Ok but what about us at WDW lol

This is wrong right? It was closed for a year or 2 during GE construction but it has been open for a while. I KNOW we rode it on our Honeymoon in April.

When I was there, that part of the queue wasn't in used and blocked off by a baracade. Looked like it was designed to be for FPP. As I was standing under the sun for 30 minutes with zero shade it just made me upset to see shade over a complete empty set of switch backs.

This is the Disneyland Paris park account. That's what park they are referring to.

The Festival of Fantasy parade was held for 10-15 minutes today during the parade. Anyone heard what happened? We hung with Smee and Tink at Liberty Square. Merida and her band started shooting arrows at Smee! Something was up in the hub.

Sounds like a problem with one of the parade units.

Looks like Cabana Bay got a pop up Stranger Things photo room for HHN. It's next to Bayliner Diner and you must show a Universal room key to get in. Pictures are popping up on social media. It's the living room and Scoops Ahoy sets.

My son who works at MK said one of the floats broke down and they had to bring a tractor in to tow it out of the way.

I just posted this in the GF thread, but didn't see it shared here yet.

Not surprised. They did this for Disneyland.

So does that mean that the crowds are less than expected?

Yes and no. They sometimes block the cms out in anticipation and the lessen the blockouts later. It’s so they don’t have to do the reverse.

Thanks, hoping for less crowds during our trip in !!!!16 DAYS!!!! We were some who booked early to MISS the SW:GE opening, and paid for non-refundable air fare, but have come to terms with it by scheduling more tours and resort events. We'll take advantage of the Extra Early HS openings, and I do have an Oga's Cantina reservation so we can get in an take a look around, but unless the crowds have shrunk, will probably not stand in line for the ride.

I was thinking about Epcot - and I've always found it to be a 2-day park, but with everything closed is it really going to be anymore? I mean we have 6 things in Future World (Land, Test Track, M:S, Seas, Imagination & SSE) and even SSE is going to go down soon I'm sure. Get there early and that whole lot can be done before noon. Then it just depends on what's going on in World Showcase - but it sure seems like for now the park is going to be in semi-disarry for a while. Similar to the shape DHS was in for the last 3 years.

I think with all the dining and the new night time show coming I think it stays a great "hopable" park ... But for those that don't have park hopers hard to justify more than one day there for the average vacationer for there next few years I think

I went the week before Labor Day to avoid SWGE, and was then there for opening. We ended up going to SW the evening of opening day and it was fine.
