Greetings From Walt Disney World!!!

#reunion2012

Good Morning,

Finally after getting over my jet lag yesterday and having a busy schedule yesterday which included lunch at Be Our Guest Restaurant in the New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom, thanks Len, I was able to get some observations done on a couple of changes made to some of the attractions to help accommodate guests with wheelchairs and scooters.  

The one that actually made the most sense to me was the Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor in Tomorrowland.  Disney has done away with the separate queue line for the wheelchairs and scooters from the main queue.  Over the years I have seen Disney redo their queue lines to make this happen on many of their attractions to, in my opinion, discourage people from getting wheelchairs to just get front of the line access.  A number of attractions like the Laugh floor had the separate line for the guests to go through with wheelchairs and I have heard other guests comment that the disabled guests are getting special privileges and getting front of the line access.  By experience this is definitely not the case, and looks like Disney has started to work on increasing the experience received by the guest in wheelchairs so that they can actually see the well themed queue lines.

Well I’m off to Hollywood Studios today and I’ll get back to  y’all with changes I see there and some tips by tomorrow.  Till Then.

New Attractions Opening For the First Week of December

Good Morning Readers,

Walt Disney World Resort has announced this week the opening date for the new Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios on December 6th, 2012.  This is coinciding with the grand opening of the New Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom and the Refurbished Test Track in Epcot.

I have been wondering what Disney was going to do with the area that once housed the Journey to Narnia attraction that had closed last year.  I imagine that during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and the days leading up to the official grand opening, there will be previews and limited operations to make sure that all is ready for general run.

I look forward to seeing the new attraction while I am down at the Disney World Resort at the beginning of December to cover the grand opening of Fantasyland and other events.
