    Oh that's AWESOME! I'm so glad it will be open!! It was closed during our August trip last year.

    Haunted Mansion Christmas Overlay Dates?

    I've been checking the park schedule on the DL website as well, and haven't seen the closure listed. Also, I've gone to the Haunted Mansion attraction page on the website, and it currently says it is open during our trip dates (Aug 22-26).

    Damage Control PR Spin for Star Wars Begins

    I agree, it was fun to watch the prequels (although they were BAD). To groan at the horribly stiff "romantic" parts. To roll your eyes at Jar Jar Binks, etc. Fun to hate watch. But then fast forward many years and I'm watching the Phantom Menace with my daughter (who was 7 at the time) and...

    News Disneyland offers $99 summer parkhopper ticket deals to annual passholders - OCRegister

    I would hope that some bean counter at TDA already had data on how many park attendees are APs versus vacationers, and that data drove some of the AP blockout decisions they made prior to this. Because to learn how much of your business is driven by APs only when you've blocked them out seems...

    Angels tell Anaheim they're opting out of their lease on Angel Stadium

    Interesting that he said that so directly.

    Disneyland New "Flex" Annual Pass

    That would make it hard to plan a Friday-Sun trip in advance and know before you get there that you can get into the parks all three days. On another note, it feels like this pass is designed to encourage grandfathered/renewal only So Cal passholders to migrate to the Flex pass.

    News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

    They screwed up ours--gave us a time window before we even arrive on site for only half our party (who knows what the other half will do). I'm going to guess that there will be some additional emails from Disney forthcoming...

    Disneyland VIP Tours and Galaxy Edge

    I've done a VIP tour. We have set up another one for the weekend we are planning to go in June--specifically because of the opening of Galaxy's Edge. We don't know if the tour will include access to Galaxy's Edge or not (they are waiting to find out), but we assume the parks are going to be...

    News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

    I know a little something about construction projects, and I can totally see how this can happen. I've encountered a lot of bad design/plans lately, and it seems like a a lot of errors fall to the contractor to catch once construction starts (which frequently is too late and costs time and...

    Galaxy's Edge (Disneyland) Entry News

    I am really curious to see how they will be assigning reservation windows to hotel guests. There are so many logistical variables to account for: You may be staying at the hotel for 3 days/2 nights (like Friday, Saturday, Sunday), but what if you are arriving at 7PM Friday and leaving 9AM...

    PERMITS

    I wonder if this is why it is taking so long to open this restaurant? I wonder if this is replacing an existing one that they thought they could use, or if this is replacement of a new one that was installed and failed?

    The Neighbor Lady and TP2000 Walk Into a Bar...

    This made me laugh, because at Christmas, my sister and I had a whole argument about straining the vinegar mixture before putting in a blender (we used Tyler Florence's recipe, which doesn't say to strain it). She won, and this confirms it.

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    Disney Parks Blog just had a preview of Ant Man and the Wasp for HKDL (https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2019/01/ant-man-and-the-wasp-nano-battle-opens-march-31-at-hong-kong-disneyland/). I'm guessing the Spider Man ride will be similar, but Spidey themed?

    News Bobby Mouse needs his cut.. (Price Increase)

    I used to use the rule of thumb that 3 trips with 3 day park hoppers was the break even for a Signature Pass (max pass figured into all of that). The difference was about $6. Restaurant and merchandise discounts were gravy. That held true until this price increase--now 3 trips with 3 day...

    The Downtown Disney Thread

    We did a private party in the Oak Room in August. The food was good, but the service was definitely not on par with a high end steakhouse. We had two servers, who were clearly covering other tables while they handled our party, the two were not communicating with one another, the lead server...

    Ticket Question

    Are you certain about the tickets through December 31st 2018? Disneyland ticket website says one day tickets are good through December 31st 2019--and I can scroll calendar dates for a one day ticket through March 2019. Perhaps they just updated the website?

    Discrepancy between regular dinner reservations and Fantasmic package dates

    I have held multiple dining reservations for the same time--first time was when I booked a group of 11 into Blue Bayou, and they could only do it in 3 separate reservations. Did it again a year later for River Belle Terrace, and did it this past summer for Napa Rose and Storyteller's Cafe...

    Discrepancy between regular dinner reservations and Fantasmic package dates

    They may not have settled on the overall park schedules or the performance schedule for Fantasmic yet. Currently, I can only see park hours at Disneyland.com through 12/24. I've had the issue in the past with dining package reservations where I wasn't able to make reservations until the...
