    German Soccer Duo Performing at Epcot

    Haven’t seen this posted anywhere - there is a German Freestyle Soccer Duo performing at the Germany Pavilion at Epcot. They are very talented and seem to really impress the crowds. This is EXACTLY the type of entertainment world showcase needs. Hope to see more and more of this.

    Comparison of WDW expansions - which one is best / worst?

    Since comparing attractions and expansions in the dedicated threads get off topic… here’s a place to discuss the best / worst and compare Cars in the Frontier, Zootopia in Joe’s park, and Monsters evicting muppets.

    First Visit to Disneyland Paris - random thoughts and opinions.

    Finally made it to Disneyland Paris! I’m a huge fan of Tony Baxter and the 90’s era of Imagineering so I’ve always wanted to visit. While the parks are crowded for Christmas and New Years - all of the attractions were open and the parks were open late into the night. The park can not be...

    Steam Trains - Disney and beyond!

    Wanted to start a thread on steam train operations outside of the Disney parks. Knott’s wins for the most historic theme park operation - with historic Rio Grande lettering and equipment! Dollywood wins for the best show - coal burning, former white pass narrow gauge mikados climbing a 3.5%...

    Casey Jr. & Storybook

    Anyone know what’s up with Casey JR. & Storybook? I noticed it’s been and will be closed for most of the year. Is this a major refurbishment? Mothball? Related to Studios construction somehow? Just curious.

    Guest Service issues at Disney Springs

    Here’s a short list of issues at Disney Springs, none of them are major on their own but collectively they add up and really need to be addressed. - Security / Entrance Experience This is partially understandable since Disney Springs wasn’t designed with security in mind, but there are...

    Landscaping Downgrades at WDW

    Quick visit to Walt Disney World and one of the things that is very noticeable is the downgrade of landscaping at WDW. Almost all of the flower beds that I’ve seen so far are now filled with bushes and cheaper / easier to maintain greenery. I want to be clear that landscaping is still well...

    Railroad signaling down - limit of 2 Trains

    Ever since the fire at the new orleans square station the Disneyland Railroad has been without a functioning signal system which limits the operation to only 2 trains. They used to run 3 and even 4 trains on very busy days so this is really causing long lines to build up at the stations during...

    Concerning response to a medical incident

    At Disneyland waiting for the 6:30 magic happens parade a young man had a major medical episode on the sidewalk in front of Crystal Arcade. While Cast, managers, and security were quick on the scene, it was a good amount of time before a “health services” cm arrived and quite some time before...

    Rise closes 2 hours early

    Went to rise after fireworks “sorry rise closes at 10:00 pm” - operating hours are indeed 8-10 on the app. That’s one way to save money. And just when I was getting cocky about DL being so superior to WDW! :-p

    CM’s counting change at registers in front of guests

    here’s an interesting bad-show I’ve noticed at multiple counter service locations at Disneyland - CM’s are closing registers at end of shifts and counting change while standing at the register in front of guests. This looks tacky, and also closes that register for that period of time...

    Lack of Charging stations in Disneyland.

    Why are there no charging stations / convenient outlets throughout the Disneyland Resort? In 2023 this is really crazy for a resort that forces guests to use their app for so many standard activities like park tickets and discounts. Is there a way to properly bring this to Disney’s attention?

    Questioned for Park Hopping?

    I was just questioned by a front gate CM and then a Lead on why I left and re-entered the theme park “so quickly” - the CM literally said “ the system flags tickets when it looks like people aren’t doing what they are supposed to.” I left DL park to get salt and straw ice cream at downtown...

    Cutting scheduled entertainment?

    At Disneyland I’ve noticed several live entertainment acts get cut short. Perhaps because of how crowded the parks are at times? Not sure. But it’s annoying to plan around a scheduled performance and then have that performance not take place or be cut extremely short. Dapper Dans and 5 &...

    Lack of Food & Beverage staff?

    Anyone else notice the severe lack of food and beverage staff at the Disneyland Resort? Is this a shortage of staff or a deliberate budget cut? There are long lines everywhere, even at carts. A cart that would in the past have 2-3 CM’s now has only 1. Attractions, Security, front gate...

    Free water inconsistencies.

    At Disneyland the free water has become extremely inconsistent. Sometimes you get water and no ice. Sometimes you get ice and no water (instructed to fill it yourself from water fountains) and sometimes you get really lucky and get a large cup of ice and water! Would be nice if the guest came...

    Security splitting up families / groups at entrances

    I’ve seen this at both Epcot and studios, security is now forcing guests without bags to use the no-bag line. I have a big problem with this. This morning for example going into Epcot I was forced to separate from my mom... we should be able to wait together if we want, it makes for a calmer...
