The park hours have started changing:
December 5, 2019
Epcot opens one hour earlier, EMH from 7 - 8 am, park hours 8 am - 9:30 pm
DHS adds an hour at both ends, now open 8 am - 10 pm
AK opens one hour earlier and adds EMH from 7 - 8 am, park hours 8 am - 8 pm
None of this will affect us since we'll be at MK all day.
It will be interesting if the rest of the week sees similar changes.
And I can hear @mSummers swearing because the brochures are now out of date.

No cursing from me. The brochures are finalized and probably off to the printer (or at least on Tim’s to-do list). Too late to do anything about it now.

Sherry said we must all wear these in the parks. She makes fun of photographers that wear these things. She keeps telling me she is getting me a tan one.

Here's some more stuff to put on your already-crowded to-do list at MVMCP:
Space Mountain has dazzling lights and high-energy holiday tunes (maybe like a roller coaster meets the Osborne Lights?)
Monster's Inc Laugh Floor is filled with holiday fun.
Mad Tea Party and Tomorrowland Speedway have holiday lights and music.

The Beach Club chocolate carousel has a Peter Pan theme this year.

I loved the Space Mountain Holiday "overlay". Very different, almost like riding with the lights on.
 
For those of you wanting to try out something new at Pixelmania, LensRentals is offering at 30% discount for all rentals arriving before the end of February. (The earliest they can get something to WDW is Dec. 4). The discount code is LRBF19 and it expires on December 2.
I'm renting a Tamron 35mm f/1.4, which LR owner Roger Cicala says is the best lens he's seen to date. Listen to episode 88 of the Photo Geek Weekly podcast to hear him say it near the end of the show.

Thank you
 
Fearless Leader is frozen out from the party tomorrow night - went to get my tickets but its sold out. This has been a LONG year for me.

Fine with me, what did you have in mind? I was toying with the idea of going over to Gaylord palms to see the ice show. Gary said it’s themed to polar express this year.
 
Have FP at DAK in the evening. Thinking of trying to get into Studios just before close for RotR. We’ll keep an eye on wait times for that.

I have a feeling though that this is only temporary (I hope) thru the holidays... think about it, by having more people inside this queue, there are less people in other queues... which makes it easy for others to join those other queues. Granted, it also means those inside this queue are not spending money while in the queue.

So is this Disney creating the overload, or people just lingering way too long? If it’s Disney, all they are creating is longer waits inside with less opportunity for a “show” within the interrogation. And you are correct, so glad we got on when we did.

On the bright side, more time for photos as you get herded along the ropes. All I could come up with.

This is Disney planning on this to happen. It doesn't have anything to do with the holidays.

It completely ruins the experience... when instead of a being in a group of rebels, you're in a packed room full of human beings, waiting in a line.

There are switch back lines in place.

I'm so sick of Disney using the media to promote an experience they have no intent on offering to the rest of the guests. This is more than a little shady and it's becoming par for the course.

DISGUSTING!
