What a bummer that it is only for resort guests. But a Magic Morning sure isn't worth those exorbitant resort hotel prices for us.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I'm a bit of a control freak, so I'd have to get the fastpasses. Heimlich is about my husband's speed anyway, lol.

Originally Posted By familyguy We were there less than a year ago and it it did a little, but not often. One time, the ride broke down while we were on it but right at the end as we were waiting to unload...we probably waited in the unload area by Lightning Mcqueen and Mater for a five minutes...when we started moving again and got to the unload dock, they asked us if we wanted to ride again since the ride messed up while we were on it. Score!! We didn't even miss any of the ride the first time because it messed up at the end for us, but we took it for sure!
Originally Posted By ABBY Score for sure FG!!! That is cool to ride twice in a row. I remember back in the day at Great America they had "double dare" on the Demon where you could ride twice that was the best !! I am so excited to ride RSR!! Three days to go !! I hope we can ride at least twice!
Originally Posted By familyguy You will be able to ride twice! It's a great experience. I have been seeing the videos of the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at WDW and it seems like they are following the trend they started with RSR - part "thrill ride" part "dark ride". I LOVE the marriage of the 2.
