    News California indoor Mask Mandate is lifted

    This was my experience at a music festival a few months back down in Oakland. Masks were "recommended" but not required. I personally wore mine, but was around plenty of people who didn't. I know realistically wearing my mask around others who aren't isn't very effective at keeping me safe but...

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    I have a quick question about reservations. When I look at reservations for January 4th-6th it shows Disneyland as having reservations open for starting park. That means I can still parkhop to DCA on any of those 3 days after noon, correct? Would it be worth going those days even though they'll...

    News MagicBand+ comes to Disneyland

    Thank you for the tip! I am honestly unsure with all the terms from modern Disney stuff, is a Mobile Magic ticket just any park ticket that you access on your My Disneyland Experience app or is that Magic ticket like a pass holder thing specifically? I would imagine it's just any normal park...

    News MagicBand+ comes to Disneyland

    I wish Disney would make an Apple Wallet version of your ticket available to use on your Apple Watch, basically acting as a Magic Band. I know you'd have to open it on Wallet on the watch but double tapping the power button to pull it up and select the pass would be much more convenient than...

    AMC Theater finally getting a replacement at Downtown Disney

    I am sad about Earl of Sandwich, that was the only thing worthwhile on that end of DTD so I hope it reopens when the reworking of the area is done. Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen and EOS are my two favorite places to eat in DTD so it's sad that it might be going away again or is going away again I...

    News Happy 50th Birthday to Walt Disney World!

    I always wondered about this, I know it gets stormy / windy down in Orlando pretty often from my understanding, I am surprised they have a massive kite show there. It looks charming, but I always wondered how often they would have to cancel due to weather.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    This is great news to me, I am considering a trip in the beginning of January with my girlfriend who didn't get BGs when she went with her family earlier this year so we both really want to ride, I haven't even been since SW:GE opened. This would be great to have on our trip if we can just go...

    Pelican’s Landing

    I can see it both ways honestly. I do think it's nice they get to be proud of this well done looking area, but it is just a themed seating area and not some big feat. I guess making a charming area in the park is a big feat for modern Disney, actually. I feel since this is the Imagineering...

    That's how I feel. It could be fun during the summer like Blizzard Beach / Typhoon Lagoon, but I think Disney could spend that money better on Disneyland itself. Tomorrowland is big on my list as is with most others but even spending that money on smaller projects around the whole park would be...

    How many days in each park?

    I think 3 days in the resort is a good minimum, but last time I only went 2 days. I think 3 days is a good amount to see everything that is important to you. 2 days starting / focusing on Disneyland, 1 day starting in / focusing on DCA. In those 2 Disneyland days there is a LOT to see / do, so...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    I know Disney asks for your priority experiences, I just don't believe Disney is operating in good faith to truly tailor an experience to you that you will enjoy, they have ulterior motives. They are trying to funnel people to certain rides / areas based on what is best for Disney, not what is...

    Disney's Over-Reliance on Smartphones

    Well excuse me if I'm wrong or not understanding but the problem is that Diseny is requiring people to mobile order, not that too many people are doing it on their own free will, as stated with the Dole Whip story above. I do understand what you mean by large amounts of mobile orders making...

    Disney's Over-Reliance on Smartphones

    Well based on the previous posts about the Dole Whip experience I am very very disappointed. Especially given the fact that people are claiming capacity issues when they are handing out 3 Dole Whips in 5 minutes. I haven't worked in a restaurant as high capacity as Disneyland but I could never...

    The End Of An Era - Captain Kidd's Buffet Closed Permanently

    Their bacon, egg, and gouda sandwich is very very tasty, have not had a bad experience ordering that. Also for lunch their grilled cheese is so good I know it's just bread and cheese but I'm addicted I love it so much. Krispy Kreme would be insanely good to go there, but I am curious if they...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    What a day Disney lovingly planned for you! I don't get how anyone believes the app is genuinely recommending what you would want to do, how would it know your wants and plans and why would they honor those? I will not use that at all next time I visit the parks, but I might check it out at some...

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    Yes there have been examples of crude product placements in the park before, and granted I am only 22 so I don't remember things from the 90's, but in my memory it has just gotten worse and worse. I don't think this will stop under this management, they see the parks as a way to advertise their...

    Incredicoaster vs Rock 'n' Roller Coaster

    I totally forgot the safety rail wasn't always in the up position, wow. I miss the wave machine causing waves to crash and splash onto me before the launch, and as a passerby it looked so cool to simulate the waves of an ocean to feel like you were on a real pier over the ocean. Now it's over a...

    Incredicoaster vs Rock 'n' Roller Coaster

    In my opinion if this was a vote between California Screamin' and RnR I would have picked California Screamin'. I think the ride experience of CS compared to RnR is more fun with the total of the elements. Thrill factor obviously goes to RnR but I think the fact the CS is outside with a view of...

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    I understand D+ is Disney's biggest revenue source or one of the biggest I forget the exact figures but I hate how much they push it everywhere. The blue carpet I looked up looks tacky, the HSMTMTS preview in Tomorrowland of all places, the weird Disney+ merch they sell, all of it is so...

    Question About Business Early in January

    I don't care much about IASW Holiday because my girlfriend and I are not huge fans of IASW, I personally would ride it to see the overlay but it's not something I would care if I missed, honestly. It is a pretty spur of the moment trip, a 2 month advance is spur of the moment for me for a trip...
