I don't automatically disbelieve "experts", but after the last three years I now take anything they say with a giant chunk of salt. They are increasingly wrong. As this week's National Weather Service forecasts for several inches of snow at Disneyland this Friday prove.

As for safety and painting in the rain, I have seen people painting bridges and structures in wet weather. Even snow. Cement pours for foundations and walls in particular work great in the rain, the cement cures beautifully when its wet.

I imagine it was more an artistic decision regarding theme painting and artistic design skills, rather than a safety decision to protect people from the light to moderate rainfall that Anaheim got on seven separate days over the first two weeks of January. At least I hope it was an artistic decision, as I could respect that.

If it really was a "We can't do anything in light rain! It's unsafe! We have to cancel shifts this week and go home to have soup!" decision, then that's just laughable and deserves to be made fun of.

Just because you’ve seen people working in rain and snow, that doesn’t mean that working in heavy rain in Anaheim is automatically fine. We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.

You’re making an assumption.

What would the exterior of this enclosure have looked like since it's on the other side of the tracks? The entrance to Mermaid Lagoon looked like King Triton's castle if I recall.

It's on the other side of the berm and not right up against the tracks, so you could have just hidden the structure with actual trees and paint it green to blend in. Or you build more fake mountains on top of it like they did in SW:GE. Lots of things you could do if you really wanted to.

Some of the same people who think that WDW will have their Blue Sky projects happening and opened before 2030 are the same ones who are witnessing DL's Toontown two rides that were already built and operating before the redo, not ready.

I'm baffled as to why Roger Rabbit isn't open. The entrance/exit aren't dependent on any stores and that side of the land is open anyway. Either they are just trying to save money on electricity and CMs, or perhaps they are making a lot more changes to it than they led on, though I'm not betting on that.

I think logistically they only wanted MMRR open early and RR will just open with the rest of TT. It's a shame as any attractions down mean longer lines in other attractions.

as much as i think the little mermaid area looks awesome and would love something similar in states, I really do like the open skies of toon town and would rather that area not be enclosed

I agree.

I really thought that the teardown and reconstruction of the building behind TT was supposed to allow them to move the launchers further back so that the land can stay open during fireworks. I guess that was just early speculation on the part of MC or whoever it was that suggested it.

There's got to be a legit reason or two why Toontown had to push its reopening back a few weeks. But "Worker Safety In Light Rainfall!" isn't one of them. They probably just used the two weeks of rainy weather as an excuse for whatever the real, and less flattering, reason was.

As for the "Safety!" of working in light rain, this guy in this video proves it can be done. He's a hero, and a very good American!

He didn't complain about light rainfall and ask to go home to have soup and push the reopening of the freeway back a few hours.

He got the job done, because he was being paid to get it done. In hip deep water. Bravo, Texas Highway Worker Dude!

A man unclogging a drain is different than construction. Clearing a public safety issue is different than building a themed area for an amusement park.

I'm just excited as this weekend I'm scheduled to perform outdoors for a festival. Not sure how many people want to sit and watch a magic show in the rain. Bwahaha

It helps the VQ I guess. With both rides it would be nice to the guests to have something else to do right there, this probably helps staffing MRRR and pushes others out.

They already socially changed the dang ride with Jessica Rabbit randomly as a detective.

These are ugly. Sorry lol. Those costumes just aren't it. Tokyo's new Toontown costumes are much much better.

The new Toontown costumes certainly look classier in Tokyo. But that's increasingly the case as Anaheim goes in a completely different direction with their CM standards and operation...

The models aren’t exactly doing any help to sell the new Toon Town costumes.

Wow they really do go above and beyond in Tokyo. Are they really about to projection map the CM’s faces?

No, that would be too cheap. They actually have a certified Disney Artist(reserected. If you are lucky, it will be Ollie Johnston that day) and they hand draw the emotions on them. Good ole' OLC.

Disney Eats First Look at Mickey’s Toontown Treats Coming to Disneyland Resort

It's nearly time for Mickey's Toontown to reopen at Disneyland park and we've got a special first look at the treats coming to Café Daisy and Good Boy! Grocers.

Kid-friendly palate with a twist in presentation, which is about as good as we could hope for Toontown. I might actually try the food here; the flop-over, donuts, and cold brew look pretty good.

Love that basket/blanket combo from Good Boy Grocers. Perfect merch for the area. Rolled my eyes when they advertised you get three (yes, three! 🙄) snack-sized items with the basket though.
