That's changed then since I was there last in April. I hope the Magic Band rollout happens soon. I dont think it will be as bad as some are saying. Disney keeps saying it wont supersede the regular fastpass, just that you can make advance reservations for 3 attractions. Just a way to spread more people around the park evenly.

Yes I was there in July and folks were eating in all 3 main dinning areas of BoG. Still not sure how I feel about the new FastPass system, big fan of what they have and it has always worked great for us.

same for me, but Disney isnt dumb enough to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. I dont forsee the Magicband replacing fastpass. Now, for purchases and restaurant reservations, it's great! Sync w your smartphone or a kiosk at the park and voila--off you go.

When we went in July, we purposely didn't eat breakfast, then went to Be Our Guest very soon after they opened for lunch. We got right in with no wait. All rooms were open, so of course we chose to eat in the West Wing. When we left, there was quite a line to get in, so our planning worked well.

Disney has released an night time POV.

Love how this ride is coming together.

Heigh Ho!

All in the Details: The Big Drop at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom Park

http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2014/03/all-in-the-details-the-big-drop-at-seven-dwarfs-mine-train-at-magic-kingdom-park/

The whole ride looks great and I think the mine scene will surely make up for the removal of the former Snow White ride.

So excited to be riding this in December at Disney!

The 1950s-era silhouette people looked amused!

Seriously, though, it looks like a fun, family ride.

When is this ride set to open?

I'm not sure if an official date is set.

I believe the media event is April 30th, they may have potential soft openings prior to that date.

Knowing Disney there will be many soft openings before the official open. Cast members will probably get it to themselves one night or morning before opening.

Disney releases CGI video of new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Attraction.

I will keep an eye out for it to be included in the FP+ selections if it officially opens before my trip. On a side note, I noticed that the Frozen meet n greet at the MK is now a FP+ option, but not surprisngly, was all out of advance reservations for each day I'm there.

Ride was seen with riders filming for a commercial!

That's looking awesome! I really hope I get to ride it soon!

It reminds me of Expedition Everest meets Splash Mountain.

Is that the actual, full POV? It seems really short. Looks fun, though. And you're right - it looks a lot like Expedition Everest.

Not the full POV but as much as Disney will release for now. Media day is tomorrow.

Here is a complete ride through from both the front seat and the back seat:

Plenty of time for soft openings. Hoping for some rides when I'm there next Thurs-Sun!

Definitely a ride for little kids, that's for sure!

I can't speak for myself but I know I look forward to enjoying it on my next trip.

I'm well beyond a little kid.

Agreed! it looks like a tweener coaster between Barnstormer and BTMR. For those visiting the park 5/28 or after, FP + is now available to book for the ride. However, their website has been seeing huge traffic, so be patient if doing so.

I love rides like this. I was one of the first people in line for Ariel's Undersea Adventure when I was in the park last year and I'm a 33 year old male. My wife and I are going back down in October and if we make it to the Magic Kingdom, I'll be happily waiting to ride this one as well!

IF?? You can't go to WDW and not go to MK! On my trips, I always allot about 40-50% of my time just to MK That's like going to Goldstar or Skyline and ordering a salad!
