Very good! So close.
Botanists are very science-y- they study all plants and they focus on research, the lab type.
Arborists and horticulturists are more applied science- hands on, planting and cultivating. In the gardens instead of the laboratory. Arborists focus on trees and shrubs. Horticulturists focus on edible and ornamental plants.

Rise was terrific! We got the front row on the ride vehicle. Literally no wait.
A couple was seated behind us on MFSR.

After looking at your picture from this morning I was only about 20 people behind you in the same line.

We were on the train to Rafiki’s once (pre-Covid) and a wheel fell off. It was a jarring stop. They evacuated all of us and we walked out backstage on a service road. We all got free bottles of water. My girls were hoping for free Mickey bars but nope.

How did they start operating HS rides at 8:22a for a 10am open. Did I miss an update to the operating hours somewhere?

Welcome to the forum! The official park hours are found here.
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/park-calendars/month/
Lately, the pattern has been that boilerplate hours are first posted and then about 3 weeks or so out, they are extended (usually on a Friday) one week at a time. As of now, hours have been updated through 3/20, while 3/21 and beyond are still on the default.

We actually thought it was more like an adventure and have laughed about it with our girls for years
Everyone was in good spirits about it and one fellow train rider was trying to get everyone to sing songs about railroads while we were all tromping back to the park. So maybe authentic lol.

Interesting. In December, they were not mixing parties at all on MFSR.

Yes. Never guaranteed, but a near certainty to continue 9am openings at least through Spring Break and Easter based on what we’ve seen.
