very excited without giving too much away. I've only been disapointed in one Pixar short and it was the last one, but I can't remember what it was. But the Volcano one and PaperMan and Feast were all fantastic.

I liked Sanjay's Team because it was different, but yeah, during the short I didn't really know what was going on. I've heard the bird short is really cute, but I'll see it myself later this week.

And just a little correction, Paperman and Feast are Walt Disney Animation, not Pixar

So you are saying it made waves by floating to the top of the record list, one it is shore to keep for a while?

I SEA what you did there.

Which I'm actually surprised at because there had to be maybe 20-25 people in the theater I was in for a 3D showing last night.

Yes. They tried to combine a thrill ride and a ride-through which was ambitious, but it just turned out kind of lame... OH! you mean why is it down right now? I don't know...

 

[lockedoutlogic]

I suspect @lockedoutlogic feels the security is ineffective and probably wouldn't stop anything anyway, as opposed to the probability being too low to bother with security. I don't know what they are doing now, so it's hard for me to comment. I know what they were doing in March was fairly worthless. I don't know if they really can do a job that would be effective enough to stop/prevent something like the club shooting. However, I believe the ship has sailed in Orlando. We had better just accept whatever they end up doing or not go to the parks.

Yeah...I moslty agree

Post of the day...

 

[lockedoutlogic]

I hope that we don't start the "security is inadequate/unnecessary" shouting match again. We've been pretty good lately about discussing differing opinions without all the negativity. Arguing about this is pretty pointless, as it is there now and it's not going away, weather you agree or not. If you don't want to go through screening or if you don't agree with or like what is changing, for whatever reason, then there are other vacation spots that might appeal to you more. Vote with your $$ rather than grumbling..

Agree 100%

We can have differing opinions on this topic...much of security is "perception" and "deterrent"...so it is as much of a psychological thing as it is a physical presence.

Very much a debatable thing...unlike $60 a person at chef mickeys

It started up around 9:30 I guess. Really frustrating start to the morning.

If what they say about the lack of bathrooms is true, it's no wonder there are problems. Wonder how many trash cans there are. Not enough, apparently...or else people don't know what they are for.

I can't imagine there aren't enough trash cans. My guess is they just don't care and drop it wherever.
