News Round Up 2019

Well, you said yourself the buildings/overlay might be off. If the "beer Garden isn't as wide, causing traffic to go out and around. Like I said, I liked the fountain but we have been hung up at the X's in the shot from below when coming back down the spine, often people would gather around the fountain to view it. I don't think traffic will be stopped to look at a beer garden and it could be a small one that takes a smaller footprint than the fountain, To me, the fountain was always in a bad place as far as traffic was concerned.

I’ll agree to disagree with that. I’ve never had a problem with traffic flow near the fountain. At least nothing more than I find in any other park. Certainly not as bad as the area near Peter Pan to the Tangled toilets.

Yeah, the old FL is terrible, but I ain't a lying about being held up there. Had a fussy grandtink on the last trip and couldn't get through there. It was what it was. Will have to wait and see what the final plans are but I think straight line traffic through the spine would actually be a good idea. I think that might mean whatever "beer garden" they have there will be off to the side or something. Really, once InWest is demolished it will give them room to move things to that side.

I don’t think Kenny would make a big deal about Sofia... unless he was being sarcastic.

Hmmm. Any guesses on whether this carries over to WDW? (Doesn’t affect me but I’m curious)

I think they would encourage it in Florida. Just my opinion.

Interesting but what about people that have a reservation and a VIP tour? I understand not being able to buy a reservation essentially, obviously they need to have full control over the crowds in there but I cant see them offering no VIP experiences in any manner.

I’ve been told they will be allowed at World.

I want to stress this is a rumor. Yes major changes are coming to future world but things have been very fluid since they showed that concept art at D23 2017.

that being said, two very trusted insiders have confirmed this for the most part, granted that can still change......

I mean unless you buy a hotel reservation at one of their hotels, then you can pay to get in, but not directly!

Thank goodness we aren't going that first month. Still waiting to hear how much plasma my family will have to donate so that I can do a VIP tour of SWGE without them

not sure - they might not allow it anyway as would they still expect their guides to get them to the front of the line for the ride or into the Cantina even if a long line, etc.?

I wouldn't think so. The Disney Jr characters have a limited shelf life by nature.

 

[Firebird060]

Just use the Jedi mind trick to get to the front of the line in SWGE, I am sure it will work

 

[tlmadden73]

It was there in February. They just keep it covered unless they are using it for the little show they do with it. Not sure why they made that decision... maybe it was getting too much wear and tear when uncovered the whole day.
