    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    Which is what we do here. Do I think Disney should get a pass for poorly kept up animatronics or attractions? Never. But I still stand by that the non-message board fan isn't going to notice or probably care.

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    Well, that's exactly the point. Do you think things were perfect 100% of the time when Walt was around or that every TV show went off without an error? We're debating about one animatronic on a video when rides had issues all the time when Walt was alive (and since) that had much more impact...

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    Not really coming in hot. I used to be one of those people that walked around the park looking for chipped paint, lightbulbs burned out, etc. Putting everything under a microscope ruined the experience for me. This Tiana thing, while apparently not perfect, is not ruining the experience for...

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    What is actually broken. I watched the video, the mouth and eyes were moving. I've ridden it once, don't recall if she is supposed to do anything more. But again, the viewers that are commenting are likely more hardcore fans. The average fan isn't going to have a clue what is and isn't working.

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    Yes, everything should be working. But man, how many people outside of hardcore fans are going to notice? Very few. And I really can't believe that anyone's viewing would be destroyed by this.

    Happy 70th Birthday Disneyland!

    I won't be going to the parks today but I will be going to Trader Sam's at the DL hotel for a drink tonight 😂

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    I don't think it's a matter of checking content. It's been this way for a while if I remember correctly. Not sure if it's been fixed since. That being said, I'm not sure I'll ever watch it again because that animatronic isn't operating properly.

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    Checked out for a few months and decided to check back in here for the 70th...lol. Just about what I expected. As for Walt, I really don't have an issue with it. Disney hardcores are likely the only ones that will take up 44 pages on a board debating/complaining about it. It looks like him...

    Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain vs Indiana Jones Adventure

    Having ridden both (everest a couple of times, Indy multiple), I'd chose Indy by a mile. That being said, hard to compare them as they are very different experiences.

    Disneyland 70th Anniversary Thread - Wishlist, Rumors, Speculation, Announcements

    They just announced a new commemorative book for the 70th so at least that's one thing that will make me happy as a parks book collector.

    Return to Disneyland After 13 Years Away.

    Great to hear you enjoyed your visit and great pics. I think that a lot of the magic gets lost on people that visit too frequently though some may find it hard to admit given it can become a bit of an addiction. Yours is the perfect example of absence allowing the heart to grow fonder, where...

    The Merch Alert Thread

    No. Just walk up to the outside window or sit at the outside bar and order there. That's where we got the ones I picked up for friends out of state. I would go very soon as they are getting low on stock, may only last the next day or two.

    Where's Darkbeer1?

    Very sorry to hear this. Rest in Peace David. 😭

    The Merch Alert Thread

    It's always a cluster at 6am. You just have to keep trying, folks were refreshing at 8am and still getting pickup times. I don't do the mobile order anymore, I just go when they are on sale at the bar. Disney generally releases around 5000 mugs each time but this time they only did just over...
