I am sad that Primeval Whirl is in a state of uncertainty I like that ride

I do too, but it is a back breaker. I cant ride it any longer.

This one’s going to get me burnt at the stake!

I was disappointed with Smuggler’s Run I think Star Tours is just as good

i don’t know if this is “unpopular” but i wish disney would stop with the computer animated movies and leave that to pixar. the programs they use to animate the movies are constantly evolving and progressing, which yeah is a good thing, but then when you watch a movie from a couple years ago it looks kinda bad. i noticed this watching tangled the other night, and not that tangled looked bad, but after seeing such detailed visuals in toy story 4 and frozen 2 it definitely took away from tangled a little bit. i don’t know if i’m making sense but yeah lol

I’m not a fan of Test Track 2.0, I think it’s kinda meh. Sure I’ll ride it, but the last version was a must-do for me, this one I can take it or leave it.

Same here. The pre and post show shows are cool but the attraction itself is just meh.

Here is a hot-take…

I am not in a rush to get back to Disney after the gates re-open…

This one makes me very sad, as the ‘magical years’ of my kids are quickly escaping, and can never be recovered. But, there are too many rumors regarding how Disney will operate once re-opened, and honestly none are magical. I really need to see how everything shakes down before investing the time and money into a WDW vacation.
I can’t digest the idea that my children won’t be able to hug their favorite character. I’m nauseated at the notion that every ride, attraction, activity, movement we make will require a Fastpass. I’m deflated at the notion of having to search out markers for where to walk, where to stand, instead of searching out Hidden Mickeys. And nothing says magical family photo like sunglasses and facemasks completely obstructing all facial expression…

And before the criticism comes down, I get why they would be doing what potentially could happen. Anyone here who has interacted with me to any measurable degree knows what my professions are, and know I’m neck deep in the situation. But, doesn’t mean I have to like it. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with it…

I want to just ride it out a bit. See how Disney plays the hand. Do they go over the top and use the situation as leverage to further control guest’s experiences? Does it become near impossible (by design, regardless of crowd levels) for a family to do everything they may want to, in a realistic 5-7 day vacation? What is the guest experience going to be like? What level of magic will remain?

Let the wrinkles iron-out a bit, and then I’ll re-evaluate… and hope that my kids don’t grow out of the magic in the meantime.

I don’t think it’s unpopular at all. If we didn’t have races planned, if we didn’t kind of have to go to this Wine and Dine because it is off the end of the month when my wife can’t take a vacation, we’d be taking a break too. I hate the idea of the possibility of only one or two parks being open, of very low capacity and maybe not even being able to get into a park, of having to take a Castle pic with a mask on, of not being able to meet characters, of it not being my escape from reality. My fear is similar to yours but more for me, not for growing out of the magic but because I don’t know how many years I have left. I don’t know how many years I and my wife will be in good enough physical shape to do the races, or God forbid even go to the parks. Tomorrow is promised to no one, and what I hate most of all is that all of this may be robbing me of my last visits to WDW, ever.

I hope and pray this is not the case… especially since we haven’t met up down there yet (totally selfish reason, here )!
