I was fortunate enough to see Disneyland in the late 60s. It's the place that captivated me. But if you look back at it through the today's eyes, more than a few fans would call it cheap looking.

They could have announced the current removal of the Tomorrowland french fry rocks and at least been instant heroes.

Well good to know. The MF ride wasn't all that appealing to me. I'll wait until phase 2.

SOAR = Save Our Anaheim Resort. Or at least it used to exist a decade ago.

I'm not sure who they are really trying to run off here. The family of 4 who want to spend a few days in the summer? Seems like it with the $199 park hopper ticket per day. The AP price increases won't cause enough eyes to blink. Seems like they are telling me to go somewhere else while the...

You can also point to the fact that before AT&T park was built, that area was nothing more than run down and industrial. That park transformed the area. Real estate development in the surrounding neighborhood boomed and suddenly it was a cool place for the burgeoning tech industry to locate...

I'm not sure you actually read what Darkbeer wrote. The city came up with the idea to create additional revenue to their coffers. They weren't doing this to appease Disney.

Well Disney metal detector folks stopped me because I forgot I had one of those Fuel Rod battery chargers in my pocket a few weeks back. Not so superficial in my case. And it seemed like every time I waited at bag check they were digging down deep in every bag for the people in front of me. I...

Same here. Wife and I enjoyed Solo. I think a lot of people just hated the idea that they made this movie and weren't going to be objective about it.

My feelings on the studio as a theme is that it goes against what makes Disney special. The magic is in the story telling and making you believe you are in another time and place. The studio theme is less about the movie magic and more about showing you what it takes to make movies. It's...

I wouldn't get to excited about this one either way. Appears they are doing a lot of overlay for the existing WDSP attractions like the stunt show, RNRC and Armageddon effects show. None of which is in DCA. I would consider this a Paris only design.

Tokyo Disneyland should not be rated that high. It's super clean and well maintained. But the overuse of colored slurry seal in red, green and grey for the for the ground paving looks really cheap. The covered Main Street probably the worst of all the Magic Kingdom parks.

I thought the same about the Fairfield Inn back about 15 years ago when it was newer. So I booked there. I wish I hadn't. The beds were terrible and the rooms were not nice at all. It's basically a Motel 6 with a lot of floors. The place has not gotten any better.

I just can't see it being practical for a people mover or any other kind of mover. In the park where guests are queued up it works with a rotating platform allowing people to settle into their vehicle. But try and watch a family load up with wheelchairs, strollers and packs on the trams you'll...

I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort language that states that a parking garage project is submitted to the city for approval would satisfy the requirement. Of course the skeptic in me might think they submitted a project that they knew would be objected to and that they were ok with...

The smoke from the cabin is coming out the chimney. The cabin does not appear to be burning.

And right on cue: I noticed they have a "road" up behind the indian village area.

It's going to be interesting how dedicated they get to the immersive approach. Imagine a land where the rides have no signage or wait times displayed. Will the carts have goods and pricing listed? Will the restrooms have signs or symbols? Will the food service have order here and pickup here...

I'm still a little unclear what benefit the mayor and council see in delaying this project? The city wants to see the foot traffic vastly reduced on Harbor in order to help the traffic flow better around the resort as a whole. The city can't really agree with the few Harbor hotels and eateries...

Some good water pictures in the Fresh Baked update:
