SPRINGTIME SURPRISE - DATE CHANGED!!!! It's now April 8-11. If you've already booked rooms (like I have) time to get in and change it. @Hodg, does this change you being able to come?!

How crazy is that. Did they say why they moved the date?

36 min ago by youcanfly

What a PITA

32 min ago by Ali Ababwa

They didn't say why but apparently the old date was the same as Boston so maybe that's why?

27 min ago by popupcamper

surprised at the date change. We like the themes but would need to take off 2 days of work that back up to our spring break; when the original dates were during break. It's frowned upon in our district for teachers to take off dates attached to a break.

How is tower of terror compared to that rise drop? Kid is expressing interest in tower but I also hate the rise drop lol

10:36am on 6/15/26 by RileysBirthday

collapse thread

Oh my @rileys. They aren't the same at all. I cried and literally fell to the ground when I got off terror. I can do it now but I meditate the entire time. I find rises drop fun.

10:43am on 6/15/26 by popupcamper

Oh rise is nothing. Tot I finally found the hand holds on the side so I tolerate it once for dh who loves it.

10:45am on 6/15/26 by melodicwords

Rise is like missing the last step down a staircase. Tot is like jumping off your roof.

10:56am on 6/15/26 by MOJoe

Definitely not the same! I add the emphasis because the tiny drop on RotR is so small compared to ToT. I can't do ToT

10:58am on 6/15/26 by youcanfly

(Insert laughing emoji here) If you can't do the drop in Rise don't even attempt ToT.

11:01am on 6/15/26 by JenniferB1975

And what MoJoe said ^^^^

11:02am on 6/15/26 by JenniferB1975

@MoJoe has it!

11:25am on 6/15/26 by evamarie320

LOL, @MO! Plus I get motion sick on TOT now. In 90s, it was just the one huge drop at first then a smaller 2nd. I loved it. Sheer terror. This whole random bouncing like Tigger assortment of drops is less sheer terror and more puke feeling.

11:28am on 6/15/26 by Jennyhirsch

Add in the factor that the number of drops and height varies each time. Rise drops once. TOT will drop several times. Each time trying to kill me again.

12:06pm on 6/15/26 by Elaine5715

What they all said! Rise is a little swoopy dip to "launch". ToT is a stomach dropping fall-repeated with more bounces- I love it, & the GotG version evem more- doesn't sound as if it's for you!

12:57pm on 6/15/26 by hodg

These comments made me laugh and choose to happily skip tower ! Lol

1:57pm on 6/15/26 by RileysBirthday

Ummm "Tower of Terror" never sounded like a fun time to me.

3:05pm on 6/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

Tower of Mild Dispepsia just doesn't have that thrill ride feel, though.

3:06pm on 6/15/26 by JJT (staff)

Dfil84 struggles w btmrr, wldnt touch tron, Space or RnRC, Had to retreat to hotel for 5 hours after hagrids- & loves ToT. Everyone has their different issues and loves.

3:48pm on 6/15/26 by hodg

@Ali, I once overheard a kid asking their dad, "What are we going on next?" Dad said "Tower of....uh....something." :D

4:04pm on 6/15/26 by annecampbell

Tower of Projectile Vomit might work...

5:02pm on 6/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

TOT is the only ride I have never ridden at WDW.

5:10pm on 6/15/26 by moondance07

Ended up skipping it and dd came out the ride making the puke motion face and said never again lol

6:14pm on 6/15/26 by RileysBirthday

lol @JJT! Every time my DS16 and I go on ToT (which we finally got brave enough to do last year), he mumbles "why do I do this to myself?" But yet, we go again. The sheer adrenaline of anticipation... Also funny "Tower of uh...something" Ha!

7:36pm on 6/15/26 by missWishes

Hard to believe after all these years that originally ToT was just a single drop. And it was a big deal when they added the second drop. And now . . . .

8:11pm on 6/15/26 by cigar95

@hodg is right. I have extremely bad motion sickness, but I can handle TOT which I ADORE. I'd encourage most everyone to give it a try.

Also, the theming makes it seem more, well, terrorizing. If it was brightly lit and called something like happy jiggly bounce hotel, I bet the drops wouldn't feel as scary.

Now, do the boats to DS, please.

1:16pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

As someone who always stays in the bubble, I say "GOOD!"

3:07pm on 6/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

I always stay on property but there may be those that aren't that want to see the resorts at Easter for the eggs or at Christmas or want to enjoy the lounges. Stayed at the Poly last week but took boat from DS to POFQ. Ive ot encountered transport probs.

3:54pm on 6/15/26 by JenniferB1975

I might be too cynical but it signals cost cutting to me. Ive never really gotten the impression that hoardes were using the buses to skip the parking fee... and why woudlnt they want people spending at the resorts...

4:12pm on 6/15/26 by Totsypooh

As someone who always stays in the bubble (and pays extra for it) ... I'm all for restricting the WDW buses, SL, and boats to paying resort guests only. I wonder how much that would reduce ridership?

4:13pm on 6/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

There is a major problem at POFQ with people who stay off property riding the boat to and from DS. It creates a backup for people who are actually staying there, making it a less viable transportation option.

4:14pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

We did not notice the issue the first couple times we stayed there, but definitely did in November and again a couple weeks ago. They've got to find a fix for that, because it isn't fair to people staying at POFQ. Not related to the bus crackdown, tho.

4:16pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

Surprising to hear @utang. I guess POFQ is one of the few to not restrict parking. Maybe they'll start.

4:45pm on 6/15/26 by evamarie320

I think this is an interesting one. They are willing to pay people to stand there and monitor. So they're paying around $20 an hour to keep someone there. That's what one parking fee an hour? So they would need to discourage 13 groups from doing this

4:47pm on 6/15/26 by popupcamper

I wonder how much it costs them to just install a tapstyle?

5:01pm on 6/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

@Ali if you restrict Disney transportation to only "paying"resort guests, how do you propose non resort guest park hop? I think this gets into a class warfare. Not everyone can afford to stay on property.

5:03pm on 6/15/26 by JenniferB1975

Oh, they're not parking there, @eva. They're riding the boat back and forth to get beignets, which creates a cluster of people up front. That's a more easily navigable issue for resort guests, though.

5:05pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

As another example - I'm local and don't often stay onsite, but I'll take buses to hop parks, resorts, etc. Disney can still make money from me if I'm eating or shopping at DS.

5:08pm on 6/15/26 by moondance07

I don't know, part of me sort of would prefer that my resort be for people who are staying there only. I get the dining reservation aspect but I don't feel the need for there to be free bus transportation for folks not staying at a hotel.

5:19pm on 6/15/26 by melcort10

Not to mention that you visit when you're 22, can't afford parks each day, hop around resorts, come back as "mature" adults staying at the delux hotels you visited back then, join Lines & get sucked in to multiple trips & maybe dvc one day. Or just me?

5:22pm on 6/15/26 by hodg

The test during Easter was about restricting guests to only their resort or if the had a valid reason such as dining. It didn't matter if you were onsite or off. When we stay onsite we use buses from DS and parks to visit resorts that aren't where we are*

5:23pm on 6/15/26 by youcanfly

** staying. This doesn't just effect offsite guests but hurts guests like myself that use Disney transportation services that have been widely available

5:25pm on 6/15/26 by youcanfly

Love it, @hodg. :-)

5:27pm on 6/15/26 by TumbleMonkeys

I think at Easter you just needed to show that you were staying somewhere on property or had an ADR to access the bus area, then could go to whatever resort bus you wanted.

5:28pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

I don't think an ADR is too much to ask to use free transportation. It would also correct a security loophole. I'd make an exception for buses between parks, those should be for people with park tickets/AP, not resort guests.

5:34pm on 6/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

@moondance, you don't have a FL Resident AP? I wonder if this is a push for locals to get an AP. That way you can park at any theme park and walk or use transportation to hop to resorts?

5:45pm on 6/15/26 by PrincipalTinker

Wait, how can you tell that the people in line for the boat are staying offsite..?

5:52pm on 6/15/26 by LaurenInWonderland

I feel like in order to make this work they must stop people from walking over to SAratoga Springs as well....if the intention is to protect transportation for Disney guests only

6:25pm on 6/15/26 by Gusgus5

Didn't say that clearly, @lauren. Off property as in not at PO. You can for sure tell who's actually staying at PO and who is not. People staying there or at POR don't hop off the boat and right back on after eating beignets.

7:22pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

It has been heavily promoted as something people can access using the boats, so a lot of offsite folks do park at DS and ride the boat to and fro. That's fine, but they need a fix to allow PO guests easier access to the boats as a resort amenity.

7:24pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

I'm guessing that would also affect those who take the BW or YC/BC buses when staying at Swalphin?

7:26pm on 6/15/26 by missWishes

@miss I could see that as a possibility. I'm wondering if this would affect guests leaving a park and trying to find a resort/lounge for food. With parks closing earlier these past years, we've often left a park and taken a bus to CSR since they have***

6:49am by youcanfly

** 2 places for late dining and drinks. I think the original test was only buses for DS though

6:50am by youcanfly

I read it's only Disney springs and will include the boats.

7:40am by popupcamper

I saw that too @popup but I am concerned if that is real (date included from chat).

7:42am by PrincipalTinker

That post also states you have to have a reservation (resort, dining, experience) for the resort you are going to.

7:53am by PrincipalTinker

I saw that same thing, @popup. Don't have a trip planned, but am interested to see if that curtails the boat chaos at POFQ.

8:29am by utang44

The way that post is written seems to say Disney resort guests cannot take the boat to POR without a reservation. You can't go to see Yeehaw Bob that way?

8:42am by PrincipalTinker

Monday night the line for the boats to POFQ from DS was really long but we only waited 20 minutes. About the same as the wait for a bus at a resort. Used the time to talk to DD. We weren't in a hurry. There's also a bus to POFQ from DS.

8:45am by JenniferB1975

We waited much longer than that for a return boat from DS a couple weeks ago, but the bigger problem is the wait for a boat *to* DS. We tried to ride the boat to DS several times in two weeks and ended up using the bus bc the boat wait was insane.

8:55am by utang44

...view 35 more comments

The busses to DS share with POR and are often overcrowded. The boat is promoted as an amenity for the resort, so it really needs to be more accessible to guests there. That's the bottom line.

8:57am by utang44

And you don't think it's because they are running less boats like they do buses? Just curious because I remember seeing how the change in routes and how drivers are often moved around (not specific to a route) is affecting bus times.

9:30am by youcanfly

It seems obvious to me that there must be hundreds of cars being parked at DS to avoid the $35 parking fee at the Theme Parks. If there is anything Disney is good at, it's closing loopholes, especially when money is involved.

I had 2/3 good visits at Y&Y, once I had poor service during a very crowded day. Not bad enough to strike it from the rotation, but enough to bump it well down my list.

10:22am by Ali Ababwa

Yeah, I've had a similar experience with a few different restaurants on property. I love FF but had a not so great meal so I found myself going less often. Especially when everything is fairly expensive and there are so many options.

That's been our experience too @eva. We will mention we are meeting a group or visiting a lounge but never just waved through. Just didn't always need the ADR.

9:26am by youcanfly

I think the Bad Guys can figure out how to tell the gate personnel that they're just "visiting a lounge".

10:25am by Ali Ababwa

The Bad Guys can also make fake ADRs with a fake identity and a credit card, but then there are some digital tracks in place.

Hate Everest. Like 7d, like tron. Space okay but not ideal . Where's rock n rollercoaster fall and how does it compare? I've never gone on an upside down ride ?

1:58pm on 6/15/26 by RileysBirthday

collapse thread

I would say Rock n Roller Coaster is more intense than Space. It's smoother but it goes upside down three times. Based on that you could say RNRC is more intense than Everest, too. But Everest is more intimidating looking because it's outdoors.

2:04pm on 6/15/26 by TumbleMonkeys

RnRC makes me feel like my neck and head are going to detach from my body. I rode it again this trip, and I enjoy it, but yeah.

2:04pm on 6/15/26 by utang44

The initial takeoff is the biggest part of the ride. Since it's in darkness, it's hard to tell when you're doing an inverted loop. The ride is only 1:22 long, so over soon if you don't like it. Try it!

2:05pm on 6/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

Yeah, if you haven't been upside down before, you should know it really shakes your head around as utang said.

2:06pm on 6/15/26 by TumbleMonkeys

I keep my head pushed back on RnRC and it's smooth. I no longer ride Space because it's jerky and wrenches my back and my neck feels too at risk. Love EE and Guardians. Tron is meh.

2:14pm on 6/15/26 by snowdiz

Keep your core tight. Makes a difference, even with head and neck!

2:26pm on 6/15/26 by Jennyhirsch

Not a fan of either Everest or RNRC but I do them both when with my family but wouldn't at all if it was up to me. RNRC is worse than Everest for me, and both are worse than Space. I also love 7D and Tron.

2:35pm on 6/15/26 by popupcamper

Request to ride up front (or near the front) - feels smoother up there so it helps as well

2:52pm on 6/15/26 by Thingamabobs_20

It sounds like mission space orange......

3:10pm on 6/15/26 by RileysBirthday

Totally different feeling to MS- but RnRC is more intense than EE id say with the corkscrew esp- but it is all forwards & so fast it's over and done.

3:46pm on 6/15/26 by hodg

RnR is much more intense than Space Mt. If you hate Everest and Space is "just okay and not ideal" you might want to avoid RnR.

3:46pm on 6/15/26 by JenniferB1975

I've ridden SM for the last time until they gut and replace that old 70s-era herky-jerky rollercoaster. I hope I live to see the day!

So how many rides can we persuade @riley not to ride in one evening on chat?! How about Guardians? Or teacups- that one I avoid.
