I’m considering going to Knotts Berry farm next month just because it’s probably one of the cheaper parks plus Snoopy gotta love snoopy

 

Their rides look legit tho, the log ride is splash mountain level.

 

not lame. and it’s a great ride. when we went 2 years ago (today actually) I woke up early and my VQ failed…or At least it said it did. We ended up getting one after all and missed it. We ended up very kindly talking to guest services and they arranged to give us one for anytime after 2 pm on our last park day. They were even going to upgrade us to hopper if we didn’t have it already. Just the pass alone was fantastic and I would have never even asked about anything extra.

 

ROTR is really great when everything is working. When I was there last year Kylo was in b-mode for the final scene and the cannons were no longer moving with each shot in that attack scene.

 

When I did Mickey and Minnie runaway railway this trip the pre ride cartoon wasn’t working smh

 

I've heard the cannons are permanently down and Kylo is in B-mode a lot of the time, doesn't really take much away from the ride and if you didn't know they were supposed to be different then it doesn't even matter

 

So you can join the tron virtual queue at 1pm but you need to have scanned into the park before 1pm to do so, but you can’t park hop until 2pm, therefore if you go to another park in the morning you can’t ride Tron that day? Cool, makes sense, got it, good idea

 

You sure it's MK specially? Wasn't that what they did for ROTR and GOTG as well, but you can check in from any park I though.

 

You have to buy an ILL, or scan in at 2 and hope there's still VQ's left. Unless you have Extended Evening hours then there's a 6:00 VQ

 

Going next month as well, work is having a family day. Hoping to just eat fried chicken and boysenberry pie all day.

 

Bring me Chapeks head!

 

Demand your money back

 

It does seem like it's fairly possible to get a VQ at 2pm when you tap in to MK.

TRON Lightcycle Run Virtual Queue Chances for Success

 

why do you gotta solve the da vinci code to go to disneyworld man

 

shit now I’m kinda thinking about it

 

It's so dumb. I'm enjoying my time at Uni more and more as Disney gets worse. @JoshIsMediocre

 

Yeah, I haven't heard the cannons working in months, if at all this year. Glad I got that experience once, with full A-mode throughout the queue and ride. Had B mode last time I went and that ending just isn't nearly as good.

 

I was able to do both LL and VQ for Guardians yesterday since Epcot was open til 11 and had the extra VQ. What a fun ride, can’t wait to do it again

 

Only saw the cannons moving the first time I rode ROTR. They are the new yeti

 

So I’ve been following the progress of epic universe pretty closely, and it seems like these, barring any unknowns (very possible), will be the opening day attractions…

- Some sort of show (unknown)

How to Train Your Dragon:

- Viking themed interactive boat ride

Do you guys stay at the resorts or elsewhere? This year we sprung for Riviera and I’m so excited.

I have to learn the whole genie+,LL process.

 

Yeah we have stayed at the Coronado our last few times, it’s a dope spot

 

We stayed at All Star Movies in 2019 and had conjoined rooms with my sister and her family. We went alone in 2021 and stayed at Caribbean Beach. We love the skyliner so much and wanted to stay on the skyliner again but wanted to try somewhere different again

 

We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside our first time last year, and the grounds were really nice and quiet and the boat to Springs was nice. We splurged this year and stayed at Beach Club and that location can't be beat for us. We've now been spoiled and it will be hard to stay anywhere else

 

Port Orleans is my favorite resort on property. Have stayed at both sides, both great.
