Dang. I think somebody forgot to make sure none of the Disney villains got close enough to curse this ride during construction.

We were always able to game FP+ too. I will never understand the excitement over giving Disney money for something that used to be included with the price of a ticket and/or resort stay.

We don't know anything about whatever new system they are coming up with. I wouldn't call it excitement. I am, however, ready for a change.

First creepy Small World with no music, now this... the 2020 parks are starting to look too much like the Kingdom Keepers series

Whatever the new FP+ system becomes, you can bet resort guests will get some sort of advantage with it.

They will protect their Bubble.

Value us as much as the NBA bubble, Disney.

I'm sure this was talked about a couple of days ago, but I completely missed the conversation if so.

The Disney World expansion was announced earlier this year and Brightline hopes to open the station in 2022.

Sounds interesting...

Oooh, Small World without music? That's something I wish they would do for Halloween parties. Way scarier than Haunted Mansion.

At all costs.

I was thinking about this the other day and forgot when the completion date was and if it was still in the budget. I dont know how far along they are, but seeing how long it took the light rail station from Denver Airport to Downtown Denver took, 2022 seems very optimistic

This is why I don't see a reason to be outraged over the change. We always stay onsite.

Turn off the lights in the building and use strobe lights to shine the dolls that the boat is passing by to give them a nice little scare

Sounds like the main station will be done in 2022, Disney would follow afterwards. I realized my post was OT after the fact, this just seems a good central thread for news.

How does it relate it to the coronavirus impact on DW?

It will definitely be delayed.

It adjacently relates to COVID. We dont know how travel will be by then, maybe people would prefer a bullet train over DME

FP- didn’t give on-site guests a benefit, FP+ did but arguably with some research, effort, and a bit of luck off-site guests could have just as much success. I’m not convinced whatever new method we get will definitely benefit Disney bubble guests as much as it will definitely benefit those willing to lay out extra cash on it, although I will be thrilled if it does!

ETA - I think COVID may have changed the narrative for the better here. When this conversation happened before all this Disney was drawing in people like crazy and up charging like crazy, and they didn’t need incentives to stay on site as much as they may now.

I agreed with him 100% about this when he said it on the show. I don’t usually agree with Craig lol.

You all seen DLP has delayed DLH and sequoia Lodge reopening and will RECLOSE cheyenne?

Well, cases are climbing and travel bans/quarantines are climbing too in EU so I can’t say I’m surprised...

Martin’s language on FP+ ending permanently continues to get more and more direct...
