    Soft openings???

    You should not anticipate anything resembling a soft opening. Anything before the published opening date will be a reservation only preview.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Genuine and honest question here. Are you actually planning to go if they do not cancel, or are you just waiting for them to cancel your reservation so you don't have to deal with any potential penalties if you did it on your own?

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    The official language from the Disney Springs website says 100.4 or above will be refused admission. Temperature Screening All Guests are required to undergo temperature screenings upon arrival at Disney Springs. Guest Screening: During this initial period, Guests will undergo temperature...

    Rise of Resistance line method poll

    You are making assumptions based on anecdotal data about the number of WDW locals who match this visit profile. Nearly all locals (I'm one of them) do not spend all their waking days visiting the parks; it just does not happen. You are basing your impression on an inside-the-bubble view of...

    Rise of Resistance line method poll

    Despite what many think, MOST locals live normal lives with normal jobs that we go off to every day, just like everyone else. Please don’t judge ‘locals’ by what see of the YouTubers. MOST locals would pursue a boarding pass the same way we do a FastPass+ when we are planning to head to the...

    Rise of Resistance line method poll

    Most of your options would completely eliminate non Disney resort guests and locals from access which makes them all a non starter for me. I get that those staying in a Disney resort feel they are due ‘special privilege’ for doing so but that privilege should not wipe all others who represent...

    Drone Shows at WDW?

    While the concept seems like an obvious choice for Disney there is still a couple of barriers they cannot get past. Even if they could solve the 'don't fly over guests' issue they are at the mercy of Florida weather. Drones are very impacted by weather especially wind. Imagine having a nightly...

    Tripod question because I need a new camera backpack....

    Attaching your tripod to the side of the backpack will be just fine- I do it all the time. As long as it's collapsed length is of a size that 'could' fit into a backpack and doesn't extend out taller than you are you'll be fine.

    Interesting read about the Disney World firefighters

    This is the same firefighters union that tried to get legislation passed in Florida this year to modify the act that created the RCID specifically and only to benefit the firefighters union because they didn't get their way in their last contract negotiations. They tried to hide it under a...

    Possible World Drive expansion to mystery land buy out by Disney.

    The most likely scenario of them all is that the land came available for sale and Disney just grabbed up some adjacent property with absolutely no immediate plan for it other than keeping it out of the hands of a competitor.

    Aerial Images of Disney theme parks

    The center point of the No-Fly zone (per the FAA website) is just to the south of the Contemporary Resort as you can see from the pin on the below image. It extends up to 3,000 feet above ground level and for 3 nautical miles (6076 ft X 3 = 18,228 ft) in all directions. To give a sense, that...

    How does SDD compare?

    I'd describe it as kind of in between those 2 (which it seems was Disney's target). There are no large drops but a lot of curves like Thunder Mountain and it's a good deal longer than Mine Train.

    ***Official*** Toy Story Land Information Thread

    I used Mobile Order at Woody's Lunch box for lunch today around 11:45. They still have a little work to do on the mechanics of picking up your order (which I'm sure they'll sort out in the coming days) but it is indeed working. BTW, the Briscuit sandwich is REALLY good.

    D23 - international emails no more

    It is indeed highly likely that the new GDPR privacy requirement triggered this. We are going to see lots more of this with the implementation of those new rules.

    Tron Lightcycle Run coming to MK

    It's 'possible' they could run the train in shuttle mode where it goes from MSUSA to Storybook Circus and then backs up in the reverse back to MSUSA. It's certainly not ideal but they have done it in the past.

    Tron Lightcycle Run coming to MK

    If you look at the concept art you can see that the walkway is substantially opened up as you go under the Peoplemover track. The artwork seems to indicate adjustments to the Speedway track in order to create some more room back there for the flow of guests given the anticipated popularity...

    Dragon float caught on fire !!!!

    I believe that awning damage report came during the testing and training stage of things outside park hours before actual daily performances began

    Toy Story Land soft opening

    On the Pandora Preview you reserved your slot (yes AP holders only, no guests) online. Then a couple days before your actual preview window a FastPass was assigned to your MM+ profile for access. That FP had a window that matched the 2 hour block of time and date you chose when you signed up...

    How to film the fireworks

    Another tip in addition to all of the location tips above is to turn off auto focus on the camera once you have it set up for your location. Most video cameras will get all confused by the bright light and keep trying to refocus which will drive you crazy when viewing it back later.

    Do most disney restaurants accept disney gift cards?

    Your statement is indeed correct and Yachtsman is fine but it is important to keep in mind that many restaurants on property including most of Disney Springs are not Disney operated and may or may not take Disney Gift Cards. It is important to confirm in advance so you're not surprised after...
