I don’t understand the #2 “This is literally how Disney fans work?” I’m guessing just making a blanket statement that Disney fans are racist?
Love that show. Every once in a while I come up with Curb Your Enthusiasm scenarios. I’ve forgotten some good ones but my most recent…
My friend sent us a Christmas Card of his kids. I put it up on our fridge (which I never do with Christmas cards) and went out of my way to text my friend a picture of the card on the fridge with a message that read “thank you for the card, its getting prime real estate on our fridge right next to ( my sons) math award.” I had no real intention of keeping it up there.
Then my wife said “well make sure if they come before Christmas that you still have it up there.” And I laughed and thought that’s genius. So we then talked through how funny it would be if they came over next week and the Christmas card wasn’t on the fridge. As my friend grilled me on a why the card wasn’t on the fridge i would nervously deny moving it (in Larry fashion) only to have him walk into the living room and see my daughter using it as a coaster for her glass of juice.
Anyway, thought I’d share.

If there's one thing Bug's Land had that Avengers Campus doesn't, it's shade from the scorching sun.

Greetings guy, last December I created a post in this thread where I showed off my Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer Solar Bobbler/Solar Bobble Head. Well this year, I've finally found Clarice after months of searching! 
Took a bit of searching, but I found the Clarice Solar Bobbler/Solar Bobble-Head from Ebay recently. It also included a different Solar Bobbler of Rudolph in the same package. (Note the package different for Rudolph)
Now Rudolph can finally be with his sweetheart this Christmas and future Christmases to come!

I could certainly use it. We're doing 7 12's and I'm already dragging. I'm on a project for the Lahaina recovery effort and on a tight timeframe from the Army Corps. There's talk of going 24 hrs soon to get it done by January. I'm providing consultation and oversight, personally I don't know how the guys doing the actual work are still functioning.
It's really nice here and beautiful, but sucks because I get to my jobsite before sunrise, and depart after sunset. I know the condo I'm in has a spectacular view of the ocean and the Haleakala... but I've yet to see anything other than black. The view from the jobsite though isn't shabby though.....

Do you mean park reservations? They appear to be staying for the foreseeable future.
Believe it or not, being able to book reservations from now to early June is actually an improvement! But I wouldn't worry about being able to get reservations yet. It's annoying, but there's around a 99% chance you'll get the reservations you want unless you're booking them super close to when you want to go.

2024 is going to be a rough year for passholder Ne’er-Do-Well Cad, given Mansion (the good version) and Splash/Tiana will both be down all year.
2025, however, should be an outstanding year. It’s actually quite impressive how many tasteful plus-ups and solid new attractions are being added to Disneyland right now (certainly relative to the WDW parks), and how fresh the west side of the park will feel once they’re complete:
I think my post-Galaxy’s Edge/covid-closure malaise/concern has subsided.

- Adventureland Treehouse
- Haunted Mansion queue enhancements
- Tiana’s Palace
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
- Indiana Jones new effects
- Tropical Hideaway (okay not super new at this point, but it’s fantastic and brings so much life to Adventureland)

With the caveat that we don't actually know for sure that regular Mansion will be down all year.
It certainly could be, and it wouldn't surprise me, but I feel like this is a "Fantasmic Dragon will never return" sort of situation, where a few people whose overall view of the parks at the moment skews negative just decided or speculated amongst themselves that something would be a certain way, and everyone else just glommed onto it without any confirmation.

Are you saying Jim Hill got something wrong?
This could very well be the case. I heard it on Disney Dish, where I believe it was presented as speculation. But cynical parks fans (myself included) have indeed glommed onto it absent any official confirmation.
I'm going to embrace your perspective and remind myself this is just a rumor for now. Makes me feel better about renewing my AP, haha.

I feel this… as someone who hasn’t been to Disneyland since 2011, was planning to finally come back early 2024… and now seriously worried about committing to that.
I want the benefits of the slower / cooler time of the year… worried about ride closures and lack of entertainment.

I do wonder if, based on the last year or so, Disneyland is moving to more of a Tokyo-esque approach to refurbs, where something is pretty much always closed and getting work done. There were several closures during my visit in prime summer season, Space Mountain in October, now Mark Twain with more coming when Christmas officially ends...
I think we can all agree that their current approach to entertainment is frustrating. All anyone wants is for them to run things roughly the way things were in ~2015 or so, but now they act like they're doing us a favor when they bring back one show for what too often turns out to be a temporary or conditional run, and hope we don't remember that they used to run that show and three more at the same time consistently without sweating.

Probably a trite observation, but how great are those few seconds on Pirates just after you pass under the talking skull and are submerged into complete darkness. I mean truly, for a moment there you cannot see a thing. Those Imagineers, I tell ya!
More effective than any of the new Indy effects.
Speaking of Indy just watched Last Crusade for the first time in years. By far my favorite Indy movie. Don’t think I’d seen the whole thing in almost 30 years. Only the last 20 minutes of the movie really stuck with me. Loved the way it was shot and the father son dynamic. Going to watch Dial of Destiny tonight and watched Crystal Skull last night.

Ive heard it's better to skip Dial - and just pretend it was never made.
Lol. Most lists have it ahead of Crystal Skull and I didn’t think Crystal Skull was THAT bad. If it sucks I can always turn off Disney +
