I check this news thread every day in hopes that Smash Mouth is playing Food & Wine during our vacation this November. LOL

I hadn’t caught that! Where is the ride access?

There's a cylinder coming out the bottom in the picture, but it seems very...vertical. Again though, concept art is not the final construction plan.

I had noticed that but just couldn’t picture an elevator system efficient enough to get all the riders up AND down.

Yes I believe WoL will become a major new spot for characters. Innoventions will go the way of the Dodo.

An insult to Dodos.

My thought would be something like an escalator like people mover maybe coming from the inside side of the park.

Could the Spacedhip earth ride access and queue possibly be moving back to where the exit is now? In project tomorrow?

I may be over analyzing the Epcot picture but does the entrance fountain look like it has a homage to the original fountain that had the lucite-looking “spires”?? (Totally the wrong word to describe them but it’s early and the coffee is still kicking in)

I tend to be an Epcot purist just due to fond nostalgia from childhood trips and I love the concept art! It’s very exciting!!

I think that is very possible and would fit - more space back there and is a better fit now that the line can sometimes back up for it (and I am sure will only increase after a major redo) so that mass of people takes away from the clean look of the entrance way, so makes sense to move it to the back

https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/myma...-to-fastpass-reduce-misuse-of-the-service.htm

The additional restriction is that if you have 10-day tickets but only a 4-night reservation, you will only be able to book fastpasses in your 60-day window for the part where you are on property (basically 5 days worth in this scenario). Then, you'll have to wait until your 30-day window opens to book the rest.

makes sense - this seems to get at also preventing the true "throwaway room" where you reserve a cheap room for one night and keep it, pay for it, but don't use it but then had the 60 day booking window for the length of your ticket

Definitely think this is related to Galaxy's Edge as I could see people buying longer tickets and paying for one night at All Stars or whatever and try to book FP for the Galaxy's Edge attraction 70 days out ... now to do that they would have to book the room for 10 days as well


Wonder what happens if you book the room for 10 days, make your FP and then don't cancel but reduce your stay to only 1 night
