It was just some leaked photos from the queue.

Here's the queue path to board the Falcon. Enter at top (Port Docking ring) follow the yellow arrow to "Holding area" - Main room with chess table. You'll be assigned your "job" and hang out. (for about 3 minutes) - then move on!

this seems to suggest a queue thru the falcon...I'm not so sure

Their diagram is off a bit.

You won’t go through the actual Falcon either. You will be able to view the Falcon from the queue. The queue presents a storyline in which you see the Falcon from windows and then move along and appear to board the Falcon down below but you never board the physical Falcon it just seems like you do. The Falcon outside is purely prop.

That’s a bummer

Looks like a bathroom pass for Flight of Avatar. Article speculates that it might be used for Star Wars GE long lines as well

 

[Mome Rath]

If this is accurate I can see it being a test run before SW:GE opens, specifically for the new rides on the only ride that really come close to having those long lines at all hours of the day.

I saw one of those in September. I didn't know it wasn't a thing I would have posted about it. We didn't really wait very long only about 30 min at rope drop but the family in front of us asked where the nearest bathroom was and the cm gave the mother one of these when she took her child to the bathroom.

Not sure this is new. I believe this has been around but maybe this is the first more permanent pass.

Pretty sure they have had something for like 1.5 years or so but like you saknow d maybe this is a more permanent thing.

They are definitely going to need something for the GE rides (unless they have themed ones 1/2 way through the queue or something

 

[Fantasia79]

Figured it wasn’t a brand new thing (because Facebook said it was new).

BUT, it’ll be very needed with the new attractions drawing comical lines. Saw FoP had another huge line this morning.

We saw Captain Marvel last night and I must say, we really enjoyed it. It seems everyone in the theater knew about the 2 scenes after the credits rolled, too....because everyone stayed in their comfy recliners until the screen went blank!

Well, I'm happy to see this....smart move to have it in place even if it was something that's been around for a while. This is my first exposure to it but I'll admit to only being in the standby line for FoP only once and it was at rope drop so the line wasn't over 2 hours.

New Crepe place coming to France Pavilion

I wonder if this will take the place of Monsieur Paul or in addition to? I think it would be awesome for France to have 3 ts restaurants!

This is a great start, however this doesn’t address how they would handle a single rider. That is definitely something they need to take into consideration.

Here is link to DIS article that says it will be in a new location near the new Rat attraction (so I guess around back of current pavilion in the new “square” area being built as entrance to ride)

So it seems there will be 3 TS restaurants in France then. I understood the location of the new TS being behind, where the Ratatouille ride will be...I love french food so the more the better, I say. Seems that France may become a very popular area once it's all done.

Yeah, my wife is very excited about this. She’s had food at all the current locations in the Pavilion (I haven’t had Miseur Paul) and loves them all. Also the quick service and the ice cream place is great too (ice cream martini for the win!)

Also the Japan Pavilion is getting a third TS location so guess at least for dining in EPCOT they are going with additions not replacements

From the link in the post: "scheduled to be built in an all-new location near the previously announced Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction".

And Monsieur Paul's is an excellent restaurant that I assume does quite well... including with multiple F&W events. Can't imagine why they would have replaced it.

Can't wait to see if it comes close to the amazing crêperies I grew up with in Montreal... ... (the poutines don't... sorry... )

It’s an addition in the expansion.

We're actually doing Tepan Edo in September...haven't done that one for about 23 years!

We really enjoyed the F&W lunch that took place at Monsieur Paul's last fall and we've had crepes on the Rue Cler in Paris......both savory and dessert types. I'd be happy with just a QS crepe! When did you say they will be ready for patrons?
