Disneyland "Social Clubs"

[DLEXP]

Whelp. I don’t think Disney or the other guests have to worry about these anymore. The lack of AP’s are probably going to all but eliminate the majority of the clubs.

I hadn't thought of that! What a marvelous piece of news to send us into our weekend on. Thank you!

No more street fights like these.

I was actually thinking I hadn't seen any of those in a while. Think they seemed to disappear by 2019-ish. Though they were certainly plentiful for several years previously.

Actually, not a lot of anything going on at DLR since 2019.

Since the Pandemic has turned everyone into a bunch of materialistic shopping-crazed Reagan-era citizens, I suspect the social clubs will just go to malls and big box stores from now on. IKEA and Target are the new Disneylands.

To be fair, Disneyland was to APs what malls were to us kids of the 80's...a place to hang out. So let's hope they revert to going back to malls.

IKEA and Target are the new Disneylands.

Now I can’t stop thinking about an IKEA theme park. Kitchenland.... Bathland... Collegeland... Newlywedland... Bachelorland... 100 Swedish Meatball kiosks... A spinning ride themed to a piece of furniture put together completely wrong...

I meant earlier rather than later, but fair point!

Except more and more malls and physical stores and chains are closing so... maybe they'll hang out around Amazon warehouse fullfillment centers?

The Coronavirus has only boosted their business in southern California. The parking lots look like big auto dealerships.

And you all are paying dearly for this behavior, unortunately.

I’m in line right now for Dagstorp and I have fast passes later for Smörboll.

Ah, but have you taken your selfie yet with the World's Biggest Build-Your-Own-Bookcase?!

I hope when Disneyland reopens the drawbridge gets taken over by drug selling goths again. Ah, memories.

Those payphones next to the backside of the matterhorn are so missed. Hahah

 

[DLEXP]

A lot of them started to disappear when they started the updated disability program (that they have now) which a lot of them used. At least that is when I noticed them dwindling working there.

Wow. Good observation! I never considered that. I did notice on several of my trips to the park that one of the “club members” would have an access pass (occasionally a legitimate one) and the rest of the club would follow the one member right up the exit ramp and onto the ride.

Sorry for my ignorance but was this an actual thing or is it a joke I could see locals sneaking drugs in in the past and selling there, but the drawbridge would definitely not be the place to do it.

Sorry in advance to everyone for probably ruining a silly joke by asking for an explanation...

My wife has seen instagram accounts that only show new items at costco and trader joes. It's like the Disney vloggers of retail.
