I agree with Vox on TDS’s TOT ride element being weak. I cannot agree with his dislike for MiraCosta, which is among my favorite elements of TDS both as a paying guests or simply from the park. The flat painting on the walls is a Renaissance Italian technique (forget the name) and though it can look cheap I understand it’s acruslly costlier to produce than a textured facade. Other detail aspects of MiraCosta’s exterior really impress me, particularly how it’s one structure made to look like several together - complete with shifting roof lines, varying window frames, and other tricks to hide the hotel’s modularity.
One week from today I’m visiting Shanghai Disneyland!
