Actually, since so many schools have started having extended fall breaks in the vicinity of Columbus Day, WDW crowds have become strong in October the past few years. It will be interesting to see what they do this year.
Not at Epcot... Food & Wine is what keeps that park in business.Isn't it the off season?
Ah, I forgot about that..So we should be seeing Frozen crowded..very interestingNot at Epcot... Food & Wine is what keeps that park in business.
The ride really is pretty good for being a retrofit of a 25+ year old attraction in a small show building. The problem is it simply doesn't belong there.considering how underwhelmed I was by 7 Dwarfs, your impression on this isn't quite as uplifting.

Well, it was originally planned to be longer, which is most people's complaint: it's too short.What did you expect...a loop?
I agree. What's there is a really good attraction, there's just not enough of it. If the original idea of three or four dark ride scenes was retained, it would have been a really strong attraction. I liked it, used my fast passes on it, but I certainly wouldn't wait in those long lines since the attraction is way too short to rank it in the class with the other Mountain attractions.Well, it was originally planned to be longer, which is most people's complaint: it's too short.
I still enjoy the ride though.

I don't know that they market it as an E-Ticket... they market it as their newest attraction added to the park, which is true.For a "D-Ticket" it's the perfect size. But Disney just markets it as an E Ticket, which leads to the low satisfaction people give it.
Well, to be honest, I was expecting it to be in MKWhat did you expect...a loop?

Like I said earlier, it was a huge mistake to retrofit this attraction. It limited what they could do when they had a giant empty plot of land for a ride sitting right next door. They just didn't want to pony up the money.No, just much much longer, with at least 3 dark scenes. People claim that they didn't have enough "room" to make it a longer attraction....next time build UP.

I wouldn't say it would have taken that long. They gutted the entire Maelstrom building except for the boat path (and they even added a small bit to the path).And they thought they didn't have the time. They were caught flat footed by the Frozenstorm and wanted something in the parks ASAP. That turned into what? Two years? if they had gone next door it would have been 300 million more and 5 years til it opened.
I'm not anti-FEA at all... I enjoy the ride for what it is. Even so it's a pretty good dark ride... if you can ever manage to get on it. I live in Orlando and i've been on it once.Honestly, when I went on this ride over the summer, I absolutely adored it. Do I wish it didn't come at the cost of Maelstrom? Absolutely. Could they have done more in a different spot? Perhaps. However, I still found this to be a greatly engaging and coherent attraction. Maelstrom was a one and done ride for me. Frozen made me want to hop right back in line and ride again. I know it's easy to pick at Disney, but sometimes, we got to pull it back a little and focus on the positives, not the negatives.
