Just had my first go at the new lightning lane selection process for Disney World and man, it is kind of stressful trying to figure out what time I want to do every ride for each day that we bought it. I'll see if I like this way better than Genie+ but I kind of liked only worrying about 1 ride at a time with that method
So it’s the same ride system Universal has been using for 20yrs? Was really hoping for something different. I’m sure the ride will still be good but some innovation would be cool.
Parks panel day Anybody got predictions? For WDW the most sure thing is the DAK stuff with Tropical Americas and the Zootopia show. How much they get into Beyond Big Thunder and Villains Land is probably the big question mark.
I found a live stream of the parks panel from someone in the audience This is kicking off with a cover band dressed as Alice In Wonderland characters. Alice is now singing Blondie songs.
Actual panel starting. Starting with a video of Patrick the flight attendant from Soarin. Very meta. Making jokes about bloggers over hyping announcements
As scummy as it would have been, they should have just had you pay to stream it from home. Very easily could have made a bunch of money charging $10 bucks for access.
"Everything we are going to share with tonight is in active development. I just want to be clear. This isn't blue sky" Huge cheers
Ok these meta theme park nerd humour music numbers are all fun and all, but let's start with the announcements already.
Avatar at Disneyland first announcement. Coming to DCA. Going to be different than DAK's. Based on the landscapes featured in the sequel movies. Going to feature an innovative boat ride.
I’m curious as to where in the park they’ll fit it in. Did they mention it? Are they gonna be removing a section of the park to make this work?
Concept art makes it look like an Avatar version of Pirates. I’m open to a modern take of a water ride. Should be interesting.
Why did they spend all this money for these performances and then limit the number of people who could actually watch it? So dumb. I’m calling it now though that big portions of this are going to be made into a Disney+ special.
