I think this is the issue at hand. With this theme what could they have done? Sure some bigger better attractions but as for the theme itself I’m not sure what else they could do. They would have to create giant fake trees, a fence the size of a skyscraper, etc. in order for you to really feel like the size of a toy in a human world.

I really wish they would have put a kiddie play area in this land and it would have gone along with the theme. I think it would have been a nice addition.

of course they will take Everest down during the next several months.... to be down for 6+ months..... I have trips planned this fall and early next Feb. So of course that is the timing!! :crazy:

I think you are in luck - we are going back May 2020 so I am positive it will be down for us instead of you! :rotfl:

In reality I did prepare me and Micky (my SO) that two of our favorite rides (people mover and Everest) may be down when we go. He did the cringe face, but honestly, I was way more upset when Splash was down during our last October trip. I love that ride.
As long as Splash is up and running, I can handle other closures. It's gotten to the point where we go enough that if something is down, I know we'll get it next time.

Wouldn't surprise me, especially if attendance is down this fall. Disney might see the benefit of doing it now ahead of SWL crowds.

Side note: Did we ever figure out why Splash went down in the fall of last year? I know it was rumored to be because of another renovation this year, but I don't recall hearing of anything.

Yeah I’m not sure. The other refurb never happened I guess.

WDWNT says a Yeti fix is coming soon

WDWNT is again full of poop. They are taking a statement from Joe Rhode that is the same thing he's been saying for years and an insider statement saying "they are working on it", which is another statement that they've been saying for years - and saying the fix is imminent. Shame on you WDWNT.

Did I miss a People Mover refurb post?

I am sure that is some . but not sure if it is enough to affect things. Were there people waiting for Pandora to open and pushed back their vacations? I am sure.

But there are just as many going no matter one (me for example).

I am going in November of this year despite SWGE not opening yet, but since we haven't been since March. 2017, there will be PLENTY new for us - Pandora, Toy Story Land. So I opted to not "wait" for SWGE and

(NOTE: I am gambling (probably losing .. due to projected completion dates of SWGE) and getting an annual pass for Nov. 11, 2018 - Nov. 11, 2019 to experience the opening of TSL and MAYBE catching the opening of SWGE. Either way .. I am planning on 2-3 trips in that year potentially before SWGE opens.
(Just happens to work out .. the main reason getting an annual pass is to go on two 4-5 day trips before my daughter turns 3 and starts adding huge costs to the trips -- plus my sister's family is planning on going and we may meet them).

I dont know if you can compare TSL or Pandora to SW. The fanbase alone for SW is way bigger than either of the other franchises. We're also going this year several times even though SW isnt open yet. I just know many people are waiting to see SW:GE and putting off trips until then. I'm ok with lower crowds this summer. Works out well for me.
