    Seen an old Disneyland Toy Factory

    Is this the one at Volo? https://www.volocars.com/the-attraction/exhibits/mold-a-rama

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    I believe they have a JV in China. Maybe they could build a monorail for Shanghai too...

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Add a camera - screen displays what is outside (as if looking out a glass window) add AR overlay, and there you have it. Nothing too crazy or expensive and you have AR windows.

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    I’ve wished they’d replace the glass walls on the concourse with something more, well, contemporary, like a cable-net wall.

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    I suspect monorails and subway cars are made in different plants.

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Doesn’t Bombardier have a Chinese JV? I wonder if they could get a deal on two fleets - one for WDW and one for Shanghai...

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    I wonder if they’d ever do a Mark V/VII style rebuild of the Mark VIs (New bodies on existing chassis - not aesthetically).

    Rumor Wonders of Life getting an attraction soon?

    That’s a pretty low level posting. Three years experience is not much in the AEC industry.

    DL for a WDW fan

    I’ve done WDW every other year my whole life. This February we did our second DL Trip. We did five days. It was awesome. I love DL. Reminds me so much of WDW in my youth. We never spend time at the resorts at WDW - non stop at the parks, sleep, rinse, repeat. Having 5 days allowed us to do...

    Disneyland Max Pass is really nice, I wonder if it would work in Florida.

    Yeah, typing in the number for ride photos was a pain, I don’t understand why they don’t do a QR code to scan. I nearly missed a couple. Regarding cost, I could see it becoming a perk for staying on property (especially if talking about doing the same at WDW)

    Disneyland Max Pass is really nice, I wonder if it would work in Florida.

    We did DL in February, and while I agree, I much prefer the MaxPass approach, I wish it worked with magic bands. People having to futz with their phone slowed things down quite a bit. “Oh, I don’t have the app open? Now where do I find my FastPass? Oh, ok, now what about Johnny’s FastPass, how...

    Dumbo & Main Street Updates

    Been at DL this week. Don’t mind Dumbo being down, but man, the Extent of the Mainstreet was a shock! I knew they were doing track work, and the vehicles would be down, but both ends of the spine, virtually all of mainstreet behind walls was not what I was expecting at all. Not the end of the...

    MaxPass vs. Photopass + One Week

    My son will have a DAS on our upcoming trip (he needed a wheelchair at WDW last year, but think he's recovered enough to try DL without). We did Photopass on our last DL trip, so I'm thinking Maxpass makes sense - or does the DAS mess it up?

    Announcement Updated version of WDWMAGIC Forums now live

    Is there no longer a way to show only unread watched threads? Other than that, I'm really digging the new site. Looks great on mobile! Thanks for all you do to keep the site current.

    Wildernesses Lodge or Boardwalk for Christmas?

    They're our two favorite resorts. WL has a leg up on holiday decorations, but hardly a reason to choose one over the other. When my son was younger I preferred the location of WL - the proximity to MK with a younger child is a plus, as it's easy to hop back to the room for a break. As he's...

    I really miss the Osborne lights, anyone else?

    I end up replacing my lights every couple years. Disney clearly added lights over the years. The original lights would have been incandescent. I wonder what, if anything, really remained of the really Osborne lights anyway.

    Pixar's Coco.

    It's an interesting risk for Disney. My son is 9. Normally it's not if, but when, I bring him to a Pixar movie. This is not a topic I'm sure I want to see a Pixar movie about with him.

    When are you going to fix that yeti?

    Or, you know, you could have clicked the link to the tweet in my post.

    When are you going to fix that yeti?

    Yes. A pumpkin with the yeti carved in it. Someone commented on it needing to be lit with a strobe light, which is clearly a slam at the current state of the ride. Joe didn't need to like that. I'd argue if it was business as usual he'd have ignored it. I think the fact he liked it...
