Who thought no shade for the queues was a good idea?!? No way I'm standing in line for those in the blazing sun.

The queue lines aren't completely out in the open, they both have portions that are undercover, just no air conditioning anywhere.

It's going to be really rough. We're locals and were at a farmers market this morning - the heat and humidity are intense, we lasted 15 minutes before my toddler was literally dripping in sweat and we had to leave. I couldn't stand in those lines for more than a few minutes before I'd give up! I've seen a few people in the media event mention the heat and lack of shade but I wish everyone was talking about it so people know to be prepared.

The one I saw yesterday (don't remember which one) was completely out in the open, with no cover or shade until you get in the building. I saw one fan in the queue.

Will Toy story land stay open during the fireworks? I know TSMM used to close.

When we did our preview it was a bit hard to tell because we just walked through, but I would guess that AS2 has about 50% outdoors and 50% undercover, and SDD maybe a little more undercover? It's really hard to tell because I don't know how fast the queues will move. The queues do have fans in them, but they are few and far between.

Are you sure it closed? my last two trips I went on TSMM after F! before leaving the park for the night.

Depending on the day/season, the Star Wars fireworks may start right at the park closing time (minutes after F! ends). So TSMM being closed would be more of a consequence of the park closing and not of the fireworks starting.

Toy Story stopped closing for fireworks probably over a year ago. They had a fallout section cleared for fireworks but that has all be changed.

I don't see TSL closing for any fireworks

I wonder whether there's any cooling in the covered portions of the queue, and the AS2 ride building? If not, they may be as uncomfortable as waiting out in the sun. I remember back in the old days, before energy conservation was a thing, the covered queues in Fantasyland (like Peter Pan & Mr. Toad) were heavily air-conditioned, with a strong flow of ice cold air coming out of vents on the canopy.

I'm also wondering whether Disney ran water lines to put misters on the outdoor fans.

Awesome. Thanks

Where did you see this? I’m here now and heading to blizzard beach for the day but could definitely be persuaded to change my plans!

On facebook...on an online group. Could just be a rumor, but if I was there I'd be going to see if its open!! Someone please post if it is.

If there was any cooling system, they weren't running it during our preview. We had a very short wait by the loading area for SDD when they were reopening after a weather closure, and just for those few minutes, it was HOT! There was no air circulation, it was very stuffy.

Maybe they should have the free water stands like they had when BOG first opened..that was in May when we were there...the line was well out into Fantasy Land...July is much worse and I'm sure there will be plenty of people out in the open.

 

[Pdollar88]

Just waiting for them to announce the dates and open registration for the AP time in September.

 

[agamble]

I was more surprised it happened BEFORE officially opening, after time it is expected for sure.

Disneyland regular here. That is a problem with Mater's too. The one plus is that when they've repaired the floor they've just closed one side of the ride at a time so the ride can still remain open.

I think that's very likely. They also had them when waits for FEA were in the multi-hour range, when Pandora opened, and at various places around DAK for the first couple of years after they realized how poor airflow was in the park.

In the land for soft opening now

 

[Spaghetti Cat]

Why would they design a new land without shade in central Florida?

They're doing it to keep the lines short, both due to opting-out and attrition.

A while back they started making the fireworks out of flushable wipes and easily dissolved RV toilet paper so they don't need to keep the fallout area clear, and thus TSMM stays open.

Yep land is open even with the rain.
