That’s when only Kenny had the info. I still kind of don’t believe it.
Stop giving me hope!!!

Yeah IDK this is just strange to me. I mean I got it (after a while of course lol) that this refurb makes sense if they are preparing it for the 50th when it was during my trip but yeah. I'm just a bit perplexed here.Not to make things worse for those who won't be able to ride but I leave Jan. 9th so I will have a chance to ride prior to the second refurb thankfully. I don't think I have ever seen them do this before with an attraction.
Yep. I thought Pirates would go down in January to do the scene change.Yeah IDK this is just strange to me. I mean I got it (after a while of course lol) that this refurb makes sense if they are preparing it for the 50th when it was during my trip but yeah. I'm just a bit perplexed here.

That’s just it tho, they don’t like to take two headliners down at the same time. If splash is down pirates won’t go down until after that at the earliest.That’ll probably be the next announcement...

It depends on how long they need an attraction down. Feb - March is very possible. MK doesn’t have the capacity to take two major rides down. When more than one headliner breaks down during the day crowding is a huge issue.I don’t trust this. We’ve never seen them do this with a refurb before but yet they are. They won’t want to do it at spring break time...
So does that mean Hall of Presidents isn't considered a headliner? I mean I don't think it got the traffic like pirates for sure but I don't know Disney considers it a headliner or not.That’s just it tho, they don’t like to take two headliners down at the same time.

Takes a while for Imagineers to turn it into Olaf's Frozen SplashdownI am interested in why it needs a second refurb after being down from Aug. 28th to Nov. 16th, 2017.
No headliners are usually e tickets like Spalsh, Space, Pirates, Big Thunder.So does that mean Hall of Presidents isn't considered a headliner? I mean I don't think it got the traffic like pirates for sure but I don't know Disney considers it a headliner or not.
Makes sense for sure.No headliners are usually e tickets like Spalsh, Space, Pirates, Big Thunder.
This isn't a change. Food was always allowed through security. It was (and still is) liquids that are prohibited.I put my candy in my luggage. I didn't carry it on the plane since I always thought that you couldn't take food through security. I guess that has changed.
Couple of things.
1) We have Splash FPs for December - I get that it will be open, but if it was just refurbed, and will go down again in jan, is it going to be perfectly safe? Why need to take it down again so soon?
2) We always take candy and treats home with us. Will I need to put them in hold luggage now?
Well, in all fairness, not everyone goes multiple times a year and has a "next time". My sister is planning a January trip for the first time in 17 years. Definitely not a regular visitor.Splash will be there the next time, I promise...everyone can step back off the ledge now...
Safe? Are you serious? Disney has just a "few" lawyers on retainer...I don't think you have an issue there...
Second, I wouldn't put candy in your luggage...you may not like what you find later...
And as an aside - what's this thing about transporting candy? Is this something new?

This is our last trip. Ever. We can't go again. I mean, it's a theme park ride, and if any are down, then so be it, but, there isn't always a next time.Splash will be there the next time, I promise...everyone can step back off the ledge now...
The thing I disagree with is reopening...just keep it closed. People will complain there isn't something to do? Well that's the nature of the beast, isn't it?
Splash - and I've never waivered - is the pinnacle of WDI designed attractions in my opinion...the integration of story and system that they should and used to be strived for...
...but it's maintenance has been shoddy for over 15 years and I never saw the point in running it into the ground.
It sucks when it's down...no question...but the ends ultimately justify the means.
I mean, I know this, but refurbs are also about safety. Things are going downhill there, and why open something that is not ready?
