Yesterday BTRR had a short line of 5 minutes. Yes! A slow day at Disneyland, 4 days in a row!

The SG family gets their FP and head to the FP line.

CM: Sorry folks. your time is 2:15 pm to 3:15 pm.

SG: I thought once you get the FP , you can go directly into the line and ride.

CM: The system was designed to give you the FP, you come back later at the time and then walk into the line and ride the attraction.

If I were then, just walk into the microscopic line and ride the attraction.

Take a day to video the walk from various parts of the park to the exit, then video ferry/monorail to TTC, simulate walk to car, bus ride times if going back to hotel, etc. It would make an interesting video series on Youtube, and useful for planning. You could become a star AND the most hated man on board x!
Clever idea! But why would BW, (or anyone here) give a hoot what the board x people think?

They don't, it's just another data point :)

Standing at Pavilion Greeter for Finding Nemo. one of the biggest question that I am really tired of answering "Where is the fast pass for this ride?"

I have people get really pissed when I tell them we dont have it. For most of the day Nemo barely has a line.

Actually, I did have someone tell me about a conversation over there, so I went and stopped a flame war in progress. So sometimes I do. It's rare, but sometimes I do.

Proof that Pixarization =/= Queue-generator.

I am soooo happy GMR doesn't deal with FP. I don't miss it whatsoever (after having to deal with the nonsense at TSM).

Oops, forgot this was in the WDW section. :p: Sorry about that.

People just look at me funny when I tell them that the Matterhorn doesn't have a FP.

Speaking of Nemo, this guy in the red hat was constantly taking flash pictures of the various screens in the ride. GENIUS! He didn't seem to care a very bright flash blasted in his direction though, maybe he can't see anymore due to the flashes of his own camera every 10 seconds.

This happens all the time on Little Mermaid and Hautned Mansion, eventhough the "No Flash Photography" rule is enforced.
