Rivers of America (plus Railroad & Dioramas) Re-Imagineered 2017

[Californian Elitist]

$85 for a donut and a Sprite and all the information we already know about Walt and his trains? This has to be a joke.

Exactly. Walt's fondness of trains is no secret. Lots of great, public information out there. Hell, Walt's barn is open once a week and is free to all visitors. Lots of neat information regarding trains can be found there, including some of Walt's personal belongings and actual trains. Bob Gurr even stops by, every once in a while. Again, all FREE.

No way would I ever pay for this new tour.

Soda with a donut. Yuck!

Facts!

I remember walking to the Original Farmers Market on 3rd and Fairfax for a field trip in elementary school. I forgot the name of the stalls we visited, but one of them gave us sugar cookies and lemonade as a snack. Disgusting! I felt so sick afterwards.

Deserts with an equally or more sweet beverage is never a good idea.

lol that's so nasty! Coffee, tea or water with a donut. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Just wanted to throw it out there that the Grand Circle Tour tour is likely very similar to the other guided tours, and will probably feature more attraction experiences than just the Lily Belle. They could (and probably will) visit Casey Jr., Big Thunder Mtn., and in a stretch, the Monorail.

* Note: I am a Cast Member, but have no actual knowledge about what this tour is/will entail.

But it's a themed donut!

You guys are just impossible to please.

I personally prefer a glass of milk with anything sweet I eat, but water is fine as well. Lol.

Lol Completely forgot about milk.

Way too much sugar in that combo for me. I can't think of a cheaper catered snack than a donut. Maybe popcorn? And nothing says world-class themed resort like, "Hello and welcome. Please enjoy your donut and a Coca-Cola® before we head off on the Grand Circle Tour. That'll be $85 please, thank you".

I don't know which would be more embarrassing; taking the tour or being the cast member leading it.

Lol. Just embarrassing all around. Who's offering the these things and why do they think they can keep offering this crap?

It's baffling.

Anyone with a park admission can ride the trains all day long. A nice word to the conductor can get you a look inside the Lilly Belle parlor car. Heck, a total jerk of a person could still just walk up and look through the window of the Lilly Belle before he flips off the conductor. Included in your park ticket.

More info than your mind can absorb can be found for free via a Google search about Walt and his love for trains and that history on display at Disneyland.

And then the donut thing just makes this sound so idiotic and tone deaf, as if the $85 per person price required some sort of snack item. These people are idiots, there's no other way to explain this.

 

[SSG]

It's better be a damm fine donut.

I blame you for this. You're the one that raves to Disney on all the surveys about what a great bargain everything is.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

I never qualify for the surveys!

 

[mickEblu]

Non sense. Just the other day a CM asked me if I would be interested in taking a survey. First question was if I thought "the Haunted Mansion was charming" and if I would ever be interested in riding it "35 times in a row." The last question was "would bringing back the ghost fruit effect be worth the risk of possible world annihilation?"

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

It was such a charming effect. As it turned out, limited time magic. I stare at the fruit bowl every time, just hoping to catch a glimmer of fresh fruit reflecting in the glass.

They re too busy coming up with the brilliant Entenmann packages. Oops I meant entertainment packages.

 

[mickEblu]

What's next? 90$ To eat a Twinkie with Tinkerbell?

EDIT: well that might be worth it. I would need to see the fine print.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Happy charming days with the ghost fruit. An effect so charming, it probably had to go because it made Disneyland look less charming as a whole compared to it.
