    Ever look at the Disneyland subreddit? It's practically dogma over there that CMs must never be held responsible for poor behavior, no matter what. Blame low pay, oppressive work schedules, rude guests -- but never the CM. It's such a bizarre aspect of the "fandom." Again, most CMs are...

    You are not alone. As you’ve observed, there are still countless fantastic CMs — but overall CM standards have taken a dive in recent years (post-Covid, IMO). My wife and I are the most low-key, innocuous Disneyland guests imaginable, and we’ve been barked at by aggressive CMs more times than...

    Ah yes, Hotel Mel! Sure, Tower of Terror is one of the greatest attractions of all time, but part of me wishes we could’ve seen a Mel Brooks attraction in a Disney park.

    RIP Teri Garr! I just rewatched After Hours a few nights ago and was chatting with a friend about how Garr was in so many 70s/80s classics. What was her connection to Disney?

    This is a real phenomenon. Disneyland has guests who know what’s up, on account of it being such a locals park. Orlando tourists sometimes need more hand-holding.

    Thank you! I’ll make a point to pay attention to these details when I get a chance to ride.

    On the topic of restrooms (on which I apparently have a lot of thoughts...) Took a photo of this ad for the Emporium within the Plaza Inn restroom. Very interesting Imagineering choice. BTW I'm not a creep, I swear; there was no one else in the restroom when I took the photo. Also noticed...

    We have had very different experiences then, haha. I feel like I always end up waiting in line for a urinal at the Space restroom. Rancho del Zocalo is indeed small but (in my experience) during the mornings and late evenings it's typically pretty empty. Not a lot of traffic in that beautiful...

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

    Hold on, this is breaking news for me. Louis forgot to book the band? Okay, I mean, I guess that explains why Tiana is relegated to searching the bayou for critter musicians despite, you know, throwing a party in New Orleans. Fine. I'm okay with this MacGuffin, then. So where is this...

    Probably a dumb question, but do people get/buy these ponchos within Disneyland? My teenage self would hate me, but at age 34 I don't think I can deal with wet clothes and would rather look like a dork in a poncho.

    Agreed, it's a boring coaster. Almost entirely right turns! I grew up with MK's version and had a real "Are you kidding; that's it??" reaction to Disneyland's after my first ride. Over time however I've realized Disneyland's is more of a sensory experience than a roller coaster (thanks to...

    A glitchy, poorly-positioned screen. One of the most laziest Splash/TBA replacements. Let's remember Tony Baxter's line (often used while discussing Fantasyland 1983) about how if you're going to replace something at the parks, the replacement has to add value on top of what was there before.

    It makes me worry about most of WDI's upcoming projects, Avengers included. Avatar will be well-funded and a flagship attraction, but what kind of budget and creative decisions should we expect for, say, the Coco boat ride? "These skeletons can play!"??
