I think that is playing a role. I think a lot of Disneyland locals went and saw SWGE during the previews and are now waiting. I also think that many locals are still blocked out.

The biggest deal is likely that the "Deluxe" AP - which is the most common one - is blocked out until August 19th. We arrive at DL on August 18th and I fully intend to do GE on our first day, because I am worried what is going to happen when all those AP holders have access the next day. The first weekend day with access will be September 25th.

I do think it's a combo of (a) Crowds will be huge, stay away, (b) AP blackouts and (c) RotR not opening making the average "one visit only" fan in no rush to go.

I do think it will be a different case at WDW - but they also may not see massive crowds only because September remains still one of the slowest times of year.

Completely agree with this.

Since I have the exact same ride at my local amusement park - I do not find this a bother.

I consider this important news!

Hopefully these eventually show up inside every QS restaurant, plus a bunch of other locations throughout the parks. It just makes sense.

That's interesting since the AP blackout is still going on. Not surprised though.

They desperately need one in Casey's, but I don't know where they would put it.

Primeval Whirl Downtime Extended Through July 3 at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Glad we're not headed to WDW this summer. This is a "Can't Miss" ride in one of our favorite "lands" of Animal Kingdom.

Just saw this and noticed it does say that if the AP you have is blacked out you can by one of these passes for yourself and for a friend .... so wonder if they are doing this vs. lifting the blackouts

I've said for years when asked "what job do you want if you worked at WDW?" that I would want to run a craft beer bar in the American Pavilion ... welp, now at least it will exist!

That’s my guess. There would be a huge uproar if they lifted some of the blockouts.

Now here's a welcome change that makes a ton of sense. I just wonder how many people of a certain age will keep mistakenly referring to it as the "Regal Beagle"...

This makes total sense!!! A smokehouse, oh my god it will smell amazing.

Is this table service or quick service?
