Disneyland has brought back the Walt-era popcorn boxes:
Of course these come back AFTER my visit. I want one.

Hope they are using modern day popcorn though...

Looks like a homeless guy who snuck in the park? Reminds me of Casanova Frankenstein from Mystery Men.
That’s pretty cool. Other than the fact that the stripes are not as close together and the box is teal instead of blue. Now all I want to know is if they ll fill up one of those with fresh popcorn instead of that stale stuff.

Random popcorn-related thought: Anyone else here remember those classic clear-wrapped stale bricks of sweetened pink popcorn that were always sold at circuses and ice shows? Does that item still exist? (I haven’t been to an arena show in ages).
(Update) According to a feature story:
1) The company went under recently
2) It was mainly a SF Bay Area thing
3) Mainly remembered by people over 60 (Sigh)

I agree. ROTR effects are cool but the ride is getting overrated
I haven’t even been on it nor seen a ride thru. Just putting 2 and 2 together. With that said I’m sure I’ll really enjoy ROTR.

It's a really solid ride. You'll enjoy it.

Now they need to bring back those Peter Pan hats with the ridiculously long feathers.

Not Disneyland related, but I just found out this was a thing:
I've been going through a lot of 90s Vegas videos and there is so much stuff that's now gone. Not just MGM Grand Adventures theme park, but the Wizard of Oz display with AAs, the Pirate show in front of Treasure Island (now just a mall in front of "TI"), the boat ride through Luxor and its cheesy simulator ride and 3D show. None of it compares to Disney, but I love how hard they tried and just the fun of it all. At least the Forum Shops still have its AA/water/fire show.
Now all the themed Vegas hotels are just "modern" and the focus is more on shopping than anything else.

I did that Luxor boat ride, hoping it was like Rio del Tiempo or Maelstrom. It wasn't.

Oh my gosh, what a Hot Mess the Luxor was when it first opened. I was invited to come and give them input when they realized what they ended up with, even before it opened. (The trilogy and boat ride)
And there wasn't much they could do to modify things without major surjery, which happened quickly due to the responses of the guests.

Just popping in to say that, while rewatching the D+ The Mandalorian , I think that this, condensed into a movie timespan, or something like it that also relied on essential storytelling based in emotion over spectacle, yet supported with just enough spectacle, is the way Disney should have approached their reboot of the film franchise. It feels far closer to Star Wars roots than those over-inflated attempts.
This small screen endeavor is far better than the Disney tentpole SW films.

You wanted a ride like the Mexico boat ride? I remember it being one of the worst ever, with cliff divers being projected on a screen and even a screen on the floor showing a scuba diver, culminating in a bizarre bootleg it's a small world scene. It smelled good though.

Close Encounters of a Special Effects Kind : Entertainment: At Luxor Las Vegas, Douglas Trumbull has created a cinema attraction that is the newest combination of theme park ride and motion picture wizardry.
When filmmaker Douglas Trumbull helped design the innovative special effects for such movies as "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," he had a sense that the filmmaking process was on the move.

I randomly saw a snippet of that on YouTube the other day while researching things to do in Las Vegas. - I read that the boat would take you to the elevators after you checked in which sounds like the best thing ever. I would love to have experienced that but sounds like I didn't miss much.
