You can also have your wedding reception in the Animation Courtyard, Sleeping Beauty Castle, and Small World Plaza at Disneyland. But seriously, no thank you. I'd rather spend the money on a lifetime annual pass. ![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

I'd rather say "I got married, but can also pay my mortgage!" Na na nananaJeez, that's enough to go to Club 33 for 6.5 years! But I can imagine the bragging rights, "I got married at Disneyland! Na na nanana!"
You're going to Las Vegas?my upcoming vacation to New York, New York!
Ironically I'm going away when you're coming to New York haha (I live in the area)Still alive, folks! Sorry I've been M.I.A. I'm a bit overbooked this week with a friend's wedding and my upcoming vacation to New York, New York! I promise I'll be back soon with new and exciting updates. My official vacation lasts this Wednesday thru Saturday, August 18. Perhaps this will give @spacemt354, a chance to work on a rough sketch of the new and improved Hollywood Boulevard?![]()
No no make sure you go on it in the summer - when it's 116 degrees outside and dry and you paid $15You're going to Las Vegas?
Don't do that disgusting Togo roller coaster which circles around the hotel. It's a really bad ride.![]()

Have you ever been? I'm assuming you're gonna go see a Broadway show or two?
Of course! Haha.
I'm seeing Sweeney Todd, Frozen, Mean Girls, and Hello, Dolly for sure... We are going to try and get tickets on the spot for Carousel and possibly SpongeBob.
I can remember back on the SYWTBAI forums, discussing a New York trip around the time Matilda and Kinky Boots opened on Broadway. I've never been to Broadway myself, but I have been to its British counterpart: the West End.
That would have been back in 2013.So Visions Fantastic was still around. Haha. That trip brought me Matilda, Once, Book of Mormon and Kinky Boots. Last August, I saw Anastasia, Aladdin, Waitress, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Whatever you do, don't see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Of course! Haha.

I’d love to see Disney do it in hand drawn or stop motion (I don’t think CGI would do it justice).And if they did with the Deep Canvas technology (2D animation against 3D backgrounds, as used in Tarzan), it would be even more beautiful. Plus, since it's animated, it would be harder to argue against any other film adaptation. Think about it--there's never been a proper animated adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory before. If Disney was able to wrangle the rights to the musical from Warner Bros. and do something right with the source material, I think they'd have another masterpiece on-hand.
What about Phantom?I'm home! My flight was canceled yesterday (thunderstorms), so my arrival is a bit delayed.
Anyhow, I doubled the amount of shows that I saw, so here's a rundown of everything. This post is mostly for @DisneyManOne.I'll rate everything too, because why not.
1. Carousel - 7/10
2. Sweeney Todd - 10/10
3. The Play That Goes Wrong - 7.5/10
4. Frozen - 8/10
5. Once on this Island - 10/10
6. Mean Girls - 10/10
7. The Phantom of the Opera - 7.5/10
8. Hello, Dolly! - 10/10
If you want to sob like a baby, then see Once on this Island immediately. If you want to laugh hysterically and feel good about yourself, see Mean Girls. Every show was fantastic, there wasn't a weak link in the bunch. I didn't feel like I was wasting my time at any venue. Carousel and Frozen were my least favorite of the musicals, but were both really great shows. The Play That Goes Wrong was hilarious, but a little too long for my taste. Otherwise, everything, all eight shows, were tremendous. 10/10 would recommend.

Once on this Island has always been my number 1 underrated show. It’s genuinely fantastic when it’s done right and the revival cast is literal perfection.I'm home! My flight was canceled yesterday (thunderstorms), so my arrival is a bit delayed.

I've always had my trepidations about this particular Carousel, because again, it was helmed by Jack O'Brien, who helmed the Broadway Charlie as well as the original Love Never Dies (aka Andrew Lloyd Webber's glorified Phantom fanfiction); especially considering that it's a story that kinda-sorta glorifies domestic abuse. How did they stage that part of the show? I've heard they cut the part about "It's possible for someone to hit you and for you to not feel it"--is that true?
The first act, at least to me, was and felt boring. That being said, the second act was excellent. The plot of domestic abuse is still present, but it is definitely toned down and cut to an extent that it feels like the idea was put on the back-burner. He still hits both his wife and daughter, but it only happens once. This does not however ruin the rest of the show for me or the audience.
Phantom was also good. I just felt like it needs an update or something to cut out the fat and streamline the show. The scenes in the office with the producers and Carlotta were horribly boring to me.![]()
