Oldiesmann Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 And people think enthusiasts are nuts for waiting 4+ hours for a new coaster...

MDMC01 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I mean, it's a cute bucket, but seven hours... I will pass. Was/is it a limited time thing? Also, I do know how much Figment, Dreamfinder and the original Journey of Imagination (I think that's what it's called) means to some people and their nostalgia for it (I've also read about the disdain for Journey into Your Imagination in the 90's), but still... EDIT: Watch the embedded Twitter video in the article to get a sense of how big the line was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Ugh, I wish Disney Pass Holders had their own carbon copy magic kingdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Anyone ever try the Buffalo Blue Cheese popcorn. I chickened out our last visit but we are heading to Disney later this year. We had a Disney cruise planned but choose to opt out with all the COVID going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 People need to understand that Disney World has a huge number of resellers and scalpers. There are people who have essentially turned shopping at the resort and selling the items online into a full time job. The resort has been trying to fight this by introducing purchase restrictions and canceling annual passes, but there are still a huge number of people doing this. This popcorn bucket is just the latest item which was immediately posted on eBay. There are literally hundreds of these already listed online, and they can sell for more then a hundred dollars. The long line was a combination of people trying to make money, and people who actually want it for themselves. Just take a look at this photo and understand the purchase limit was 2 per a person.
