This actually seems to be more like Disneyland's MaxPass. You can book times day of on the app. Biggest difference is you don't have to be inside the park right now.Sounds much like the original FP paper system.

Universal has been testing a virtual queue at Despicable Me Minion Mayhem. This is a concept they plan on using at the new Volcano Bay waterpark.

Yeah their express pass system would become obsolete.OK - here's the question...if they were to go to a system like this - wouldn't this basically eliminate the need to pay for the Front of The Line perk (or stay on site to get it?) If you can virtually queue the rides and not wait in line, why would FotL be necessary? (understand right now they are only talking about one ride...but still.
Except that the Fotl pass would still allow you to immediately enter the line, as opposed to having to schedule for later. No doubt, though, it would greatly reduce its appeal/value.OK - here's the question...if they were to go to a system like this - wouldn't this basically eliminate the need to pay for the Front of The Line perk (or stay on site to get it?)

I at least would have arranged a game of pooh sticks.

All you gotta do is copy and paste. I'm on an iPad as we speak. Highlight the link copy and then paste it here.

This is news? All of these Easter eggs have been known for years. I'm surprised this is on a national news site as news. I saw the videos here released earlier this week. I just thought Disney put together a video to show all of the Easter eggs not to confirm the movies are connected.

Apparently today was National Winnie the Pooh day.

Plus (and this is a bit of an assumption on my part) the return time system could run out of open spots (like back in the day when Toy Story Midway Mania would run out of paper fastpasses for the day) wherese the paid FotL would always allow you to enter .... so I think it actually adds to the value of the FotL on days with high crowds
Yep.so basically, same day fastpass, but no standby line, right?
Yeah weird why they are promoting it now.I've seen it promoted in a few places actually ... I think it is something just more official or something got out to the major news source
The facts are definitely not new - just something that got out in this promoted format (not sure why now)
Yep.plus it doesn't cost $10/person/day
Kind of surprised that there's not a Winnie the Pooh remake in the works. I would be more excited for that than Dumbo.
OK - that's a good point I missed....yes the FOTL wouldn't "run out", and would be particularly valuable on high crowd days, but from my point of view, the only thing that justifies the price of the high-end hotels at Universal is the FOTL and to a lesser degree the early park entry. A system that would allow you to not stand in hour long lines for free would definitely make me think twice about choosing a $400-500 a night hotel.
