I find this recent trend of showing film trailers in the Opera House to be disappointing.
And stupidly shortsighted.
Not to mention , in short, , stupid.

Today's Guests can watch these same trailers on a mobile device in their pocket anywhere at any time.
Where else in the world can one see 'Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln' in person...?

Incredibly stupid decision to replace a unique and historic Attraction / Show with current Disney Studios marketing fodder.
'What would Walt think' about this nonsense....?

I think the more relevant questions is what does Tony and his generation of Imagineering think? They fought to restore Lincoln and get the attraction in top notch form, seeing it be replaced by a remake of Aladdin is probably incredibly disheartening.

At this point Lincoln is too good for Disneyland. A butchered POTC, TL is pathetic, Project Curbstomp, etc. Main Street is just a bunch of shops that sell the same junk as anywhere else.

Not to mention, the maintenance in Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion is abhorrent. And those cool explosion effects they added to Big Thunder in 2014? Broken or at least wildly inconsistent. And Space Mountain had way less stars when I rode it a couple weeks ago.

Replacing a beloved and timeless classic that embodies the ideals of Disneyland and America with a quick trailer to hawk their latest live action cash grab at paying customers is par for the course right now...

Yet, all of you keep paying for that Annual Pass.

You all are such....

I would disagree about the effort to open up walkways and make them safer. If anything, I think they haven't gone far enough. I don't like losing any more landscape for hardscape. DL has become less of a suburban "park" and more of an urban space. But if they're going to cram more people into the park, they need more space to move the crowds.

I actually agree that the maintenance of these rides is quite poor, but in the case of HM, I find the rundown FX add to its charm. It just seems like the more things degrade, the chintzier it all becomes.

That doesn't mean Lincoln's show is running. It's just the Disney Gallery might be open.

Went on the website but went to the Daily Events schedule page instead of the attractions page. Both Lincoln and Disney Gallery are on the refurb list on the 28th but both are taken off the day after so both will be closed on the 28th and reopen on the 29th.

Sounds like the Opera House will be used for the Press event, that is standard procedure for a major event. They can check in early, have interviews with celebrities/senior CM's related to the event, etc.

More like 10-20 man. Stop being a Lincoln hater! And that's 20 less people trying to get into the Cantina. Every little bit helps.

Who's being a Lincoln hater? I was just stating the number of guests I've seen on very busy days, not advocating for its removal.

Besides whether its 5-10 or 10-20 that is less than 1000-1200 people a day. That still a single little tiny drop in a bucket compared to the 70k+ that will be around daily this summer. So while every bit helps Lincoln won't help that much.

Anyways, Geez man bring it down a notch.
