And there you have it! But Miss Georgia doesn’t go on Twitter like the 19 year old that’s offended but rode Splash Mountain 17 times last Winter. So Miss Georgia’s opinion doesn’t count.

What city would you recommend?
She will however live longer, and prosper much more.

Josh D’amaro touched on Splash Mountain. Says we ll love how “contemporary” the retheme will be. Not really a word I’ve ever wanted associated Disneyland or what the park is about at all. I love all of the Contemporary lands at Disneyland. Especially Main Street.
And of course they once again twisted/ used the mandatory Walt quote about change.

Well prepare for long lines. Magic Kingdom is showing 45 min wait constantly.
45 minutes isn’t long. Not to me, at least.

Granted it is not the 3+ hours I stood in opening summer. When the rest of the rides were walk on, it is still a wait compared to walk on times across the park.

Depends what you’re looking for I guess. I was born and raised way out in the desert in West Texas far from any other civilization, but I last lived in Austin, which is probably one of the best cities in America for the arts (huge independent music and film scenes). But to be honest something about living in Austin kind of bugged me which I haven’t really been able to put my finger on. A lot of Austin is very “fake” if that makes sense. A lot of young people very full of themselves who move there to “live the Austin lifestyle” and such.
I like Dallas too although the D/FW area is absolutely massive, the very definition of urban sprawl. San Antonio is a big city which feels smaller and more compact with a lot of Hispanic culture. Houston I don’t really know that much about, but it’s huge.

The last thing that I want from Disneyland is something that feels "contemporary." DCA is supposed to be the more modern feeling park, Disneyland should always feel classic and timeless.
The past is far from perfect, but Disneyland works so well because it presents an idealized fantasy past that is (or was) the perfect place to escape the dullness of contemporary life.
If they desecrate The Haunted Mansion or Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, I will know for sure that any love I have for the present Disney Parks is fully gone.
After the crap fest of 2020, it would be great to be able to look forward to the future of Disneyland instead of dreading it.

Disneyland is better for having been made in the past.

I’ll say this much. Would rather wait and save even if a bit more expensive to go to TDL than any mainland resort at this point. Our last Orlando trip we skipped WDW cause... it was all the same. After 6 years. A commitment to quality matters.

People have been saying this about Disneyland for 50 years. Nothing ever changes.

Oh ya I’m sure people were out with their pitchforks in droves when they they turned a piece of the Eeyore parking lot into Indiana Jones or when they saw Fantasyland 83 for the first time.

The Eeyore Parking Lot was the best attraction at DL.

Rufus the snoring Bear was the best attraction attraction in Bear Country. When Splash Mountain rose up in its place people were not pleased.

It's all just part of the normal cycle at Disneyland. Something gets removed, causes lots of outpouring of grief and anger. Something gets added in and the grief and anger goes away. If you don't think people were upset when the Mine Train was removed for Big Thunder, or the Indian Village was removed for Bear Country, you're need to talk to more people.

Mine Train is the one valid example you have and you guys milk it to death. And let’s say what you re saying is true, the difference between before and then is that people would be pleasantly surprised and not still upset when the likes of Pixar Pier is unveiled.
