More Splash Mountain items being removed. Brer Rabbit statue in the Hub is now gone.

Hopefully doesn't mean they're close to closing the ride... want to ride it one more time

It could also be a sign of the new 50th statues going up soon.

Is it me or do they have way more options than we do at four parks?

They always do.

Disney Installs Lightning Lane Sticker Over FastPass Sign at Magic Kingdom

Cheap overlay on some of the signs for now. Will hopefully be replaced with more permanent signs later.

Tomorrowland Speedway is great!

So this is why they are charging us on everything. They need to buy new signs!

It just occurred to me that I’m probably still going to call it Fastpass for the next 10 years. I’m one of those people who only very recently stopped calling DHS “MGM”. And don’t even get me started on Downtown Disney.

I work with refrigeration systems, so seeing the abbreviation LL just reads as liquid line to me.

Is that the queue with an inline bar

Yeah, it's hit or miss at Universal as to if you will need it - they'll still sell it to you regardless!

I was apprehensive about getting it for HHN, but the guy was right. The lines fo rthe haunted houses were incedible - we'd probably only have gotten to see two of them without the pass. Of course, they mostly weren't all that impressive, but we did get our money's worth.

It is totally worth it at HHN.

Wow we were just at GF and took the monorail. That would’ve been a disaster with ds. We did see it stopped many times while staying there for 3 nights

Good Morning Everybody!



Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge Resumes Food Service

Had been just drinks since it reopened.

Like others, I’m a little disappointed that the Lightning Lane doesn’t have Lightning McQueen. It would make for a perfect tshirt: I’m not a Lightning Laner- I’m a Mater Waiter! (Or alternatively from Disney’s point of view- Don’t be a Mater Waiter- ride in the Lightning Lane! Hope this made someone chuckle). Have a great day, y’all.

Greece is Petitioning to be the Next Epcot Pavilion.

Greece is Petitioning to be the Next Epcot Pavilion.

Disney should totally do it! We could get Hercules and Meg!

Greece is Petitioning to be the Next Epcot Pavilion.

Yes! That would be one of my most wanted countries to be added. They could make some beautiful classical Greek style buildings, and as @Naomeri said, Hercules is a natural fit. Maybe even, dare I hope, a ride! I do hope they can make this thing happen.

Greece is Petitioning to be the Next Epcot Pavilion.

If Greece was willing to throw money at it then it would be more likely but a random petition from fans isn't going to do anything. It would be a nice addition though.

Oh, I agree it's a longshot, but at least there is some interest. It has to start somewhere, doesn't it?

Yes! Hercules, Meg, Pain and Panic
