So I just went to the MDE app to look at possible wait times and to see how bad they would be. Of course the app still lists the attractions as opening tomorrow. And I know tomorrow will be a long wait.

Not sure of the accuracy, but the Touringplans lines app shows posted wait for Flight of Passage at 100 minutes and River Journey at 60 minutes...

Since I haven't been following the Pandora stuff from ground breaking until now, can someone explain who those 3 people are and why they would have been photoshopped out? I am guessing that they ended up not being part of the project or something contentious occurred.

Tom Staggs was President of Parks and Resorts and then COO before resigning a year or so ago. Meg Crofton was WDW president for a while then moved onto another position in the company before retiring. Bruce Vaughn was head of Imagineering before getting let go.

Pointless they were apart of your company's history beyond petty whoever ordered that change

I can understand Vaughn but the other two had pretty substantial careers with the company.

Ryan doesn't Meg have a window on mainstreet

Yes.

 

[mikeamizzle]

That is pretty unbelievable. Nice job by WDWNT noticing that though, quite an interesting easter egg!

Double that for when FP is allowed. Also take into account that it was an unadvertised soft opening. I'm excited to see the wait times tomorrow, but even more anxious to see what they are after Monday going forward.

Excellent, my son loves it, and there were rumors it was leaving at least temporarily.

It seems like a really fun way to get kids involved with the WS, even if it isn't always P&F I feel like there should always be something like this offered
