Tron isn't going to ruin Disney World trips. Disney is doing a great job of that, ALL on its own.
I hope Tron just sucks the crowds away from every other attraction in Magic Kingdom. 👍
It won't because it will be a virtual queue
Dont use wifi.. to get virtual queue
Naw the ap opening was over my trip and it was a huge mess of a crowd we just park hopped. Really ruined the day.
And expect to wait much longer for Space Mtn. 🥲
@@vincelopiccolo I know. Just thought about that. 2 popular attractions right next to each other. Could turn out to be a logistical nightmare in that area. 😬
When I go on vacation I shouldn’t need a strategy , its supposed to be FUN , not excessive planning on my phone for a 50 second ride
I agree! I just made a comment!!!! I am not going back to Disney. They have killed the Magic because you have to be on the damn phone all damn day!!!!
I was just there and I completely agree! In Magic Kingdom, they are super serious about crowd control, closing off entrances of the parks, there is absolutely no alcohol around UNLESS you make a reservation in advanced at one of their restaurants and sit down and have your drink, you have to pay an extra 25 dollars to even reserve for lighting lines so expect to pay extra costs, it’s way too crowded, Disney employees have tried to push me on expensive products excessively, there are WAY MORE PEOPLE and overall the vibe from Disney was quite uncomfortable. There’s less freedom and less freedom with your time. There are no smoking areas as well! Wow! Disney is a completely different place now since I’ve been. It was actually kind of stressful and I feel like I was able to accomplish a lot less with my time. I feel like there isn’t really as any “magic” in Disney anymore. When I was a kid it was amazing! But as an adult I just feel like Disney has gotten greedier and honestly, less enjoyable, but that’s the reality of Disney when you’re an adult I suppose.
I think that the other parks like Epcot are great though! :)
However, the employees don’t understand what a government issued military ID is there, so please don’t even try to use it despite the signs, just bring your state ID for less problems and confusion.
I agree, but I don’t think it’s necessarily Disney’s fault. The popularity of the parks is huge. They need better ideas but I bet corralling this many people every day is hard.
@@meganruchwatercolors7186 just left. It’s so annoying
To be fair, while there is plenty to blame disney for, crowd size (other then making you have a reservation and locking you in before you can park hop at 1) is consumer demand and mostly out of disney control. They have raised prices to discourage visits (and pad their pockets) they have tried to add rules and limits to virtual queues.
Disneyworld from its inception was designed to pack as many people as they could in there. It could be argued that the ticket value now is a better value then when the park opened as there are far more rides and attractions in magic kingdom then when it opened and there are 3 other parks. During our trip last year I compared wait times in magic kingdom vs Disneyland thruout the day. One major surprise was that some rides are more popular in Florida then California and vice versa and the other was I never seen any ride wait time ever remotely reach the same length as disneyworld wait times. The longest wait time I saw at Disneyland was 90 minutes where many rides at Disney world were 2 hours plus.
All this shows that disneyworld is popular, consistently crowded, and would benefit from more attractions per guest ratio in all their parks at disneyworld, and it’s possible that the resort would actually benefit from a 5th gate. Or the other option would be a 3rd resort in North America. Actually a 3rd resort kinda makes more sense for several reasons, one major one being marvel content restrictions on disneyworld due to the contract marvel made with universal pre Disney ownership.
Honestly I don’t see any relief in the near future. Consumer demand doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon, due to financial struggles I don’t see Disney spending a ton of cash on anything after current renovations and additions are completed. It’s likely crowd levels, reservations, and high wait times will be the new norms, at least for the next few years.
I also doubt a 3rd North American resort or 5th gate will happen in my lifetime if ever. And unless and until Disney and Florida state government can find some level of understanding I see the state restricting a lot of new expansion to existing parks.
So what’s it all mean? We all are speculating at best. However, having been to Disneyland many times per pandemic and only once to Disney world post pandemic I can say my largest complaint was crowd levels. Second most irritating thing was requirement to make table service reservations so far in advance, and even then the reservations went quickly. And third biggest complaint was rude guests. While I met and talked to hundreds of amazing people from everywhere the rude entitled guests were most memorable and in some cases ruined the day. And I hate to say this but most of the rudest guests were Florida residents. In one case the father in one group informed us that we were ruining their fun, that we should slow them ahead of us because we weren’t from Florida and were less entitled to enjoy the ride then they were. Then he promptly knocked my sons phone out of his hand and stepped on it. Yes I complained, I’m not sure but I believe the party was ejected from the park, but it still ruined the day. And while that was the worst thing that happened to us stories similar were relayed to us. One poor disabled woman had a guest repeatedly ram their stroller into her leg to get her to move because they didn’t want to drive the stroller around her. I had the privilege of being detained by park security and asked to make a statement to park security.
So I’m not real keen on returning for a little while. My hope is that maybe crowd levels will recede a bit and I can determine a “slower” time to go the next time I visit. I know February supposedly is slower, as I know a family that visits 2 times a year once in February and another randomly thru the year. They went this year and they said it was as busy as it normally would be around Christmas! Every day. So yeah don’t know but trim will likely be at least 5 or 6 before I ever ride it.
Here in Shanghai, the seat restraints are much less intense (without sacrificing safety) and there’s no lockers at all. Instead, the cast member has a trolley that you place your stuff into right before you get onto the ride. That cast member and trolley are then waiting for you at the end and you can quickly grab your stuff and leave. The lines are also short because, for some reason, the local market here doesn’t love fast rides, so the line is always under half an hour.
People will steal your stuff in America
@@Elgallo1107 how? They are all the way in China
I was lucky to go to Shanghai and have no lineups. I went on this until I got bored of it while I was there but, Disney in Shanghai doesn’t have a lot to do. The pirates of the Caribbean is wayyyy better than both Disney in the states but other than that the Shanghai park is boring with no thrill rides
There are lockers by the entrance in the Shanghai one
AJ - can you guys start using timeline chapters? Would be really useful when going back and looking for specific tips in your videos!
Yeah she is not gonna reply, she never does, but you have a good idea
Some of their videos do have timeline chapters.
@@tonysimon8060 Its not AJ's personal account. DFB is a business so its not AJ's responsibility to reply :)
this video does have timeline chapters, so maybe the DFB team saw this!
I will say, Disney World is getting stressful. Went with just me and my wife and while genie plus and all that worked great for us, I hated the fact that I literally had to bring a power bank in my bag so I could keep my phone charged because of how often I had to be on it to get everything. And it's either do that or wait absurd amounts of time. At the very least, I just wish I could reserve rides ahead of time and not the day of.
Well, if you had a Magic Band + and wanted to "experience" the Bounty Hunter game at Hollywood Studios you would need to bring TWO power banks (one for the phone and one for the Magic Band +).
@@GLJosh Mercy, I didn't even know about magic band +, who the heck wants another thing to recharge?? I'll skip the bounty hunter game and just keep using my apple watch lol
Your phone sucks. We were using our phones from rope drop to around midnight for 5 days straight without issues. We had no spare battery banks and didn't bring a charger to the parks. We buy phones with 5000mah batteries though.
@@snwbm Really cool comment man, such a cool flex on your battery size. Super jealous of you and your large battery squad.
Sounds like your phone has a bad battery. I went to Disney for a whole day as well as universal studios for 4 days in a row, and never worried about needing to recharge my phone…
The complexity and money grab of this is insane. $120 for a park ticket that then you can't even ride anything without staying on property.
Look at the week before it’s $165 per ticket for a park ticket
@@porchtalk1054 exactly 165 man who had them for 120
Thats an lie 120 no way
Send me the link
And the ride lasts one minute. I must really be missing something.
As a former Tomorrowland cast member, I’m happy I left before the crowds start for this ride 😭😭
Same
Tell me all your Disney secrets
@@tavern2468 where do I begin💀I need a 24 ep series to tell all the tea ☕️ but I can spill one. Whenever I started my shift it was usually around the same time the princesses would get ready. It was pretty cool seeing them transform into the characters but they’re not like them at all. Except Tiana and Merida they were always nice. I would try to smile and make small talk with Rapunzel and Cinderella but they completely shoved me off😭😭. Another one is, Mickey is usually a women! Her locker was next to mine and she was amazing too💕
@@mickeym98 wow that’s cool!
12:47 Found Quincy and the Bradshaws! All Ears photo bomb!
Great catch😍
6:01 whoever edited that little bike on the glow cube with “AJ riding tron” is hilarious 😂😂 made my day haha
I’m just happy to see TRON as a franchise is getting some love again for the first time in a long time.
I’m impressed by all the 6 year olds with the foresight into their vacations who are watching this channel lol
I was kinda upset that I scheduled my disney trip this year literally just before tron opens, but now I guess it’s not that bad😂
Not at all. Tiana’s place when it opens could be a really nice restaurant
It gives you a reason to go back soon! We just got back a couple of weeks ago. We finally got to ride Guardians and it was totally awesome! I was disappointed to miss Tron and Splash, but I’ll be excited to see a couple new things next time.
All capacity increases at the biggest park in the world are a good thing.
There should be a new land every decade, a new E-ticket (including end of night fireworks and parades) every 2 years and a non-E every year.
This could end up being a great thing. I did this with the 50th. Scheduled my trip for the September before and it was EMPTY. So you may get lucky and have a near-empty park for everyone holding out their dates for Tron
My trip is in May and I'm honestly bummed. I have way more interest riding Cosmic Rewind than Tron and now I may have to stay in a standby line for it b/c I'm not staying on resort.
I wish Disney would make another theme park somewhere else beside in California and Florida like the way Universal is going to do in Fresco, Texas. A thrill coaster ride.
It’s not a “Theme” park universal is building in Texas. It’s something else. It’s right in tornado alley too.
Good thing they have the rights to Twister then 😂
If you would’ve told 1982 to me that in 40 years, there will be a Tron roller coaster at Disney World. I still would’ve asked why who wants that
Seriously - some of us remember the Tron section on the Disneyland People Mover back in the day.
Bite your tongue
Me. It’s so great.
I want it. Can't wait to ride it!!
You must be fun at parties.
If someone wasn’t born yet in 2017, they are under 6 years old and hopefully not on the internet.
And I'm sure that world weary 6 year old isn't looking for tips and tricks on how to navigate a theme park to try out a new roller coaster ride designed for nostalgic adults. 😆
@@brookeg5979 I WAS that world weary 6 year old and 100% planned my own Disney trip then made a presentation to my mom. 😅 (it worked)
It is a family show. 🤷♂️😜
When I was 6 we had WDW Inside Out, today’s 6 year olds have DFB!
@@Delaney-and-the-StarlightThat’s very cool
12:48 the AllEars crew and the Broadway Bradshaws!
Appreciate DFB's explanations, but visiting Disney parks seems to be getting less and less fun and more and more of a pricey hassle. Enjoyed my 2017 WDW visit, except for having to make dining reservations months in advance. Now, reservations seem to be needed for everything and for outrageous additional fees, to boot. Do guests need to make advance reservations to use a toilet? LOL.
Oh lord, don’t give them any ideas! 😂
@@jessbess394 😁
Make some more money! Don't be a BABA BOOEY!!
They'll probably add that and change $20 per bathroom visit too.
I was just at Hollywood studios on Feb. 11, and as long as you're organized for lightning lanes, it's not that bad and you rarely need a reservation. Besides lightning lanes, we didn't make a single reservation. So, it's not nearly as bad as you're picturing!
Just came back from Disney. It was a nice experience for the family but I would definitely recommend spacing each park every other day or so because a day at the park wears you out. Also definitely recommend purchasing the lighting lane, and also paying for the individual LL rides. It’s pricey but I couldn’t imagine waiting in the lines we avoided.
Just goes to show that Disney are all about just sucking every cent they can get out of park visitors as they only way to enjoy parks is to pay exorbitant prices for lightning Lane etc.
There’s one born every minute, your being fleeced for something that was totally free before 2020.
I do Disney hard so I go open to close every day I’m there. Usually need another vacation after 5 days😅. Can’t make it to a week doing that unless I spend a day at typhoon lagoon to unwind😊
Problem with the ll thing is u can only get 2 per day for 150 for the ll and 50 for genie per person a 5 person family thats 1000 more per day and while i was there some of the ll ppl were waiting hours as well disney sucks so bad now
I use to absolutely love disney i was so excited to go back
I went 3 times as a kid brought my daughter when she was 8 about 12 years ago all amazing experiences
This one was garbage
Couldn’t move without tripping over people 6hr wait on some rides most were min 120 min wait
For an 18k trip it was completely bs and i feel like with the price of it i shouldnt have to spend 1000 more a day to utilize the parks
When i brought my daughter ll lanes were free u picked a time came back
When i was a kid wait times didnt exceed 30 min
We unfortunately were in magic kingdom hours before dark the middle was so full u couldnt get through hours before fireworks
We unfortunately stayed and got directed outside the park to leave bc main st was so jammed packed you couldnt get through
One in our party was up front i texted them lets to took them 45 min to make it 100ft to us
Disney sucks
Dont go
Dont waste your money
Universal was 100x better on Thursday
Friday got bad but still manageable
When i took my daughter a trip for 5 with hotel plane tickets meal plan which they no longer offer more greed
Was 3k
Now u cant go for less than 20k
I have tickets from 1987 price was 15 dollars
I agree with you. You shouldn’t have to spend extra on top of the already high cost of taking a vacation to Disney. It was a good first time experience for us but I wouldn’t do it again.
My first trip to WDW was in 1982, and happened to be the week TRON was released. I didn't get to see it there but it became my favorite Disney movie. I loved Legacy and the updated graphics. I have been looking forward to this ride since Shanghai opened it.
I am so excited for this ride! I will be there opening week and am keeping my fingers crossed for the virtual queue 🤞
Was fortunate to be in Florida during the March soft launch. Accessing the virtual at 7am queue was easy for both Tron and Guardians. The virtual queue opened at around 6:59:30s. The Tron ride itself was great great albeit very short. Our experience was just after 9am.
Thank you DFB team for another great video! Love you guys and all that you do!
We just finished up our 2023 Disney Family Vacation. My husband told me on a couple of occasions that I should reach out and tell you guys of some changes we noticed from our last trip 😂
“Some of you weren’t even born in 2017:
Me, a 6 year old: 🥸
Quick Summery If you are too wide or too tall you have to wait for the back seat, then if you have any knee, hips or back problems don't ride it. The locker system is amazingly similar to Velocicoaster with a locator system to help you find it. You can bring your phone and glasses on the ride they have to be put in the glove compartment of the ride. And your magic band plus goes off at the lunch of the ride.
@@rond1475 that's great, just the ride isn't build to the average American i was told. I love the ride
@@dannyortiz0406 Here's hoping it won't set off any health crusaders who are apparently under the impression that certain people are living in a world of entitlement.
I have two blown knees and a bad back and was completely unphased by the seating.
When hagrid at islands of adventure first came out, the wait time was 14 hours long. Since the ride is new they do those virtual cues but once it’s been out for a while they take it out and they proceed with the line process as usual
Hagfish was worth the wait
We rode it for DVC preview and loved it. The seats were not uncomfortable. The lockers were easy to use and big enough for both our belongings. At night it’s such a thrill!
FWIW I was fortunate to have some spare time on a business trip to Shanghai several years ago and rode Tron there. It's a fantastic ride, it's a real shame it's taken THIS long to get to Magic Kingdom.
Oh, and Pirates at Shanghai Disney was out of this world, I had never actually been on the one at Magic Kingdom until a couple years later and was blown away how much more fun the one at Shanghai Disney was.
How amazing is the Davy Jones animatronic?! That blew me away. Oh! And when the ships “lifts up” from the bottom of the sea to the top. Super amazing
@@misici Yup, the canons 'firing' and creating huge splashes really made you feel you were in something real. Really well done.
Based on our visit last year to WDW and the issues with trying to get into virtual age for Guardians, we will not go back to a park if we have to deal w virtual ques again.
Great and informative video. All of your videos are. Thanks
im super happy to hear about the adaptive seats bc i cant sit in the bike-style seats and i really want a chance to ride this ride
We rode rise of the resistance and the virtual quest and we were the absolute first to ride it that day and no waiting. It was amazing not waisting time in line.
I’m leaving for Disney today thx for helping me prepare!
Rode it in Shanghai two years ago. Great ride and comfortable. If you're uncomfortable you're out of shape.
we were at EPCOT on 2-10..We were queue #30 at 7am and we were also allowed entrance in the 1pm queue!
Im going in October and I only get to go to Disney every 7 or more years. For me I think paying the Lightning Lane will be worth it for the experience.
Yes, it absolutely is! You will get to do a lot more with your time. 😊
Its a very cool movie from the 80s. I feel that Disney could have gone big on this and made it a longer ride like Guardians....then it would have been a satisfying sacrifice for queues and LL purchases.....I think this short ride will leave people feeling a bit sad,,,,that it just didn't give as much ...sort of like a bite of cotton candy...feels full and looks exciting then disappears all to quickly without a chance to really engage.....
longer rides are more effective.
For reals kinda like Flight Of Passage at Animal Kingdom
I’m with you on leaving some of the dated stuff. We’ve got to have something to show our kids what it was like for us! 😂 Plus, nostalgia.
I went on it for the Soft Opening a few days ago. It is everything you expected.
I have a trip planned for the end of April. Wish I paid more attention to what's happenings because had I known Tron was opening in April, I would have booked our trip for this month. I honestly can care less about Tron yet it's going to affect my whole vacation. Really hoping everyone else flocks to Tron so us who don't care can enjoy the rest of the park. lol
Thanks for the info! Extremely helpful. My family, all adults, are planning to visit Disney around Mother’s Day weekend. Does the parks see a lot of traffic during that time?
I'm pretty sure because it's a holiday weekend
I def will try it but prob the alternative seat bc I don't want to be hunched over
This ride is incredible, especially at night! Recommend buying the individual lightning lane at 7a and book a nighttime ride window, then hit the virtual queue at 1p.
Shanghai version does offer Single Ride Line. So it's possible for Orlando version. Avoid going in Summer and April is the beginning. Summer is hell in Orlando.
You mean Rockin’ Roller Coaster? That one is pretty short, but it sure is fun!
I grew up in S Florida in the 80s and 90s, going to Disney regularly-it’s a really big part of my childhood, and I’m sooo ready to ditch the retro future stuff in Tomorrowland. I can imagine how odd it seems to kids, and I think the IP they’ve added is a stretch at best and just makes the rest of it look even more dated.
Hey, I did the cast preview of this a few days ago!!! PLUS SIZE RIDERS, OR ANYONE WITH THICK CALVES, LISTEN UP!!!
When you sit in the ride, make sure your feet/shins are shifted *down* as much as they can be, because when you pull the handlebars up to you, that metal bar locks behind your knee (or, it's SUPPOSED to). At the 2:20 time stamp in the video, you can see what I'm talking about.
There are "test seats" outside in the queue-- USE THEM. You'll get an idea of how your legs need to be to avoid issues. If you get to the ride and something is uncomfortable, flag down a cast member before you take off, then can unlatch your ride restraints easily for you to readjust.
I have thick calves and my right leg has issues with extending fully, so my right calf was "pinched" between the shin guard and that metal rod, RIGHT where you get Charlie horse cramps. The ride isn't very long, and once we hit those ~60mph speeds, I didn't notice it as much... But I am still bruised by it, and it was very uncomfortable, quite a bit painful during my ride.
Don't be like me lol, learn from my mistakes. ♡
As a Disney fan, I have no qualms about Tron Lightcycle Run being built in WDW. My only issue though is that it was built in the wrong park as Tron Lightcycle Run should have been built and placed in Epcot (because there's a lot of history and cross promotion of Epcot connecting with the original Tron, such the original going into the grid sequence being used in several Epcot/Future Wolrd dark rides and shows.
Guardians should have gone to the Magic Kingdom as Guardians of the Galaxy would have fit the 1990s theme of MK's tomorrowland, a city that never was (plus space bounty hunters!)
Exactly and Epcot is built around Future,Tech and Different Nation of The World .They should've put the guardians of the Galaxy cosmic rewind in tomorrow land since that movie is set in outer space and would fit better with the theme I don't know what Disney Imagineers were thinking adding cosmic rewind at Epcot if they put that attraction in the Tomorrowland area at Magic Kingdom park it would've made more sense those imagineers must've been snorting coke or something
@@anthonyhenderson3625
Only possible reasons for GotG at Epcot was for attendance, movie tie-ins and also as an IP weenie to attract guests over there.
Yet... They could've simply done some other stuff like the rumored Mary Poppins experience, except... Movie tie-ins! (See Countdown to Extinction's name changed to Dinosaur and retheming DCA's tower of terror into GotG Mission Breakout for marvel film tie-ins.)
It's weird that I was able to get a guardian vq spot easily last June when I went and a LL too no problem after I rode it first thing in the morning
This just making riding rides so much fun
I hade made reservations for all four parks near the end of April and I didn’t think all this was gonna happen hopefully me and my girlfriend still have a magical time and it isn’t to crowd crazy
I got to ride this on a soft opening for resort guests and I was very surprised with how short the ride actually was.
No waiting it out for me. I already have my hotel and park tickets booked in late April. Cannot wait!
rode this ride for the cast member preview, I thought the the setting was WAY more comfortable than what most people thought, it felt natural and very smooth. It’s not jerky nor did it give me pain after riding. Rode it twice from back to front, the front is by far the best seat available (obviously). You don’t need to know tron to understand to ride; it’s very straightforward. The ride is quick, as mentioned above, but will most definitely be a virtual queue, as the actual queue is not big enough to hold the amount of people wanting to. for the locker, make sure not to have ANYTHING sticking out or caught in the door of the locker unless you want to have a cast member help you unlock the other side of the locker. The ride is great, thrilling, however not the scariest nor the fastest, it’s unique, smooth and different. Happy riding!
Would you say that Guardians is more intense than Tron? Guardian is the most intense ride I’ve been on, so I’m attempting to determine if I want to ride.
@@krluna13 Tron definitely does not spin as much as guardians but it definitely is atleast a little more intense. Still fabulous and smooth!
Guys as someone who just got back from Disney this week! TRON was a great ride and will not ruin your trip. It’s a virtual cue you join. The app tells you when the cue opens and then you can just check when it gets close. You can’t enter until your number is called and you have an hour after your numbers been called to get on. It’s not this dramatic.
The way you have to think about it is this… Disney is a vacation that is fun and you make good memories and have good experiences. Disney is not a vacation you go to relax. You kinda have to decide whether you want a stressful vacation that is gonna be fun or have a relaxing vacation. It’s sad
What a team thanks
They should make people wear neon Tron suits and gloves with steel linings, and have neon frisbees that have magnetic stips on the edges.
I loved the ride and seats. My stomach drops so it really helped but yea too short
I'm surprised they didn't make the track glow behind the bikes.
I got to ride Tron at night and it was pretty cool! However it feels so short I don't really think it will be worth the wait. But I would hang out in the Tron area at night.
60 seconds from launch to end... that's insanely short
I'm confused why they didn't make it a dark ride? Seems so much cooler-looking at night.
I was just a Disney world in early March. I agree. From a distance and looking at the outdoor section of the ride during the day, it looks like a generic coaster under a big white gazeebo.
You’re not outside very long. Majority of it is inside.
I'm doing the 10k in April spring time surprise so I'll be there a week and a half after it opens and yes plan on riding it 🤞, wish me luck 😅 ❤️
10K? Isn't that the cost of a Disney family vacation?
We’re going for the week it opens 😵💫
Visited Disney last week with the family. It was nothing short of constantly being on our phones and looking at the map.. All to make sure we got into the lightning lane via magic genie. Without it, you'll never do a park in a day (magic kingdom will take 1.5). I missed morning virtual que for Tron but signed up at 1pm. My number was called at 9pm.
Is the vehicle concern mainly height / leg length issues? Not waist line size issues?
The time of day will affect your experience?! In particular, right after lunch?
It absolutely will not ruin my trip because I’m doing Universal this year. Maybe catch it next year
This looks like an amazing ride
Aj and her team are only doing ther job so spot on to Aj and her team keep up all the very good work
Going in Sept so hopefully by then they will have a better system for Tron
Could you do an especific video about MAY at Disney??
You can't just get in line! You need to book your spot 69 hours in advance and only at 6:00 AM! Then, you'll wait for them to call your boarding group! Sounds great.
I guess I picked a good time going in August far as this video goes
Get your virtual Q in the morning it’s easier, if you miss your window still go they will let you on any time throughout the day your window is a suggestion , nobody will tell you this but that’s one of the staff secrets I learned
I'm so glad I got to ride Tron early
Instead of the virtual queue would I be able to buy a lightning lane?
Should this new ride make the other rides at magic kingdom have less wait time? Or the other parks in general have less wait time?
It all depends on the ride itself
I have the worst luck ever 😂 I scheduled my Disney trip over a year ago… we are set for magic kingdom on April 4th 🤦🏼♀️ it’s going to be way too busy 😭
I did the same thing :( Not even super interested in tron. Was considering skipping MK but can't imagin missing Pirates and Haunted Mansion
Good news is that most people will be in Tomorrowland. Keep an eye out for your fav diz UA-camrs, they are ALL going to be in MK on 4/4
There have been a few papers about roller coasters and they state, that your more scared getting locked into the seat on a roller coaster than you are during the entire ride. If that's true, they should just offer a seated ride that makes scary noises as you are being locked in, then just releases you and you go on with your day. So much cheaper to construct, plus lots more guests per hour could "ride" it. LOL
Disney needs to hire this man/woman.
I've read so many negative reviews. Mostly the short ride time (50 - 60 seconds) and uncomfortable seats.
Very true. A few cast members I know told me the ride experience is as bad as the employment experience.
Kinda sad it’s a bit short, but it looks like fun!
I might as well just go to my local theme park, saves me a whole lot of bucks (3 to 4 times chaper than disney) and whole lot of annoying stuff like virtual queueing , genie plus and all. Its just so complicated. just me stand in line lol
Having young kids its still a few years before I will ride Tron...but the more rides the better less wait hopefully on the rides we will be going on.
You would think…but nah… it never works out that way.
Tron looks gorgeous. It's just a pity Disney is so horrible expensive now and everything has to be booked in advance, Lightning Lanes to be paid for etc. Going East to mainland Europe parks is the far better and more affordable option for us. At least you're not robbed blind there.
And u paying almost $200 just to not ride every attraction at least at Six Flags u can experience most of what you wanna do
I was triggered at the thought of losing carousel of progress.
They were going to Add a prison cell for Trump and Meatball Ron to the Carousel of Progress but the fans wanted a coaster.
It took 25 mins to explain how to get on a 1 minute ride. Disney needs to understand what it is doing to the average park goer.
how do you find your locker on rides like that?
They each have a number. If you forget that number there's a screen off to the side you can scan that will tell you where your stuff is or a Cast Member can help you out
I rode Tron at Magic Kingdom on November 2, 2023. It's a great ride, but you should be aware that access to it is severely limited. There was no "standby lane" to get on the ride, and all the available free "Lightning Lane" slots filled within minutes of them opening at 7am and 1pm on the Disney app. I wound up buying a pass to get on the ride for an extra $20. My alternative was to not get on the ride at all, so I paid the extra money on top of my park ticket. I'm not thrilled about that, but it is a unique ride experience.
it does suck having to pay a extra $20 to guarantee a ride on it, i did the same thing 2 weeks ago since i didn't want to miss out and my wife did a virtue que for us as well, luckily we were able to get a virtual que pass at 7pm so we got to ride it twice! such a blast
I went on it it made the trip 3x better
Is it really that hard to have virtual queues available at different parks? It has always worked great for me. I don't love that you can't even park hop over at 2 to try for the 2nd virtual queue opening of the day... If you want to start out at a different park you will have to buy that ILL
How do you think this will work during Halloween party?
How did you do this!?!? Tron just opened last week!!! 🤷
Oh and who in the HELL can afford to stay at a Disney moderate or deluxe hotel any more?!? Animal kingdom lodge savanah view rooms are average $750 a night!!! That’s 6K for a week of hotel only!
We rented a two bedroom resort off Disney. Much cheaper. And has a full kitchen. We won't get early park admittance, but with the money we saved we will pay for Genie+
Virtual cues are garbage. I'll wait until it goes live.
I do feel, aesthetic-wise, TRON would have worked better in EPCOT and Guardian's in Tomorrowland...
True since the theme of Epcot is themed around tech and different countries
When EPCOT first opened it really picked up the vision-of-the-future baton from Tomorrowland. Unfortunately with its shift from education to IP it has fumbled and dropped it.
Do you think they will use virtual queue during MNSSHP?
We paid the $20 for the lighting lane and were SUPER disappointed. The ride did feel extremely short! In the moment it felt like 20 seconds. I agreee the ride was visually cool, but it was not thrilling (except for the launch) you do some curves but there were no major drops or flips....just angled speed. It felt like a more boring version of the guardians ride at epcot....I wanted SO desperately to love this ride but it didn't compare at all to space mountain in my opinion. My boyfriend was also mad because he found the ONE shirt in all of Disneyworld that he loved but was told at checkout it was for passholders only (no posted sign or sticker) it just had "pass holder" in the mixed print of the shirt (was all words on the shirt). All around we were just very disappointed....
Go back to the original aesthetic of Tomorrowland, with updated LED lighting. What's left of the Jules Verne steampunk overlay should be wiped away completely, and clean lines should return. Mid-century modern still looks 'futuristic' when dressed in new technology. But it should be sleek and clean.
I cannot stress enough to anyone that do NOT go to Disney unless you are going with children. Just go to universal better rides less stress less waiting. Sure you miss out on Star Wars and things but Jesus Christ the hassle and stress of Disney is insane. You have to wake up at 7 am to book your favourite ride in which you may or may not get an early booking. Have to wait every 2 hours to book a new ride you are constantly on your phone stressing about wait times fast pass bookings and organising things to minimise walking (which is impossible) and waiting till 1 exactly within seconds to enter the virtual que for guardians and tron. You get in the lightning lane and immediately are mixed with the regular line almost feeling like a scam.
True and at Universal Studios you'll be able to do almost everything you wanna do also SeaWorld too
