    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    Never understood why they need a scrim there. Is it to make the figures seem more "ghostly" or is it functional? Was there always a scrim there going back to '69?

    Avengers Campus: E-Watch! (Waiting on the new ride)

    Yep it's TDS Peter Pan ride system.

    Wreck-It Ralph Attraction Coming to TDL in 2026

    Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters last day is October 31, 2024. A limited edition version of the attraction will take place until Sep. 18 which will make it easier to score higher. Commemorative merch and food is also coming starting in September...

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    I love HMH, contrary to most on here, but no doubt it stays for way too long every year. Running a Christmas attraction in July is freakin' insane.

    Miscellaneous Tokyo Thoughts

    Some photos of how dead the parks are today. The parks have been relatively less crowded on weekends lately, probably a result of flex pricing making weekends the most expensive days. It's also been extremely hot the past couple weeks, so that could be part of it.

    News New Space Mountain Coming to Tokyo Disneyland in 2027

    Sharp-eyed person on Twitter noticed that old Space Mountain has already been erased out of this Coke ad.

    News New Space Mountain Coming to Tokyo Disneyland in 2027

    PR video posted by OLC after the opening day Space Mountain closed permanently tonight. Kind of crazy that this is going to take a whole three years to open when it already looks decently far along in construction.

    News New Space Mountain Coming to Tokyo Disneyland in 2027

    A cute send off from Space Mountain CMs today. The wait time of 39 can be read in Japanese as "san-kyuu", an alliteration of "thank you".

    How long will Fantasy Springs stay on a reservation system?

    I don't think it's quite as bad as you're hearing, as long as you get there early. I went a few weeks ago and was able to ride all three attractions pretty easily with just a normal 1-day ticket. Got there two hours before park opening (the park always opens earlier than posted open) Check...

    How long will Fantasy Springs stay on a reservation system?

    The general public can visit now. You just need to get there early enough to reserve standby pass and/or Premier Access. No one knows how long the system will last. Could be years. For comparison, I believe Super Nintendo World at USJ is still doing a standby pass system over 3 years since opening.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    TDR local since 2020. I would take a day at TDL over TDS any day of the week. And I would (probably) take a day at Magic Kingdom over a day at TDL. Grass is always greener!

    Hall of Presidents Update 2025

    Wouldn't shock me if they nix the incumbent President speaking in the near future.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    I think it's fair to say TDS is the best second-gate Disney park in the world, when rating the park holistically. I would certainly take it over DCA. But I probably still would not put any TDS attractions in my top 5 attractions ever. Maybe Indy since it's a slightly better version of the CA...

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    Kind of a snooze without more physical elements, IMO. It's much like Universal's Spider-Man except with less immersive physical environments, and with more focus on flying which makes it feel simulator-ish. While Spider-Man is mostly screen based, it still has pretty well built out physical...

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    I've been to TDS nine times over six years. I always finished by 5:00 PM or earlier, unless I was specifically staying for Fantasmic/Believe. Granted yes I'm experienced with these parks and yes in some cases I was skipping Soaring and Midway Mania. But it really was not that difficult to...

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    I mean, cool. I appreciate theming too and theme is definitely one of TDS's strong suits. But you need attractions to make a park worth going to. Attractions are what the parks are ultimately built around, what draws people to them and what makes people stay. And TDS didn't have enough (and it...

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    I always struggled to fill an open-close day there. TDS has always struggled with a relative lack of attractions. With FS and Believe, I think it's finally now a true open to close park, or if not then at least it's very close.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    I was able to experience Fantasy Springs today, went in spoiler free. Overall I give the land itself an 8/10 and the attractions collectively a 6/10. Frozen was the only ride that I thought was all around solid. The environments suffer a bit from the open warehouse-y feel that a lot of WDI...

    D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event—Coming to Anaheim Next August

    Too niche to replace an iconic E-ticket in a castle park.

    D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event—Coming to Anaheim Next August

    Disney owns Kingdom Hearts 100%. They don't need Square's permission to do anything with that IP. But KH is too niche otaku to get a full E-ticket attraction I think, even in Japan (Tokyo Disneyland hotel did get a KH room overlay a few years back).
