This may be a stupid question but is Chewy now only going to be in GE and not his old spot?

Chewie still has his meet in Launch Bay from 9a through park close.

How are the crowds this AM?

Only a posted 75 minute wait for MFSR @ 8:00a.

 

[yulilin3]

yeah saw 120 at 6:15am. It seems that the land will be good to visit in the evening, lots of people heading there first thing and then it quiets down

We ended up waiting about 85 minutes for Smugglers Run last night. I think we got in line a little after 8.

Hadn't seen this posted yet but apparently they have changes how the alcoholic blue and green milk are done. During passholder previews it was premixed, but now it is mixed when ordered (liquor is poured in cup, then "milk" poured on top. This seems to change the consistency and flavor a bit (and also apparently appears to be stronger than before)

Yeah, it was served this way when I had it at a later preview event (I had the alcoholic Green Milk). Definitely agree with the “runny and oily” comment in that blog post. The tequila just sort of sits there on top and it’s hard to really mix it around. So when you have a sip, prepare for the tequila.

I’m not familiar with Corazon Blanco tequila but I assume it’s a low/mid-market brand as it had that kind of harsh-ish taste (sorry to any fans!).

All of that being said - I usually prefer mixed when poured vs pre-mixed drinks any day, so this is probably a good thing.

This is interesting. We are going in November, and I thought we wouldn't be able to get on this ride even then. Is the 75 minute wait only for people with reservations? My family is more excited about riding this, and, although above my personal limit, 75 minutes isn't horrible. Despite my protest of Star Wars coming to WDW, I don't think I will win this one with my family, and will reluctantly wait and ride....but I won't enjoy it.

no 75 mins if for anyone in the land (there are no FastPasses for it) - other than those riding single rider where the wait is typically less than an hour - often quite a bit less)

You just have to get into the land, but even on day one people who came later in the morning got their boarding group and were in the land within a few hours and then could get on the line for the ride

so Blanco tequila is the type that is unagged or aged only for a short period of time on wood. Then Reposado is aged for a bit longer, and then Anejo is aged longer (there are some other stages, but these are the 3 main levels) so the Balnoc is typically the "harshest" as it didn't have that ageing process to help smooth it out

looking up this specific tequila it actually gets pretty decent ratings and saw a listed price of ~$25-30 for a 750ml bottle. So certianly not top shelf or anything, but a decent tequila

So what are the lines like today for things other than the MFSR ride? I am referring to everything but the items that have reservations and the ride. Yesterday (I know it was crazy because of opening) there were lines for EVERYTHING like milk, Doc Ondars, popcorn, docking bay 7. How are they today? For me I am wondering what the best strategy is for the land. I already have reservations for Ogas and Savi's. I figured going to the ride first during EEMH and then looking at shops for awhile in SWGE. Then we'll leave for a bit and do the rest of the park and then come back in before our Ogas reservation at 11:15 and then do Savi's and then get lunch before leaving. Any thoughts?

I'll admit, I'm shocked!!! It's only day 2, open to all and no boarding groups needed? How much of this is caused by Dorian I don't know. Still interesting.....

Not that there’s ever a good time for a hurricane, but this is not what Disney needed.

Thinking of all of you in Florida, Puerto Rico, and the surrounding coast. Stay safe!

I am too especially since I am suppose to be there next Friday. Well as long as the airline is still flying me in on Thursday and it is open I will be there lol

The land is huge, honestly it absorbs a lot of people really well, that plus the efficiency of loading of the falcon, I'm not surprised. Sure the storm MIGHT gave something to do with it. A queue of 90 minutes is actually quiet long for this attraction, meaning it is popular

I think the storm is a factor. 7DMT is 50 minutes right now, FOP is only 90 minutes, Soarin and test track are 20 and 30 minutes, respectively, and SDD is only 45 minutes!!!!!!! When has SDD EVER been that low? Lower wait times at every major attraction at every park can only mean the parks are not crowded. Few people want to vacation during a hurricane, especially with Disney and many airlines offering free rebooking.

Its definitely a factor. My sister and a couple of friends from South Florida were all going up with their families this weekend for Labor day. They have cancelled and are preparing for the storm now.

I have updated the front page. If anyone notices anything else that needs updating please let me know!

My husband texted me yesterday "Let's go back to Disney this weekend lol" and I texted back "There's a hurricane!", so yah we would have been back this weekend for Labor Day weekend if it wasn't for the hurricane. ^_^
