I saw a similar time for FoP several of the past few days. Safari has been long but not quite that long so far this week. I have also seen SDD and Rise at those level multiple days this week, so nothing new there.

Definitely looks like Animal and Studios are the busiest parks today.

If a posted wait time says "65min" and if you walk up to a Cast Member and ask them how long the wait time "actually" is, even if they KNOW the wait is only 15-20 min, they are NOT allowed to tell you that. They are under strict "instructions" to ONLY repeat the "official" wait time and NOT the "real" time. How many billions of reports do we need to see from regular people who say the "official" wait time was much longer than the real wait time? Also, Cast Member's who operate the rides know "exactly" how many trains and boats they are told to run everyday. It's not a conspiracy theory. People who work there know what is going on.

This is one of those conspiracies that won’t die. Attractions don’t purposely decrease capacity to sell lightning lanes.

If you think of it, these are all just "markets" that Disney can sell to. Christianity, Judaism or any other religion are just consumer "markets". Even holiday Pagan myths like trees, mistletoe, wreaths and Yule logs and plenty of other non-Christian/Jewish symbols too! Yes, even the Latin American and African holiday stuff too. Yes, even non-holiday LGBTQIA++ groups are a market that Disney can sell to. Disney is just appealing to the MANY "tribes" in the world and trying to provide something for everybody. Yes, even Atheists too. If you identify with it, go buy tickets and merchandise for it. If you don't identify with it, then avoid it? Simple solution?

It's the Christmas story being read from the Bible. I'm not sure how you go into that thinking it won't be religious.

I like attending the Candlelight Processional to enjoy a nice story, good music, and singing. I don't attend as much expecting to be indoctrinated into a religion.

I mean, EPCOT has plenty of different religious celebrations during Festival of the Holidays. In one so overt as the Candlelight Processional, one so distinctly Christian, I think it's fair to let it be just that. No need to water it down. If someone isn't interested in the Christmas story or hearing what Christians believe about God and Jesus, don't go to the Processional. It isn't that difficult. The Processional is inherently religious because that's what it's all about. You may consider it a way for Disney to exact more money from people (and they may see it as that as well), but there are plenty in the audience who enjoy a religious moment during a busy season that reminds us of the reason for the season.

That tag included the line: "With God as our father..." So, I'm glad you've reconsidered your stance on religion in theme parks.

likewise...literally....

Walt himself started the Candlelight Procession in Disneyland. So, you're arguing with the Father of Themeparks in this regard. World showcase is about the culture of various nations. Human culture includes religion, and so, it is showcased in World Showcase. In addition to the Candlelight Procession, the art and architecture found in the national pavilions showcase that region's religions. And you're purposely misconstruing what I originally said with this Straw Man argument claiming that I'm against "peace" which is not at all my argument. So, congratulations on defeated a premise that was never made. It was genius. LOL

I loved the old ROE Holiday tag that added Let There Be Peace On Earth...ending with hundreds of candles floating on the lake surface... It was so beautiful... Peace can exist without dragging someone's personal religion into it... and Peace as a goal is a wonderful thing...

Tron, three hours? I have to wonder how many trains and boats they put on the tracks lately. Burbank KNOWS the world is watching wait times and making charts on them. It is certainly in Burbank's very best interest to make sure that lines are "long". 1.) Long wait times increase those sweet and juicy app purchases to skip the line. 2.) Long wait times create the "look" for those carefully watching that park's financial numbers are awesome. "Short" lines are very, VERY bad for Burbank today. How do you keep them looking good? Adjust the rider number-per-hour capacity in Burbank's favor. Add/remove trains and boats to get the "good" numbers they want and then post wait times that are worse than the actual time. Burbank knows what they are doing and Cast Members know what's going on ;-)
