It's also important to remember that Kumba opened in 1993!!!! Six years earlier than those B&M's down I-4 that were deemed too old and busted and either needed replacing or removing. BGT operates a very similar year round schedule as well. They are welcome to keep doing rehab's if it keeps Kumba running!

You really have to know how to read Trip Advisor reviews and figure out what hotels are really like. Location often times is more important that super reviews. Glad you had a good time, looking forward to more! -
^&^^ Disney is never really 'dead' anymore like you used to see. They do a very good job with special events, groups, and international guests to fill in the times of year that used to be empty. It takes some planning, but I don't understand ever waiting 2 hours for Mansion or missing out on something like Jingle Cruise.

Local schools are not out at all that week, but that is a week you'll see a lot of random northern schools out as well as South American groups. When you ask if two days is enough at Disney you have to tell us a bit more about what you'd like to do at Disney? We just talked about this a lot in CoasterBill's thread (http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=75479) so I would check there first for some info on doing Pandora and more.

Wow, I didn't realize that Seibu had gone so downhill!! Are there any other coasters left in the world now where you queue sitting down? It was a very odd park and I'm not surprised. It seems most of the Japanese 'mid-range' parks are closing or changing to kiddie parks only. -
Robb really hit pretty much everything. One more thing that I'll add since I know you guys DO want to do the safari, is that in January the animals are out more than just morning and night. It's from April - October that you'll only see them morning and night because Florida is a disgusting hot, humid hell hole that even the animals want no part of. Don't stress too much about hitting it at like 2pm...in January, that's fine.

Another vote for Top Jump. Not for the Trampoline area, but for the climbing area. Super fun and one of the only Clip and Climb installations in the US (and the biggest). -
I'll do a more detailed post later but I wanted to address the Flight of Passage Avatar stuff as that's important and we've been helping people get on it since it opened. You have two choices...both of which you'll wait about 60-90min for the ride, but it totally depends how you like to wait. I like the morning method. Plan to be at the front gates of Animal Kingdom 90 minutes prior to opening. You will most likely be off of Flight of Passage before the park is technically open. Then you can do River Journey, and then you'll still be ahead of everyone else for all other rides at the park. Robb prefers the night method. This means getting in line 10 minutes before park close and you will wait 60-90min in a full queue with humans. Now you do have a chance for a fast pass but it will take time, patience, and you'll want to check one person at a time. Starting at 30 days (when you can make the reservation) check every day, as much as you can, refreshing for every hour during the day. You will have a decent chance at finding ONE randomly pop up. And yes...Yak and Yeti!

So according to the English articles, they're just as bad at translating as I am or it's still not clear? New questions: - New park or new lands? - Starting in 2025 or done by 2025? -

^Nice find! Is it construction finished by 2025 or starting in 2025 though? My Japanese is not so good! The article says more details in May...I'm excited! Think it's still the rumored "Air" park or maybe a Studios? -
