Does anyone want to talk about this topic? I'm not sure if we have any regular posters here who are handicapped and who have used the DAS program in the past to bypass waiting in lines, but I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of legitimately disabled people who have used DAS at Disneyland in...

From the "It's Not Just Us That Feels This Way" file comes this new article from the Washington Post. Being in the Washington Post, it's aimed at Walt Disney World and interviews a lot of East Coasters talking solely about WDW. But the concepts and issues translate directly to Disneyland...

TDA has simply got to figure out how to prevent this! Three suicides in less than a year, and quite a few previous suicides off of this structure in the past decade. What's the fix? Metal screening? I really feel badly for the CM's working in the parking structure who have to deal with this...

Well, this would make things more interesting in the SoCal theme park environment. I can't think of another US metro area that has both a Cedar Fair property (Knott's Berry Farm) and a Six Flags property (Magic Mountain), can you...

How is it that I'm hundreds of miles from OC but no one else in SoCal caught this? But then my second thought was... Is that new Fantasyland ride ops uniforms? Olive green skinny jeans and a plain white blouse without any embroidery or detailing on either slacks or blouse? Huh? 🫤...

After being a rumor for some time, this seems to be a real news story suddenly today, covered by several reputable financial/media sources. What would selling off the ABC-TV network mean for Disney short-term and long-term...

I was thinking about this after the underwhelming Destination D23 presentations this weekend, where Josh D'Amaro and a gaggle of Imagineers rolled out a word-salad of corporate buzzwords that only amount to a list of deferred maintenance items for WDW and DLR. Josh N' Friends also offered up...

I was out to dinner tonight with friends, and in the restaurant's cocktail lounge all the TV's tuned to San Diego news stations and the barstool chatter were all about Hurricane Hilary being the first tropical storm to hit Southern California since 1939. You don't say? :oops: Here's a thread...

Here's a thread for the two big Hollywood strikes; Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA (Actors and Actresses). As these strikes look like they're going to drag on for months, we can discuss the impact on Disney and its various flagship media groups here. Latest news from Variety today is...

It just hit me what tomorrow's date is. I am missing our old friend @Darkbeer, who could explain like no other person on earth how Disneyland's real anniversary is July 18th, but let's just go with the 17th for this one. Happy 68th Birthday Disneyland 🥳

We've got a good mix of SoCal locals, Western US Disneyland fans, and North American Disneyland fans here, who do their Disneyland visits differently yet equally as passionately. So I pose this question... Would your Disneyland visit be enhanced/extended by a 2.5 hour high speed rail link to Las...

So what's the deal with this? https://www.ocregister.com/2023/04/20/disneyland-computer-crash-traps-massive-crowds-outside-front-gates-in-crazy-scene/ A massive computer system crash brought Disneyland and Disney California Adventure to a grinding halt with visitors unable to enter the front...

Driving home a few days ago, I stopped at my favorite Caesars Palace bar and then restaurant for a pit stop. While in the bar before being seated for dinner, a couple nearby was telling the bartender how silly SoCal can be in inclement weather. They had several examples, but one of them was "all...

Catching up on local news, and.... What the heck is this about? Is this just the once-good OC Register falling into the crap trap of most modern "journalism", or is this a real problem now? Like fights and and brawls and screaming matches are happening regularly now in Disneyland? And even if...

Now that Covid is over and things are back to normal I thought it would be interesting to see where things stand on the Ride Count between WDW and DLR, after the last few years of delayed projects finally opening. After all, we are only here and this website only exists because these are theme...

Apparently they've got a rat problem at Disneyland. Not surprised. Guide 2, after a semi-exhaustive and Nightcap fueled Google search, appears to be the souvenir stand over on the west side of the train station, right next to the Guided Tour Gardens. Which must explain its rather utilitarian...

I just saw this article from this past weekend in the OC Register. In short, Wells Fargo analysts have stated the "wheels have come off" Disney's faltering stock due partly to lower theme park revenues. While Cedar Fair seems to be doing better business, and Universal's theme park biz is "red...

Have I mentioned how much I dislike the Kardashian family and all that they stand for? Here's Example #482 of that... https://www.ocregister.com/2022/04/15/kardashians-ride-disneyland-attractions-by-themselves-as-furious-fans-wait/ The Kardashians made headlines during a recent trip to...

Gas in California is now averaging $5.88 per gallon for 87 octane regular. This is the highest gas price in the nation, even higher than Hawaii. As a point of reference, even after the price hikes of the last three or four months, gas in Texas is currently averaging $3.85 per gallon. At what...

We've all been through a lot over the past 18 months. It's been an emotional roller coaster for everyone, and things still aren't looking too bright right now as we look toward 2022; inflation, gas prices, supply chain woes, Britney's post-conservatorship career, etc. So it is with a heavy...
