The monorail...has stopped.
It's going...finally.
Little bit of Disney trivia for you.
This Kodak film and photo information booth.
is actually one of the original ticket booths from when park originally opened.
Before there were even, you know, E tickets and D tickets...
You used to have to buy a ticket to enter an individual attraction like you might find at a state fair or something like that.
And this...was one of those booths. Probably the only one left I'm sure.
Just imagine...fifty years ago...
Someone buying a ticket for Mr. Toads wild ride.
So construction on the remodeled theater area back here where the princess meet and greet used to be.
You can't really see much going on but there's definitely work being done now.
this is gonna be the new home of Mickey and the Magical Map stage show.
If I remember correctly, the show is something to the effect of Mickey uses a map...
he paints to transport him to a different times and places. Or maybe different stories in the Disney canon. I'm not sure.
So if you've never been back here before..
This area is
Right across from small world...
There's the Toontown train station...
You enter Toontown right down there.
and it's back here in a little corner.
A very large piece of real estate that's...I don't know...I don't know if I'd use it for a theater or not.
The great thing about this place is that joint right there.
The Troubador does baked potatoes sausage hot dog type in a pretzel bun thing...
With sour kraut and mustard...OH! OMG, that thing is so good. You gotta get one when they open that back up.
So one of the other observations that we made yesterday...
was regarding fast passes... 55 minute stand by, it is a 3:05 return time...
is that they are no enforcing the one hour window...
so you can't horde them anymore.
well I don't know, I haven't tried it yet, but they're trying not to allow that.
so we'll be paying attention to that in the coming weeks to see how well they're keeping that policy up.
Here's the sign they're putting up at the fast past machines.
I can confirm the cast members are checking it.
The first check right here they're checking it to see what time it's for, then they're checking it again...
when you get up here.
We did Space Mountain on fast passes yesterday and they definitely did check.
Now...if there is a benefit to be gained by clocking the fast passes...
I'm not sure what it is...
And I use this current situation as evidence. It's 11:20...
and there's an hour wait...
fast pass return time is 3 o'clock...
and...that's no different than it ever is.
So...haha...what's the benefit? What's the endgame?
what are they trying to do? Are they trying to reduce the wait time for stand by?
cuz that's not happening...
As a matter of fact, yesterday was the longest line I'd ever seen for stand by.
It was all the way down to where you first check in right here at the bottom.
the stand by line was almost all the way to the bottom.
Usually it's not even up to here.
So I'm not sure what's happening there. Or...
are they trying to allow for more fast passes?
And if that's the case then we wouldn't already be at 3 o'clock.
One of the problems that you see with fast passes
you know, you get here at noon and your fast pass is for 9 o'clock.
well, that's pretty sever but you get what I'm saying...
the fast pass isn't for anywhere near the time you're trying to go.
already, it's not even noon, and we're already 4 hours behind.
So...I don't see much benefit there either. So, who is this for?
I alluded to this earlier, but the wreck it ralph meet and greet is closed.
They'e got these walls up here and they're definitely putting star cade back to its previous condition.
actually, there is no starcade now if you look at it...
there is not a single video game in here.
even when they had it closed off when they were building the wreck it ralph meet.
there were video games back here. Now it's all merchandise.
and it's really kind of sad in here.
The wreck it Ralph merchandise is gone too.
So did that not happen? Did Wreck it Ralph not happen? Cuz that makes me sad...
I really thought that they were trying to hit the male demographic.
more than just the princess one.
It's 11:30 and we're makin our way out of Tomorrowland.
And as usual it's a total bottleneck here leaving Tomorrowland.
