November/December 2025 Refurbs...Big Thunder reopened on November 2! Casey Jr & Storybookland reopen Nov. 14!

Regarding Big Thunder, some are calling it steam. I think it is more of a mist. There is a little drip of water on the right side but I think it is just beyond reach.

Did you ride it yesterday? Did you feel like it was smoother and faster?

Apparently the waterfalls are back. Disneyscoopguy posted a video on Instagram.

Waterfalls are back. And just as wet as before. My guess is they added the misters for when they turn off the waterfall fo aesthetic reasons. B

Lmao of course the day I fly back

Haha I was in WDW and had no clue! Just realized this is DL board. Oopsie.

We went to AK that day and also didn’t know Zootopia would be opened. We qualified for the 7am VQ drop but didn’t find out until 8am lol. So when we were passing the attraction, asked a CM about how to do the 1pm VQ because we couldn’t find where the link may be. They said 1pm was CMs only and thenpixie dusted us with immediate entry

I don't get why Disney fans keep falling for bate

First the Queen is fired...now the Waterfalls are gone..ohh wait they are not

People just jumping to conclusions before even reaching out to Disney

Well, in all fairness, there were no waterfalls on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday.

My point is did people ask Disney or just see some video and get mad

Like give things a week, let Freshbaked and others with connections at least get some statements over jut always choosing to believe some video you see

The Queen didn't get fired, she is a seasonal character

The Mist Falls might be B mode for when the waterfalls don't work

 

[BriannaRuth]

If she's seasonal now, she hasn't been in the past. I've often seen her in the summer.

I wasn’t mad, just sad. Glad the waterfalls are back!!

She has been out in the summer before....thats also when the mini parade happens and she was apart of that but now its the holidays and it doesn't mean no Villains but less then Halloween time

I think this is why Disney released all the characters coming for a limited time this holiday season, so people understand Max is here for 2 months and then is gone....he can come back but only a few characters are here year round like Mickey, and Pooh

I get what you are saying, but I also get why people might see something and fear the worst.

Most of us don't have connections at Disney that we can reach out to for more info, and it's kinda terrifying to save up thousands of dollars and spend 6+ months prepping for a trip... just to find out something you cherish may be gone during your visit (if not forever). Not everyone can just circle back to the parks in a month and try again.

We've seen Disney make unpopular moves to reduce their own costs and to squeeze more money out of guests, so I don't think it's crazy for people to see something and get nervous about what it might mean in the grand scheme.

But it was less then a week

People go up in arms in one day

My point is wait

Most people on these sites will get updates and I'm just tired of all the Disney, if people dont like Disney then stop going and stop supporting them but every time Disney does ANYTHING everyone jumps down there throats before we even have a chance know whats going on

Disneyland is suppose to be fun and then the mod gets mad about something they know nothing about and days later are proven wrong.

Especially with AI now, we all need to step back and wait and stop being just reactions
