    News Disneyland Cancels Its Annual Pass Program - Theme Park Insider & OC Register

    My AP eyebrow raising moment came from an instance I observed while riding the DLRR. This toddler was being fussy for some undefined reason, and an older lady sitting nearby said to the child in a sweetly grandmotherly tone, "Child, you shouldn't be acting like that in such a wonderful place...

    News Disneyland cancels Annual Pass program

    How to sell less for more? Speaking as an out of state person, when I had an active AP, I would try to take about two to three five to eight day trips to the park per year. When you factor in the airfare, transportation, hotel accommodations, and food, it wasn't exactly inexpensive. If I could...

    News Disneyland cancels Annual Pass program

    One trend that I have observed over the past few years is that when Disney wants to implement a possibly unpopular policy, it will piggyback its announcement with something else to blunt the impact. For example, the stroller restrictions were accompanied by the general anticipation of Star Wars...

    So Disney becomes Costco? I'll take a couple $1.50 hot dogs.

    News Disneyland Cancels Its Annual Pass Program - Theme Park Insider & OC Register

    I have to admit that potentially seeing a lethal blow to the local "treat the park like a mall hang-out" mentality is fine with me. There won't be any tears shed if the likes of Fresh Baked and Justin Scarred can only go to the parks as often as the rest of us non-locals. On the other hand, you...

    There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth at Fresh Baked and many other vloggers today.

    If my memory is correct, Curly Joe says something like "No! Not Disneyland!". Give Joe DeRita the Disney Legend award!

    Worst Disney Attractions? (Current & Otherwise)

    Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters - I went on this attraction once shortly after it opened in 2005 - never again. I'm surprised that this charmless waste of time is still around 15 years later and that it is actually held in high regard by some. If Ed Wood had been an imagineer, I imagine that this...

    There's a similar scene in The Three Stooges in Orbit where the stooges fly over Disneyland.

    News Disneyland to give Snow White’s Scary Adventures dark ride a major facelift in 2020

    Maybe we can bargain with Ms. Irvine? Here's my proposition - you can have the Barbie pink exterior with Snow White's dungeon bedroom if you restore access to the Court of the Angels for us plebians. Remove the Johnny Depps and Geoffrey Rush (reinstate the Paul Frees voiced captain) from POTC...

    News Disneyland to give Snow White’s Scary Adventures dark ride a major facelift in 2020

    If Walt didn't mind his young daughter Diane being freaked out by the film version, then we shouldn't mind young children being freaked out by the attraction. #WeNeedMoreEvilQueen

    News Disneyland to give Snow White’s Scary Adventures dark ride a major facelift in 2020

    Some of it looks good and decent, but I hate the removal/alteration of the Queen's Dungeon. Walt Disney knew that you always needed a balance of shadows and light to make an effective product and have the eventual triumph of good over evil emotionally and intellectually satisfying. That's why...

    Haunted Mansion vs Pirates of the Caribbean

    If I were the dictator of the world, people who treat the HM like The Rocky Horror Picture Show would be indefinitely consigned to the gulags.

    Disneyland expected to be closed through end Q1 2021.

    Think of it in Bela Lugosi's voice: Listen to them. Sleazy rodents of the evening. What music they make.

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

    Tony Anselmo, the official voice of Donald Duck, didn't get the gig for the Roadster Racers series. Likewise for Bret Iwan, the official voice of Mickey Mouse, on the Paul Rudish series.

    New ‘Haunted Mansion’ Movie in the Works

    To do the HM justice, it absolutely has to be a comedy or at the very least darkly comedic, but I agree that they should steer clear of the "comedian in the haunted house" film genre. While it's been done well in the past (like the Bob Hope films The Ghost Breakers and The Cat and the Canary)...
