Yep 1200 FPs were available starting at 8:45 AM. The same will happen tomorrow at 8:45AM. For AP and DVC go to the park and get a wristband instead of using a FP.

Is it just me, or does this feel like it will even be really fun, or just really, really, really, really terrible.

I'd lean towards "really, really, really, really terrible".

Maybe I just have my Disney-colored glasses on but I feel like they have to know how beloved the original is to so many people that if it wasn't at least *good* they wouldn't do it.

And while I am not sure all these live action remakes of the animated movies is necessary I do think the quality of them has been very high so that also gives me confidence they won't screw this up

Considering this is a sequel and not a remake I am not so harsh on it. Do we need a sequel no, however I think that's better than trying to remake it. Im excited to see what they do especially with Lin Manuel Miranda on the project, I thought he did good with Moana.

Bought the Mansion/45th band today and it's great. No special lights yet, but they are never turned on right away. For those that were interested, I think it's a really great mansion design



Also saw Rivers of Light tonight. One technical hiccup where the show stopped halfway through and had to be restarted, but I thought it was a beautiful show for my first watch-through. I will probably stop by a couple more times this week if they keep doing softs and see how I feel once it's not completely new anymore. Overall though, I really enjoyed it.

I'd like to know if they are holding back fp's for people in the park the day of? All the fp's were gone already for our date when I checked. Also, we are renting DVC points - does that affect us? Are we able to forego fp's?

They aren't holding any back - these passes are being released on a day-by-day basis this week for soft openings.
The AP/DVC wristbands are also just this week for softs as far as I know

DVC renting never counts for membership perks (there's a blue member card), but they won't be doing the DVC/AP/FP preview when you're going anyway.
