I was listening to this week’s episode. Before Tusker House opened we went to a character meal at, I think, Restaurantosaurus. It was only open for breakfast and then the restaurant converted to a QS McDonald’s?

Googling, the character meal breakfast ended in 2007 and moved to Tusker House. Apparently McDonald’s was the sponsor thru 2008. I remember grabbing a burger there for lunch, but don’t recall it being a McDonald’s so I’m not sure if we missed the '08 date or I’m just getting forgetful…Probably the latter…

I always hand wash, never put them in the dishwasher even one time.
I’ve got the McDonald’s 25th anniversary glasses as well, but one of them in the set is super cloudy because my brother always ran it through the dishwasher.

I know it’s been mentioned on the show before. Does anyone remember how many weeks or hours a new ride needs to test continuously before it passes inspection to open?

Here’s the article Len wrote:
Reliability testing, also known as “duty cycle testing” or “burn-in” testing, involves running a ride continuously through many typical operating days. And this is important because once TRON opens, it’s supposed to run reliably, day-in, day-out, for weeks on end.
Ride reliability testing for EPCOT’s Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure began around the third week of May, 2022, and Remy opened on October 1, 2022 for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary – a little over four months after duty testing began. To be clear, the Remy ride was ready for guests way, way before October 1 – Disney purposely didn’t open the ride earlier because it wanted to use Remy as part of the 50th Anniversary marketing campaign. And that shows that Disney’s willing to delay open a ride up to four months, just for marketing purposes. That’s important for TRON.
Ride reliability testing began at EPCOT’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in mid-March, 2022, as far as I can tell, and Guardians opened about 10 ½ weeks later, on May 27, 2022. Ride reliability testing has not started for TRON. So even if TRON started reliability testing today, the earliest it could open is November 10, 2022. And Disney’s still a long ways away from even beginning this testing. The good news here is that because TRON Lightcycle / Run is visible all around Tomorrowland, it’ll be obvious when this phase of ride construction has started.
So maybe 10 weeks?

Oh. Well if I had a frontline CM friend, maybe she (or they) could ask a more senior CM

Keep asking.
Or, just ask people who know - in an internet forum.
We are usually more informed than CMs anywhere, frontline or otherwise!

You could always ask a bus driver - they seem to know everything.
