From Shanghai's TSL you can see how our Al's Toy Barn and Woody's Roundup area would've looked like if it didn't get cut.

Disney was apparently supposed to share more details about the Guardians coaster today at Epcot but did not end up doing so.

I'm happy with what we are getting. Their TSL looks dire if I'm honest. Just like what they put in Paris

Could you imagine if this happens with the Star Wars Land rides? Hopefully they spend a little extra time ensuring that those don't see closures like the Pandora rides have.

Not only will people be upset who have booked trips just to see it, but they also are going to have a hotel tied into it with premium pricing in some degree attributed to special access.

On the bright side both attractions won’t be in the same building for Star Wars. That’s a downside for Pandora.

These two rides have had very little down time since they opened compared to RSR when that opened in cars land. RSR would notoriously break down multiple times a day with a 45-60 min reset period when it first opening and there were days the ride was be down the whole day or a good part of the day during the first year of operation.

I'm with you I would rather have our TSL but it would've been even better if the whole woody's roundup area didn't get cut and I do realize budget cuts happen all the time.

Woody's Roundup reminds me of the old west set at Fairyland in Oakland, CA.

I suppose it could be added later as an enhancement

The Disney Dream Earns 12th Perfect Score in CDC Inspection

I second this. Was there in December and loved it. Spent 4 hours but could have easily spent more. Luckily I didn’t have my husband or kids with me because they would have been done after an hour and would have been telling me to hurry up!

Speaking of the museum, I’ve been meaning to bring this up since I was there and saw this. I read about how Walt’s Dad loved music, but his parents forbade it so he would go hide in the forest and practice his fiddle. Read the attached paragraph. This sounds an awful lot like Coco. Does anyone know if this is where that part of the storyline came from? I like to think it is.

We loved the museum too. I basically stayed from opening to close. Here's my trip report from when we went on Walt's birthday in 2015. Lots of pics.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy – Awesome Mix Live!’ Begins June 9 at Epcot

I hate to be an "any chance of a soft opening" guy, but do they ever have soft openings for shows like this? The 8th is our last day in the parks.

Ahh...don't worry - I'll be the "any chance it gets extended?" guy to help off-set you.

I was there yesterday and had a FoP FP+ for 6:30 ... it had already been changed to Multiple Experiences by 5 pm. On my way out, I walked through and there were so many CMs out explaining that everything was down that you just knew it wasn’t coming back up that day.

IDK if the building controls part of the ambient sound, but it was REALLY quiet ... almost creepy quiet with the sounds of bugs, etc., that are usually piped in to the land.
