Interesting concept - knowing how crowded it is at the holidays, you get guaranteed access to Flight of Passage and other attractions and exclusive viewing option for EPCOT Forever and some other perks,

Pricing obviously isn't cheap, but won't be for any stay over the holidays so doesn't seem crazy

I wish this we're offered a week or two earlier while we're there. I would totally do it.

Is it sad that this might actually FINALLY get to ride the Speedway and experience Monsters Inc? I have never done those attractions/shows...lol.

I'm with you. I've done Monsters Inc once in 2007 when I went with extended family and they wanted to try it. I don't ever recall doing the speedway, but I'm sure I did it as a child.

Speedway is a weird one. My son insists on doing every visit. He's 10. He's been racing go karts for 4 years, and actually driving karts since 4, all which have a greater thrill level than the speedway....yet he still loves it. I feel it could be a lot better, if only on the decoration side of things, so this thing is cool. I do think the average adult visitor doesn't have much attraction to the speedway, but it definitely draws in the pre-driving age kids.

Sometimes that compensation is incredibly complicated to negotiate essentially rendering a show impossible to acquire.

The Drew Carey Show will likely never stream due to its complicated rights issues. Specifically the rights to content within the show, and not so much the show itself.

Same issue with the wonder years. There's too much music they'd have to get rights to. WKRP got around it by replacing all the music with generic rock instrumentals so at least it's syndicated.

Seemed like they were open long enough to make everyone happy? Of course, if you didn't get the email you'd have to have been following Blog Mickey for the link I guess

I love this show... if only because it means my kids will somewhat appreciate my favorite HS attraction!

They were open long enough to make me sad. lol. I jumped on 1.5 hours after receiving the email and there were still spots available. I couldn't make the trip the days they were available.

I went to see the Lion King and by the time I got out it was full! Probably couldn’t have finagled the trip anyway....
