I am used to running that pathway during the Marathon so I never find it to be bad

Ah the energy and stamina of youth! ha ha

Obviously a serious issue. At least both are not closed.

Saw this posted on Facebook from someone who had a FP for Navi River - interesting that all they are giving you is a a FP to be used at the same time you had your Navi one for a ride that has availability - seems like not much of a guest recovery

We've left Epcot at the same time as the boat and kept our eyes on it and we always beat it to dhs.

Since FPs are booked in advance so availability is limited. Them giving you one for a time you already set out isn't bad and you can of course change the time or attraction they give you.

I guess - just seems like if you planned ahead and now what you selected months ago you don't get they should give you something better than just being able to switch to something available. I would think just an extra any time / any ride (perhaps other than FoP) FP

I guess since it is the entire day that would be a lot of people - not like it is just down for a few hours

Yeah that would be a lot of people to have any time FPs.

I can't see it being too long unless this is a complete rebuild of the dock.

Re HHN and Scared vs Shocked: I agree 100%. I'd be shocked not scared and a wee bit annoyed. You make a good point. And if I was 20 or 30 something & out on the town with a group of buddies after a few margaritas, that may be great fun. But now solo, margaritas or not, after trying to weave my way through the scare actors and brave jump outs at the houses, I'd probably just need new undergotchies.

What crazy timing with the opening of TSL! Any completion date? These things really should be posted earlier when park proximity/transportation is a huge factor for many when choosing a resort.

I would think they will have it open in time for Toy Story Land. They still have walkways and buses.

Yes, but PSofiasMama was talking about the experience of the boat for the folks in the party.... and for me, I always look for ways to save my aching feet a few steps if there is time....

It’s a big bummer! How long is the walk from BC to HS?

Exactly. There are no buses to DHS from the Boardwalk, Beach & Yacht or Swan\Dolphin. Unless they are adding them in....

You can walk - but it's not an easy one - I think it takes me 15-20 mins from the Boardwalk - I go in July, so its hot, hot, hot!

And you have to walk under an overpass - I personally do not feel safe on that path at night....

They are adding buses while boats are down I believe.

It takes me about 15-20 minutes from Beach Club and Boardwalk is closer to DHS.

I think you are younger and more fit than I

Also have a Dad on an ECV -- is that walkway smooth? I can't remember. Last time I did it I was obsessively looking for alligators at the same time.....
