Disney just released the full “Once Upon a Studio” short on YouTube, so non-Disney+ folks like myself can finally give it a look.

Loved it. It’s like having “House of Mouse” back for a few minutes.

Finally got to watching it. It's simple, but it's definitely the best work WDA has put out in years.

Just some random questions if anybody has been to the parks lately. What did they end up putting in the window where the original 1955 Disneyland model was displayed at Mr. Lincoln? I know they recently brought it to Disneyworld. Also, does anybody know if the animatronic Vyloo creatures have returned to the Guardians queue? The last time I was there, they had been covered up for a while.

It became an animator's room, featuring an animator's desk and scale model of a multiplane camera.

I saw the robot birds there last week for Guardians.

Just thinking of Mission to Mars. Does the show buildings still exist for that? I know we don't have access from Pizza Planet back there. What are they used for?

Next step is an attraction-

Poop. There goes the neighborhood.

Haha! We close down attractions to make you pay more the ones we leave open!

Test Genie+ when literally everything else nearby that's a draw is closed, so that they can alternatively a) test how badly it will mangle traffic in the most risk-free possible way, or b) more easily reach a pre-determined conclusion that they can totally add Pirates to Genie+, issues be damned.

You're not fooling anyone, Disney.

Beautiful Coronado. Why can’t Paradise Pier be like this?

The Disney100 20/20 special is probably about what you'd expect, but given that the special made it around 55 minutes in before they started talking about non-Disney things/how great Bob Iger is and I started cringing, it is possibly above average for a modern Disney special.

Once Upon a Studio, though? About perfect for what it is and a great thing to watch to end the year.

I’m numb to all changes at this point. They should just tear down Disneyland.

Seems a bit extreme lol. I’ll miss the fountain too.

I’m hopeful (but doubt it will happen) that we get a little train watching area back.

That's awful. It should just be Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah played on repeat.

Lol, yeah that's what it should be.

Fun show! Seeing Barbie Pink in Paradise Bay is wild.

4.1 earthquake today at Rancho Cucamonga.

4.1 earthquake today at Rancho Cucamonga.

That doesn't even wake me up, I need something in the 5s before I get woken.

But seriously hope there was no damage or injury.
