    Desert Palms Inn & Suites (Good Neighbor)

    Star Wars Autonomous Droid Testing in Tomorrowland

    All those kids did was touch it. I was expecting to see them riding it or attacking it with souvenir lightsabers from the way you guys were talking.

    Disney MaxPass reviews

    I'll be getting it on my next trip, but I'm also running two races. Ten dollars for all your race photos is an amazing bargain. It'll be a busy weekend too, so I'm sure I would have gotten it anyway, but with the race photos included it's a no-brainer. They'd typically run around $100 for a full...

    1st Timer looking for Classic Disneyland Things to Do

    One last bit of advice -- if there are lines to get through security, try going all the way over to one of the edges, not right through the middle. I spent an hour waiting to get through security waiting in the middle back in June (I got there about 30 minutes before park opening). Meanwhile my...

    World of Color Dining Package - Multiple showtimes

    Just curious, where did you find that info? I did it a few years back and I believe we chose which show we wanted. According to this site, you are able to choose: https://disneylanddaily.com/special-dining-events-with-reserved-seating-for-shows/#Timing_for_World_of_Color_Shows.

    I read that the first available fastpasses of the day have a return time 30 minutes after park opening, is that it?

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

    Wouldn't a cell phone with Bluetooth work? And didn't they already do something like this with "Ghost Post?" https://medium.com/the-e-ticket/dispatch-from-the-ghost-post-what-is-disneys-ghost-relations-department-signaling-from-beyond-the-5fce45f7c363

    If they use Bluetooth you won't have to get your phone out.

    Disney MaxPass reviews

    They've added bluetooth access to the app, so I think ultimately you won't have to pull out your phone and scan a barcode -- you'll just tap your phone. Basically using your phone like a magic band.

    Project Thermal Springs = Adventureland Crowding Improvements

    It's definitely NOT frozen yogurt or ice cream. It's non-dairy. Dole Whip is to soft serve ice cream as Cool Whip is to whipped cream.

    Space Mountain Finally Normal Again This Summer

    I shouldn't have said heavier things slide faster, I got that backwards (don't drink and physics). Sliding friction is generally greater for a heavier object so in that case the light object would move faster. Rolling friction gets a lot more complicated, but I would think aerodynamics would be...

    Space Mountain Finally Normal Again This Summer

    A heavier object will be better at overcoming friction and aerodynamic drag due to its greater inertia. That is why, in most situations where those factors are not insignificant, heavier objects will roll and slide faster than lighter ones.

    How many times have you been to Disneyland?

    Three trips in the past three years, but I went to WDW many times in the 70's because of grandparents in Winter Park.

    Disney MaxPass reviews

    If you book a hotel package through the Disneyland website, the tickets now say "with Disney MaxPass". This is true for stays starting as early as next Monday. So either it's coming out by Monday or someone forgot to tell the web site maintainers that it was delayed.
