News Round Up 2018

Well, based on this there are some sections with coverings - certainly more than reports I saw from CM previews, but still seemed like a awful lot of the areas had the sun directly on them

Agreed.

Theres more booze at Epcot so you might not get the majority to agree with you that it is hotter. I will say that back in the early 2000s Disney did seem to have alot more cool down stations up around epcot. Now they offer alot less

Also just feels like more places to escape the heat with all the shops and stuff in WS - I do agree that if just out in the sun of WS it is probably worse ... I know we had a few times waiting to meet Snow White and the sun was just pounding down on us

AK definitely feels more humid though to me

First part looks pretty brutal in the sun but then does look like quite a bit of this one is covered ....

and I do love the giant Astro Blaster gun

Can I say how I find it funny the guy with an umbrella sitting underneath an umbrella

I definitely think that WDW got the best toy story land out of the four.

I saw that too - and was thinking "Um, maybe you need more cover when the one spot with cover, still requires using an umbrella"

Obviously I am saying this without riding it, but I think Slinky Dog Dash is just much better than any attraction at the other ones and the themeing seems at least as good if not better than the others. Plus - do any of the others have a full quick service location like this?

I believe Shanghai has a similar quick service.

For sure. I think for shade it may be fine depending on where the sun is at at that given time but clearly rain..not so much lol.

We had to leave Epcot one day during Food and Wine in September because the sun plus crowds was just completely miserable. And it was making the smell of the lamb at the NZ booth really carry.

AK is the park most likely to feel like you're in a mouth because of the humidity.

It's a funny argument - Epcot WS is bad because there's little shade and a LOT of walking. But at least there is often some level of breeze. AK in the summer is simply oppressive because the thick growth and narrow walkways eliminate the air circulation and retain the heat something awful. I am in on the vote that AK is the worst.

was it during the weekend? We did that once and never again - F&WF on a Saturday is just crazy!

(granted, this year we are going to go for opening day which likely won't be much better)

Looks like you can see Galaxy's Edge from Toy Story Land

 

[Lee Matthews]

Hearing up to 1,600 guests per hour on SSD if they use 3 trains, which sounds good.

Edit. Now reading its nearer to the 1,000 mark. Oops

From what I understand that view will go away as time goes on and more foliage is added.

I saw that 1,600 mentioned elsewhere as well (vs, i think 1,200 for 7DMT) - which I thought would be great if true, but sounded high. Maybe 1,600 is like absolute, but unrealistic, max?
