Why was Toy Story Mania down MadEye? It isn't old enough to require a refurb yet is it? Or were they adding a new game again?

It is nice to see Disney using that with everything in the park being closed.

Amy, I believe it was closed for a little over a week for standard work. Most likely it got a cleaning, software update, and new pull strings on the ride vehicles. That would be my best guess.

They might have had to de-Len-ize a few of the pull strings too :lol:
I haven't seen Sounds Dangerous for a while but I remember thinking it was a cute little show. Why does everyone dislike it so much? Drew Carey isn't my favorite by any means but I really like the concept of the sounds sounding so real!

I've heard they were adding unload gates because of idiots running toward the track when the vehicles were moving.

And I was wrong, it reopened today. But Sounds Dangerous is still open until ST reopens.

Oh, and remember that shirt you wanted to get but they didn't have your size, Len? They now have a reddish/orange version with a regular collar instead of a V neck.

Weirdness is compatible with ours,

Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

You are right MadEye ~ found this in the MiceChat update today (this referred to DL, but I'm guessing it is the same for WDW)
Toy Story Midway Mania!: Closed through October 10 to install safety gates in load station.
Although they left out the part about the idiots though ;)

Thanks for the update MadEye. Are there any pictures of that shirt that you saw or even sku number. I just might have to give in and mail order it from merchandising.

I heard that rumor about the gates. I wonder if it will happen in WDW.

I have sent the photo of the orange logo shirt off to WDW Mail Order by e-mail; hopefully, they will reply with details about ordering it by mail.

Or.... Anyone who wants one can send me the money (plus shipping) and I can get it for you for a discount. Just saying. :D

Yes, still have friends at the world. But the better half works for the mouse as well.
