    Disney Magic UK Staycation Cruise

    Thanks for posting this. Being in the same boat as you (no pun intended), from the UK, not having cruised before and wanting to scratch that Disney itch I too have considered this option and is good to get a detailed review of the experience. We've (I've) been debating whether to go for this or...

    Waits and Uptime Reports - Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    In line at 1pm today with 120 minute wait posted. Got off the ride at 2pm. First ride and got front row with the wife, hands down the best ride I've ever been on. Wasnt sure whether to rope drop or go during the day, pleased I went with the option I did and had the morning and afternoon to do...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    Surely Disney must be regretting putting those extra-extra magic hours on now, opening at 6am and paying all those CM's for that time simply isn't required. I wonder whether they'll alter this.

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    So as someone who is spoiler free for the most part, now that both are opened up as entrances, which would you recommend for the better wow factor?

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    I think the next 12 months will be a better indicator of overall performance. A lot of travellers (especially overseas) had their holiday plans in place by the time Disney announced SWGE would open in August and not December as everyone expected so would have been unable to change plans at the...

    Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

    Yep that's my assumption. Me Ship, The Olive closing for that long gives away that this is more than just an annual refurb job.

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    This may seem like a silly question but I haven't been following SW:GE that closely. I'll be at DHS on 9/17 for one day, we're not staying on-site so the earliest we can get in is 9am and will likely be there all day given the crowds. If I want to go to Oga's, am I correct in assuming the first...

    Universal Orlando August 1 Press Conference

    This all sounds very exciting. Looking at the current roster is anything expected/rumoured to close this fall for replacement? Looking at the last few years September is ripe for closures, Twister, Disaster, Dragon Challenge, T2, Sindbad, Hulk and these all tend to get announced the first week...

    Volcano Bay: General Discussion

    Benidorm water park accident: British tourist 'could be paralysed' - BBC News No idea if this is related to the weight issue on racers but could be the same manufacturer and they're being cautious whilst investigating? Probably coincidental but thought it may be worth mentioning

    Universal Orlando Price Increases (General)

    Yes I came to this decision last time we went for that amount of time and we actually found it a blessing in disguise to be honest! $26 is way too much to park a vehicle for the day, I really do feel for the families who save up a small fortune on tickets/hotels/car hire/flights only to turn up...

    Disneyland’s Attendance Issues Summer 2019

    UK tourist here, I've seen literally nothing regarding SW:GE for WDW so far in the form of day to day advertising. On TV I see Visit Orlando ads, Universal ads, even Disney ads but they are generic. (I should note the universal ones now have 'Hagrids now open' tagged on the end). My point...

    Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

    Dude, what's your endgame here? As far as I can tell you're not contributing anything to speculation and you're just clogging up this thread with irrelevant points from the past so I'm struggling to see what you're trying to achieve unless you're trolling. This is a speculation thread, if you...

    Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

    Regardless of whichever IP is being transferred in, how do the logistics work when changes happen this late in the game? Do they have backup maze treatments designed that they switch out or do they take the existing set for the original and wedge the IP into it? Even more curious if this was an...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but Extra Magic Hours at DHS is from 6am - 9am everyday until early November. EDIT: once SW:GE opens that is

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    I'm curious to see how the locker situation plays out on opening day. I would assume the full extended queue will hold more people than the amount of lockers can handle?

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    Hats off to the construction guys who are getting this to open 3 months after DL when they started a lot later and spent months demolishing the lights motor action show. Just want to show credit where it’s due as until very recently many credible members were seriously doubting this land would...
