I can see issues with Wreck it Ralph 2 being that it becomes dated quickly. Things like Snapchat, FB, Oh My Disney all featured could be extinct 10 years from now. Disney movies won’t be though and children in the future might not understand the references.
And still not enough info for those of us going in the next 3 weeks to be able to change plans if we need to. They should be rolling things out no less than 30 days due to their own timelines they have us adhere to. It's ridiculous.
If I may what kind of info do you need? I’ve never used rider swap so I’m not exactly sure.

I felt the same way about Maui's "tweeting" joke in Moana. Seemed like it belonged in a DreamWorks movie, not Disney. But with a movie called "Ralph Breaks the Internet" I'm not sure how they could avoid referencing things that will likely not be around years from now.

The princess and Oh My Disney scene is really funny but I’m still surprised that Disney is willing to poke fun at its own princesses.
Lots of corporate synergy going on too. Star Wars, Oh My Disney, Pixar, etc.

But watch any movie from the 80's or 90's and they are outdated. Sure Clueless is still good but the technology then is way different. While animated movies do tend to be more timeless there's no reason they need to be and can't use/be a part of the pop culture of the moment. It's based off video games to start with so I would expect it to not be as relevant 10 years from now.
There have been some saying that everyone will have to have the FP for the ride that rider swap uses, but for us that makes no sense. My wife and our friends will all go on Space while my DS(3) and infant DD will go over to Winnie the Pooh. He and I have a FP for Pooh at the same time so that we don't have to wait around trying to keep a toddler calm. If I have to drop the Pooh FP to enable the Space thing, I will be frustrated to say the least.

I wondered how many "kids today" got half the references in the first movie. I mean, Q-bert and Pac-Man jokes? It really wasn't topical to current games, even Sugar Rush felt like a game from 10 years ago, though I guess the kids still play Mario Cart.
But I get what your saying, Disney usually tries to make movies timeless, and this movie will definitely feel of it's time.
Yeah I see that. I think Pac-Man has stood the test of time for the most part. I am interested to see this movie 10 years from now and see what has changed.

Yeah, and on top of that this could be a terrible year for a movie like this to come out. Whether Snapchat will survive 2018 is already in question, and there's a push to have Facebook broken up and sold off because it may have too strong a monopoly. Some of the references made in this film may not even last one or two years, let alone ten. While I didn't like Wreck-it Ralph, it at least seemed like a sweet quasi-period piece (some kind of weird mash-up of the 80s and 2010s, like how Riverdale is somehow both current and the 1950s) but this just seems like The Emoji Movie. I feel like it'll be most successful at reinvigorating people's opinions of the Princesses, since they've probably withstood the test of time more so than any other Disney character (aside from Mickey, of course)

As someone who is on Disney message boards daily, I had no idea what "Oh My Disney" was. I'm still not sure I do. Is the site that popular to deserve a mention in this movie?

This closure includes: ESPN Zone, Rainforest Cafe, Earl of Sandwich, AMC Theatre, and the new-ish Starbucks (across from the Monorail station).
"The folks at Starbucks can’t be thrilled that shortly after the opening of their newest Disneyland location they are being forced to close. We do expect them to get a spot in the new hotel facility." No kidding!

yeah, but then it just becomes retro, right? I mean, a lot of the references in the first Wreck It Ralph were games that kids have no idea about

Right, if the report is true, if you want to ride Space via rider swap you would also need a FP for Space - but you can go do things with the young ones that don't require a FP ... or just not go on Space
It's to prevent people from double dipping as if you could go ton Space without a FP using rider swap, you are sort of getting 2 FP

Yeah, I think the idea is that people take advantage of rider swap to have several people ride twice on a single FP vs a family without an infant that only gets to ride it once. (I honestly don't know since it's been a long time since DD used rider swap.)

I'll admit we have used it to get in multiple rides on the same attraction - but people would do it to get on multiple attractions with only 1 FP. So the 1 parent gets at FP for Soarin' and the 2nd parent rides that via rider swap, and the 2nd parent has a FP for Test Track and the first parent rides that via Rider Swap - so they both get on 2 tier 1 attractions while only using up 1 FP each (we never did that - we always all had FP for the same attraction)

Personally, yes. Oh My Disney is essentially the Disney version of Buzzfeed and is very popular among my friends and people in my demographic (early to mid 20s).

To play devil's advocate....
As it stands now, 1 adult and one too short child can get FP's for Buzz while the rest of the fam gets FP's for Space and gets a RS pass for the 1 adult to return with the other kids to reride Space. So, in essence, the family got 1 extra FP out of the deal. The 1 adult got a Buzz FP and a Space FP.
If everyone has to have a FP, then the too short child has to essentially give up a FP in order for the children to reride the ride with the 1 adult that had to sit out with the too small child.
So either someone in the party gives one up, WDW let's the 1 adult have an extra FP, or Mom and Dad have to duke it out to see who gets to be the cool one and enjoy the ride with their kids. (extreme 1st world issue, extreme).
