Any chance do you think we might get pricing on merchandise during the media previews? I am eyeing the pins and the light-up Slinky Dog, and I am trying to create my budget for my trip.

There was a cart set up in TSL already during my preview but it wasn't selling any of the new merchandise, just other Toy Story stuff you can get elsewhere. My husband is going back into the land tomorrow, will media previews have begun by then? If so, I can ask him to have a look to see if anything is out and what the prices are.

Oh and Slinky Dog went down for a while due to lightening in the area but Aliens stayed running so I think that can run in the rain/storms.

Interesting! I wondered of AS2 could carry on in the rain.

That would be very much appreciated!!!!

For those who are there, we just RDd TSM. The line was huge and when we got to the stand by ,it said 45 minutes. but the Q was moving and we ended up riding by 9: 10 at a 9 park start time ,and they opened the park on time, but let you get up close to the theater earlier.

How was Mr. Potatoe head in the Toy Story Mania queue?

I’m obviously still following the news a bit, but just here and there. I want to decide about TSL when I visit in September - I’m nervous because I want it to be well-received, but I feel like I’ll enjoy it. Excited to see it in person!

Maybe I missed this somewhere in this thread or elsewhere but is the plan to run 2 slinky dog dash ride vehicles just staggered? I'm thinking that could help the line move a bit but didn't know if it was just for testing purposes.

I thought it was up to three trains running. There will be at least 2 running at a time though.

The 2 running at a time was what I was asking about so that's good news in my book.

I'm assuming the two launch sequences can act as lock brakes until a train clears a certain area. Also, there were brakes outside the station that I noticed one train was stopped at for a while. Also, I believe the station can house two trains at the same time like 7DMT. One train's guests are boarding while another train's guests are exiting. So, I believe they can run 4 trains at a time if things are running smoothly. I can be wrong about the station being like 7DMT. It is just what I have heard.

Sweet, that sounds great for getting people in and out quickly enough.

Should be two on the track and the third in the load station. Even with that capacity is low.

Thanks, I remember the capacity not being all that great but I would imagine it'd be slow as molasses if it was only 1 train so 2 running on the track at the same time is an plus in my mind lol.

Anyone try any of the food yet and can let us know what ya thought of it?

Any idea if Disney will close the line to SDD early before park closing next week? I think I remember Disney did this when Flight of Passage first opened. I have a couple "arriving late" days to Disney Hollywood Studios to ride it, and probably won't be able to get in line until about 30 minutes before park closing. So, I'm just curious if anyone thinks they will do this.

Yes still low capacity but Disney is pretty good about getting the trains out fast. Here is a vlogger I like that shows how efficient Disney is. If you look at the other parks he has done this with, you get a feeling for how well Disney is run.

Getting trains out fast only does so much. It’s still lower than needed capacity.

Sorry if this has been asked before, any advice on getting to HS on Saturday? How early will Disney buses be running? Better to drive ourselves? Take the bus? Those who tackled Pandora what advice do you have? I have my thoughts but suggestions as to how early to get there would be great? I’m excited but we only have Saturday to do opening as we are leaving on Sunday so I want to make sure we don’t mess up a plan (an “I don’t have a clue what to expect” plan).

Was in HS this morning, just got back a few minutes ago. Didn't go back to that area, but will be heading back tonight to do F! and from there go to TSMM. I'll see if I can see anything. A few nights ago, we could see behind the fence, as it was cracked open for a CM event. It looked fabulous!!

EDIT: We plan to be at HS around 8:30am Saturday. I know we won't be anywhere near the first people and that's fine with us. Just as long as we get in. We've got SDD FP+ for 10:30am.

This is correct. 4 trains in use at a time.
