    First timer thoughts from Hong Kong Disneyland

    I’ve been asked about what we thought of HKDL so thought I shouldn’t clutter the other thread. We just came back from our first visit with 6 days in the park, staying at the HKDL Hotel. I guess I should post a disclaimer that our research paid off and it was relatively quiet aside from weekend...

    Avengers: Power the Night video

    We were really taken with this show. Something they didn’t have to do, for no extra charge, in low season. It was strange to purposely head for the studios park after dark for a show.

    New Years Party 22-3

    For the first time since the end of 2019, DLP is holding its New Years Eve ticketed party this week. The park only holds a few separate admission nights per year and the entertainment on offer sounds very good (WDSP is also open for general admission until 0030) I’m sure there will be plenty...

    DLP trip report June 2022

    Still suffering from long covid, and with my bosses blessings, we spent 4 nights 5 days at DLP recently. We approached with some uncertainty in how we would physically cope but I’m glad to say we managed it, albeit slower than normal and with a lot more rests. And as Michelle put it we don’t...

    Tower of Terror - a NEW Dimension of Chills

    In late 2019 WDSP Tower of Terror had a makeover, a plussing, and 3 new stories taking the original backstory further. With the Covid lockdowns it got lost in the mess but now I’ve been back enough times (!) to make the video I wanted to. With some help since I didn’t break the no photography rules.

    Fireworks return to DLP

    First fireworks show since before Covid. A curious mix of old and new display techniques showing what happens when Halloween, Guy Fawkes and a dance party collide. Also showing on the 4th and 9th.

    An absolutely fantastic read that should be mandatory for all of us

    Passport to Dreams has penned a lengthy and quite amazing look at the state of the company in Orlando as it is today. Not everyone will agree with everything but it hits so many nails on the head. This should be required reading to better understand in many ways why we are where we are...

    News Tomorrowland love

    I'm very happy to mention this. It seems Tomorrowland has a new boss. And this person cares. Basically if it is meant to work, there is now a push to have it work again. Notice again the spinning blue lights above SGE and TLF? The Lno2 and lasers in SGE? Even the choc chip cookies and...
