    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    And.... don't you just love Google? In the old days, car fires were probably easier to deal with in the Disneyland parking lot, out in the open as it was. This '56 Chevrolet is toast. What is that to the left? I'm thinking it's a 1960 or '61 Plymouth or Dodge station wagon? Those ugly early...

    That car fire today in the Pixar Pals structure is pretty dramatic, as car fires in full garages always tend to be. You can hear some tires popping, and it's reported the fire spread to multiple cars. I wonder, with such low clearances, what type of equipment does the Anaheim Fire Department...

    Come on in, the water's fine! 🤣 You'll be amazed at how much cheaper day-to-day life is going to be; it all adds up. Electricity is cheaper, gasoline is cheaper, natural gas is cheaper, groceries are cheaper, taxes are much lower, etc., etc. Also, people smile a lot more. And that's free...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Domestic box office is out for Thursday, showing the two new movies in Preview and how that's going to affect this weekend's box office for Snow White. Snow White was still in 4,200 theaters nationwide yesterday. Why?!? There's got to be a contractual obligation that Disney has with the theater...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    I was a very early adopter of Schitt's Creek during its first season on the otherwise obscure Pop! cable channel, solely because it had the great Catherine O'Hara in it. I remember trying to tell friends and family to watch this crazy funny Canadian show with a name you couldn't really say out...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Agreed. And the Disney stuff that has flopped hard the past few years in the US also flopped badly overseas. Similarly, the few big hits Disney (well, only Marvel really) had the past few years were also big hits overseas. When it comes to "Disney" entertainment, audiences aren't much...

    The Downtown Disney Thread

    The only time I went there for sports was for the US Open or maybe Wimbledon, usually when my nephews were younger and got bit by the family tennis bug. (We aren't a very talented family on the courts, but darnit if we don't look great while doing it!) But your point is valid, regardless of...

    The first of April is an important day for California, as it marks the end of winter storms and the outlook on how the state's massive system of reservoirs and snowpack looks for the upcoming growing season. And there's good news and bad news... 🧐 The good news for Disneyland's gardeners and...

    News New and returning entertainment coming to Disneyland Resort in Spring 2025

    It's almost as if the overseas parks are being run by an entirely different company. The notable shift with Disneyland entertainment since Governor Newsom allowed Disneyland to reopen in April, 2021 is tragic; abandoning the 2,000 seat theater in DCA even though that park is still obviously...

    The Downtown Disney Thread

    Pot roast sandwich, you say? This thread has convinced me to head down the hill tomorrow to my local Culver's for lunch. I'm still relatively new to Utah, and Culver's is still relatively new to Utah too, so I'm way behind the curve on this whole Wisconsin cuisine craze. I'm going to really...

    Yes to Braum's! I discovered them in the 1990's when work would take me to Oklahoma City often. One of the best ice cream parlor's I've ever been to, and great food and burgers too! I forgot how much I used to enjoy them, so thanks for the memory!

    I saw a bit a few years ago on America's Test Kitchen about "Wisconsin butter burgers" and I had no idea such a thing existed, but they looked ridiculously good. Then last year I heard that the couple of Culver's in and around my town were those exact same butter burgers from the great state of...

    I agree with @mickEblu... Turn the ESPNZone into a food court/hall with a Wendy's, a Chick-Fil-A, a Panda Express, a Chipotle, and a Blaze Pizza and that place would be packed to the rafters. And a Yogurtland! The other DTD restaurants would likely be furious, as they were lured into Downtown...

    You know, Wendy's makes a darn good fast food burger. I think it's the way they use whole leaf iceberg instead of shredded, and their great buns (Hey now!). Plus their shakes are good, and their fries aren't bad. They don't have a huge presence in SoCal, but they are there to an extent. I can...

    As I seem to remember, even when they look to be on "Disney property", it's actually an easement that Edison owns and allows Disney to operate on; like the old Lion King tram route, or the various backstage stuff they've crammed in there now. Surely they could be buried, but that would cost a...
