Not sure.

I know they are not scheduling yet for our trip at the end of February. I'm hoping they do, but it isn't yet available online.

It is hard to believe that people would actually get into that line.

Must be a lot of once in a lifetimers that won't get to ride it if they don't wait.

Happy to say I dont think my husband or I will ever be tempted to wait for ride lines in Pandora.

That being said our next trip is hopefully 2019 so we WILL be tempted to wait for ride lines in Toy Story Land & Galaxy's Edge

Think it's 8 year old appropriate.....if said 8 year old was fine with the last Jedi? Yet borderline with the force awakens at age 6?

It’s for 10 and up and they are apparently strict about it. Our 8 year old was crushed when the age restriction was announced right before our trip!

There's a good chance they are right about the closure, but wrong about the Brazil thing. WDWNT tends to do that, post a bit of truth and then add speculation like it is fact.

For the record, I wasn't disputing the statement that the attraction was closing...only the link that it's related to a new country pavilion.

I also hope that the space doesn't get turned into a venue for Disney Performing Arts. Back when I worked there, the Tomorrowland Theatre was still around. (That theatre was to the left of the Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin entrance. Every Cast Member hated getting assigned a group for that venue because it was a ghost town. Aside from family members traveling with the group, the theatre would be empty because there was zero foot traffic.

The Circle of Life theatre would face the same fate. Convincing regular guests to enter that theatre to see a visiting group perform will be next to impossible.

Hey you beat me!

It’s truly a monumental day!

Plus I figured I’d pull my weight seeing as you’re in Disney and all

Doesn't Toy Story Land open in the fall of 2018?

EDITED: oops, nevermind, just looked at the Major Project thread, and it says Summer, possibly Memorial Day....

It should be open by summer, with a lot of people speculating Memorial Day.

 

[ErinF]

Disney has stated "summer 2018" and with the progress they've made, most people are thinking/saying Memorial Day weekend.

What is the status of the Minnie Van roll out? We already have the code on our phones from our trip last fall, and Beach Club where they were already part of the roll out, but wondering how far it's gotten, and any timeline for including all the resorts.
