On this show we talk about all the character meet and greets returning, our thoughts on the 50th anniversary celebrations the last 18 months, and finally all about Anna's Tron preview.
Tron - Starting, March 20, Tron is having a soft opening until April 2, and then it opens April 4.. You can get a virtual queue at 7am and 1pm and buy an ILL. I have been hearing you must be on time for your virtual queue which has not been the case previously. I wonder if they will continue that after it officially opens? Because at night it is really cool and when most people will probably want to ride.
It is such a cool area. It’s just electric in there and the lights and bikes are going by. You didn't realize Tomorrowland needed this ride until it’s here.
There is a place to try out the bikes while you are in line. This should be closer to the entrance because where it is just makes for a lot of confusion and wasted time. We really needed to see if Ben would fit, he’s 6’6” and 280 lbs. He did fit! While I did see quite a few people with larger thighs not get it to close I do think most will be able to fit. Ben said if he had been 1” taller he would not have fit due to the length of his leg.
So the queue is really cool and dark and blue. The lockers are pretty easy to deal with, I would say walk towards the lockers in the back, most people stop at the first ones. We kept our phones out and took a picture of our locker number. They are double sided like velocicoaster and easily fit my loungefly. We could have probably put my loungefly, Ben's fancy pack, and Mollie's small bag in 1 locker.
Tip of the week: Don't believe the posted wait times at the end of the night. Slinky Dog was posted 60 minutes at 9pm (park closed at 9:30pm) and we only waited 10 minutes.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
