    Best Classic-style DL dark ride?

    1. Alice 2. Toad 3. Peter Pan 4. Snow White 5. Pinocchio 6. Pooh I just think that the tiered experience of Alice and the recent updates puts it ahead of others. I really do love Toad though, especially its queue. I have yet to ride the new version of Snow White though, so it has potential to...

    Have hotel and flights booked for the last week of July. Hoping by then us dirty foreigners can join the clean part of our country!

    The Merch Alert Thread

    This is why I like the Parks Pop Funkos. They give me those ride vehicles and characters that for some reason Disney doesn't want to produce, or make in some crazy art style that I do not enjoy. I know the Pop Funkos art style is a little off putting for some, but I enjoy it. I do wish that...

    The Merch Alert Thread

    This was my thought as well. Why not model the paint after the actual droid from the attraction? Seems odd. Not that R units don't have different paint schemes, but this particular one is modeled after a specific droid. Maybe it is just a Target color scheme?

    Why Disneyland’s $1 billion Star Wars land isn’t a bust despite flat attendance - OCR/SCNG

    I will certainly be in the minority, but I really enjoy Galaxy's Edge. Do I think that it should be in the original DL and not in DCA? Yes, but there wasn't room, and the transitions from Critter/Frontier/Fantasy all make it feel like you are leaving DL and enterting a "new" place. I won't say...

    The Merch Alert Thread

    The preorder is sold out already, but I think that Disney/Target would be silly to keep the merchandise limited when there is a demand. Especially with the limited access to in-park merchandise right now, this is the next best thing. I still waiver back and forth on if I want to get the RotR...

    The Merch Alert Thread

    Almost all of the Galaxys Edge at Target pre-order is already sold out. I was only interested in the R-5 Funko though I wish that the droid was black like it is on the attraction and not red. The Falcon is really cool but also very expensive 😅

    So, You Want to be an Imagineer Season 18 HYPE THREAD!

    Indiana Jones Adventure Rise of Resistance Flight of Passage Haunted Mansion Pirates of Caribbean Big Thunder Mountain While I do love thrill rides, I would say that I prefer Dark Rides or themed rides more.

    Disneyland 65th

    It is a LEGO set that came out last year. I believe it is still for sale on the LEGO website. It was a fun set to put together.

    Disneyland 65th

    I have several displayed at home, and some at school. I think they’re a nice small way to display my fandom of some pop culture. I would say that if Disney created “inexpensive” small statues/figurines of their attractions or characters from the parks that I would have gravitated towards that...

    Disneyland 65th

    I have thought about putting my Splash ride back in the box, but I buy Pops because I like them, not because I plan on flipping them for profit. So, it remains on the shelf next to Alice and Steamboat Willie LEGO.

    Disneyland 65th

    For sure, I just love the Indiana Jones Adventure attraction! Always my first attraction when I get into the parks. Unless my wife wants to ride Space Mountain first, but Indy is always my first choice. Edit - To get back on track with the topic, I saw the 65th Anniversary merchandise is...

    Disneyland 65th

    I lost my eBay bidding war the other night for the Indy Ride Pop. I always keep an eye out for them. I think I will eventually have to suck it up and pay the $100+ for it. The Cheshire Cat is amazing looking, I agree! I keep an eye out for that as well, but I am guessing since its such a limited...

    Disneyland 65th

    I am very jealous of your Cheshire Cat Pop! I wanted that one so badly but missed out on the online sale, and I am not about to fork over $200+ for it to collect dust with Alice 😅 But yes, I agree that only Pop Funko is giving us the figures/ride vehicles that I crave. That Indy ride vehicle one...

    Best WDW/Parks Podcasts?

    I have a few favorites that I rotate between. I am a west coast person, so I prefer Disneyland focused Podcasts, but many focus on all of the parks in their entirety but here are my recommendations - Imagineering Podcast - my original and all encompassing Disney podcast Podcast: The Ride - not...

    Bring over one attraction from Disneyland (and where you would put it)

    Like many of you have said, I would add Indiana Jones to WDW. I do think that the Magic Kingdom could use an attraction like Indy in Adventureland now that HS has gotten a major update with Toy Story and Galaxy's Edge, but I do think Indy works at HS too.

    Disneyland or Magic Kingdom

    I agree that it is Disneyland, no contest when its a direct comparison of parks - DL vs MK. I think that voting between DLR and WDW is definitely more difficult, but I would still lean towards DLR over WDW in my opinion. DL includes several attractions absent at MK in somehow a smaller...

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I agree, Disneyland and Disney World are mostly getting ways for you to spend money that you didn't necessarily need to spend on treats, and souvenirs. I would say why people see GE as a failure is because of the high cost of the "experiences," and the lack of rides without a height limit. That...

    Disneyland AFTER WDW

    I have gone to both in recent years, and I would give the nod to Disneyland in being my preference between the two destinations. It helps living on the west coast, but I prefer most things about Disneyland. I think there is definitely a source of pride with the cast members of being the place...
