    10:35am - We returned from our round trip Disney Skyliner flight, visited the ticket window to get our passes, went to guest relations to sort out a problem with our passes and now are ready to start our morning in the park.
    The Harmonious Barges had 50th anniversary graphics to the screens.

    On the far shore of World Showcase Lagoon you could see the line for Frozen. It was showing as over an hour already in the app and we were only 7 minutes into the early entry period.

    Looking across World Celebration the new dining location is moving along.

    Living with the Land does not open until 11am with the park.
    The Disney Genie service is available and Lightning Lanes have replaced FastPass+ return queues. I did not plan to pay for the service so I would not be using them this visit.
    Soarin' was nearing an hour when I reached the entrance. Which was longer than my patience so we skipped it and waited for Living to open (which turned out not to happen due to a problem).

    As we were leaving noticed the Awesome Planet movie was about to start so headed there as my first attraction of the visit.
    Decided to eat an early lunch since it was not crowded and we had no where to be. So this was my lunch view today.
