Just thought I'd share this live reaction to SDD shown here in UK. Only 1st half of the coaster but one of my favorite onride reactions that I have seen

Everything is better at night.

Agreed. I really wish we had more evening park hours, and less crazy 7AM openings. Especially in the summers where the nighttime hours are hard to come by. Open one park at noon instead of 9 am every day (heck I'd settle for a couple times a week) and leave it open until midnight. Please Disney. I don't want to go back to my hotel (where you also close the pool too early) at 9pm.

Don't get me started on the pool closing hours. It's a major factor in why we don't stay on site much, if ever, anymore.

Buzz and Woody always had a huge line. I don't think roaming characters works at Disney world. Then you just end up with everyone swarming them trying to get a picture.

Makes it even harder for adults, I'm not going to shove in front of a kid for a picture but I do like meeting characters.

Honestly I think the only way to solve this is to have more characters.

Maybe characters could roam and play in their lands if there were just overall more characters to meet to take some of the demand away.

Do roaming characters sign autographs and pose for pictures?

Sunrise from my balcony at BWI begs to differ.

Autographs no. They will do pictures, but they won't let a line form. So if you get a picture and people have started to line up they'll just move on.

I love Alison Hammond but even that seems a little OTT lol stick her on Rip Ride Rocket then see how she does

Watched Redd (new pirates character at Disneyland) do this several times a few Saturdays ago.

Sounds good but I bet it's similar to the tech Universal do with the Harry Potter characters

Sometimes I look at a product and really think....”I know someone will want this... but is there really an audience that warrants mass production..?”

Looks like some news coming out of the “To Infinity and Beyond” Media Update:

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is coming to Hollywood Studios next year and will feature Mater and Cruz Ramirez!

A physical model from Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!

This concept art for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway looks amazing!

Wait, what??? Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy? Will it be a ride? Like Tommorowland Speedway?

no idea, that tweet from the DIS is all I have seen so far ... I was wondering if it might be more a show/meet and greet?
