Based on this review, sounds like RoL will have been worth the wait. Glad that many of the JBAwM complaints do not seem to be concerns for RoL.

Interesting. WDWNT was kind of harsh towards the show, calling it ''beautiful but boring'' and saying it doesn't engage the audience. It might be just a matter of different perspectives. We'll have to see how the final version goes and how it connects with the audience.

Crossing my fingers someone will be going by the 8th, but not holding my breath.

The construction down there is a mess; there's not adequate signage in my opinion. I think they need to hand out some maps of the construction areas or something. We saw a crash between car and bus. It was the car's fault, but it's just so confusing around there. My husband is a really good driver, has a great memory for roads, and we live in Atlanta, where there is always construction. But one day, we missed a turn or took a wrong turn trying to get to get to Epcot from WBC, and got all turned around. The temporary signage was just very poor. Then, I think we were headed to Disney Springs, and we ended up in the BUS LANE! Of course, we didn't see the sign that it was the bus lane until we were IN the bus lane. It was crazy! I will be very glad when it's all done!

I'm not fond of WDWNT myself but most thought the story lacked but the tech was great.

I think I might see if we'll go on Christmas for Star Wars. For the last couple of years my husband and I along with the in-laws have ended up at the movie theater on Christmas night. I'll have to see what they want to do because I for sure want to have a reserved seat for Star Wars (or any other movie because the movie theaters get packed on Christmas) either through seeing it in Fork & Screen/Cinema Suites or through the other AMC theater in town that is all reserved seating but no Dine-in.

Appears that the Fandango servers crashed last night just like when tickets for episode VII went on sale. I purchased mine for 12/15 just a few minutes ago without any issues. It will be interesting to hear how many tickets have been sold since midnight.

I bought mine around 12:10 so must've been before the crash.

I'm all booked for 12:01 on December 15th at my local cinema. So excited

Sad. Leveled, not a park. Call when you have one.....

All personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.

Several Easter eggs are in Moana. Personally I only saw one of these. Anyone else spot any?
