Love this little detail of SSE reflecting in the panels here:

I've been to four Expos and yes, the lines thing always seems to surprise them. It's like "oh, shoot, there's a LINE?" Part of the issue might be significant turnover from Expo to Expo, with few veteran employees passing down their experience. Given that D23 cut a sizable amount of staff in the...

Epcot managers: kindly consider a one-day a year change in soundtrack... you guys love retro, limited-edition merch and mashups; this seems like it might work well for that...

I'm thinking it won't open until there's a festival to go along with its debut and fully utilize its space. Festival of the Arts is too soon, so I'm guessing Flower & Garden or maybe not until Food & Wine in July. I suppose the meet & greet part could open sooner...

Yep, liked the new special quite a bit... for the record, my first Doctor was Tom Baker, so always enjoyed some degree of grumpiness in the Doctor, but appreciate the vibe each new actor brings to the role. Tennant was always a standout; so fun to have him back for another brief run. Glad to...

But Diesel and Cooper wouldn't have been on set during the production of GOTG3 anyway — they do their work in a recording booth for the most part after principal photography completes. I think it's quite obvious that the voice for Rocket isn't Mr. Cooper. It's strange, because while I'm not sure...

Yes, but Vin Diesel didn't participate in Cosmic Rewind... obviously someone thought they could use voice soundalikes for Rocket and Groot and save a bit of budget and only use "face" characters/actors for the show. It's not as noticeable for Groot but it stands out like a sore thumb for Rocket...

That music sounds more appropriate for a castle fireworks show...

There's "niche marketing," aimed at a smaller, distinct audience — which is mostly what they have been doing to date, and "mass marketing," which really hasn't started in earnest yet.

Indeed... along the same vein of the art looking like graffiti or something painted on the side of a building in an urban environment — and implying that those works are not "proper art," whatever that might be.

I didn't see anything that says the Honda Center events will need a separate ticket, unless you are taking about "registering" for them just like one had to do for any of the Expo panels and presentations. Your D23 ticket/pass (and the Disneyland kickoff, which was specifically mentioned as an...

Actually, if they make any large-scale announcements this week, it could signal that the Expo might be cut back or curtailed. I can see them reducing the scale to one annual "Destination D23" event, alternating each year between WDW and Disneyland, but I hope that's not the case. I enjoy the...

If Disney was really serious about reducing waste, then they would use their purchasing muscle with Coca Cola and tell them that in two years they will only sell vended beverages that come in aluminum cans. Despite the plethora of recycle bins in nearly everyone's driveways across the country...

A fairly comprehensive and fair assessment of the new attraction: https://blogmickey.com/moana-journey-of-water-first-impression-review/

Geez. If you miss the story, what's the point of even operating it then?

I also went to a few of the Expos (last one for me was 2019), and always had a fun time — of course part of that was getting to play at Disneyland/DCA as well as the various Expo features. Have to think with the recent cuts and rollbacks in terms of D23 staff that the 2024 D23 Expo isn't going...

Quick question: Does the Disneyland ROTR suffer from the same moving cannons problem as the DHS installation?

I'd be really surprised if anything of substance was announced in the next couple of years, but I do think that Spaceship Earth is the next big rehab. I can't imagine them starting any SSE work right after the central core is completed. But I think it *has* to be addressed sooner than later, at...

Hmm... no idea. Find someone comfortable with electrical wiring and see if there's a short somewhere?
