I somehow didn’t even consider buying the 3-day deal multiple times. That’s a great idea. I’ve got a MK right now, but the 3-day deal is probably a better value for me going forward (assuming Disney continues to offer it). One of my buddies made the switch this past year and it seems to have...

IMO the recurring 3-day SoCal local ticket is the way to go. I’m hoping they introduce another one Q1 2025. For non-locals, kind of seems like MKs just aren’t worth it anymore. I’d probably buy regular tickets.

Well that sucks.

The Italian Cypress trees are iconic. Please tell me they will return.

Partially obscured by trees is very different than partially obscured by a disproportionately large new building. This was already discussed.

I loved Splash at Disneyland, but the "How Do Ya Do?" section had some dead spaces that were a little too dark. Really hoping WDI tastefully implements these screens/projections to brighten up those spaces (or at least make them a little more interesting) on Disneyland's TBA. I'm not holding...

Have to admit, I actually think these bears are pretty cute. Their limited motion is super disappointing (they're not AAs; they're moving figures), but at Disneyland they might still read as "joyful and kinetic" as we speed past them at about 80mph. Well, I guess when I say "these bears are...

Oh, I was referring to other industries entirely (for example, Viking cruises, as TP2000 was discussing). Disney is still the leader in theme parks by all metrics. It makes their declining standards and soaring prices even more depressing, IMO. That said, in terms of customer service...

Replace Pooh with a Country Bears musical dark ride. Bulldoze the Fantasyland Theater and build a plussed-up Pooh dark ride in its place.

Me too. The “They can play!” dialogue should feel less asinine at Disneyland, where the logs speed past the show scenes. Too bad WDI can’t do anything at this point about the lift hill, where Charita’s team apparently shrugged and gave up. “Good enough. If we leave now, we can be home by 6.”...

I’ve gotten either Pat Benatar or Parliament on every ride, aside from the one time I got Jackson 5. I’ve seen people request certain elevators, so I started to wonder if there’s a correlation. Seems like Parliament is the tamest drop profile (of these three) and Jackson 5 the most thrilling...

Is it true that certain Mission: BO elevators reliably play certain songs? Or does every elevator have an equal likelihood of playing Jackson 5?

Hey, it’s the kind of thing a dork like me notices. I still remember watching Monsters Inc. years ago and shouting at the tv, “Is that a Sailing Ship Columbia poster in this kid’s bedroom!?!” You can imagine my then-girlfriend’s reaction.

Hallelujah, mickEblu can play!

Have you ever been tasked with booking a band for a party? Did you find that experience to be an “adventure”? If so, boy have I got the log flume for you.

My sense is that 2024 WDI is a bunch of dorks who probably would need the dirtiness of their own creation explained to them.

In reality, this multinational media conglomerate continually reduces offerings while raising prices.

"I don't design an attraction for your twentieth ride, I design it for your first ride, since most guests don't notice the details and only ride once and let's be honest who really cares." - Tony Baxter

Guests will notice when they think to themselves, "This looks like a mini-golf hole. Hmmm, maybe I should've just taken the family mini-golfing today. Would've been a whole lot cheaper."

The environmental initiative is not ironclad; they clearly make exceptions for spaces they deem thematically significant. WDI should’ve fought for this tiny patch of grass in front of HM. I can’t make excuses for WDI or Disney when they endlessly degrade their product.
