Disneyland officially reopening April 30th

[MisterPenguin]

Now that Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah has been (misguidedly) scrubbed from the resort, I wonder what music now accompanies the opening announcement each morning. Anyone know?

Song of the Roustabouts from Dumbo.

Wait, since when did Church's serve spicy chicken?? Or is that just a Canadian thing lol? Now I feel I must try Canadian Church's whenever I get the chance to visit.

Yep they offer original or spicy up here!

The spicy rocks.

Song of the Roustabouts from Dumbo.

Thanks!

Just looked it up. Fits perfectly for the first 30 seconds, then some minor chords creep in. Perhaps Disney is using an instrumental version/edit more appropriate for the park opening.

I think (or I hope) @MisterPenguin is joking.

Plaza Inn is a last resort for if everything is busy.

It's not terrible and I've always thought it was mediocre, when I went online and saw people declare it "the best fried chicken ever made" I was so shocked.

Eating it on a high school lunchroom tray makes it 10% fancier.

You know what? Now it's at least a lot more fitting for what it actually is.

Now that I think about it, why are there no plates? Surely that isn't a covid restriction is it?

LOL. I am the perfect mark for that joke. Huge parks fan but know little about the films. I listened for 45 seconds, scratched my head, and didn't think about it too much.

That song isn’t played anywhere in the parks.

Sorry, didn't mean for that to be a 'gotcha.'

Roustabouts is an often brought up example of casual racism in a Disney film. Faceless Black men singing about their lot in life doing hard work and all that stuff.

There's no indoor dining right now and I'm sure outdoor dining at Plaza Inn is limited so I think they're encouraging folks to find other spots; personally I wish they'd just turned Plaza Inn into a TSR with their outdoor seating but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[ToTBellHop]

Probably not but my first thought maybe the kitchens are too small to handle extra bodies to clean said plates.

Sure...then use a normal disposable plate instead of something that makes you wonder if the lunch lady was wearing her hairnet correctly. One can never be too safe.

Haha. Got it. I swear, though, for the first 30 seconds, it kind of works.

On the train. Finally got in shortly after 10 AM. Have rode Indy, Pirates, Splash and Haunted Mansion, which was down for a couple of hours before opening up again. Lunch at the French Market. Clam Chowder was great. Other stiff was OK. Now the Train? Then Big Thunder followed by Fantasy land.

Got RotR backup group 118.

Got RotR backup group 118.

Probably a long shot but

Something to note, boarding groups for ROTR didn’t sell out until around 8AM this morning, an hour after distribution began.

Parking Lot opens at 8:30 AM. RotR passes were not issued or went within a minute.

 

[Darkbeer1]

Probably a long shot but

They are boarding 73 through 82 currently. Please don't have any breakdowns.

Let us know if they ruined it with plexiglass like they did at Disney world.

Looking at the DLR map and wait times (man it feels so good to see that again) the rides aren't really busy at the parks at all. The average wait time for today is between 5-15 minutes at most of the rides. I assume it was like that yesterday but never looked. The only rides that are currently even 30 minutes are HM, INDY, SW, POTC, SR and GOTG: MB. But everything else is practically 15 mins and under. Not bad at all.

I have no idea what the capacity level is today, does anyone know? I assume it's at least 25%. Can't wait to see how it will be this weekend.

I'm curious about Smuggler's Run. When I go in June I'll be by myself. Since there's no single rider, are they mixing groups in the cockpits at all? Will I be flying it by myself? That doesn't sound fun...or does it?
