Congrats to the winners!
I probably won't get there until about 11:30 that day, since I will be coming from LA that morning.Quote:

For what it's worth, I just saw a tweet reporting that a soft opening has happened today.
Just saw that! Shows a 30 min wait. I am at work...LOl :(
Yeah, at home with a sick kid. :( No soft opening for us...
I saw that online, too late to make it today. Not sure if it is still open, but waits seemed to be staying around 90 min. or so now.
Edit: It seems as of now (5:30pm PST) they are still open, and waits are only 30 min. or less. I guess that what happens with a surprise soft opening.
That's how it was last week at WDW. We waited less than 20 minutes both times we rode last Sunday.Quote:

On another note. My nephew is a CM and they are doing CM previews for the new (Little Mermaid) Ariel attraction tomorrow (Saturday). Too bad he only was able to get 4 tickets (for him and brother & parents)..... oh well.
The first run for 2000 guests was yesterday,
for those that were in the right place at the
right time.
:mickey:
I'm hearing that even with the AP previews, soft openings may continue. The AP tickets will get in with a FastPass.
Yes, there will be an R2-D2 popcorn bucket that I believe comes filled with caramel popcorn and will be available from some of the ODV carts in TomorrowlandQuote:

We got on the train for our grand trip around Disneyland. Found out from a couple behind us on the train and got off at tomorrowland. We waited a little over an hour..but it was so worth it. I can't wait to ride it again. My hubby is jealous because he forgot his hat and it got to ride it twice..:thumbsup:
Can't wait to see this R2d2 bucket....just might have to buy it! we will be back at Disneyland tomorrow...maybe we can ride again:D.
Don't you love unexpected treats like that? Glad you got to ride. We rode at WDW last week during soft openings, and I agree...the wait is worth it! :yoda:Quote:

I wonder if there's any thought to bring that strange sea salt ice cream (in the weird clamshells) for when Little Mermaid opens- then they could also tie it in with Shellie May to add to the expanding Duffy universe.
Yay - we are totally getting a R2 bucket then. We'll look next time we are at DHS. Avoiding that place for awhile. ;)Quote:

My memory is more of being scolded by a CM for eating while on the DisneySea transit steamer (granted, I should have known better as the whole eating on the go thing isn't common).Quote:

On my last visit I tried these fried mochi balls which were quite good.
But what I'd really like are those maple churros and they also had this thing which was almost like a chocolate filled churro but the pastry portion was a little different (very good though). Not sure if I'd have the sesame or honey-lemon churro though.
And the popcorn buckets still are much better at the Tokyo parks (and a very good deal for the refills).
