    No! I Don't Want to be on YouTube!

    Actually, being one of those vloggers, I have to laugh at the number of times people have reacted thinking they were on camera when they weren't. Quite amusing when people think you're videoing when you're actually in "selfie" mode in which case most of what is in the screen is the vlogger and...

    The Halloween/Christmas parties throw off attendance levels for 1/3rd of the year now

    that was one thing we noticed when we went to Not So Scary last year: the park was far busier with a lot more people during the party than it was during the day time. Way back when I worked there they didn't sell that many party tickets, limiting the numbers so that it was more enjoyable...

    How much would you pay?

    Seeing as this is in the Disneyland forum, no. :p I much prefer the MaxPass system to the Fastpass+ they have at WDW, and hope that they don't go that route. But I can also see how they could tweak fastpass at Disneyland some to both bring in more money and make it work better. I'm not sure...

    News WDW Food and Beverage Price Increases 10/1/2019

    I hope that you never experience some of the things I've seen with people I've had to help through our church and other ministries. I've seen far to many lose jobs, homes and property through no fault of their own and then not be able to get back on their feet again. Things that weren't their...

    Autism lawsuit court date set Feb 2020

    Very interesting reading on the whole thing. We have an autism strand running in my wife's family. Her niece is autistic, a cousin, we think her father may have been on the spectrum in some ways (he passed a few years back) and we're suspicious that her brother and very likely my daughter is...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    But at least the box looked like something that fit in with the park instead of just a box. It made sense to have "studio buildings" at a movie studio rather than just a giant blue or green box. It's a bit sad to see how many of these are now popping up in the parks seemingly without much...

    2021 Will Be Telling

    You were there at the same time I was? At least for a couple of days. Wished I'd known. It would have been nice to meet you- even if just a brief Hello.

    What's with the wait times!? (hint.. they're low)

    Not if it's a much shorter line and a much faster wait than the standby line. There's nothing wrong with fastpass being held in a line if it's comparably much shorter than the stand by. There is a problem when the stand by doesn't move at all because the vast majority of the ones being allowed...

    2021 Will Be Telling

    That's actually a bit frightening. I wouldn't have wanted to be in the parks with the crowds any heavier than they were. Friday night in particular was not pleasant, and we were extremely grateful that we had made dinner and Fantasmic reservations or we likely wouldn't have stayed. And we...

    Concerns about the Matterhorn...

    as of last Sunday it was still just one track. It was pretty obvious where the patch had fallen on the other and it didn't look like there was any work going on. Not expecting it to be open anytime soon.

    Galaxy's Edge vs. Pandora....

    All that is an indication of is that Falcon doesn't have Fastpass slowing down it's stand by line to 3-4 times what it should be in wait time.

    What's with the wait times!? (hint.. they're low)

    You have access to the actual attendance numbers? I'd love to know what those were compared to "normal"

    Halloween World Of Colour - Villainous! (Oogie Boogie Bash)

    We thought it worked pretty well. Really enjoyed the show overall. The story made sense from an "Oogie Boogie tells a bedtime story" perspective. Several moments gave a good laugh and it did well in tying everything together. Definitely go see the second show though. Much lighter crowds...

    There might be no escaping a Six Flags and Cedar Fair merger - OCR/SCNG

    You've obviously never visited Cedar Point or Worlds of Fun. :-) Same issues- just as young. I had a 15 year old running Mamba last year when I was riding.

    There might be no escaping a Six Flags and Cedar Fair merger - OCR/SCNG

    never a possibility. Knott's property isn't big enough to host a Disney park. It's a neat idea in theory, but then reality hits... I also don't see Disney preserving the heritage at Knott's like CF has worked so hard to do the last several years. It's been neat to see it come back closer to...

    Concerns about the Matterhorn...

    We were grateful that we took a ride on it this last trip. But wow is it a rough ride now. Not unbearable by any means, but nowhere near as smooth or enjoyable as it used to be. But then when you remember that it's the oldest tubular steel roller coaster in existence, and realize how many...

    What's with the wait times!? (hint.. they're low)

    The parks were certainly not slow during our visit. We were there Tuesday Oct 1 through Sunday Oct 6. The Tuesday was the lightest day and it wasn't all that light. We met up with a couple of friends one day who are passholders and they were honestly shocked at the parks being crowded- busier...

    2021 Will Be Telling

    Just got back from our week at Disneyland. Contrary to what you read on the web, the parks were absolutely not hurting for attendance. We were with one passholder during the week and they commented that they were shocked how busy the parks were for an October weekday, because there were a lot...

    Galaxy's Edge vs. Pandora....

    Finally got to experience Star Wars Galaxy's Edge this last week after visiting Pandora several times in the last year and a half. So finally feel like I can make a comparison. And for me at least, it's pretty easy to decide. SWGE is a much better overall land than Pandora. And especially...

    News PhotoPass at some character locations being replaced by automated cameras

    This seems to be the indication I'm getting from my photo pass friends as well. I can't find any confirmation that the boxes are getting removed
