Around these parts, we only tickle hot dogs. And only during Hot Dog Days™ at the Disneyland® Resort.

Featuring MAGICAL™ hot dog-related moments with all of your favorite Disney•Pixar® characters at the all new Pixar® Pier™ at Disney® California Adventure™ Park in conjunction with the never-ending IMMERSIVE™ fun of PixarFest™!


Valid theme park admission required. Walt Disney® Parks and Resorts™ cannot guarantee that your experience will actually be either magical™ or immersive™. These are simply meaningless buzzwords that we use constantly to take advantage of the emotional connection that our guests have with the brand. In fact, your experience will probably be filled with disdain for current park management and a tugging nostalgia for better days when everything new that came out of Walt Disney® Imagineering™ didn't objectively suck. This experience is non-transferable, and no refunds are offered due to inclement weather or having a terribly disappointing time. Hugs from John Lasseter are offered free-of-charge at the all-new Lamplight Lounge™, though your definition of 'hug' may differ from his. Hot Dog Days™, Disneyland® Resort, Walt Disney®, Magical™, Immersive™, California Adventure™, PixarFest™, and your soul are all the exclusive property of the Walt Disney Company®. ©Disney 2018, all rights reserved.

Matterhorn Bobsled's and the quotation marks in "it's a small world" don't match up. I say whoever approved this be sent to the terrifyingly-realistic Hall of Blame Dungeon Adventure attraction.

Parentsof4 has a graph showing share repurchases going back to the 1980's. Basically since 2006 (Beginning of Igers Tenure) Disney has spent at least 7 billion dollars EVERY year on share repurchases.

Historically WDW has spent roughly 20 % of revenue on maintenance and growth CAPEX. Interesting enough that's about what UNI is spending now. Under Iger total CAPEX fell to a low of 8%. Even now its only about 11%, Strangely enough UNI's financials are better than Disney's

You seem to have a very simplistic view of how the business world works in the 20th and 21st century. But lets continue this game for a bit longer...

Disney is not just a theme park company, they are a media conglomerate. And to expand on that, they aren't just WDW either. Now I know that you believe that Disney is going to go bust soon, but that isn't going to happen. Disney like every other company in the modern business world performs business investments in a cyclical manner. Not every business unit will get the same or continued large scale investments year after year. So for example WDW is now getting their large scale investments for their 50th. Whereas the other parks got their investments over the last decade or so. And those investments don't appear to be stopping either. With the continued expansion of Marvel announced in several of the parks including DCA. The rumored expansion of FL and redo of TL in DL. And several other projects rumored for other parks. Point is they are continuing to spend on the parks for the next decade or longer.

This doesn't even begin to speak about the investments they are doing in the rest of the company. As mentioned previously there is currently a pending acquisition happening. This investment into the Studios and others parts of the company will bring massive amount of revenue that will again lead to more investments in the company.

So again to say they aren't investing in the company is just plain wrong.

Excuse me. Matterhorn Bobsled is very possessive of his or her Disney FASTPASS® distribution location and it's very kind of Disney to let us know.

Weirdly, the quotation marks are part of iasw's actual name for some reason. Maybe it's all metaphorical since world harmony is a hopeless dream.

I knew about the titling of "it's a small world", but the left quotation mark in the screenshot doesn't match up with the right one. It's a very small nitpick admittedly but I feel it has value.

Coincidentally, Magic Kingdom's it's a small world facade, as seen above, is also a benefit of membership in HoB East. We feel weird about hating it since it was designed by WED, but we live with our guilt.

Though, I don't want to sound too ungrateful. We do get this usually-dirty scaled-down version of a portion of the Disneyland facade. But indoors!

And how bout the ridiculous fact that the Matterhorn return times are in pink and the IASW return times are in blue? That messed me up once.

EDIT: I’m talking about DL

I nominate @DisneyExpert/Master Ghandi/Pickle-TIckler to be the Vice Vice Chariman of the Board.

She seems to be know all the scoop over there. Do you second the motion?

I've only really ever said "bruh" ironically, but I accept this nomination.

Also, I am a man. I understand the confusion because of the pickle-tickling and the boyfriend combined with the general heteronormativity of the world, but I'm a registered homosexual so it all works out.

I hope this revelation doesn't disqualify me, because that would be lame, bruh.

Great. Homos are Bruhs too. Welcome.

EDIT: we didn’t vote. Don’t @Disney Irish Bruh and @phruby need to vote too @Hattieboxghost110 ?
