News Blue Sky Cellar has reopened for Pixar Pier Exhibit. And TDA gossip.

Considering that Iger has a limited time to burn Disneyland to the ground. This is another one of your lies.

Wasn't Iger supposed to retire years ago?

Would have loved to see just one performance of this parade with all the confined characters pounding on the snowglobe walls, begging for someone to free them.

I would literally run to the computer and buy a plane ticket right now if Disney announced they were bringing this parade back but instead of the normal characters in the globes, they had Bob Iger and Bob Chapek etc dressed as the characters (with no heads to the costumes).

Imagine the Bobs sitting on Dunk Tanks instead on that parade with the guests each equipped with a ball...

It's Universal that does Halloween Horror Nights, not The Magic Kingdom.

Thank you for getting the name right.

When i was there watching the parade used to wonder whether the globes had A/C

I hear the globes only had about a half hour of air so the cast member had to conserve it by not moving much.

^^ You've got to be kidding- I hope!

In all fairness to the merchandise, it looks way better than actual parade floats.

Before Iger and his army of Morlocks, Disney merchandise was very good to excellent quality meant to last a lifetime. Now that's seen as a bad thing hey if it doesn't break or wear prematurely then the fanboi army will not need to buy a replacement

Long ago I worked at a local family-owned toy store. A customer asked the owner if the toys had any kind of warranty, and he said (while not missing a beat heading to his office for a lunch break), "They're guaranteed to last until you take them out of the store."

IMO Disney park merchandise hasn't been worth buying since at least the mid to early 90s.

That is why we liked to go to Toys R Us. The kids would "test ride" bikes all over the store. Now it will never happen again.

Ah, Toys R Us. The joy of getting caught in the middle of some kids' impromptu dodgeball game.

I worked part-time one Christmas at a Toys R Us in L.A. in the 80's. I don't know if this was company-wide, but at this store they'd shrink-wrap returned, opened toys (often cobbling together a complete toy from several broken ones) and sell them again as new.

Disney World desperately needs new leadership, but perhaps more desperately they need a new image.

I know it's absurd and impossible, but moving out of Florida would help immensely.

I believe they had them at one point since confetti was seein floating inside the snow globes during it's first three years as seen in this video from 2001. Confetti used to be turned on when the parade used to have a showstop up till 2003 and eventually the confetti was removed sometime in late 2003.

Oh you mean the 'cash' warranty, It ends as soon as the cash is handed over...

Blue Sky Cellar opened today!

That model used to look so elegant, but it was definitely missing the "let's make it look like 2nd grade art project" details. Glad they fixed that!
