I wonder if Anna and Elsa are really only the 20 minutes being posted in the Lines app?

Yes according to all the blogger its been 15-25 minutes since it opened basically.

3 magical doors there vs 2 at magic kingdom

I have to decide whether to FP new Soarin or the Frozen ride. Big decision.

For now I would go with Frozen. Unless it starts to run more consistently soon. It sounded like there were multiple stoppages yesterday and today. Standby line was closed for at least part of the day on both days.

I'd go with Frozen since it's so slow loading and the standby wait is so long.

Frozen. Soarin was only 30 minutes in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. Also the wait is inside.

We have a FP for FEA and I'm still worried we won't get to ride with all the breakdowns it's been experiencing.

I would hope the kinks would be worked out by our trip, but it would be nice to have a FP around our lunch at Akershus.  

I guess we will head to Soarin at rope drop and then go straight to Test Track.  We have a DLR trip sometime in the fall, so I can get my Soarin fix there if need be.

Ugh. I'm thinking even with our FP for Saturday night we might not be doing it. There is no way I'm having my kids stand in line for 2 hours WITH a fast pass!

I'm to lazy to look on pg 1 of this post, but I think it was chicago who said that with their FP it was only a 10 minute wait.  

My guess is that mornings are worse because everyone is trying to get on line to make sure that they get to ride it, so standby is crazy long and it slows down the FP line until things level off because stoppages...which I suspect are less technical issues and more crowd control, but that is just a theory on my part.

Those pics are ridiculous. I love the world showcase but seriously am considering skipping it during our next trip. How on earth are they going to manage that many people, plus the food and wine crowds?

I bet that by October waits will be down to 90 minutes mid day. Not that I would wait 90 minutes for if but I bet you could get in 30 at RD.

I have no interest in the ride. I just want to avoid the general craziness in the area and all of the extra crowds. Especially when the world showcase is already more crowded than normal due to F&W.

I wouldn't be able to resist a new ride while I am there. I'm crazy though!

Beautiful. You'll be good. The FP wait decreased significantly over the course of the day.

At least a couple of times they evacuated people off the boats.

Well, there goes that theory. lol

I just watched a video of it. I'm embarrassingly excited to ride it. I loved Maelstrom anyway. I wouldn't wait hours to ride ANYTHING though.

It's been broken for the past two days! WTH Disney?

How come they didn't do soft openings for the ride? They just ran out of time?

Yes. As of Saturday the imagineers didn't even know if it was going to open on time
