News Round Up 2019

Also annoying when you have to go through security but not going to a park ... I now I was trying to get from POP to Geyser Point and thought to take the bus to MK and then the boat to Wilderness Lodge but you have to go through security once you get off the bus, even if just going right to the boat launches

I know it is impossible to not avoid these all together, but it is pretty annoying at the time

Definitely annoying. We had a split stay last week and were moving from the Poly to WL. Tried to avoid security going through our bag of dirty laundry that we planned to wash once we got to the WL, but couldn't find a convenient (i.e. monorail or boat) route to avoid it. It was kind of funny actually since we told the security guards our plight and they just felt the bag carefully from the outside. lol

Why in the world would they not want the gondolas to be in the security bubble?

In today's world that just seems... Not good.

Haven’t studied it but it seems like a pretty large undertaking to include the gondolas in the bubble

Disney attraction “businesses” shirts

Got excited for a minute and thought that they might actually produce a shirt with buttons.

Security - we were at Polynesian and had to experience the multiple security stops a few times. Honestly the lines at the resort were never long (and this was an October trip) so it never really made much of a difference.

I think Epcot was the worst? If I recall correctly, if you walked to TTC, you went through security there and then again at Epcot?

My memories of last trip are getting very fuzzy...better book another one...

Yes, it’s a frequent complaint that’s the Epcot monorail exit is not in the secure zone, so you need to go through security 2x if arriving at Epcot via monorail.

(But since the Epcot monorail entrance is in the secure zone, you can go from Epcot into MK without another security check)

It wouldn't be so bad if the monorail bag check at Epcot wasn't so painfully slow. It took 25 minutes to get through the last time I was there. And that was after going through security at the TTC.

Reportedly someone fell out of their seat at Space Mountain at Disneyland and the ride has been shut down for over a day now. Not quite sure what the story is but it’s starting to make the rounds on Twitter.

wait fell out how?!

That’s a good question. It’s just reports on Twitter. Apparently someone saw guests yelling upon return of their ride vehicle saying their friend had fallen out and then the ride shut down and hasn’t been open since. So take it for what you will. Obviously not much info at the moment.

Yes.

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

Yes.

In December we seen people going through it and wondered what it was. I'm guessing the door in the wall was just for access and the wall will probably come down.

There is a gate there that opens for full access. They have used this space for other events like Club Disney and Club Villain.

The only way would be if the lap restraint wasn't down, right? I've never been to DL, but I've seen the SM DL/DW comparisons.

And "fell out" meaning lifted a little, or like completely thrown from the car and missing?!

Unknown... it could’ve been something the guest did, a ride malfunction, or a false report. We just don’t know.

It's a hoax/prank by the riders
