Disney definitely have the money- it’s how Bob chooses to sign off allocated budgets.

Splash is a retheme, not sure they will do a maintenance before then unless it really needs it. It took nearly two years to turn Maelstrom into frozen, I’d expect a considerable time to turn it into princess and the frog. I can’t see them doing it until the 50th anniversary is over

Booked for January ( 4th rebook since March 20) so disappointed as Everest is my favourite ride 😰😰😰😰😨😨😨

The Yeti does look good but how quick you see him on the coaster doesn’t really need for the ride to be out of action for 6 months+.
Still love this song

Yep, best ride in AK - especially after dark - and we are (hopefully) booked for February.

Yeti is not being looked at it's not fixable unless they dismantle the mountain.
Apparently it hasn't had a big track maintenance for some time so will just be an overhaul of the track and switching mechanism and general refurb

I've not told the kids this yet, its our favourite ride to do as a family and they'll be gutted. We are 30th March to 12th April so will miss it.

A friend of a mates brother in law told me that LL queue payments is the yeti fund.
