Fastpass return or replacement?

To be fair, that's been the rumor for months.

that’s what I was thinking

WDWMagic. The person, not the eponymous message board that he runs.

There is a post there from someone who seems to have a very good track record that leads me to believe the decision has been made as to the specifics of what they’re going to do, it’s ready to launch, but no specific timeline on when it will be announced. I also see where the admin seems to think the announcement is going to be “sooner rather than later”. I think they’re both credible- but there’s no specific timeline on when it will be announced that I saw with their comments either.

I really hope something is announced soon. At this point I don't even care what is. I just want to know so we can make a decision about if we are going to keep our November trip.

It be great if we did hear something but based on passed "credible source" rumors I won't be holding my breath.

*eponymous

I like that word. Probably won't get to use it other than when I play Words with Friends, but it's a good one to file away for future use.

It probably depends on who one considers credible. I rule out almost all of them. These 2 could well be wrong, but I don’t think so. They’ve been around a long time and have a proven track record. I’m skeptical in general though, they of course aren’t always right, so not holding my breath either.

In this blog post about when APs will begin sales again, this interesting nugget:

“It’s our understanding that the announcement of Annual Passes returning has now been delayed due to another tangentially-related release taking precedent. That is expected to be revealed the week that APs otherwise would’ve been highlighted.”

We are currently in the week APs were believed to be announced…

And can we catch a hint as that statement is right below a picture of the Genie lol.

Len Testa is having live chat tonight to discuss the "future of lines" at WDW tonight. As long as we're dabbling in rumors and theories- he might be thinking announcements are coming......."soon". He's also, very tongue in cheek, claiming the date for the chat was chosen completely at random.

If the tech were up to it, might they not go to virtual queues like ROTR for Tron and Galaxy Quest (and FOP) when they open?

From your lips to the Disney Press Release god's ears...

I have a feeling it’s perhaps coming or further leaking today.

I keep thinking of Dr Strange: “We’re in the endgame now.”

I do think we're very close. He (in my fatigue honest to goodness the guy's name left me, besides people call him Disney's cash loving Satan LOL) did say details would be coming soon on Genie...

I think a 5 PM live youtube chat means that he thinks some kind of info is going to drop late this afternoon. is just a rather weird time for a live chat.

 

[Garyjames220]

Is this a random live chat of his or does he do them quite often anyway

That’s my understanding of the rumors, yes.
