OK if I can get through this response before you post another update I'll be caught up here!
Ha! You were afraid of me updating too quickly!! That is nice!
So essentially no "perk" for being an onsite guest.
This has changed now, but only for those who bought the ticket through the hotel or something like that. But now it is a perk that is really valuable!
I'll remember everything is slower there. To make rope drop you have to leave much earlier that usual.
Or make sure that you can take advantage of the hotel entry perk!
Note to self: watch the movie before I go.
I feel like I should have watched Tron. But by now you might be more likely to ride the Tron coaster at WDW before Shanghai. I think it is opening next year?
That's the best description of the ride that I've heard, but I'm sorry to hear it is short. That may have been the first time I've heard that.
I am surprised that others haven't commented on how short it is. Compared to other coasters it feels very short too me.
Nope missed that one. I think I was too cool back then.
I had never heard of Tron before I heard Disney people talk about being excited about the relaunch a few years ago.
I do! That's also the first time anyone has posted it in a TR I've read.
I am happy to have provided the exclusive Club 33 picture in Shanghai!
Well I'm glad to hear it was a good lunch. I'm often skeptical about grab and go type places.
We had looked at it the other day, so knew that there was stuff that looked good.
That sounds awful. We were doing some work with paving stones yesterday, a lot of lifting, bending, and it was humid cause a tropical storm was in the area. I had sweat dripping off my forehead and I didn't like it one bit!
I hope the sweaty paving stone work is only a distant memory now and that weather has become far more pleasant by now!
Interesting, I would not have noticed that.
Since Michael had told me about the copy cat approach at SDL, it was actually quite easy to see while there.
And neither have I. Ever.
Smart person not going on the canoes! I approve!
I was wondering if this was similar to the Challenge Trail in DCA.
I think the trail at DCA is more of a walk through attraction, this was more like a zip line without the zipping, just walking along. Kind of like the bridge people go over at the Wild Africa Trek at AK.
Yeah, really? I had planned to be in WDW over Labor Day weekend, but if you were reading my TR you would know that that plan was vetoed when it was discovered that John Williams was at the Hollywood Bowl that weekend and it was required that Fran and I attend. I do have to say that the weather at the Hollywood Bowl was much preferred to that at WDW that weekend!
Sounds like Fran was very smart there!
I was lucky enough to see the Shanghai ending at an event an Imagineering so I've actually seen all three endings without having traveled to Shanghai!
Soon there will be a fourth: Tokyo.
I've heard that too. I saw a map where friends walked back and forth and back and forth transversing far more than than they needed to but didn't realize how the park was laid out.
It took me some time to realize how the layout worked - and once you have worked it out, it's still a pain because nothing is close
I didn't realize that you had so little time at SDL! You definitely need to go back if this is it!
It really was just a stop over on our way to the main event: Japan!
