Guests Using Disability Access Service (DAS) Will Still Need Boarding Group to Ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT​

When Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opens to guests at EPCOT on May 27th, it will utilize a virtual queue system similar to what was required for a period at Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. As with those attractions, guests using the Disability Access Service, or DAS, will need a boarding group acquired from the virtual queue system to ride.
Guests with a DAS will have to first join the virtual queue and obtain a boarding group. Once their boarding group is called, they should head to the attraction and present their MagicBand or ticket media to enter using the Lightning Lane entrance. Guests will only be able to access this attraction by utilizing the virtual queue or by purchasing an Individual Lightning Lane. DAS return times will not be distributed like at other attractions.

Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek Botches Walt Disney World Tagline During Indiana University Commencement Speech​

Indiana University alumnus and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Chapek, spoke during the IU-Bloomington undergraduate commencement ceremony on May 7, 2022, and without surprise, we have another interesting quote from the controversial executive.

During his speech, Chapek mistakenly called Walt Disney World “The Happiest Place on Earth”. Of course those reading this site know that Disneyland Resort is “The Happiest Place on Earth”, while Walt Disney World is “The Most Magical Place on Earth”. This seems especially hard to forget given the ongoing “World’s Most Magical Celebration” which reflects the famous tagline, something you might expect the Disney CEO, especially one who led the Parks & Resorts division for years, to know.

I was hoping that they would drop this bad idea once things opened up again

I did too, but hopefully they won't install any of the ones that weren't done yet and just use the ones that they had already started.

I’m hoping that it’s just a meet in the middle point where they don’t have enough staff to regularly man character meets but we want people to $$$ for photo packages so we need to get rid of personal camera only

I know this isn’t great, but even national news does this.

thank you, i still had a blast! i'm feeling a lot better now a little mad at myself for going 2 years without catching covid and getting it in my favorite place, but it could have been a lot worse. plus out of a group of 7 only 3 of us got it.

For those considering getting this gorgeous mother's day cupcake that was in the disney food blog.

I went over to CBR to treat myself since I'm here alone on mothers day. I saw this is what they are selling. It was like the wish version.
