Guys! Ive been invited to meet an Imagineer on our cruise! I'm so excited! He helped design The Jungle Cruise & Great Movie Ride. I've always like to paint little postcards as a thank you for cm's but its intimidating thinking of giving him one.Many of yo

You have seen my paintings. Should I give him one?

8:49pm on 8/21/19 by shyviolet1983

That's so cool! I haven't seen your art but definitely make him something featuring his work, I'm sure he'll appreciate it!

8:52pm on 8/21/19 by thinkschools

Wow, shyviolet.... that's Awesome!! Enjoy.

9:07pm on 8/21/19 by 42 Wallaby Way

Absolutely! No reason not to.....

9:07pm on 8/21/19 by Buccofan1

It's just super intimidating. I'd feel more confident if I could make him dessert lol

9:09pm on 8/21/19 by shyviolet1983

Here's some postcards i painted in the past https://www.instagram.com/p/BBX7LzGpwqu/?igshid=1imud6q9oqh55

9:11pm on 8/21/19 by shyviolet1983

Those are great. I am sure he would be thrilled.

9:26pm on 8/21/19 by zstrassburger

Those are amazing, don't be intimidated!

9:30pm on 8/21/19 by purplravioli

So I love the post card and I think he would really like it and the thought that went with it. However, if you'd be more confident with giving a desert why not do that? Couldn't you make one and take it??

9:37pm on 8/21/19 by WDWfanatic

I think they are wonderful. You should give him one!

9:46pm on 8/21/19 by matterhorn55

Most people don't like eating homemade food from people they don't know, even if you are a chef lol. Plus idk if he has allergies or anything & we will be going to wdw first. The dessert would be like a week old before we meet him lol

9:57pm on 8/21/19 by shyviolet1983

I think the postcard idea is great. Beautiful work!

10:00pm on 8/21/19 by Mickey143

These are amazing. Anyone would be honored to receive one.

10:38pm on 8/21/19 by TrixieDust24

Your cards are beautiful! I think you should share them with everyone! :)

10:44pm on 8/21/19 by desertmermaid

Those are wonderful!! I love the dumbo. So cute!!! I would not be intimidated if I were you. You are a gifted artist.

10:50pm on 8/21/19 by RRCfanatic

@shy...your work is totally amazing! You should be so proud to share it with an imagineer and I think he would really appreciate it. DO IT!

Someone posted about being able to search for the Star Wars dessert party. Not sure if anyone has shared that it's available to book now. Just got it for 9/18.

Is this for the Star Wars FW?

At Orlando airport and doing droid and light saber recon. Lots of droids seen so far and one ligjtsaber. Dude has a droid and saber has his two carryon items. He sacrificed brings reading material or extra clothes to make sure he carried on both :)

5:49pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

Haven't seen any go through TSA yet.

5:49pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

Lines are super long here...hope they get through. Would hate to double back to check it and have to re enter line.

5:50pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

Lightsaber / droid man is in line. I have pre check, so I will watch from afar and let you guys know.

5:51pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

One family going through with a bunch of lightsabers and well over their carryon limit.

5:58pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

So I guess it's okay...I am still glad I shipped mine. I would have been whacking people like crazy. I'm short and the saber is almost as tall as I am.

5:58pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

So I know I am supposed to be reporting on sabers and droids, but please buy precheck people. These lines are long and barely moving. No one in precheck line. Well worth the $85 / 5 years. If you take 1 trip a year, easily worth it.

6:03pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

Just interviewed a family with droids. No issues with security at all.

6:51pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

Haven't seen any lightsabers past security yet.

6:52pm on 8/19/19 by Meech

Nice on the scene reporting!

7:08pm on 8/19/19 by Moana618

This is totally cracking me up! I picture you lurking around corners and behind potted palm trees. Well done! Great reporting!

7:09pm on 8/19/19 by Jennyhirsch

Well done!

7:22pm on 8/19/19 by Armadillo_Alert

I have Precheck as well but once again did not get designated precheck for our flight on Saturday. Went through regular line. They were running it like precheck. No shoes off. No electronics out of bags.

7:28pm on 8/19/19 by jswilli12

@Meech you've won liner of the day for me! Nice recon work!

7:30pm on 8/19/19 by FishAreFriends

Droid man ;)

7:30pm on 8/19/19 by burfe1501

We took our light saber as a carry on when we flew home from California back in June. Had no issues with security. We did have to put it in the overhead bin through. That was flying Southwest out of LAX.

7:48pm on 8/19/19 by bburks

We brought home 2 droids Saturday afternoon as carryons, no problems, TSA agent was curious though, asked what it did? Could it vacuum the house like a Rumba. LOL. Wouldn't that be nice!!!

7:52pm on 8/19/19 by MrsGrumpyinBrooklyn

@Mrs I assume you mean Roomba but I like to think of somebody vacuuming while dancing rumba

7:53pm on 8/19/19 by thinkschools

Great recon @Meech! Way to help out fellow liners! Thanks!

9:48pm on 8/19/19 by deejason

Thanks for the info. I hope you made it home safely.

1:31am on 8/20/19 by TrixieDust24

I remember some time ago a post from TSA stating lightsabers were permitted on plane are the new 1's diff and worried they wont be allowed? I'd be more concerned with gate attendant counting items....

5:55am on 8/20/19 by jennandbarn

We just went through TSA. One agent questioned it until her supervisor explained what the lightsaber was and that soon they'd be seeing a lot more of them.

6:19am on 8/21/19 by deejason

We saw tons of folks bring light sabers on their flights yesterday as well as carry-on luggage!

7:18am on 8/21/19 by brerbeer

In my mind every time someone says lightsaber I hear cash register cha-ching $200....I wonder what the per day gross is if all slots are filled with builders. It's too early for me to be mathematical....

7:39am on 8/21/19 by Dole Whip

$368,000.00... or the equivalent of 7 pressed pennies.

7:59am on 8/21/19 by Fatty McButterpants

Savi's only holds 15 people at a time. Experience is 15-20 minutes. So 45 sabers per hour x 12 hour opening period x $215.50 is $116,00 per day.

9:18am on 8/21/19 by Meech

Would love to see a comparison between ROI for butterbeer vs lightsabers.

9:19am on 8/21/19 by Meech

@Meech How much was shipping the light saber?

$58 to Philly with 2 day and packing fee. HBut e box was considered oversized. It sounds like TSA have been informed of the lightsabers. So if one denies you, ask for manager. I was worried being one of the first to carry, so I shipped.

9:54am on 8/21/19 by Meech

Thanks Meech. I'm more worried about it going on a cruise for a week than flying home with it. I feel like it's a lot of traveling for a $200 lightsaber.

3:49am by BiancaR

@Bianca you never know when you may need a light saber. Even at sea.

Just the virtual reality part. I can't really photograph that but it was really cool. It puts you in right in with the lions. Like they're coming up and checking out the camera.

Then I got the shrimp curry. Definitely spicy but I love spice so it's all good. Big shrimp too. https://imgur.com/a/X9U9Flu

7:18pm on 8/21/19 by BeckyVee

It's worth noting that the entrees are all served on actual plates and bowls. Not paper or plastic. With metal flatware too. They come and clear your table for you. They even brought me over a Diet Coke.

7:20pm on 8/21/19 by BeckyVee

Oh and when you come off the train and get to Harambe they give you chilled towels. Very welcome in this heat.

Wow. Just wow. So at 2:15 we got in line for our last ride. FOP. But they loaded 16 people but only 15 bikes were working. The other group was a group of 12 so we agreed to wait till the next one. It our last ride. We're not in a rush no big deal.

Second time thru they load 15 but the groups get all screwed up because of the down bike so we agreed to switch spots again. No big deal.

4:14pm on 8/21/19 by Swood999 family tree

After riding once they send us right back in the ride as a thank you no show no scan. Then after the ride they give us all two additional FOP FPes so I'm 2 hours we just ride FOP 4 times.

Will be in AK on Oct 6th, we couldn't get FOP fastpasses, so I'm trying to decide if we should rope drop that one (get there before the 7am opening) or try for a one during the same day FP drop. Recommendations?

11:19pm on 8/21/19 by atlas993

The sure way to go is rd or go right before closing. Trying to get one IF there is a drop is risky for me.

11:24pm on 8/21/19 by matterhorn55

Drops are fairly reliable. If it's a must do, the. Just rope drop or do at the end of the night.

11:30pm on 8/21/19 by Razsav

We love it so much, we rope dropped,had FPs & rode a 3rd time toward end of night.

We rope dropped "just in case"- and we are NOT a RD family! The kids and DH all said totally worth it! We did score 2 FP drops that day also! Loved it all 3 times!

BTMRR is my all time fave. But big drops/backward motion gives me anxiety. RmRC is tomorrow uggh. This is trip #8,people!

7:43pm on 8/21/19 by BwayDisneyMama

RnRC is worse than SM & EE in my opinion. The over the shoulder harnesses hurt my head & it feels rougher than EE. Don't worry about going backwards...it's like driving in reverse with a student driver. You got this!

7:48pm on 8/21/19 by SpaceRangerKnoxsMom

EE is great. It gives you a couple little breaks in the action which is nice. You can do it once!

7:51pm on 8/21/19 by LTinNC82

I'm also stuffed from Sanaa! Don't think this is a good idea hahaha

Good work! I was terrified all the way up the first hill - then I got off and went again immediately. Then I felt nauseous, but it was fun and I felt better pretty quickly. Just make sure you take a break if the backwards part gets to you at all.

8:31pm on 8/21/19 by Karilynn

Tomorrow is RnRC! Pray for meeeeee hahaha

9:09pm on 8/21/19 by BwayDisneyMama

Congrats! RnRC is smooth and fun! I avoided it for years & when I finally rode it I was mad at myself for not doing it sooner. Have fun! :-)

9:13pm on 8/21/19 by Conedog

You can do it! I never did RnR til my 50th bday trip! Now I love it and so it at least once per trip.

9:15pm on 8/21/19 by evamarie320

I did SM for the first time since childhood, and RnRC and EE for the first time last week. RnR was the most painful. EE was fun but I felt dizzy afterward. SM I was scared but loved and would do over and over if I could.

9:25pm on 8/21/19 by zstrassburger

Tip for RnRC: be sure to push your head back against the headrest before the launch and keep pushing it against the headrest throughout the ride.

I would ride RnRC ten times before you get me on Everest again. I hate the backwards part!

Tip: unlike most coasters, EE is more nauseating if you sit in the front. Because on the dark / roughest part, you're in the back!

Woo Hoo! Finally got an Oga's reservation for opening day! Thank you reservation finder! (Though I got Lady & the Tramp when clicking through with the link, but searched again on my own and it was there!

I agree that it is awesome, I've been to Oga's at Batuu West (in Disneyland) and an excited that I get to experience Oga's at Batuu East!

@Jades - so curious how they compare!

They definitely overestimate wait times at closing. Estimated time for SDMT was 30 minutes. Actual time to board was 12.

I'm in line now, too! Posted was 25...we will see how long it really is!

Agreed! Posted wait time @ beginning of FOP queue 2 wks ago was 145 minutes. I whispered to DH "Ha-ha - but we know where 140 minutes starts!"

Meant to add this was about 15 minutes before scheduled park closure.

Ha ha. Judyhopps. I should have shouted out "Dang Daddy"! I got in line at 10 min prior to closure.
