Not Snow White, not Haunted Mansion, not Pirates...not even the Tiki Room which I saw a screaming child carried out of. Found that extremely odd that none of those rides are potentially "frightening for children." And infuriating since one of the reasons Alien Encounter was replaced with SGE was because SGE would be more kid-friendly.

Okay, so I didn't really say that to her, but I'm just amazed that guests still show up at WDW not knowing anything about FP. Makes me wonder if they system works well for those of us who understand it because of the Oblivious Guest Factor.

The thought of using Disney restrooms in HK in days does!

It's amazing how hard such an easy system is to people.
