Heck yeah, Rescue Rangers!! They should bring in some more of the 80s/90s cartoon IP to the parks, since the children of those millennials are at prime WDW age.

Also, could you imagine a Gargoyles-themed ride a la FOP?!

Frozen Sing-a-long has increased capacity from the last time I was here. They’re loading every row with one seat between groups. So we’re close to 100%.

Goofy was on the roof of the Hyperion Theater. I’ve never seen that before, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done it before.

They closed off one side of the relaxation station in launch bay, but the other side is still open. The tables are gone and the signage and stickers are gone, but it’s still there and available today.

Slinky Dog Dash and Midway Mania have their stickers removed from the extended que.

The Little Mermaid show has had their stickers removed too. The show has never been open since Covid hit, so I’m not sure why they’d remove them if they didn’t have plans.

I thought this show was closed forever, but maybe there is hope. I noticed the marquee was still there when I went. I LOVE this one so much!

@Helvetica I am rooting for you! I know the tips posted here are very helpful, I really REALLY want you to get a BG! Thanks for the Little Mermaid update especially. I am a sucker for live shows so I’m hoping we see more return soon.

Ahhhh! Cuteness overload

The Indians Jones Relaxation Station is open today after it was reportedly closed. You just have to get there through the backlot express. Only two of the five sections are open. The signage is no longer there, so maybe they just consider it overflow for Backlot Express.

It looks like the 6th time is the charm. Boarding Group 99.

Edit:



It looks like UPS delivers to Batuu.





Backstage que open at Smugglers Run. It’s been open before, but I never went when it was open before.

I guess they didn't have time for the last 14 months. I know they were preserving cash, but seems like they should've made better use of the time, especially after it was clear they weren't headed to bankruptcy.

That's not a relaxation station, it's an overflow waiting area for Backlot Express...which is why the entrance is near Backlot Express

And you can only ride Rise OR the new Spider-Man ride- not both in the same day. I'll ride Spidey once but my other days will still be going to Rise.

Ugh - vitrual queues suck!

It actually doesn't say that - it says, "Guests may only enter a virtual queue once per day per attraction." So theoretically you can do both, though I am not sure how timing would work if there is only one sign-up window.

Hope the dino PJs come back in Dinoland before long.

We were there May3-10 and they had their Dino costumes on during a boat ride so maybe it’s just random?

There are two signup windows. You would need to complete your Rise ride before noon in order to be eligible for the noon drop of Web Slingers

"Joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to experience WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. Guests may only enter a virtual queue once per day for each attraction, and may not hold a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure at the same time."

Posted on the Spider-man attraction page. I guess you could try to get it for different times?

Yeah, I believe it is as @unbanshee says, you'd have to use the two diffrerent windows because you can't have more than one at once. If there was in fact availability, you could theoretically get the other one after you ride the first one, but we all know how availability has been for Rise. It's just not against the rules to ride both in the same day, but it may not be possible in practice.

Personally I find it ridiculous that I have to try my luck in a lottery at 7 AM to ride something.

Good morning! I just wanted to say that I've been around the disboards for a long time and this group is one of the nicest, most pleasant, helpful groups of people on a thread that I've ever seen. Somehow I just started following this thread a couple days ago (how did I miss it?!) and am just blown away by the light hearted and helpful nature of the posters here.

Totally agree, fingers crossed this thread stays a nicely kept secret
