Would you rather it say "Two Theme Parks. Three Deluxe Hotels.... and one nice but value hotel"?

I guess they could just say "Two Theme Parks. Four Hotels. "

I don't care what Universal is calling it, the only thing that makes this a "value" hotel is price I guess. It's a moderate all the way in my eyes. I look at Art of Animation as more of a moderate as well and i'd consider Cabana Bay to be much better in their offerings than AOA.

New brochure map looks colorful...

Any word on refurb/upgrades to Revenge of the Mummy? I know there had been talk about it previously.

When I went on it last weekend Imhotep doesn't steal the Reggie's soul at the beginning anymore, instead they have a sarcophagus with a light shine on it during his lines. Other than that didn't notice anything major.

That is simply the backup show when Imhotep is broken, not a permanent change.

Good to know. I've never seen it before always had just been a non moving imhotep or a black curatin when he was brokeb before.

Another nice catch, Gambit! :thumbs: The only thing I'm wondering is if Springfield is still considered part of the overall World Expo area, since all the labels there are for attractions and not areas of the park

Well, after studying this same map for a little while (I have the same one it seems, though I'm not sure if they've changed the actual park maps to reflect these changes), it looks like they specifically label new/popular areas, even though they mostly just label the rides, so it's possible that they could be considering Springfield a separate land now...

How many people here have been able to use the free wifi? I tried it twice (IOA croissant moon bakery), my phone connects to the wifi and it says the signal strength is good but I get no internet connection.

 

[MrRoamer]

It works pretty ok at the studios, I don't think I've ever had it work at IOA.

Thanks, next time I am over at studios I'll try there.

It is spotty...worked in City Walk Starbucks for a bit..over by Sinbad and New York it is strong..I don't think they are completely finished yet.

Was in studios today and Shrek broke down, lol, never thought that would happen to me

 

[MrRoamer]

lol What exactly does a breakdown on Shrek consist of? I'm envisioning the seats bouncing around wildly while the filmstrip tears and bubbles up like in Gremlins.

Now that would be cool lol!
Was right at the end, just before Fiona falls down the waterfall, movie just stopped and the curtain dropped. But hey, got a free express ticket out of it

USF Starbucks is going to be renovated

Is there an update on the room renovations over at RPR? Are those done already?
