The re-selling/merchandise issue is absolutely absurd and I cannot believe they haven't found a good solution yet or don't just manufacture more of the merchandise to begin with. I appreciate they have started scanning your ticket for certain purchases but they need to crack down harder. Why...

I think this ship has sailed for you but if its helpful to anyone else, as someone who has done 4 trips to TDR- staying on the monorail loop or at any of the hotels near the park are completely unnecessary and are usually overpriced and lower quality. Only stay at a Disney hotel if you care for...

yes you are able to book more premier access and use the 40th pass on the day!

I've also seen these issues reiterated online but both anecdotally and from videos online it seems like this December is one of, if not the most, busy Decembers the resort has ever had right? Even from our December trip in 2019, the demand and congestion this year felt higher. It also felt...

Just got back from our multi-week stay in Shanghai and Japan, with SHDL marking our last Disney park on the list. Fortunate to be in the Six Castle Club, thought I'd share some of my thoughts below in case anyone is interested. Also made a trip out to Universal Studios Japan for Donkey Kong but...

Just got back from our first Shanghai visit today! And that completed our grand circle tour of all parks. Doing our rankings after the fact I'm so pleasantly surprised to see how high HKDL rates compared to the rest. It's a wonderful park. If they can just fix that Tomorrowland it'll be near...

A few thoughts: Beyond devastated at the removal of Muppet-Vision. I appreciate the lip service to preserving it, but anything short of fully relocating the entire thing start to finish is pointless and defeats the purpose of what it is. I would love to believe that's on the table, but I live...

I still struggle to see a world where OLC is forced to spend a ton of capex on a re-theme of a ride that is regularly drawing major crowds. I still feel like this isn't something that happens till new Space Mountain is almost done, and honestly feels like it'd almost be part of an entire new...

As long as they never touch Tony Solaroni they can replace anything else they like

Yeah was aware about the province issue. To simplify things we'll just be visiting Shanghai for the duration of the trip and staying at one hotel (Toy Story). Was hoping that would make things as painless as possible.

We're coming from the US and planning to do the Visa free transit travel (which has a cap of 6 days I believe). If anyone has any red flags or warnings about doing that, and doing the traditional visa route instead - would love to know!

Boils down to Disneyland resort's inability to make a decision when it comes to concrete plans for the DLForward plots. It's keeping Coco and Pandora in a constant state of shuffling. (My speculation ->) I don't think a third park has anything to do with the above but you could make the...

If Avatar is actually in DL Forward now (I don't actually know either way) - that is definitely best case scenario for the land. That's where Imagineering wanted it. The previous location was a bad compromise. Also that decision has zero to do with any potential for a third gate one way or the...

Sound advice, thanks. Will definitely be getting the apps set up before we leave. What did you do for internet and to get around the great firewall? Had heard we might want to consider using bottled water for washing face and hair? Also - any issues with your room reeking of smoke? Had heard...

Any food or general/logistic recommendations? Making our first trip in December (and the last park on the list!) Also staying at the Toy Story hotel.

This cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding

Makes sense. I was just secretly hoping a 2026 opening might be in the cards.

I don't know anything about construction timelines (or maybe I've just been abused by domestic Disney for too long) - but this seems to be coming together rather quickly for something that is still over 2+ years away. Will it really take that long at this pace? Or is that because it includes...

I feel like when Iger first came back there was a period in which he was at events with both Dana and Josh, events that you wouldn't normally expect one or both of them to be at. Like Josh was with them at like the Emmys or Oscars? And then Dana was in Paris at the parks with the two of them...
