Will you swing by the renovations at POP, try to snap some pictures?

If I do it won't be until Friday.

Navi River Journey is a good ride but a bit short. It would great if it was a couple minutes longer. The AA is incredible and bigger than I thought.

Short like I can't believe it's over or short that I would have liked it to be longer

The tiger float was missing from RoL.

We were there yesterday and today. Satu'li Canteen was very good. Give it a try if you need a snack later tonight after Tiffins or are looking for something sweet. Have a great trip!

Sorry if this has been posted. I searched and couldn't find anything. Plus, I have been stuck in line at Volcano Bay I think Mission Space is going down for refurb this summer. I couldn't get an FP+ on 2 days at the beginning of August, despite getting online at 7am WDW time. I could get Froway though.

If only they would just replace it (sigh)

We actually love MS Orange. I got stuck with Living with the Land and Turtle Talk FPs for the 2 days. We like both but don't usually have to use an FP for these.

I have had a fear of vomit since I was 8 so ANY ride that includes a barf bag is going to tickle my fears a little bit. I also feel awfully nauseated after! But Living with the Land I was HALF ASLEEP through because my sleep cycle was so messed up haha. I will have to redo next time. My don't miss fastpass is Spaceship Earth!

Any idea how the evening EMH at Pandora is doing?

Any idea how the evening EMH at Pandora is doing?

My kids did them twice-- first night and sunday night-- first was ridiculous with obnoxious drunks. Man peeing in bushes back at AKL with his embarrased wife and kids next to him, not even hidden. Girls on the bus screaming profanities at each other in front of children.
Second night was still crowded and the cast members were telling everyone that they can cue but there is no guarantee they will be able to ride.

I was there till about 9 on tuesday night-- we got there around 7....not too bad at first-- I think around 120 waits for both...Got crowded towards dark, and there was a heavy flow of entries when we left-- so I think it is still really crowded.

I was there last night and FoP was 60 minutes most of the night. NRJ was 20 minutes. My group was the start of the EMH line for FoP.

Not by rule, but sometimes by effect. There are only so many things you can focus on in a movie. Look at all the seminal SFX movies. They either compromised on the SFX, or on the actors, because you can't afford both. Writing a good, original story on top is really, really hard. I don't expect to get my cake and eat it too when it comes to movies.

Great

All I'm hearing is you are angry that people will pay to watch Transformers and you're the only one who wants to watch Dr Zhivago in theater now days>

Ooof.

Hope they include the Dining Plans soon....this is such a time saver!

He was busy getting arrested for d.u.i.

Also, could you share your photos with us? Only if you want obviously.

I'm off the dining plan wagon overall, but we got the summer quick service deal so it would have been nice to have that rolled out for our upcoming trip.

I wonder if the lack of mobile ordering might dampen dining plan sales as more and more locations get it? It probably wouldn't be significant, but it might make a few people think twice.

I'll have a trip report as soon as I get back. A lot of my photos are too big to share on mobile.
