    Its not a big deal. Part of the plan is to open up areas to ease congestion. I fact, over by the first aid/baby care area, the railings that use to keep people out of the grass are gone and people can now sit on the grass and watch the fireworks. The only part of the moat that may be filled in will be by Crystal palace and the smoking area by the plaza. Just enough to add a walkway. This is a guesstemation of what may come. Not much of a change and all that grass will be available to sit on.

    I can't check because I don't have FP+ privlages but if you check the MDE for some time from now you should see it as an option.

    Yes it was. For those staying on site. They roped off the area everyday and it was usually full. I can find better places to see the parade personally. But it would be a good photo as the parade passes in front of the castle.

    The parades have been part of the FP+ selections since the beginning as well as Wishes. The parade FP+ viewing area is directly in front of the castle in the inner hub by the Partners statue. This is the same viewing area for all parades (FOF and MSEP).

    This is a response from someone who is involved with SWW. Interesting read and makes you realize some things. "As someone connected to the Star Wars Universe both inside and outside of Walt Disney World I have been asked to comment on the changes being made at Star Wars Weekends this year... Here is my take... Don't jump on the Hate Star Wars Weekends bandwagon yet! There's gonna be something pretty exciting in the evenings, and we'll find out more as we get closer... besides the fireworks are gonna be awesome! Why the changes you ask? Well now that Disney owns the Star Wars propert...y th

    Fire Station #3 is 3.7mi from the location of the fire. The DTD Fire Station, station #4, is 3.6mi from the location of the fire. The Fire Station across from Hollywood Studios, station #1, is 3.5mi from the location of the fire. Station #2 is 6.5mi from the location of the fire. So it seems the responders could have been from any of the stations, but more likely station 3. Station 3 has the responsibility of MK and surrounding hotels.

    Isn't there a fire house down from the grand?

    I cant reveal WHAT the test is, but it was testing. I know a few of the CMs who were part of the test. Besides, if they were backdooring friends onto a ride, they would not use a track able system like child swap or the like. They would just let them through. I have gotten onto attractions through connections before and they just let you walk through. If they used a child swap to get them on, then the CM at the kiosk would enter +1 into the computer system which in turn gets tracked by the system. If they get caught doing that, its a reprimand. Much better to just walk them through with no t

    Oh TCD, Always the conspiracy theorist. I can shed some light on this very easily. What you saw was a group of CMs testing the system. It's called NGE testing and those CMs were on the clock and being paid to ride the rides. Their job for the day was to ride all of the major attractions and test the my magic+ systems. The testing has been going on for a while now. The paper is used to ID the testers to the attractions cast. They had probably rode space 10 times before you saw the transaction.

    The FP machines are gone now and replaced with FP+ kiosks. This is becoming the norm for most FP locations.

    Couple of things: This is a school? Im not sure Id want them teaching my kids. quote: "Camping will take place in February, from Friday the 15th through Monday the 18th. There is no school on Monday the 18th." (that's cause there is no Monday the 18th) Looking at a calendar, their dates are a little off. Proof read much? Next: Take note of this "We will kick off the camping trip with a Friday evening poolside pizza party and wrap up Monday with an IHOP pancake breakfast." Wonder if they reserved the whole pool too? If not, avoid the area.

    Its a meeting Fiends go to to seek help..........usually held in a community center or old gym.

    ALLOT of CMs work for the other theme parks as well. They have 2 jobs and juggle the schedules to make it work. In MK DPI alone, we have 22 photographers that work at one of the other major theme parks. We have a dolphin trainer at sea world, a couple of folks who work at Harry Potter in Universal, one who is also a photographer at Discovery Cove, and a few who work at Busch Gardens. They all have their various reasons why they hold two jobs.

    I was training a group of CPs that day. When Im training, most of the time its during the day. When Im shooting or support, its always nights. You never know where Ill pop up. Text me next time youre around.

    I remember this day. You should have watched the rainy day cavalcade again. There were some stowaways on it. I was backstage when they were stepping off and at the last minute, Mary Poppins and the penguin jumped on the bus. You can kind of see the penguin in the first and second photo of the bus. All of the other characters are from the move it shake it, but Mary isn't. She just wanted a ride.

    It was stray embers from the fireworks. Its not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. It was a small fire easily extinguished by a firefighter and a fire extinguisher. The area was evacuated as per operating procedures, but the ride was reopened about 30 min later. There was no structure damage and the only thing that caught fire was some foliage/leaves on the roof. This happens at least once a week. This is the first fire in a guest viewable area though. Most of the time its the wooded areas behind the MK. Disney has procedures in place to deal with these incidences.

    Like I said, I'm not defending the photographer. You happen to know his name or what he looked like? I have an idea of who it could be. Just want to be sure.

    The game seems to be very popular now. But that may be because now you HAVE to play to get cards. I stopped getting them because of that. Just short of completing a second set. To much hassle now.

    Didn't see the extra point question. You want to know what the box is? its a speaker. They sometimes play music at that location. The boxes house speakers for that music. Its supposed to look like a bee hive.
  21. devores
    That's the Thoughtful spot. where you meet Pooh and Tigger.

    Everyone getting cards needs to start a game in order to get the cards.

    That clue gave it away. Its in the queue for Pirates.

    These are tough. Not worse than when TJ accidently took a picture of the ground and posted it here, but still. A light fixture? Ill take a guess anyway and say Wilderness Lodge lobby.

    SOTMK: You use your MB instead of the key cards now. But you have to have started the game (played at least one portal) to get more cards. If you just pick up cards and not play, you cannot get more cards.
