Disney World Tips and Tricks



They temporarily blocked people from going through Toy Story Land to the main hub.
 
Yeah. We got stuck in the dark before Space Mountain. I’ve gotten stuck in the Space Mountain section with the lights on before and that was cool.

We took our youngest for the first time when he was 6 weeks old. When the People Mover sped up he had the biggest smile on his face. We knew we had a thrill seeker at that point.
 
We were stuck in Spaceship Earth for 15 minutes before. I didn’t notice because I always take an alcohol assisted nap on it.

We get stuck at least 50% of the time. In fact, we've been escorted off of the broken down ride more than once. When they turn all the lights on, you realize just how infrequently they bother to clean anything outside of the cars. Same story with Test Track. It's like, run a vacuum back there every now and then.

After watching Disney Dan do a park open to close (or whenever he hit the "record" for most rides in a day) gave me a new appreciation for it. I don't think I've been on since, but every time we walk by I think I should go ride it for an hour or two to relax.

Test Track is really showing it’s age even though the new Test Track isn’t even 11 years old.

We rode Cosmic Rewind twice today. It’s a good ride. The next iteration of Space Mountain and Rockin Rollercoaster. Not sure if it’s my favorite coaster at Disney though.

What song did you get? Is it still running the Christmas overlay?

We had Disco Inferno and it was perfect.
 
Got Disco Inferno twice and it was perfect.

My 10 year old guessed out of the blue that Run Run Rudolph was the Christmas song and he was right (it’s part of a medley).
 
I miss Jeremy Irons (and Walter Cronkite) in Spaceship Earth.

SE was my daughters favorite non-Soarin’ ride, including the lifeless Frozen ride.
 
Soarin’ is definitely the best Disney ride. But Frozen is lifeless? What?
 
Soarin' is lifeless CGI. Frozen was a disappointment too. Flight of Passage and Na'vi River Journey are better versions of both and opened not too long after them.

Yeah, agreed.

Though FoP was a little too intense for her.
 
"Collection of weird vignettes" describes Soarin' and Frozen. Both rides used to tell a cohesive story about a real place.

Let's unpack this a little bit because both Soarins were my favorite rides. What "story" was told in the first Soarin? Maybe I just didn't pay enough attention but to me it's always been the experience of hang gliding over incredible places. The ride needed a facelift especially in the era of HD and 4k and I love how they expanded it to sites around the world.
