Braves Spring Training Games at Disney Begin Today

At first I thought this was some kind of Archery fun happening at Magic Kingdom with Merida.

If Disney would have had a chiropractor at the body Wars exit he would have made a killing.

plus Star Tours opened so close to when Body Wars opened and was superior and less jarring on the riders so it quickly became unpopular


Now, Cranium Command was great - and I would think it would be relatively simple to change that over to an Inside Out based attraciton

I doubt it though as there's been not even one peep of a rumor about this. Just weird they would fix the roof and then stop using g the. Building. If it's not used for food and wine then w will know something is up.

Fixing the roof, could just be active preventive maintenance, which we know they've not been diligent about in the past. Could have been at the point that if they didn't fix the roof, the building would have generated far more expensive damage.
I think the only thing it really tells us is that they care enough about the building to fix the roof, and that might mean they care to use it in the future. The space restaurant would not have to use the whole building, it would just have to be one feature in it if they wanted to go that route in opposition of the test track side. I'm sure the numbers are being crunched to see what makes the most sense.
We'll just have to trust the shovels.

Except for when we can't, right? Anyone have any more news on the MK Theater?

I don’t remember Body Wars being jarring. I remember it being “undulating”. There was a lot of swaying up and down and side to side which increased motion sickness.

maybe jarring is the wrong word ... let's just say there were less complaints about the motion and causing illness, etc. with Star Tours than Body Wars

Looks to me like the whole line was designed for children... anyone else??

Anybody have any idea why there is lots of smoke coming from the Disney Springs area? We are at Epcot. Trying to upload a pic.

ETA: the smoke dissipated pretty quickly so it must have been nothing major.

No festival center. They’ll have merch in two separate spots. Food booths as usual. No major seminars it seems.

I actually like some of the merchandise. Or it could be that I’m excited to be going to flower and garden for the first time.

Huh. So will they have some location in time for F&W, though, or we don’t know yet? That would be a major change if not!

We don’t know yet. They could use the Odyssey for some stuff if they want or the millennium building near Canada.

Very strange

oh my god, that's funny! But at least it's a fitting menu!
